The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 40

As Herman was lost in the memory of that dream, Flynn shot him another message: "Dude, you've been sleeping in the other room. You think my sis-in-law might get the wrong idea?"

Would Anastasia really misunderstand? Herman recalled her reaction earlier.

A few minutes later.

For some reason, he found himself standing outside Anastasia's room. He wanted to knock a few times but ultimately held back.

The next day.

Herman heard Anastasia getting up in her room, so he got up too.

"Good morning."

Herman greeted her warmly.

"Good morning." Anastasia didn't seem to care. She just smiled and walked straight to the kitchen to make breakfast, business as usual.

Herman wanted to say more, but he didn't get the chance. He picked up his cup and purposely went to the water cooler to fill it up.

The water cooler was right at the kitchen door. As Herman filled his cup, he sneaked a glance at Anastasia.

She was cutting tomatoes with toast on the side, apparently getting ready to make sandwiches.

Anastasia didn't notice Herman's actions. He took his cup to the living room, and after a while, he went back to the water cooler to fill it up again.

He did this three times, but Anastasia didn't notice.

Herman gave up. He went to the kitchen door and asked, "Did you get everything ready for your interview today?"

Anastasia, who was making the plate, was startled by Herman's voice.

She steadied herself and asked, "Uh, yes, everything's ready. Is something up?"

"No, just asking." Herman seemed a bit uncomfortable. He pretended to drink water and then went back to the living room.

The house was small, with an open kitchen and living room. As long as Herman didn't go back to his room, Anastasia could see him from the kitchen.

Only the president's elevator could freely reach every floor, the others could not.

The interview was scheduled for two in the afternoon. Herman didn't go to the company in the morning, but at one o'clock he drove Anastasia to Elysian Tower A for her interview.

As Anastasia got out of the car, Herman told her, "Good luck with your interview."

Anastasia clenched her fist, "I can do it."

They shared a smile, and Anastasia turned to enter the building while Herman drove into the underground parking lot. From there, he took the president's elevator straight to the president's office on the top floor.

When Nelson, the president's secretary, saw Herman, he respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Salstrom."

Herman's voice was clear, "Today the Jewelry Design Department is recruiting. You go supervise the interview."

"I understand, Mr. Salstrom." As Herman's right-hand man, Nelson, of course, knew what to do.

The president's wife of Elysian Technologies was participating in an interview. She couldn't be eliminated by some ignorant person, nor could Herman's identity be exposed, so it was up to Nelson to handle it.
