The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

Julie sneered, “Herman’s just killing time with her. That woman doesn’t have a clue about who Herman really is. Obviously, Herman’s keeping it a secret to give himself some cover. He’s just hanging out with her to pass the time. Once the novelty wears off, she’ll be tossed aside.” 

Collin shook his head, laughing. You really don’t get guys, do you?” 

Julie looked sour, ‘How can a woman like that be good enough for Herman? How can she become the lady of the Salstrom family?” 

“Whether she’s good enough or not isn’t for you to decide, but Herman’s decision, Collin stood up, smirking, “Anyway, I’ve already committed to being the best man.” 

Collin took a few steps away, then added, “By the way, a man like Herman doesn’t need his partner to add any extra sparkle to his economic power. He can make any choice he wants as long as it comes from the heart and it’s someone he really likes. The more pure hearted the woman, the more likable she is.” 

When someone was on top and living in the cutthroat world of business, socializing can be draining. At times like these, they longed for someone simpler. 

Anastasia was that kind of woman. And Collin noticed during dinner that while it seemed Herman was always looking after Anastasia, she was also looking after him, worrying about him over little things. 

Julie snorted, “Well, we ll see how long their relationship lasts. Maybe that woman’s just putting on a show. She’s just a good actress.” 

Collin didn’t respond. Instead, he asked, “Did you notice when Anastasia was serving food to Herman, she specifically picked out the cilantro? Do you know why she did that?” 

Julie hadn’t noticed, and she didn’t know why 

She asked subconsciously, “Why?” 

Collin just chuckled, not answering 

Julie had always claimed to love Herman The Brown family and the Salstrom family had some connections, and this wasn’t their first time dining together. But she didn’t even know that Herman was allergic to cilantro. 

Anastasia and Herman left Collins private-dish restaurant and went to a private cinema 

Learning from their previous experience, Herman made full preparations this time. He chose a private cinema room where they could lie on a big bed to watch movies 

This seemed to be designed specifically for couples 

Anastasia held a bucket of popcorn, looked at the big bed in front of her, then at the huge screen. 

“Herman, how did you find out about this cinema?” 

This didnt seem like watching a movie, more like laying down to rest. If they were watching a movie with explicit scenes, it would be 

Herman said earnestly, “I stumbled upon this cinema while reading reviews online. The reviews were good, so I chose it. Shall we start the movie now?” 

“What movie did you choose?” Anastasia wanted to decide whether to watch based on the type of movie. 

Herman took out two movie tickets, saying, “It’s an action crime documentary, with elements of suspense.” 

Anastasia nodded, “Sounds good, should be exciting. 

As long as it wasn’t a romance like last time, she was worried Herman would make a move on the spot. 

The lights in the movie room were dim, and they started watching the movie lying on the bed, Herman had his arm around Anastasia, and Anastasia was nestled in Herman’s arms. 

The first half of the movie was okay, but the second half started to deviate. Despite being a crime documentary, the suggestive scenes were more exciting than the movie they watched last time. 

When the suggestive scenes appeared, Anastasia’s heartbeat quickened. She felt someone’s hand starting to wander around her waist. 

Anastasia pretended to be calm, not responding, but Herman’s behavior became more and more excessive, even reaching inside her clothes 

In the end, the movie ended, but Anastasia didn’t see the ending. 

When they left the cinema, Anastasia’s cheeks were still flushed from embarrassment. She glared at Herman, then said, “I have to go to the bathroom,” 

Herman said contentedly. “I’ll wait for you at the door”
