After a long drive from her place, Anastasia arrived at the RIS group, where Emery dropped her off while Emery waited outside.
She entered the administrative area, striding confidently to the secretary's table with her hips swaying subtly, aware of the staff members' eyes on her.
She heard them whispering about how beautiful she looked and her talent since they recognized her to be a famous actress and model.
Anastasia appreciated their admiration, though she knew it was fleeting, for those whispered praises today would likely scorn her tomorrow or the slightest mistake.
With a neutral expression and shoulders held high, she approached the secretary at his desk, as she didn't look affected by their praise.
When the assistant's gaze met the public figure, he greeted her with a polite smile. "Good afternoon, Anastasia. Welcome to the RIS group. What can we do for you?"
