Chapter 259
Anastasia didn’t beat around the bush, “She said some confusing stuff, seems like you’re quite
popular.”
Herman eyed Anastasia’s reaction, “There’s nothing going on between her and me.” He needed to
make that clear ASAP, no messing around.
Flynn also chimed in, “Anastasia, I can vouch for my brother. He and that Julie, they don’t have any
relationship. She has no chance of becoming my sister-in-law.”
Did they just dig themselves into a deeper hole?
Anastasia nodded, “I knew it. Saw it coming last time.”
Herman gazed at.Anastasia, “What others want from me, that’s their business. I only have feelings for
you.”
Their two spectators were left speechless. Expressing affection didn’t have to make the single folks feel
awkward, did it?
Anastasia suddenly felt shy. He could save the sweet nothings for when they got home. In front of
others, her cheeks went crimson. Anastasia whispered bashfully, “I get it. You don’t have to lay it on so
thick.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeelings was a more real, moving word than love.
Herman glanced at Flynn and Collin. They were tactfully looking down at their food, trying to change
the subject.
Collin said, “The night looks great tonight.”
Flynn said, “I think it’s great too. Clear skies, bright moon, and twinkling stars.”
Before he finished, thunder boomed in the sky. It seemed even gods couldn’t stand these two talking
nonsense. The room only had one small window open, so how could they see clear skies, a bright
moon, and twinkling stars?
Anastasia couldn’t help but laugh. Collin and Flynn didn’t feel embarrassed. Collin raised his glass,
“Herman, Anastasia, here’s to you. May you be forever happy, and have
children soon.”
The forever happy part was nice, but the children part was a bit off. Collin didn’t know that Anastasia
couldn’t have children, and neither could Herman.
Flynn, seeing the situation go south, subtly kicked Collin as a hint to stop talking. Collin was confused
and didn’t catch on, “Flynn, why did you kick me?”
Flynn facepalmed instantly, Collin was really adding fuel to the fire. He couldn’t save the situation even
if he tried.
Flynn said, “Sorry, accidentally kicked you.”
Herman kept a straight face, as ignorance was bliss. Anastasia felt a bit awkward when she heard it,
but she knew Collin meant well and was sincerely wishing them well. She raised her glass and said,
“Thank you.”
Herman also raised his glass and downed his drink.
Worried Collin might say something else inappropriate, Flynn quickly said, “Let’s eat. I’m starving.
Anastasia, I heard from my brother that you’re going back to work, right?” Successfully changing the
subject, Flynn was pretty smart.
Anastasia said, “Yes, I plan to go back to work next week.”
Afterwards, they chatted leisurely. Herman consistently took care of Anastasia, making others green
with envy.
After dinner, the four of them left their private room and bumped into Lauren who was dining at the
same restaurant.
“Anastasia.” Lauren waved her hand, calling out excitedly as she ran over to Anastasia, “What a
coincidence, you’re here too.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, are you here with friends?” Anastasia glanced at the ladies standing not far away. She had seen
them at a previous cocktail party. Although she didn’t know them well, she recognized a few. Anastasia
looked at them and nodded in greeting.
The ladies were completely stunned because standing next to Anastasia were Herman, the CEO of
Elysian Technologies, Flynn, the vice president, and Collin, the heir to the Witt family.
Who exactly was Anastasia? Why were all these important figures around her? The last time Lauren
brought Anastasia to a cocktail party, didn’t she say Anastasia was just a jewelry designer?
Upon closer inspection, it seemed like the CEO of Elysian Technologies was holding hands with
Anastasia. This was shocking. Considering the rumors in the industry about the CEO of Elysian
Technologies being secretly married, could it be that Herman’s wife was Anastasia?
The ladies’ expressions were strange, making Anastasia feel puzzled. At that moment, they walked
over, hoping to get in touch with Herman through Anastasia.
This was a rare opportunity to meet the head of the Salstrom family, and since they had a connection
with Anastasia, they absolutely couldn’t miss the chance to chat up the head of the Salstrom family. If
Anastasia really was Herman’s wife, then they definitely needed to get on her good side.
“Ms. Jewell, what a coincidence. It’s been over two months since the last cocktail party, and we bump
into you here.” One of the ladies said with a smile, deliberately glancing at the wedding rings on
Anastasia and Herman’s hands. One look and it was clear, they were a pair. Anastasia was the head of
the Salstrom family, Herman’s wife.
