From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 477

With Nanson's words in mind, Gerard's anticipation to meet his mother only grew.

He couldn't wait for the day they would finally be reunited!

The two of them chatted for quite a while, and it wasn't until after four in the afternoon that Nanson drove Gerard back to his hotel. "Gerry, I have to travel to County Pellonia for work tomorrow, so I won't be able to see you off when you leave for Capital City the day after. Make sure to text me when you get there."

"Will do," Gerard nodded. "Goodbye, Mr. Yeager."

"Goodbye."

At the Christensen Corporation.

Anthea stood behind the boss's chair, while Sherman sat in it, pointing at the computer screen, "Here, here, and here there are a few minor issues. See if there's any way to fix them."

Anthea leaned in slightly, her elegant, fair fingers resting on the mouse.

A subtle, fresh fragrance emanated from her, filling his senses.

It was a scent unlike the synthetic notes of perfume.

It was natural, like the earthy aroma after a rain, irresistibly intoxicating.

Just then...

A playful strand of her hair slipped from her ear and brushed against his, the soft ends tickling his ear with a gentle, tingling sensation.

It felt rather enchanting.

Thump, thump, thump-
