“Do you need to go back to the company?” Elsa asked when she looked at Amanda with questioning eyes.
Amanda gave her a questioning look in return but did not bother replying to the question.
“Okay, there is no need for you to give me that look, Miss Anderson. All I was asking was whether it is urgent for you to go back,” Elsa said, making Amanda divert her gaze from her and look at the front.
“I really need to go back. They are surely waiting for me. I gave them a half an hour's break to rest so that we could start reviewing the drafts but since you came, I left the company. Do you understand what I am trying to say? I made them see me as an unreliable boss as soon as I took over the company,” Amanda replied, making Elsa look down.
“But I can see why you have to start working immediately after taking over. Can’t you rest and also give the employees a little break so that when they come back they can start working extra hard?” Elsa asked without looking at Amanda.
Although Amanda was her best friend, she had changed and become extremely colder. Colder than her big sister, Ariana thus Elsa was afraid of her just as she was afraid of all the Andersons.
“No. Damien is a real jerk. Maybe I should even call him a bastard. Do you want me to give him time to rest? No! The battle began the time my flight landed in this city thus I have no time to rest. I will rest when I see all of my foes defeated and on their knees begging for my mercies. If it was just about me, I would have given him some time to rest but since he decided to include you and your family in his so-called revenge I have the right to retaliate,” Amanda said coldly making Elsa feel a shiver down her spine but at the same time, she was touched to know that Amanda was doing all these for her.
When Amanda left, Elsa had tried reaching out to her but it was unsuccessful. At that time, she had thought that Amanda felt that she wasn’t worth it after seeing how rich her family was and getting to ladies of their age who were from the same circle as her family. Even when her family was being oppressed and they didn’t hear anything from Amanda, she and her family opted to have hope and believe that she would turn up. They believed that she was not a person to be carried away by wealth.
Now seeing how determined Amanda was, she felt lucky and also guilty when she recalled how many times she had wanted to give up.
“Okay but let me know when you need my help,” Elsa said as she knew nothing else could change Amanda’s mind. Also, if she continued to persist on it, she might make her angry and she didn’t want that as it was their first time meeting after so long.
After less than an hour of driving, they reached the company.
Elsa was shocked when she saw some furniture that was in Amanda’s office being brought out.
“Mandy, what's going on?” she asked; to her, the furniture was still in good condition.
“I need some change since I wasn’t comfortable with them,” Amanda answered as she shrugged.
“What do you mean that you weren’t comfortable?”
“I am so picky. They aren’t to my taste so I had to get a change. Also, it reminds me that this company has been collapsing. I don’t need negative vibes around me. Actually, thank you for reminding me that,” Amanda said with a smile on her face when glancing at Elsa.
She turned around and walked to the person who looked as if she was in charge of the new furniture.
“Excuse me. Have you replaced everything on the top floor?” she asked.
“Yes, Miss Anderson,” the woman answered.
“Good. I am going to give you an order. I need every piece of furniture in this company to be replaced. Everything that is old should be taken out and replaced with new and the most expensive furniture,” Amanda said, shocking the woman and Elsa who was standing beside her.
“What? Mandy, are you being serious? Everything in here is in good condition, there is no need to do that,” Elsa said, making the woman nod her head.
Even this was a big order to them since they will make more than what they make in a year. She felt that that wasn’t necessary.
“To me, there is a need. Elsa, I have changed. I am picky about everything! If anything doesn’t make me happy then I will get rid of it immediately. Also, since I have money, I can use it anyhow I want,” Amanda told her.
“But that will be a waste of money. What if the money given to you by your parents ends?” Elsa asked as she worried.
She had witnessed Amanda using more than fifty million in a flash and she was about to use triple that amount because of pettiness. Of course, she would not let her have her way.
“I can and I will. Sorry, but I don’t want to sound rude,” Amanda said apologetically.
“If it ends then I will just call my brothers and sister to send some to me,” Amanda said, making Elsa sigh.
Seeing the reaction on Elsa’s face, Amanda knew that she wouldn’t get to the end of this matter till she did what her bestie wanted, thus she took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Adrian,” she said pitifully as she put it on speaker.
“What’s wrong, little troublemaker?” Adrian asked with a frown on his face on the other side.
He was in a meeting when he received the call. Seeing who it was, he answered it, shocking the directors in the meeting.
“I want to change every piece of furniture in this company. Do you think I am being a spendthrift by doing so?”
Adrian remained silent as he knew that there had to be a reason for her to consult him when doing something because she always does whatever her mind tells her to do.
“Why ask?” he asked instead of giving her an answer so that he could find out what was happening on the other end.
“I am afraid that I will finish my money by doing so,” Amanda said in a low tone making Adrian chuckle as he knew that she was trying to get money from him.
