Anastasia was now standing in front of the receptionist's desk, waiting for them to call and grant her permission to enter the office. She turned and looked around; even though she had worked at Drewnia Group before, she had never been to the main headquarters. The vibe felt completely different.
"Excuse me, miss?" The receptionist called out, immediately turning Anastasia's attention back.
"Yes?" she smiled.
"I'm sorry to inform you, but the CEO's office has rejected your request for a sudden appointment," the receptionist carefully informed her.
"He refused? Did you tell him my name?" She gulped. "I mean… if you haven't, can you ask again, saying Anastasia is waiting to meet him—urgently?" Her voice was low, but the receptionist could hear the desperation in it.
