Chapter Ten: Signing the Contract

As soon as Arthur gave them permission to leave the room, they left the room without a moment's delay. After they left quickly, Arthur ran his hand through his hair in great annoyance.

"He thought he could find the girl very easily. Although he didn't know why he was trying to find the girl. He just felt that the girl was very familiar to him and he wanted to find out why he felt that way.

So he was trying to find the girl. He wanted to meet the girl once. He loosened his tie and leaned back in his chair. Everything seemed messy to him. The situation was very easy to see yet it was difficult.

He could smell a mystery from this. And all this started when he met that girl at the airport. Since he met that girl, many strange questions had arisen in his mind and he couldn't find the answers. Arthur understood very well that he would not find peace until he found the answers to these questions.

For this, he wanted to meet that girl at any cost. Arthur suddenly felt very tired. He closed his eyes and when the familiar smile and bright face appeared in front of him, Arthur immediately opened his eyes. His heart was filled with regret again.

On the Other Side

Anastasia read the contact paper carefully and then she put her signature.

Anastasia put down the pen. "I signed the contract paper, but you know very well that I do not know how long I will stay here. Maybe I can leave here before the contract period ends. For that, you have to arrange a backup model in advance. Or, maybe to gain my goal I may have to join somewhere else. And if the situation comes, then you have to accept the situation," Anastasia said, looking at Alden.

Alden was still staring at Anastasia's beauty with unblinking eyes. When Anastasia saw that he was looking at him without answering, she felt a little uncomfortable and waved her hand in front of Alden.

Alden came to reality and spoke up, "Sorry, were you saying something.

"I was saying that even if I sign the contract paper, I may leave here before the contract period ends or join somewhere else from here to achieve my purpose. So you have to arrange another backup model in advance.

In the future, if I decide to leave, you can not say anything to me. I don't want any issues to arise later. Even if you ask me to stay here until the period ends, I won't be able to stay here.

I want to be clear with you about this in advance." Hearing Anastasia's words, Alden smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. It won't create any issues with it. And even if you leave, I won't force you to stay here. You can rest assured that as long as you are here, I won't create any pressure on you." Alden smiled and Anastasia nodded at him.

"When do you want to start your next project, photoshoot? I want you to give me advance notice about my schedule," Anastasia asked him.

"The photoshoot will start Next week. You don't know how much our company has benefited from your joining our company. Like every time, this time we will not lag behind, this time we have been able to compete with George Company.

Even though model Ashley is famous, she will not be able to win against you. I can assure you that very soon you will become the most popular model in this country." Alden spoke up with a smile.

Anastasia said after hearing Alden's words, "I did not come here to compete with that Ashley. I have no intention of replacing her as the top model of this country. I came here for my own needs. I do not want to like her"

Alden smiled at her and said, "This is your greatest quality that you are humble and have no greed in you and it sets you apart from others. That is why your audience likes you so much."

Without answering Alden's words, Anastasia stood up and said, "Since the photoshoot will start next week, I will come and join the company next week. If you need anything before then, call this number. This is my assistant's number." Saying this, Anastasia took out a card from her bag and placed it on the table.

As she turned to leave the office, Alden got up from the chair and asked in a nervous voice, "If you are free, can we have lunch together? I know a good restaurant here. It will be an honor for me to have lunch with you," Anastasia looked at him without saying anything after hearing Alden's words.

Alden nervously scratched his head and said, "As a thank you for my company, I want to have lunch with you and drop you home. I have no bad intentions. Hope you don't misunderstand my intention.

"Thanks for the offer, but there is no need to do this and someone is waiting for me at home. I need to go home" Anastasia said without giving him a chance to say anything else and left the cabin.

Alden tried to stop her but by then she had already left the cabin. He wanted to drop her home so he could spend some time with her.

Seeing Anastasia leaving the cabin like this, Alden smiled and said, "She must have been feeling shy and left like this. I have never seen such an innocent and beautiful girl like her. I never thought that a day would come when I would call a girl beautiful and innocent.

"Anastasia is really different from everyone else. She is a pure and soft-hearted girl," Alden said, then one by one he started looking at Anastasia's previous photoshoot pictures and smiled.

"Sir, I think this time we can challenge George Company. This time the competition will be the most challenging ever." Hearing the assistant's words, Alden shook his head and said, "Not at all." Model Ashley Smith could be a top model. But Anastasia is something else.

Even though she is the biggest model in the country, in front of Anastasia she is an old wall with peeling paint and moss on the wall. And everyone in the industry knows why Ashley has been on the top model list for the past five years.

If Mr. George hadn't helped Model Ashley, Ashley would have disappeared from the industry by now, and no one would remember her name. It's because of Mr. George that she has survived for so long. I don't know why Mr. George has been helping her so selflessly for years," Alden said with a frown.

"Everyone in the industry knows that Mr. George has a romantic relationship with Model Ashley. And it is also widely publicized that Mr. George got divorced because of his relationship with Model Ashley. Although Mr. George has never commented on the matter," Alden's assistant said.

"The more popular the story, the more likely it is to be false. In any case, I don't want to talk about other personal matters. The photoshoot will start next week. Get everything ready. And don't let anyone outside know about our model. I want to tell everyone this news after the photoshoot is over," Alden said to him.

"Boss, I don't think we can keep such big news under wraps for long. It is just stupid to think that a famous model will work with our company and this news won't get out.

Even if you or I try to suppress this news, her fans will come here to follow her and leak this matter to the media." Hearing the assistant's words, Alden said, "What her fan will do is another thing. This news should not be leaked from my company."

Hearing Alden's words, his assistant nodded and left the cabin.

Anastasia entered the grocery store wearing glasses and a mask and bought chocolate, ice cream, and snacks for the children. After buying everything, she was coming out of the store when she saw Ashley entering the grocery store and her fan following her from behind, filming her.

Ashley was waving at them with a smiling face. When she set her eyes on Ashley, the fire of revenge burned in Anastasia's mind and heart. She clenched her fists in anger and tried to control herself.

Just then, a fan stood in front of Ashley and asked, "Why did you come to the store even though you have a servant at home? If you wanted, you could have your house servant or your assistant do whatever you needed, so why did you come to the store yourself instead? "

Hearing the fan's words, Ashley smiled shyly and said, "I want to cook for my special one. That is why I came to do grocery shopping. I want to do everything myself for my loved one." Saying this, Ashley looked down in shame.

Hearing her words, there was a commotion among her fans. Another fan asked her from behind, Will you cook for your boyfriend, Arthur George? We all saw Mr. George standing at the airport to receive you and after that, we saw in a video that you cooked and entered his office with a tiffin box in your hand,"

Ashley said with a sweet smile after hearing the fan's words, "Actually, I don't want to announce my personal life like this publicly because he doesn't like it. He likes my cooking so much that I often cook for him whenever I get time and spend some beautiful moments together."

Hearing Ashley's words, another fan said, "Ma'am, we have been seeing you two dating for five years. When will you get married? Can we expect to hear any good news soon?" Hearing the fan's words, Ashley raised her hand and everyone's eyes fell on the diamond ring in her hand.

As soon as they looked at the ring, there was another commotion among the fans. They all started asking in excited voices, Madam, are you engaged? Did Mr. George propose to you? Why didn't you share the video of this engagement with us? We also want to enjoy this beautiful moment of yours."

Anastasia was watching all this from afar. Looking at the ring on Ashley's finger, she realized that it was their wedding ring that she had left when she came out of the house.

Anastasia's body shuddered with disgust as she thought about how Arthur had actually used their wedding ring to propose to her.

Unable to control herself, she took two steps forward and asked loudly, "The ring you are wearing is Mr. George's wedding ring. So were you really having an illicit affair with your sister's husband? When the news of your and Mr. George's relationship came to the industry, Mr. George was your sister's husband? If I am not mistaken, in that picture from five years ago, you were seen coming out of the hotel room with him. Did you really spend the night with your sister's husband in the hotel?

So you really stole your sister's husband? And it also said that your sister committed suicide because of this, which your current boyfriend, Arthur George, pretended to be an accident.

How did you spend the night with your sister's husband? Didn't you remember your sister's face for once? Didn't your conscience ever bother you to be unfaithful to your sister? How did you cheat on your sister and steal her husband from her? Didn't you feel bad for your sister? How could you do this to your own sister?

Or did you really You slept with your sister's husband for money?
