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, what is wrong with you, how you always accept tasks from others. They are obviously using you” Lauren and Anastasia arrived at the company together, they’re close. Seeing Anastasia being taken advantage of made her somewhat angry.

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

Anastasia was cheerful and only had a high school diploma. Being a newbie with no experience, she naturally had to be humble and learn.

Everyone in the design department graduated from prestigious schools, and they all had some fame in the jewelry design industry

Lauren was left speechless, seemingly understanding the logic.

You’re a designer’s assistant, these errands shouldn’t be your duty” Lauren said, “How about you go buy something, treat everyone to a coffee, and then buy some afternoon tea for later?”

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”

Lauren had tried this before, it might not work if she did it again. Plus, Anastasia didn’t want to waste money.

Treating the design department to afternoon tea might strain her financially.
