The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 

Anastasia didn’t want to drg too deep. She had been around the block at work and seen colleagues pretend they were big shots during negotiations 

because they didn’t have the clout 

Most clients would politely refer to them in such a way when meeting for the first time, partly to show respect and partly to get closer to them. 

Anastasia and Herman had been living together for quite some time, but she always saw him as a regular Joe, a guy who didn’t even own a house and didn’t have much in his bank account. 

She never in a million years thought that her hubby would turn out to be the CEO of Elysian Technologies, who’s worth a whopping hundred billion 

“Got it,” Anastasia didn’t ask further, just said, “Take a look and see what you want to order I’ve already ordered a couple of dishes.” 

Let me see Herman took a look at the menu and ordered two more dishes, one of which was an extravagant dessert. She had never tasted such luxury before 

Anastasia wanted to object but didn’t want to let him down, so she held her tongue 

Herman told the waiter. That’s all, thank you,” 

“Sure, just a moment please, the waiter left. 

Herman poured Anastasia a glass of lemon water and said, “I bought two movie tickets, we can go after dinner” 

“Uh? Sure” Anastasia was a bit thrown off by Herman’s sudden kindness. 

First dinner, then a movie. This felt like a date 

Was Herman taking her on a date?

“Anastasia,” Herman said calmly. This is my first marriage and my first relationship. There might be things I don’t understand, or things that make you uncomfortable. You can tell me and we can work it out.” 

Anastasia laughed, “It’s not like writing code for a program. 

She thought Herman was quite funny sometimes. 

Herman looked at her coolly. Anastasia was beautiful when she laughed, like spring sunshine, warm and comforting. 

Feeling a little awkward under his gaze, she looked away and asked, “What kind of movie is it?” 

“A romance.” Herman wasn’t much of a movie buff, the tickets were actually bought by Flynn. 

The movie idea was Flynn’s too. 

Flynn had given him a lot of suggestions, like giving flowers, going to a movie, having a candlelit dinner, giving gifts, sweet talking. 

He said these tricks would win her over easily. 

No girl could resist romance, and “I love you” was the ultimate weapon. Any girl who fell for it would be smitten. 

Anastasia picked up her glass and took a sip. I haven’t seen a movie in years.” 

The last time was when Monica dragged her to one, years ago 

Herman confessed, “I havent either” 

Anastasia laughed, “If you said you had, I would’ve been shocked.” 

If a guy who never had an ex-girlfriend said he had been to a romance movie before, wouldn’t that be a shocker?
