The Bound Between Us

Chapter 67

Anastasia always took on tasks handed to her by others, bringing documents to the printer.

Lauren, holding a cup of coffee, walked over to the printer after witnessing this.

Anastasia smiled, “So what? If I don’t sweat it out in school, I’ll have to sweat it out in the real world”

While printing the materials, Anastasia smiled and said, “There’s a time and place for everything. They won’t stop giving me work just because I treat them to afternoon tea”
