The Bound Between Us

Chapter 166

Lauren was gobsmacked. Her dream guy got hitched?

Lauren approached a group of women chattering away and asked, “Who just got married?”

“The CEO of Elysian Technologies, Mr. Salstrom,” one of them replied. “Mr. Salstrom himself said so. He’s wearing a wedding band. It’s

legit.”

Lauren froze momentarily, then reached out to Anastasia. “Anastasia, hug me, I feel like the world is ending.”

Anastasia chuckled at Lauren’s dramatic reaction. “Are you seriously that affected?”

“He’s my dream guy, and his abs now belong to someone else,” Lauren said with a hand over her heart. “Some other woman can touch his abs now, it hurts just thinking about it.”

Then, Lauren turned to the other women. “Did Mrs. Salstrom come? What does she look like? What’s her name? When did they get

mamed?”

Lauren seemed to have a million questions,

The women were all stumped. One of them said, “Mr. Salstrom is just wearing a wedding band, and he’s just indicating that he’s married. As for who his wife is, nobody knows. Mr. Salstrom keeps his wife under wraps.”

“They’re right, it’s so enviable. Even at work, Mr. Salstrom doesn’t forget about his wife.”

“Some people really don’t know when to quit. Even after Mr. Salstrom made it clear he’s married, they still try to get close to him.”

*Maybe it’s because of all the clueless women that Mr. Salstrom had no choice but to use his wife as a shield.”

“Such a good man is hard to come by these days.”

They all started speculating about who Mrs. Salstrom could be.

Anastasia, as an outsider, felt a pang of envy even though she’d never met Mr. Salstrom or Mrs. Salstrom. In this world of the rich and famous, such love stories were truly priceless.

Lauren seemed to have given up entirely, she slumped into a seat in the rest area. ‘Anastasia, I’ve lost my pillar of strength. Go enjoy yourself.”

Anastasia sat down beside her with a laugh, “I have to stay with you. You lost this dream guy, just find another one.”

Lauren sighed, “Good men are so rare. Like Mr. Salstrom, they’re one in a million. I wonder what kind of luck Mrs. Salstrom has to land such a great man.”

Anastasia chuckled. “There are plenty of good men out there, you just have to meet the right one.”

“You met the right one so easily. I wish I could do the same.” Lauren glared at Anastasia. “Why don’t you get your husband to introduce me to a guy? I want a handsome one with a six-pack.”

“Sure, no problem.” Anastasia thought of Flynn, who was indeed handsome and a perfect match for Lauren. “My husband has a cousin who’s really good-looking. I’m not sure if he has a six-pack because I can’t just go around lifting people’s shirts, but he’s definitely fit. About the same as my husband.”

“There’s really such a guy?” Lauren’s eyes sparkled. “You have to introduce him to me.”

“Ok, I’ll ask him.” Anastasia said with a smile. “Feeling better now?”

“Much better,” Lauren said, patting her chest with newfound energy. “Come on, I’ll introduce you to my friends.”

It was only then that Anastasia found out Lauren’s true identity – the second daughter of Mill’s Seasoning, a company that produced condiments including famous brands of vinegar, black pepper, curry powder, and so much more.

Lauren introduced Anastasia to her friends. Anastasia, with her beauty, sweet voice and understanding of nature and knowledge of jewelry, quickly hit it off with these rich girls.

She also managed to secure a few orders from them.

Blake avoided Anastasia all night; wherever she was, he was not

Collin and his friends also left the party for a while, and Julie, embarrassed by Herman’s words, left early too.

Anastasia, with her striking beauty, quickly became the center of attention at the party. Numerous business elites and noble sons seized the opportunity to get Anastasia’s contact information.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
