The Bound Between Us

Chapter 78

Anastasia kept her mouth shut, then forced herself to keep calm. “I got so hammered last night that I cant remember a thing. What happened?”

Anastasia feigned confusion.

Herman chuckled lightly squeezed her hand, and said regretfully, “What a pity”

Anastasia struggled to find a response

As they reached the car, Herman opened the door for her, “We’re running late.”

Anastasia started to panic

“Let’s hurry then, my boss is a real dragon lady if I’m late, she’s gonna chew me out.”

Herman started the car and asked casually following her complaint. “Does Selena treat you badly?”

Realizing she had misspoken, Anastasia quickly denied it, “No, not at all. I’m just a newbie, and there’s a lot I don’t understand. She’s just guiding me, everyone at the company is super nice”

She always chose to share the good news and keep the bad news to herself

How could Herman not know what was going on with Anastasia at work?

Victor, the branch manager who was planted at her side to keep an eye on things for him, had also informed him about the argument between Anastasia and Selena yesterday

Herman didnt intervene because the timing wasn’t right and overprotecting Anastasia might do more harm than good.

Besides, Anastasias performance didn’t disappoint him.

“That’s good Herman said. “If you ever feel wronged or need any help, come and tell me. I’ll sort it out for you?

Anastasia blushed as she remembered how she was acting all cute and clingy to Herman last night, “Okay”

With Hermans reassurance, Anastasia felt very secure.

As the car moved on, Anastasia lamented. We really only need one car. The last car we bought was a bit of a waste. Parking fees, insurance, it all adds Up.”

Since Herman had been driving her to and from work, the new car had just been sitting there, wasted. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“I might have to go on a business trip soon. You can drive to work by yoursell then I have a dinner appointment tonight as well, so I might not be able to pick you up You might have to catch a cab home.”

“How many days will you be gone? Where are you going? When will you be back?” Anastasia asked without thinking.

It sounded like a wife questioning her husband’s whereabouts.

Herman laughed, “I just said maybe. If I need to go, let you know in advance and keep you in the loop.”

1 was just asking”

Anastasia looked away. She felt a bit embarrassed and fell silent.

They arrived at her office just in time; Anastasia didn’t bother to say goodbye to Herman and hurried into the office building

She managed to clock in at the last few seconds

Herman’s car stayed parked below, he was not in a rush to leave. He ordered breakfast for Anastasia before finally leaving

Elysian Technologies.

Flynn, driving his newly bought Ferrari, bumped into Herman at the parking lot entrance.

At first, Flynn didn’t recognize him until he saw the license plate.

It was his brother who always played poor.

The two brothers drove their cars into the underground garage. After parking. Flynn got out of the car and jokingly asked, “Bro, how does it feel to drive a Chevy?”

Herman tossed his car keys to Flynn, “Why don’t you give it a try?”

Flynn caught the keys reflexively, laughing. If I drive this car, I won’t be able to pick up any girls. Not every girl is like your wife, who doesn’t care about wealth.”

Herman didn’t respond and headed to the private elevator.

Flynn cheerfully followed, “Now that you drive a Chevy every day, the Rolls Royce at home is sitting idle. How about lending it to me for a few days?”

Herman flatly refused. “Neither my car nor my wife are for lending.”

“Herman, you have so many cars in your garage, you wouldn’t miss one.”

Herman stood his ground

Flynn changed his strategy saying mysteriously. “Mam called me last night; there’s news. Wanna know?”

“No’peed” Herman said, “She’s planning my wedding with Anastasia’

Flynn apked at Herman in surprise, “How did you know? She said it was a secret.”

Herman glanced at Flynn. His look seemed to say, what secrets could there be in a family?

Flynn sighed in disappointment, “You’re so dull, Herman. No wonder you haven’t conquered your wife yet”

Herman raised an eyebrow, “How do you know I havent?”

After hearing this, Flynn looked at him in surprise, “Could it be… you ve already succeeded?”
