The Bound Between Us

Chapter 172

Anastasia looked over generously.

“Just what I need to boost my appetite.” Anastasia sat down, pushing the omelette and baked beans towards Herman Salstrom.

Breakfast was milk, paired with an omelette and baked beans, a very typical breakfast.

Anastasia was used to eating like this, and Herman was never picky, so she often cooked this.

Anastasia suddenly said, “Did you know that the CEO of Elysian Technologies got hitched?”

“I heard” Herman felt a bit nervous, “How did you find out?”

Only insiders knew he got married, and he hadn’t let slip a single word about who his spouse was. Anastasia wasn’t an insider, so there was no way she could know.

In the current situation, Herman wouldn’t let any information about Anastasia leak out, let alone allow the media to freely report on her. Any rumors about him wouldn’t make it onto the internet.

“I heard from a friend of Lauren, who is my colleague. Who would’ve thought Lauren is actually the daughter of the Mill family, she used to have a big crush on the CEO of Elysian Technologies When she heard he got married, she was heartbroken. I promised her I’d introduce her to some hotties, only then did she calm down.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Anastasia didn’t mention she attended the party, to avoid trouble. There were many talented young people at the party who asked her for her contact details, if Herman pressed on, it would lead to unnecessary trouble.

Anastasia said, “What do you think about introducing her to your cousin? I think they would make a good match. Lauren is a rich heiress.”

Herman almost choked on his milk. “Anastasia, it’s best not to go around playing matchmaker. They’re not a good fit and my cousin seems to have a girlfriend already”

Lauren from Mill’s Seasoning, Herman had some impression of lier. He had heard Flynn complain about her a few times. She was a person who loved romance, and they would fight whenever they met. If Lauren was introduced to Flynn, his identity would be exposed.

Herman didn’t know before that the Mill family’s daughter had joined the jewelry company under Elysian Technologies, and only found

out now.

“In that case, never mind,” Anastasia said regretfully “But it’s quite a surprise that the CEO of Elysian Technologies got married so young. Do you think he might regret it? There were no rumors of him dating before and then all of a sudden, he got married. The wife of his must also be a rich heiress from a prominent family, right?”

Everyone at the party last night was guessing along those lines.

“Married at such a young age?” Herman chuckled. “He is already thirty, is that still young? His peers probably already have kids in grade school.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Anastasia laughed. “Anyway, we don’t understand the world of the rich, but now that you mention it, I feel like we’re a bit late too.”

“We could have two kids in three years, or have twins, which would instantly increase the birth rate”

Anastasia laughed. “Do you think I’m a pig or something? How about you give birth instead?”

The news of the CEO of Elysian Technologies secret marriage wasn’t really a secret anymore. After Herman showed off his engagement ring, many people were wondering what kind of woman his wife was, to be able to win over Riverdale’s most eligible bachelor.

Selena, a woman who got fired from the company, also heard the news from others. Selena had a wide social circle, and she was in touch with rich heiresses, so she found out about the news quickly. When she heard that the CEO of Elysian Technologies got married, Selena was shocked at first, then she broke into laughter.

Since the CED already had a wife, then what was Anastasia’s role? She must’ve been either a mistress or a home wrecker.

Victor said that Anastasia had the support of the CEO and warned her not to spread the news around to avoid trouble. This secretive behavior was obviously to hide the fact that Anastasia was the other woman.

Thinking of this, Selena was in high spirits. She originally thought Anastasia was a capable woman, but it turned out she was just another beauty who played the other woman.

Mistresses of the rich like Anastasia usually had a short period of favor. Even if she had some skills, her man wouldn’t truly have deep feelings for her, it was just a fling. Once Anastasia fell out of favor, dealing with someone like her would be a piece of cake.

Anastasia, unaware of Selena’s plans, had just driven to the office.

Just as she arrived, a colleague told her that Victor was looking for her and asked her to go to his office. Anastasia wondered, could it____ be about Selena getting fired?

She had heard before that Selena and Victor were on good terms, and she wasn’t sure if Herman and Victor’s relationship could help her dodge this bullet.

Anastasia took a sip of water, steadying her nerves, then headed to the general manager’s office.

Anastasia knocked and said, “Mr. Victor”

“Ms. Jewell, you’re here.” Victor rose enthusiastically, saying, “Please, have a seat.”

Victor had also heard some rumors from the party, but his view was completely different from Selena’s.

Herman was so protective of Anastasia, on one hand, keeping their marriage under wraps, and on the other hand, he was taking care of her. Wasn’t that him looking out for her in the shadows?

In other words, Anastasia was Herman’s missus.
