Chapter 2 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.
Seeing that Anastasia was really leaving, Herman reminded her, "Shouldn't we exchange contact info? How am I gonna catch you later?"
Anastasia was a bit embarrassed as this had totally slipped her mind. She quickly pulled out her mobile, and they added each other on WhatsApp.
Herman also gave Anastasia his phone number, saying, "Call me if anything comes up." This was his personal line.
"Mm." Anastasia glanced at Herman's phone from the corner of her eye; he had saved her name as 'my wife'.
Seeing this nickname, Anastasia felt a strange sensation. Was she a married woman now?
She was going to simply save his contact as his name, but seeing how Herman saved hers as 'wife,' she hesitated for a moment, then saved him as 'my Mr. Salstrom'.
As Herman was about to offer her a lift, his phone rang. Changing what he was about to say, he said, "Be careful on the road."
Anastasia didn't want to disturb him any further, so she hailed a cab and left.
Herman watched as Anastasia drove away. After a while, a Rolls Royce pulled up beside him, and a man in the car rolled down the window.
"Herman, weren't you supposed to meet me at the cafe? Why did you come here? You've been ignoring my calls. You have a contract signing at Crescent Bay at 6. The flight's booked for 4 this afternoon. We'll miss it if we don't get moving."
The man talking was Herman's younger brother, Flynn.
"I had some business to take care of." Herman got in the car, his voice a bit deep. "Let's head to the airport now."
Flynn started the car, casually asking, "What business were you taking care of?"
