In Chapter 115 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 115 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Anastasia suggested that Selena should leave first, then she would go to the company.
But Selena stubbornly waited at the door.
Anastasia had no choice but to go to the study to confirm with Herman first: "Our company's chief designer Selena is waiting at the door. She came to pick me up for work, have you contacted our Mr. Victor?"
"Yes." Herman calmly replied, "I made a call last night. Also, about the Lunsford family, we don't need to work for them. As members of Elysian Technologies, we should have our own dignity. We shouldn't compromise ourselves because of their social status."
This wasn't merely a mention, it almost felt like a command.
Anastasia hugged Herman's neck with gratitude: "Herman, you're my lucky star, I just remembered, did you put in a good word for me during my interview?"
If she was successful in the interview because of her own abilities, Anastasia would be very happy.
But if she succeeded because of Herman's connections, she would feel very disappointed.
Because that would mean, she wasn't hired because of her talent, but because of Herman.
What if she lost Herman one day?
Herman knew what she was thinking, so he affectionately pinched her face and said, "I'm not that influential. I didn't discuss your interview with Mr. Victor. The reason I contacted Mr. Victor this time is because you didn't do anything wrong. The company shouldn't fire you. Selena is just getting personal."
Anastasia looked at Herman for a while, then finally accepted his words.
"I think I'm on a roll recently, maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. By the way, the Ledford family's business suddenly went bankrupt, it's strange, such a big business, just went under like that."
"The bigger the business is, the greater the risk it carries. If mismanaged or investments fail, it's highly possible for it to collapse overnight." Herman patiently explained, "That is why they say business is like a battlefield."
Although Anastasia didn't quite understand, she still asked, "Do you think a company as big as Elysian Technologies could go bankrupt one day?"
Herman laughed and thought: this silly girl, actually hoping his company would go bankrupt?
He said, "For now, it shouldn't. But business is unpredictable, I can't make any guarantees."
"I see." Anastasia said, "I'll go change my clothes then go back to the company with Selena."
"Okay."
Herman didn't tell Anastasia that he took three days off for her, "Selena and you have a conflict, do you need me to talk to Victor to adjust your positions?"
"No need." Anastasia said, "Selena doesn't like me, that's because I'm not competent enough. I can understand, she's worked hard to get to the position of chief designer, and I only have a high school diploma and became her subordinate, it's hard for her to accept. But don't worry, I'll make her change her mind about me."
"Okay." Seeing the confidence emanating from Anastasia, Herman knew that her mental resilience wasn't as weak as he thought.
