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.
At the school gate, Pattie waved goodbye, "See ya, mom and dad."
Herman seemed a bit reluctant to leave, lingering at the school gate for a while. Anastasia took his hand, laughing and saying, "Let's go, or else we'll be late. Look how unwilling you are to part with her. Why don't you just join her in kindergarten?"
Herman replied, "Our little girl is growing up so fast, don't you think? Pattie is getting taller and prettier, just like you."
"They say the child resembles who raises her, so since we're bringing up Pattie, naturally she'll start to look like us. Sometimes I even feel that Pattie looks just like you."
While chatting, they walked towards their car parked by the roadside. "Well, I almost forgot, one of my colleagues has been acting weird lately. He followed me to the subway station last night." Anastasia finally remembered to mention this to Herman.
Herman immediately realized the gravity of the situation, "What colleague? Which department? Is it a guy? What's his name and what's his purpose?"
Seeing him so uptight, Anastasia said, "Don't freak out. His name is Harmon. I think he might be upset because of a failed blind date. He tried online dating on OkCupid, but got scammed a few times. He's probably not in the right state of mind. He knows I was also on OkCupid, and he keeps calling me a scammer. It's just so weird."
"Stay away from people like that," Herman warned her. "You never know what people are capable of."
"I know." Anastasia made a promise gesture, "I'll definitely steer clear of him."
Actually, Anastasia was also a bit fearful of Harmon and would definitely try to avoid him.
Herman dropped Anastasia off at her office and watched her go inside before driving to the next intersection. Nelson and their driver were waiting for him there, and Herman parked his Chevrolet to hop into the Rolls Royce. Every morning after dropping Anastasia off, he'd switch cars at this intersection, Nelson and the driver would always wait for him there.
Nelson started briefing Herman on the day's schedule, "Mr. Salstrom, you have a meeting with Mr. Jarod from WOW Corporation in the morning, and Mr. Stakley from Stratix Solutions has invited you to a round of golf in the afternoon."
