Chapter 708
Sophia’s voice stood out from the rest. Anastasia was about to pass by the lobby when she suddenly heard this
voice, and she couldn’t help but turn her head and glance at the girl who had greeted her. As their eyes met, one of
them was smiling while the other was full of pleasant surprise.
“Miss Goodwin.” Anastasia looked surprised to see Sophia at the front desk.
The other receptionists next to her
instantly stared at Sophia. Why is President
Tillman addressing her like they’re
acquainted? Do they know each other?
Anastasia walked up to Sophia with a friendly expression and asked curiously, “When did you start working at my
company?”
“It’s my first day here,” Sophia replied. Anastasia pondered slightly before offering, “I am short of an assistant.
Would you like to be my assistant?”
“But I’m not experienced in this area,” Sophia refused. She couldn’t casually accept the job either.
“That’s fine. You can learn if you don’t know.” Saying that, Anastasia said to Grace who was behind her, “Go to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHR department and handle the necessary procedures for her.”
Then, she turned to Sophia and said, “Come on, follow me to my office.”
Just like that, Sophia walked to the elevator with Anastasia under the envious gazes of all the receptionists. She was
filled with gratitude toward Anastasia for taking care of her, and Anastasia was also glad to have her as her
assistant.
Once they were inside the elevator, Anastasia asked Sophia concernedly, “Why aren’t you with Mr. Weiss?”
Previously, when Arthur brought Sophia along to her wedding, Anastasia noticed
his caring attitude toward her, so she thought that he liked Sophia. And when her husband was in danger last time,
Arthur and Richard had rushed over
from great distances to save him, so she naturally had to be kind to Sophia.
Sophia explained embarrassedly, “President Tillman, you must have misunderstood. W-We’re just friends.”
Anastasia pursed her lips into a smile. From the way Sophia carried herself, she didn’t look like she was from an
ordinary family. So, she asked, “Are you having some sort of family trouble?”
“No, I just wanted a stable job.” Sophia was unable to look straight at the dazzling Anastasia.
“All right, then you can rest easy and work with me! If there’s anything you don’t know, I’ll ask someone to teach
you.” As they exited the elevator, Anastasia instructed while pointing at the lounge nearby, “Go and rest over there
for now.”
Sophia felt extremely lucky to receive this treatment on her first day at work.
Grace promoted her position to the president’s assistant, making them colleagues.
“Grace, you have to teach her everything she needs to know about work. She’s a friend of my husband’s friend,”
Anastasia said to Grace..
“Yes, President Tillman, I will.” Grace nodded.
Soon, Sophia owned her own office, which was spacious and bright, and she could enjoy the excellent view from the
floor-to-ceiling windows. As they were located in a landmark building in the city center, the landscape was stunning
all around.
Anastasia had just taken a seat when her phone rang with a call from Elliot, which she answered. “Hello?”
“The housekeeper just called and told me
that Grandma suddenly collapsed. I’m rushing over from the financial summit to the hospital.” Elliot’s voice
sounded anxious.
Anastasia was taken aback as well, and she hurriedly replied, “I’ll head over too.”
She grabbed her bag and went out, but after a moment of thought, she said to Sophia, “Sophia, come out with me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace, stay here and call me if anything happens.”
Sophia immediately got up and followed her out, and when the two walked past the front desk and headed out of
the lobby, Adriana had already parked the car outside and was waiting for them. Then, the three immediately
rushed toward Presgrave Hospital.
Harriet, who had just been sent over, was in the emergency rescue room, while the housekeeper, Jodie, the hospital
director, and Brenda and her husband were all outside.
“Why did my grandmother collapse?” Elliot asked Jodie.
Jodie replied with reddened eyes, “There’s no reason. She just said in the morning that she wanted to trim the
flowers herself, so I brought her to the living room, but she collapsed soon after.”
Brenda was already in her fifties, and she comforted her nephew, “Calm down, Elliot. At your grandma’s age, these
things are bound to happen.”
