Chapter 942
The promised day of companionship was now half gone. Anastasia was a little disappointed and puffed out her cheeks, but she still said obediently, “Oh, okay p>
Anastasia finished her breakfast while on the phone, only hanging up reluctantly when Harrison said he had to get back to work.
Afterward, she had planned to ask Juliet out, but she first received a text from an unknown number, specifically naming her and asking to meet at a certain restaurant.
Anastasia raised an eyebrow and deleted it.
She had no intention of responding to messages from unknown sources.
She went ahead and called Juliet, then got ready and left the house.
Juliet had been incredibly busy lately because Bruno had given her a very heavy workload. Juliet’s talent wasn’t as great as Anastasia’s, but since he had taken her on as a disciple, Bruno was naturally committed to training her properly.
Juliet, of course, knew what was good for her and had no complaints about the demanding curriculum. Anastasia felt a bit sorry for her and had previously asked, “Should I talk to Mr. Austin and ask him to lighten your load a bit p>
But Juliet had shaken her head firmly. “No, Anastasia. Mr. Austin is doing this for my own good, I know that. My talent isn’t as great as yours, so of course, I have to work harder. I want to become excellent too, so I don’t embarrass Mr. Austin or you in the future p>
Anastasia could only let it be.
Because of Juliet’s busy schedule, Anastasia hadn’t invited her out for a few days. After not seeing each other for so long, they were overjoyed to be reunited.
“How has Marcus been lately? Has he been harassing you again p>
After some warm catching up, Anastasia brought up the topic that always kept her on alert.
Juliet looked a bit embarrassed but also innocent. “He has asked me out, but I’m so busy I don’t even have time to see you, Anastasia. How could I have time for him p>
On the rare occasion she had free
time, like today, she would give it to Anastasia. And even if she couldn’t see Anastasia she would rather call her than accept Marcus’s myitation
Anastasia smiled with satisfaction.
The two had a meal and strolled around for a bit before Juliet had to go back-she had asked for leave from Bruno just to come out and couldn’t stay away for too long.
Anastasia saw Juliet off into her car. As she turned to leave, someone called out to her.
“Ms. Sterling p>
Anastasia turned around and saw a vaguely familiar person-
Timothy’s fiancée, Serena!
Serena was accompanied by others, likely a nurse and a personal assistant assigned by her family due to her poor health.
She walked over, a smile on her pale, almost translucent face. Her voice was weak
yet polite. “Ms. Sterling, excuse me, may I treat you to a meal p>
Anastasia raised an eyebrow.
As far as she knew, she and Serena only knew of each other by name and reputation. They had never even been formally introduced.
Suddenly inviting her to a meal? For what?
Then, she remembered the text she had received two hours earlier. “Was that text from you, Ms. Mitchell p>
“It was,” Serena said with a small, slightly embarrassed smile, lowering her head. “I apologize, I know it was a bit forward of me, but have something very important to discuss with you, Ms. Sterling p>
