Anastasia, still reeling, couldn't process what had just happened. She had gone on a hike and somehow ended up married, and she wondered if the certificate could be fake since she hadn't even gone to City Hall or met her husband. She quickly checked her phone. As expected, her status had changed from single to married. The groom's details hadn't appeared yet, likely because the record was still updating. At that moment, Claire called. "Anna, I spoke to my cousin. He has agreed. Let's meet at the usual spot tonight so you two can get acquainted, and then get the certificate tomorrow. How does that sound?" Anastasia could only reply, "But I'm already married." Claire was stunned. "Married? When did that happen?" "Just now," Anastasia muttered, feeling like she had stepped into a dream. "You probably won't believe it, but the prayer at Elevare Abbey actually works-my perfect partner just fell from the sky." Claire asked, "So... what's his name?" Anastasia stared blankly. "I have no idea." Meanwhile, at Skycrest Corporation. "Mr. Kairos, here's the financial report for this quarter," Winora Quinn stated, stepping into the CEO's office with a stack of documents. In her thirties, Winora had joined Skycrest Corporation straight out of college and steadily climbed the ranks over a decade to become Sebastian's chief assistant. Her delivery was clear, precise, and efficient. "Profits are up five percent from last quarter, and ten percent year-over-year," she summarized. Sebastian reviewed the report carefully, nodding in satisfaction. Then, he instructed, "Reserve our usual table. I want a private chef. Tonight, I'll celebrate with Anna..." He paused mid-sentence, a shadow crossing his expression: Anastasia had blocked him for a whole day, disappearing from his world completely. She used to be so lively, especially during Skycrest Corporation's financial report days. Early in the morning, she would message him to ask if he had arrived at the office, and in the afternoon, she would even come by in person to check on things. If the results were up, they would celebrate with a private chef dinner after work. If the results were down, she would still smile and reassure him that ups and downs are normal in business and that he was already doing an excellent job. 2/3 +8 Pearls 2:07 pm DDDD.
