“That's of course. | won't let her have an easy time,” Erica said resentfully.

“Well, then, let's go shopping. Hayley suggested before getting up to pay the bill.

She went to the counter as Erica waited for her in her seat. The card she was using right now was Alex's, so she naturally handed it to the waitress, who then swiped the card. However, the card was declined.

“Sorry, miss, but this card of yours is declined, the waitress said to Hayley.

Hayley took the card and glanced at it. “How is that possible? | just used it this morning. Swipe it again.” The waitress tried a few more times, but the payment was still declined.

Hayley had no choice but to take the card back and pay the bill in cash. As she walked toward Erica, she was inwardly puzzled. Did Alex cancel the card he had given me? When Erica suggested that they go shopping, Hayley excused herself, saying that she had something to deal with. As a result, Erica had no choice but to drive her somewhere and drop her off.

After parting from Erica, she hurried to a bank to find out what was wrong with her card. She was sitting at the counter when the bank officer said to her in surprise, “Miss, this card of yours has been frozen, so it can’t be used.” “What? It's frozen? Who froze it?” “Are you the owner of this card? If not, you should ask the owner what's going on.” “Under what circumstances will a debit card be frozen? Hayley asked curiously.

“There are many circumstances that can cause this. You should ask the card’s owner to find out what happened in particular.” As Hayley left the bank with the card in her hand, she had a bad feeling in her gut. She took out her phone and dialed Alex's number.

“Hey, Hayley.” “Alex, why is your card frozen? | couldn’t buy what | wanted.” “What? Wait a minute. Alex was checking his phone's messages; he hadn't had tto check his cell phone because he was too busy with the meeting. And sure enough, his phone registered a notification from the bank saying that all the bank cards under his nhad been frozen. “Hayley, I'll call you back in a minute. The card isn’t usable for the tbeing.” Inwardly, he was anxious as well, for he knew whose doing it was. It's Anastasia. After hanging up on Hayley, he anxiously stepped out of his office.

Anastasia didn’t cto the finance department today, so the only ones working here were her subordinates. Alex went to Gregory Lewinsky, the group leader in charge of the department's affairs. “Mr. Lewinsky, why did you have my cards frozen? Who gave you the right to do so?” he questioned angrily.

“President Hunter, this is done on Miss Tillman's orders. You can call her to ask her about it. Gregory replied immediately.

However, Alex dared not call Anastasia, mainly because he was the one in the wrong and that it'd be difficult to talk about his misappropriation of the company’s funds. “Mr. Lewinsky, how about you unfreeze my cards first? I'll explain the matter to Miss Tillman later.” he said.

“Sorry, but we only obey Miss Tillman's orders here, Gregory replied coldly while snubbing Alex Alex had no choice but to leave the finance department. Standing before the French window, he took out his cell phone and pondered for a moment. Still, he dialed Anastasia’s number.

“Hello? Anastasia’s voice was chilly.

“Anastasia, could you informbefore freezing my debit cards? My life is affected now that all my debit cards are completely unusable,” Alex said in a polite tone.

Anastasia had no intention of letting him off, though. “President Hunter, you should know why | have your debit cards frozen.

There are problems with several accounts, so your cards will be unusable until the money is recovered.” “Anastasia, I'm Erica’s husband and your brother-in-law. Could you unfreeze my debit cards first for the sake of our relationship? I'll solve the rest of the issues as quickly as possible,” Alex implored humbly.

“Sorry, but let's follow the company’s rules,” Anastasia replied before hanging up.

At once, Alex pounded the wall as if he had gone crazy. He had been under tremendous pressure recently. There were always problems with running the company: he often had to deal with either a lack of materials or a bunch of customer complaints. Not only that, but he had to source for new clients. In other words, being the president of Tillman Constructions was far from being as glamorous as he had imagined.
