The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 

Ms. Katelyn, how come you know so much about Herman’s childhood?” Anastasia asked with a puzzled expression. 

Katelyn suddenly felt a surge of nervousness, realizing she had blabbered too much. 

With an awkward laugh, Katelyn explained, “Oh, it’s all from chats I had with Herman’s mom. You know how it is when women get together, we just can’t stop yapping about our kids. That’s how I know so much” 

“Ah, gotcha “Anastasia found the explanation reasonable. 

Seizing the opportunity, Katelyn nudged, “Ana, you and Herman should think about having a kid of your own. Everything changes once you have a child, men tend to become more tied to the family, and feel more responsible.” 

Considering she and Herman were still sleeping in separate rooms, Anastasia didn’t feel the rush to have a baby. 

“Ms. Katelyn, I know you mean well, but we don’t want to rush things,” Anastasia replied. 

Katelyn bluntly asked, “Are you two still sleeping in separate rooms?” 

The question made Anastasia a bit awkward. 

Holding Anastasia’s hand, Katelyn said with seriousness, Ana, Herman’s a good catch, you should hold onto him tight. Men of the Salstrom family are super loyal in marriage. As long as you and Herman are solid, you’ll have a good life ahead. I only see you as Herman’s wife.” 

Anastasia felt moved by Katelyn’s approval 

“Ms. Katelyn, I…” Anastasia was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang. 

She quickly washed her hands and answered the call. 

It was from Elysian Technologies HR department, “Is this Ms. Anastasia? This is HR from Elysian Technologies. Congratulations, you’ve passed the interview. Please bring your medical report and come for the onboarding process as soon as possible.” 

The news left Anastasia somewhat dazed. After verifying the caller’s identity, she kept thanking them on the phone. 

After hanging up, she was still in a bit of a daze. 

“Ana, what happened?” Katelyn asked curiously. 

“Ms. Katelyn, I passed the interview. Elysian Technologies just called me to complete the hiring process.” Anastasia slapped her face and said, “I really made it. I thought I had no chance.” 

She had been humiliated by the interviewer during the interview and had lost hope. 

This call was definitely a pleasant surprise for her. 

“Really?” Katelyn was delighted to hear that Anastasia was joining their family business. It seemed Anastasia still held a significant place in her sons heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been arranged to join the family’s company 

Anastasia quickly shared this good news with Herman and also texted Monica. 

Everyone but Anastasia knew this was a sure thing and hence weren’t surprised. 

Upon hearing Anastasia had to get a medical check–up the next day, Monica got a bit nervous and offered to accompany Anastasia to the hospital. 

Meanwhile, Herman had dinner plan that evening. He texted Anastasia to have dinner alone without waiting for him. 

Anastasia and Katelyn made a lot of dishes. Hearing Herman wasn’t coming home for dinner, she felt a bit down, 

But Anastasia didn’t show it. Knowing Herman was busy, she and Katelyn had dinner and watched TV together until 10 pm when Katelyn went back to her place 

Herman didn’t come home until 11 pm. By the time he got back, Anastasia was already asleep.
