From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 478

As Sherman turned around, the assistants immediately opened their group chat.

"Mr. Christensen just fetched a soda for our boss's wife!"

"Guess she loves her fizzy drinks too."

"Mr. Christensen is so attentive to her!"

"Attentive? Come on, does he seem like the type to dote on someone?"

"He's so impressive. Maybe she pursued him first?"

"They haven't even announced anything officially! Why are you all so eager? Maybe they're just friends. Word is, Mr. Christensen wasn't even interested in Carlotta, so why would he go for anyone ordinary?"

"I think our boss's wife is prettier than Carlotta!"

"Agreed!"

Sherman entered the office with the soda.

Anthea had regained her composure and was typing away at her computer.

On the surface, she seemed calm, but inside, she was a bundle of nerves.

That had been her first kiss. Her very first, in this life or any other!

"Anthea."

A deep voice broke the silence above her.

"Hmm?" Anthea looked up, meeting Sherman's deep, dark eyes.

"Here's your chilled soda," Sherman said, handing it to her.

Anthea took a sip, letting the cold drink calm her racing heart.
