The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 25

Monica joked, "Ana, you really don't give a damn about your hubby, huh? By the way, he wasn't ticked off about the thing at the reunion, was he?"

After Anastasia left the reunion, Monica also bounced right away.

"Nah," Anastasia answered. "It's rare for something to ruffle his feathers."

As they spent more time together, Anastasia gradually got the hang of this.

Monica said, "Cason is pretty tough, too, but let's move past that."

She initially wanted to play Cupid with them, but now that Anastasia was already hitched. It didn't seem quite right.

"Monica, why don't you go hang with your friends, I'll find somewhere to chill." Anastasia wasn't really a fan of these scenes.

"Alright then, you find a spot to sit, I'll go mingle with my friends. If you're not feeling it, we can take off together."

"Cool." Anastasia found a quiet corner to sit. Yhe service was top-notch, as soon as she sat down, a waiter came over with a selection of drinks.

Anastasia opted for a bottle of water, uncertain whether the drinks were on the house. If they weren't, in such a swanky place, even a bottle of water could cost an arm and a leg.

Anastasia took a seat by the window. The view opened up to a golf course outside; the lawn was green, and a bunch of high-rollers were gathered there.

This lifestyle was just too over-the-top for her.

Anastasia pulled her gaze back, took out her phone, and texted Herman. [Have you eaten yet?]

She was worried Herman had been too engrossed in work at home and had forgotten to eat.

Herman was a programmer in the R&D department, under constant high pressure. Anastasia imagined Herman going bald from being a programmer for so long, the image was rather odd.

While Anastasia was worried about Herman not having lunch, she had no idea that Herman was only a few hundred meters away from her.

At that moment, Herman was at the club's second floor, invited by a friend for a round of golf. He accidentally let slip that he was there, and now the club was swarming with socialites, giving him a headache.

Herman's phone chimed with a new message. He took out his phone, his expression softened upon seeing the message.

His friend, Collin Witt, strolled over, joking, "Who's the hottie that's got you beaming?"

Collin was the heir to the Witt family of Riverdale, having known Herman for several years.

Herman quickly replied, [Already ate.], then pocketed his phone, telling Collin, "Let's play just one more round of golf, I've got stuff to do in the afternoon, gotta dash."

Anastasia had work at 5 p.m., so he'd have to head back soon.

"It took me a lot to come back from abroad, and you're already itching to leave, what a bummer. Drinks tonight? Whatever you've got on, you can blow it off," Collin said. "I've already made reservations for tonight, let's go have a drink."

"Can't blow it off." Herman gave Collin a pat on the shoulder. "Let's catch up another day."
