Anastasia arrived home with Augustus as she looked a bit hazed, striding towards the staircase that led to her room.
She halted her steps, turning to face Augustus when she heard him saying.
"Anna, you don't look okay. Is there anything on your mind?" Augustus asked, appearing worried.
On their way home, he noticed she looked troubled and didn't want to speak about it.
Anastasia stared down at the cell phone vibrating in her hand with the incoming call from Valentino, which she had muted during the day.
Anastasia returned her gaze to Augustus, who looked worried. "Mr. Beverley wanted Valentino for breakfast earlier so we can discuss our engagement." She said as she noticed a displeased expression on him.
"Did you accept it?" Augustus asked, his voice laced with jealousy and anger, after hearing what Anna said to him.
Anastasia shook her head. "He wasn't there, and I told Mr. Beverley I have to talk with him about it first."
