Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 30

Anastasia tidied her messy hair, the red shape of a palm obvious on her pretty face. “Chase them out!” she said to Felicia.

“I am Anastasia’s stepmother, and I have a private business to settle with her,” Naomi barked.

“I don’t care who you are. This is a company, not the backyard of your house. If you refuse to leave, I’m calling the police.” Felicia had no regard for Naomi.

Naomi thought she couldn’t involve the police in this matter, so she pulled her daughter along as she said, “Let’s go, Erica. We’ll continue this later.”

Anastasia bit her red lip and let out a sigh as she watched the duo leave. As for the onlookers in the office, most of them couldn’t help but see Anastasia in a new light. Despite her slender frame, she could actually put up a fight against the duo.

“What’s wrong with you, Anastasia? How are people coming over so often to pick on you?” Felicia and Anastasia were equally exasperated by the recent events, and the latter made a promise to her superior. “I’ll try my best not to bring personal matters to the company.”

Anastasia returned to her office, and she was about to tie her hair up when her landline rang. She reached out and picked it up. “Hello.”
