Capítulo 4

At Global Royal Pink QR Diamond, a mysterious acquisition team was negotiating with owner Jafet in the conference room; in the end, he signed an acquisition contract with a price of ten billion dollars. Until now, no one knew that they had replaced the boss. The middle-aged man who came out of the meeting took his phone and informed the other through the phone line: “Young Elias, the acquisition was successful, so you are now the president of Global Royal Pink QR Diamond. “Understood,” answered the other lightly. In order to fulfill what he promised her grandmother to go after Anastasia, Elías spent ten billion dollars to acquire the company in which she was working. Only Anastasia could refuse the marriage proposal, so in the process, he had to prove to her what he had done. Even so, it was unknown if he would be able to marry her in the end. Elijah expected Anastasia to reject him; after all, every good marriage had to be built on a foundation of mutual emotional interest. Otherwise, there would be no point in living with the other without love in between. Until that moment, Anastasia did not know that she would have a new boss. Over the next few days, she found a nearby preschool for her son and took him there for the freedom to work. The little boy seemed interested in her new school, so he took her teacher’s hand and bounded into her classroom with the backpack on her back. “Is that his son?” How handsome is he! He had never seen such a handsome boy,” commented an admiring mother. Anastasia pressed her lips together and smiled; it certainly made her happy as a mother when someone complimented her son’s good looks. At Bourgeois, Anastasia came to work on her first day. As a designer dispatched from the design department, she enjoyed many comforts; for example: she had an office of her own and a capable assistant. Also, she only designed to order for a select few and not for the masses. This was also one of the exclusive selling points of Global Royal Pink QR Diamond, that each customer had a unique personalization service for life. Anastasia’s assistant was named Gabriela Elizondo, a young, energetic, intelligent and capable woman. “Here’s your coffee, Anastasia,” she said as she brought it to him. “Thank you,” Anastasia agreed. In less than two minutes, Gabriela knocked on the door again. — Anastasia, the manager said that she will have a meeting at 3: 00 in the afternoon; the boss will be there, so she’s ready. At 3:00 sharp, Anastasia sat down in the boardroom, where there were several important members of Burgess, so it seemed like it was a big meeting. As Anastasia looked around her,

she inadvertently met the sharp gaze of a sultry woman in her twenties. Her name tag read “Alicia: Lead Designer.” Immediately, Anastasia understood and thought: “Being a real designer is a competitive thing.” Therefore, in the industry there were no friends, but competitive rivals. Since she was transferred from abroad, it was normal for others to dislike Anastasia. At that moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door, as if there were people approaching; later, the door to the conference room opened with a single push. The first person to enter was a tall man with a straight figure who was wearing a well-fitting suit. He had angular features and gave off a strong aura; after entering, he went to the main chair and sat down. Without saying a word, his majestic aura made his powerful identity known to everyone. When everyone saw it, there was instantly silence. “Why do we have another big boss?” In the audience, the designers were surprised and excited, as they could only feel butterflies in their stomachs at the sight of such a handsome man. As for Anastasia, she too was surprised, thinking: “Isn’t Burgess’s boss someone in his fifties? Why is this man so young? At that time, the vice president of the company, Lorenzo Yáñez, He cleared his throat and said: —Allow me to introduce Mr. Elías Palomares, who is the new executive president and president of the board of directors of QR International Jewelry. From now on, he will take care of all of Burgess’s affairs. Please everyone give him a warm welcome. Then, there was a sudden collective gasp from the audience. “Elias Palomares?” “He bought QR International Jewelry?”. As the others gasped in surprise and confusion, Anastasia looked up from her and looked at the man in question, who also happened to be looking at her. Elijah had a pair of very deep and sharp eyes like an eagle’s, so no one else dared to look at him. However, she Anastasia had guts and it was likely that she had already guessed why that man was here. «Could it be that as long as he does not accept the compensation from the Palomares, they will continue to appear? Was I not clear with what I said? “Let’s start with the board!” You will chair the meeting. Elías said to Lorenzo when he looked away from him. The women present were so excited that their eyes shone; in fact, what was discussed in the meeting did not matter to them, since they could only look at Elías with fascination. This man gave off incomparable superiority from head to toe and, moreover, he was very wealthy. Therefore, he was the man every woman in the country wanted to marry. Anastasia also did not listen to the content of the meeting because she wasExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

distracted. When she raised her head from time to time, she became aware that the man was looking at her, which made her uncomfortable; Soon, the other attendees took notice. «Why does Elías stare only at Anastasia?». Is it because she is young and beautiful? Instantly, all the women were jealous of her; it seemed that the special treatment that Elijah gave her infuriated them. Anastasia really wanted to yell at Elías to stop looking at her; still, she put up with it, because she just wanted to get the meeting over with and leave. Although she no longer wanted to continue in this company, when she remembered that she had just signed a five-year contract, she was speechless. After a while, the meeting was finally over. Anastasia was the first to run out of the meeting room and returned to the office, agitated; however, at that moment, there was a knock on her door. As soon as she turned around, Elías opened the door and entered; instantly, she looked at him, feeling annoyed at her presence. — She offers you something, President Palomares? —Anastasia she sat on her chair, looking a bit impatient, and she didn’t show her the respect due to her boss at all. When Elijah heard this, she pulled up the chair on the other side of the desk, sitting down gracefully with an air of arrogance and superiority. Then he said coldly, “Miss Torres, let’s talk.” “Is it about work?” Anastasia asked, raising her eyebrows. “You should know that I was kidnapped when I was five years old. It was her mother who gave her life in exchange for mine and that’s how I survived. For this reason, the Palomares family is grateful for all eternity and wants to make it up to him. Just tell me what you need and I will satisfy her needs —Elias expressed her thoughts while he looked at her calmly. “It is clear that he is doing this to make amends to my late mother.” -There’s no need. My mother saved you because it was her responsibility as an officer. She doesn’t have to make it up to me; I will not accept,” Anastasia firmly rejected. “I heard that she has a son. If you like, I can raise him with you and take care of him,” he offered with narrowed eyes. Anastasia raised her head to look at the man in front of her; At this moment, a sudden thought flashed through her head: “What? —Suddenly, it seemed to her that her son resembled that man: her facial features, eyes, temperament… and even his hair was similar. How weird”. “I don’t need someone to raise my son,” she denied again. I can raise him with you and take care of him,” he proposed with narrowed eyes.
