Chapter 599
Twenty–eight–year–old Mason was a lively young man who exuded an aura of someone who would accomplish
great things in the future.
Anastasia wondered what his position was in Bourgeois. Could it be the head of design position that Felicia
mentioned? That was an even higher rank over Felicia.
Anastasia got out of the car and Adriana immediately came to stand beside her. Mason‘s breath caught in his
throat as he watched Anastasia approaching him.
Clearly, the Anastasia he remembered was the young woman he met at the design institute, the one in the bleakest
period of her life. She was entirely different from this elegant and refined woman who was flashing him a brilliant
smile.
“Anastasia, you‘ve changed so much! I could hardly recognize you.” Mason could not take his eyes off her.
“Thank you! A lot has happened in the three years we‘ve lost touch. Come, let‘s grab a bite to eat. My treat.”
“Okay, let‘s go!” Mason noticed Adriana and asked with a smile, “Is this your friend?”
Anastasia nodded. “Yeah, she‘s my friend. This is Adriana.”

However, Adriana simply responded with a curt nod. Mason felt a little awkward, and he thought that this friend of
hers was a little cold!
Anastasia nudged Adriana. “Adriana, I‘m going to get something to eat with my friend. You‘ll be alright by yourself
for a little bit, yeah?”
“Miss Tillman, this...”
“It‘s fine,” Anastasia assured her.
However, Adriana simply said, “I‘ll go with you, but I‘ll keep out of your way.”
Mason caught their conversation and could tell that Adriana behaved more like a bodyguard or an assistant.
“Okay!” Anastasia did not stop her from joining them. The three of them headed to a nearby restaurant.
Adriana took her orders from Elliot as well, and now that Anastasia was having a meal with another guy, she
informed him at once.
Right at that moment, in the middle of a solemn meeting at Presgrave Group, Elliot‘s phone vibrated with a new
message notification. He was listening to one of his employees give a presentation, but after glancing at his phone,
he picked it up immediately.
“President Presgrave, Miss Tillman came to Presgrave Group to meet with a male friend.”
This message was followed by a picture of Anastasia walking with a man.
Elliot‘s eyes narrowed. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the two people in the picture, but his heart felt
a pang nonetheless.
Why did his sweetheart come to Presgrave Group but not look for him? Why did she come to meet some other guy
instead? Why were they having a meal together?
Elliot grew more and more frantic with each thought.
“Do you know who he is?” Elliot typed back.
“His name is Mason Sullivan, a new hire at Bourgeois.“.
Elliot waved Rey over. “Look into this person‘s identity and background.”
Throughout the meeting, Elliot could not focus at all. He kept staring at the picture on his phone, and soon, Rey
passed an iPad over to him with a resume on display.
Elliot studied it carefully, and once he saw where Mason had graduated
from, he realized that this must be one of Anastasia‘s friends from the design institute overseas since their tenure
of study overlapped.

Elliot gave a small sigh. He knew very little about the five years Anastasia spent overseas. All he knew was that it
was the hardest period of her life. She was pregnant and alone in a foreign country. Anyone who helped her back
then was equivalent to her savior.
Did this mean that this man was also one of the people who extended a helping hand to her back then?
If that were the case, there would be no way for Elliot to get involved in their relationship. He did not want
Anastasia to be mad at him.
At the restaurant.
After taking a seat, Mason stared at Anastasia and commented wistfully, “It‘s great that you no longer have it so
hard anymore.”
“Thank you for all your help back then. You helped me survive the darkest period of my life,” Anastasia declared
gratefully. “Is your younger sister, Katrina, back as well?”
“Yeah, she‘s back home and currently working as a model.”
“She does have the talent for it. I‘m sure she‘ll do well as a model,” Anastasia said with a smile. Katrina was a very
pretty girl.
