The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 27

Herman hadn't seen it coming, Anastasia showing up at the Blissful Beat. He had a lump in his throat, and he asked, "Have you guys seen the big boss of Elysian Technologies?"

Anastasia shrugged. "Nope, Monica said, she only caught a glimpse of a figure. The place was packed, and she didn't get a good look. But that glimpse seemed to excite her. Is your boss really that hot?"

Herman breathed a sigh of relief. "Compared to me, he falls a bit short."

Anastasia chuckled. "You're pretty cocky. If your boss heard that, he might not be too pleased."

Herman replied, "I'm a programmer. If this company doesn't want me, there are plenty others that will. But I don't think our boss is that petty."

Anastasia asked curiously, "Herman, your boss is loaded and handsome, why is he still single? Do you think he has some unique preferences?"

"I don't have a clue. That's his private life, not something we employees should discuss." Herman quickly changed the subject. "Didn't you say you were heading out to set up your stall at five? Are your goods all ready?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, I need to go and move the goods."

Anastasia thought to herself, “The CEO of Elysian Technologies, was way out of her league. They were from two different worlds. She should be focusing on hard work and making money.”

Only with money could she support herself.

This time, with Herman's help, he took care of all the heavy lifting. Once everything was ready, they headed to Alder Night Market together.

Anastasia rented a stall there.

When she first started this business, Anastasia was clueless about the industry. She got caught by the city management, fined, and her goods were confiscated.

At that time, Anastasia was terrified and heartbroken over her goods. She cried miserably and didn't dare to tell her mother what had happened. She bore all the hardships alone.

It was Herman's first time setting up a stall. He didn't know a thing, but Anastasia was an old hand and quickly set up the stall and lit a small table lamp.

Herman looked at the small table covered with trinkets made by Anastasia. He was deeply moved because Anastasia had survived in Riverdale by hawking. Herman looked around the Night Market. There were many vendors selling trinkets, and most of them were young girls. The competition was fierce.

There were also stalls selling clothes, daily necessities, and snacks. It was bustling.

The Night Market was surrounded by several universities, so it got very lively when school was over. The local residents also liked to stroll around, and the foot traffic was huge.

Anastasia took two stools from the trunk and handed one to Herman. "Sit on this."

Herman didn't say anything and sat down after taking the stool.

As the weather was a bit stuffy, Anastasia also prepared a small electric fan for Herman. "Here, fan yourself so you won't feel too hot."

It was Herman's first time in such a place. Anastasia was worried he would not be comfortable, so she prepared a lot for him. Besides the fan, there was also water and snacks. To keep him from getting bored, she also carried a tablet for him.

Herman felt pampered and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not uncomfortable, this place is quite nice."

Anastasia was very polite and cautious, afraid that Herman might feel uncomfortable.
