Chapter 206 Anastasia dropped Jared off at kindergarten early that morning. As the little guy made his way through

the doors, he turned around and blew her a kiss. Empowered by his sweet gesture, she vowed that she

would get the promotion and become associate director so that she could finally have better pav.

It wasn’t until after she had arrived at the company and sat down in her office that she remembered Erica

was coming into work today. At the thought of this, she dialed Grace’s extension and asked her to look

into this.

Not long after, Grace came running into Anastasia’s office with the information. “Miss Anastasia, your

sister has been arranged to work as a receptionist at the front desk.”

Well, seeing as she doesn’t have any corporate experience whatsoever, I guess manning the front desk

suits her, Anastasia thought.

Apparently, Erica had come into work early and started her job at the front desk. She had brought

lipsticks as gifts for the other receptionists, who were easily won over and got along with her right off the

bat. She wasn’t short of money, and because of that, she had given them all limited edition lipsticks,

thereby collecting brownie points.

After she settled down at the front desk, Erica picked up the receiver and found Anastasia’s extension

before dialing it.

“Hello, who’s this?”

“I’m working at your company now! Are you surprised?” Erica bragged with a smile on her face.

Anastasia was rendered speechless. Looks like Dad didn’t tell her how she got the job in the first place.

“In that case, make sure you do your best and stop making Dad worry about you incessantly.”

“Like I need you to point that out to me? Don’t tell anyone in the company that we’re sisters; I don’t want

them to think that I only got the job because of you,” Erica said snidely.

“I should be the one saying that,” Anastasia replied dryly.

With an indignant scoff, Erica hung up the phone.

When the call ended, Anastasia put the receiver down and got up to leave. She had to go into the shop

and see how things were going, but just as she was heading out, Felicia told her that the competition

was fierce. Both her rivals would soon start rallying support from friends and relatives, and Anastasia

was advised to do the same.

However, there was no way Anastasia could rally support when she didn’t even have that many friends

or family to begin with. All she had on her side were luck and innate talent.

Meanwhile, in the main conference room at Presgrave Corporation, the man who was chairing the

weekly meeting appeared somber as usual.

“That’s all for the weekly report, President Presgrave. Is there anything else you’d like for us to do?”

Elliot scanned the executives in the meeting and loosened up in his seat to assume a more casual

stance. Then, he said in a low and grave tone, “I need all your help with something.”

The audience immediately stiffened at this. All this while, they had only ever heard disparaging remarks

from him for their incompetence, but never a request for their help.

“What is it, President Presgrave? We’ll be sure to help you in whatever ways we can.”

“I have a friend who works in a jewelry store, and she’s running a little low on sales this month. I need

each of you to drop by her shop once, and your expenditure must not be less than a million.”

Upon hearing this, the executives in the room let out a collective sigh of relief. This was the first time they

had heard the president make such a strange request, but given their annual income, it was easy

enough for them to do as he said.

“If you know anyone interested in buying jewelry, it would be great if you could get them to drop by the

shop as well,” Elliot added.

“That’s no problem at all, President Presgrave. We’ll drop by your friend’s store and give her sales a

boost.”

“Don’t go all at once, though,” Elliot interjected. “Rey, draw up a schedule for Lance; we want those sales

to look credible.”

“Yes, President Presgrave,” Rey replied as he tried to keep himself from laughing. There were several

moments where he had to clap a hand over his mouth and look down to hide his amusement.

President Presgrave is pulling out all the stops just to rally support for Miss Tillman! All she wants to do is

compete for the position of associate director, and President Presgrave already has all the executives in

the corporation on board to boost her sales.

While this was happening, Anastasia dropped by the shop and spoke to the manager about the sales

for the past two days. Due to the less-than-strategic location of the shop, their sales weren’t looking so

good.

“Is there no other way we can gain more sales, Miss Chastain?” she asked the manager.

“Miss Tillman, if you’re suggesting that we advertise, then we’re going to need a much more flexible

budget. That said, if your company is willing to fork out the money, you can consider getting one of those

socialites or influencers to market the jewelry, but you’ll have to be able to pay them for it.”

Anastasia fell into deep thought. She knew this would be a gamble since there were plenty of examples

where hiring influencers to market the products ended up as a failed venture. Besides, she would have to

pay out of her own pocket if she wanted to go along with this, for the company would never approve a

budget for something like this. She had always been a mere designer, and right now, she was being

confronted by her lack of marketing skills.
