Clutching her simple leather portfolio in one hand, she took a deep breath and stepped through the doors of the vast company, her heels clicking against the marble floor.After a brief exchange with the receptionist, she was directed to the top floor. As the elevator ascended, she took another steadying breath.

When the doors slid open, she was greeted by another assistant who led her through the sleek, modern office space. Everything was glass, chrome, and polished wood. She could feel the weight of the company’s success in every detail. But she couldn’t let herself be intimidated.

The assistant gave her a polite smile before disappearing, leaving Anastasia alone to face the man behind the name. Without hesitation, she knocked once and pushed open the heavy door.

Inside, the office was vast, with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased the sprawling city below. Sitting behind a minimalist desk was the man she had heard so much about but had never expected to meet so soon in her career.

Anastasia held his gaze, her chin slightly raised as she stepped forward, extending her hand. she greeted him confidently, her voice steady.

“Anastasia Steele, Thank you for seeing me today sir.”
