The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 570

Anastasia was the gold standard in Monica's world, and Jason was starting to see why.

"So, I heard you played matchmaker for Anastasia and Herman. Is that true?"

"Kind of," Monica chuckled. "It was about timing too. Ana's been through enough; she deserves some happiness. Jason, you have to keep an eye on Julie. We can't let her ruin the wedding."

"Don't worry, I got this."

As they chatted, Monica heard noises from outside. The office overlooked the training ground, where the soldiers often did their drills.

The sound was invigorating.

Monica couldn't help but rush to the window, practically drooling.

Each one shirtless, muscles glistening in the sun—it was enough to make anyone's mouth water.

"Damn, no wonder I can't find a boyfriend—they're all serving the country. So hot, so cool, young and strong... they're like the finest specimens of humanity," Monica mumbled to herself.

Jason, dryly: "Wipe your drool."

Monica, without thinking, wiped her mouth, only to realize she'd been caught: "What, are you jealous I'm checking out the eye candy?"

Jason retorted, "Those are the nation's pride and joy. Don't objectify them."

"How am I objectifying? I'm a young, eligible woman, thank you very much," Monica grinned cheekily. "Jason, be a dear and get me a number, will you? I've helped you out enough times. How about the hunk in the front row?"

Following her gaze to the training ground, Jason scoffed, "You've got good eyes—that's the police department's golden boy, and he's taken."

"No way. What about the second one? He's pretty handsome too. I guess I can settle for second best."

"That one..."

Monica cut him off: "Don't tell me he's taken too."

"He's not," Jason conceded.

Monica's spirits lifted, but before she could revel in it, Jason added, "He's engaged. Wedding's next month—I’ve got the invite on my desk."

"It figures, the good-looking ones are always snatched up first. Good men are in high demand, unlike the leftovers like you..."

Jason fixed her with a stare: "Uh-huh?"
