The Bound Between Us

Chapter 25

Monica joked, “Ana, you really don’t give a damn about your hubby huh? By the way, he wasn’t ticked off about the thing at the reunion, was he?”

After Anastasia left the reunion, Monica also bounced right away

“Nah” Anastasia answered. It’s rare for something to ruffle his leathers”

As they spent more time together, Anastasia gradually got the hang of this.

Monica said. “Cason is pretty tough, too, but let s move past that*

She initially wanted to play Cupid with them, but now that Anastasia was already hitched. It didn’t seem quite right.

“Monica, why don’t you go hang with your friends. Il find somewhere to chill” Anastasia wasn’t really a fan of these scenes.

“Alright then, you find a spot to sit, I’ll go mingle with rny friends. If you’re not feeling it, we can take off together”

“Cool” Anastasia found a quiet corner to sit. Yhe service was top–notch, as soon as she sat down, a waiter came over with a selection of drinks.

Anastasia opted for a bottle of water, uncertain whether the drinks were on the house. If they weren’t, in such a swanky place, even a bottle of water could cost an arm and a leg.

Anastasia took a seat by the window. The view opened up to a golf course outside, the lawn was green, and a bunch of high-rollers were gathered there.

This lifestyle was just too over–the–top for her..

Anastasia pulled her gaze back, took out her phone, and texted Herman. [Have you eaten yet?)

She was worried Herman had been too engrossed in work at home and had forgotten to eat.

Herman was a programmer in the R&D department, under constant high pressure. Anastasia imagined Herman going bald from being a programmer for so long, the image was rather odd

While Anastasia was worried about Herman not having lunch, she had no idea that Herman was only a few hundred meters away from her.

At that moment, Herman was at the club’s second floor, invited by a friend for a round of golf. He accidentally let slip that he was there, and now the club was swarming with socialites, giving him a headache.

Herman’s phone chimed with a new message He took out his phone, his expression softened upon seeing the message

His friend, Collin Witt, strolled over, joking, “Who’s the hottie that’s got you beaming?”

Collin was the heir to the Witt family of Riverdale, having known Herman for several years.

Herman quickly replied. [Already ate.], then pocketed his phone, telling Collin, “Let’s play just one more round of golf, I’ve got stuff to do in the afternoon, gotta dash”

Anastasia had work at 5 p.m., so he’d have to head back soon.

“It took me a lot to come back from abroad, and you’re already itching to leave, what a bummer. Drinks tonight? Whatever you’ve got on, you can blow it off” Collin said. “I’ve already made reservations for tonight, let’s go have a drink,”

“Can’t blow it off Herman gave Collin a pat on the shoulder. “Let’s catch up another day”

Collin was a bit taken aback, as far as he knew, if Herman wanted to dodge something, there was nothing he couldn’t get out of

This made him all the more curious, recalling the expression on Herman’s face when he was checking his phone, he asked, “The one who asked you out,

is she a babe?”

Herman nodded

“Well, this is something you don’t see every day” Collin said excitedly “Is it some noble lady? Do I know her?”

Herman’s voice was deep. “You don’t know her, I’ll introduce her to you when the time comes.”

Collin looked at him for a bit, then sighed, “You only care about babes, not friends.”

Herman only played one last round of pool, then he split.

Girls were waiting for him at every exit, hoping for a chance encounter with Herman. Feeling helpless, Herman had to ask his bodyguard to clear the way so he could make a quick exit.

Monica said hi to her friends, just as she was about to leave, there was a commotion up front.

“The CEO of Elysian Technologies is here”

Girls started to scream

Many girls moved up front, and Monica’s friends also hurriedly followed.

Out of curiosity. Monica joined them. They were about ten meters away from Herman, who was stepping out of the elevator under the protection of his bodyguard

Monica stood on her tiptoes, and instantly spotted Herman up front, she was gobsmacked.

She thought of Herman working for Elysian Technologies, so if the CEO of Elysian Technologies was here, Herman might be too. At first, she didn’t think This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

of Herman as the CEO of Elysian Technologies, and she asked her friend, “Where’s the CEO of Elysian Technologies?”

Her friend said, “The one in the white t–shirt is the CEO of Elysian Technologies, Herman”

“What? Herman?”

Monica was thunderstruck.

Suddenly, she remembered why the name Herman sounded familiar. She heard it from her friends.

Even though Monica came from a humble background, since she was sociable and owned a beauty salon, she had some well–connected friends.

Was Herman the CEO of Elysian Technologies?

Monica couldn’t believe it, so she asked her friend again to confirm, by the time she looked again, Herman had already left under the escort of his

bodyguard.

The place was crowded, so Herman left in a hurry, not noticing Monica in the crowd.

When the crowd dispersed, Monica snapped back to reality, quickly said goodbye to her friend, and then hurried off to find Anastasia.
