"We are not partnering with the Nexera Enterprise," Anastasia declared, slamming the docunt in her hands on the table hard enough for everyone to hear.
It was their monthly eting when ideas regarding companies that would be a good resource for Xastia would be decided. Logan and the others suggested Nexera Enterprise.
"Nexera enterprise has been doing well for several decades. They’re one of the best companies to partner with," Logan tried to convince Anastasia with a clenched fist.
"Perhaps you’ve forgotten, the owner of Nexera Enterprise has been arrested several tis for involvent in illegal activities. He’ll tarnish the company’s reputation," Anastasia reasoned, her voice firm yet controlled. However, her shareholders responded with dismissive glances, their expressions betraying a collective disinterest. It was as if her words were nothing more than background noise, and the weight of her concerns fell flat against the room’s indifference.
"You know what, if Jack or Robert had been the one sitting on that seat..." He pointed at Anastasia’s chair. "I’m sure they would’ve agreed with my idea," he finished.
"Maybe you should go and et them wherever they are and tell them what you think," Anastasia retorted without holding back.
Since the past few months she’d been the CEO of Xastia company, Logan has always given her a hard ti, especially after she bought Rudy’s shares and kicked her out of her company.
She couldn’t bla him for his outburst at that ti since he would probably miss his partner, whom he would gang up against her with.
Either way, he was starting to cross his lines each ti they held a eting.
Logan was imdiately fud by Anastasia’s reply.
Anastasia was rely in her mid-twenties, and Logan was already middle-aged, so he felt she was being extrely disrespectful to him at that mont.
"There’s no way I’m sending a partnership contract to Nexera Enterprise so you can forget partnering with them," Anastasia declared one more ti, ignoring their ugly displeased faces.
"You say that the owner of Nexera enterprise is a criminal, but not once was any evidence revealed regarding what they did," one of the shareholders stated.
"I’m still not partnering with them," Anastasia replied.
She glanced at Christian Lorenzo, briefly nodding, stood up, and left the eting room with Leo trodding behind her as she went to her office.
"I can’t help but wonder whom Jack and Robert have been partnering with since they were in charge of this company for them to think it’s alright to partner with criminals," she mumbled as Leo closed the doors behind him.
"In the past records, it shows that this sa company has partnered with them. Maybe that’s why they think it’s alright to partner with them one more ti," Leo reasoned, typing sothing on his tablet.
Anastasia took a mont to sit down and digest everything.
"That’s right! You have a eting in the next hour," Leo reminded her and she nodded.
"I’ll clear out this paperwork, then we can leave." She responded.
Leo excused himself, leaving Anastasia to get to work.
While Anastasia continued to work, she received a call from her office telephone.
"What?"
"Mrs. Wallace, there are so police officers here to speak with you," Leo replied.
A deep frown ford on Anastasia’s forehead, wondering if it could be the officers she’d sent to Michelle the other day.
Checking the date, she rembered she’d asked the officers to arrest Michelle in two days, which was today.
If there are officers outside her office, it could only an they weren’t the ones she sent to Michelle.
"Bring them in," she responded.
After a few seconds, the door opened with four police officers, wearing a grumpy face with tight lips as if she’d committed an actual cri.
Leo was behind them, also wondering what they’d co for.
"Good day to you, Mrs. Wallace. If you don’t mind, we would like to take you to the police station for so questioning," one of them introduced.
"I very much mind," Anastasia responded, glancing between them. "Because I don’t see any IDs."
The officers quickly took out sothing from their pockets and showed it to them.
"Why do you want to take her to the police station," Leo questioned.
"A case was filed against Mrs Wallace here," another officer replied, which earned a frown from both Anastasia and Leo.
"What case?"
"Ms. Michelle Harrison accused Mrs. Wallace of killing her unborn baby. Since there was no evidence, we can only take Mrs Wallace for questioning," the officer responded.
’Co on, Michelle.’ Anastasia thought to herself as she fought back a grin.
"Please, co along now, Mrs Wallace."
Anastasia signaled Leo not to question the officers anymore, and she willingly followed them out.
When they got to the police station, Michelle was already there along with her mother, Gary, and Jack. Mr. Theodore Perez was also there, glaring at Anastasia as they brought her in.
"Oh wow! You’re also here," Anastasia bead, loving where this was heading to.
"You bitch! You’re the one that killed my baby! You and your sister," Michelle imdiately accused. "Where’s she?" Michelle questioned, glancing around and not finding Tracie anywhere.
"I’m right here," Tracie responded.
Anastasia turned to find Tracie behind her.
’Michelle is serious,’ Anastasia thought as she muffled a laugh.
Michelle even had to involve Tracie.
"You two! You two killed my baby!" Michelle continued to accuse.
Tracie bumped Anastasia on the elbow as she glared at her sister.
"You see what I was telling you? You try to be good and then it backfires on you. If only you’d just left her there to die, maybe she wouldn’t have had the mouth to accuse us of killing her child."
Anastasia couldn’t help but nod in agreent.
"It was my fault for trying to save her indeed," she agreed.
Theodore’s eyes squinted, wondering what they ant.
"But then, since we’re at the police station, soone must go to jail now right?" Anastasia thought out loud.
"What do you an by that?" Michelle questioned Anastasia with tears in her eyes.
