From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 550

If you hadn't witnessed it yourself, who would ever believe it? Mr. Christensen-a man famous for keeping his distance from women-had his phone answered by a woman.

"Yes, just a moment. I'll let him speak with you," Anthea said, then leaned over to hold the phone up to Sherman's ear.

"Hello.” Sherman's lips barely parted, his normally cool voice now edged with an extra chill. "Have Four Corners handle negotiations at the southern construction site. I want your department's proposal on my desk in three days."

He already held a commanding presence, but when it came to business, that authority was almost magnetic.

Anthea couldn't help but think it was a shame.

How could someone this remarkable choose to live like a monk?

When the call ended, Anthea set the phone back on the center console, then casually opened the car's mini-fridge and pulled out a box of dessert.

At some point, Sherman's fridge had become stocked with every kind of sweet treat imaginable.

Maybe... even Sherman himself hadn't noticed it.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, the head of the planning department was stunned.
