In Chapter 42 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 42 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 waited for the lady outside to leave before she came out of the toilet stall.
As she washed her hands, self-doubt crept in.
She wondered, if others could get a shot by bribing, did she still stand a chance?
Just then, Monica called to ask about the interview.
Anastasia told Monica about what had happened, "Monica, do you think I'm overconfident? Everyone who came for the interview was incredibly brilliant, some even got a chance through bribery, do I still have a shot?"
Monica didn't think it was a problem, "Ana, chill, you're gonna be just fine."
Who could compete with Anastasia's background?
After all, she had the backing of the CEO of Elysian Technologies.
Monica was stoked when she learned that Anastasia was going to interview at Elysian Technologies. Even though she couldn't figure out what Herman was up to, at least he hadn't let Anastasia down so far.
Getting Anastasia into Elysian Technologies was an endorsement in itself.
Anastasia took it as a comfort, "By the way, I guess most of the women here today are here for the CEO of Elysian Technologies, not the interview."
"Those women are chasing rainbows, the CEO of Elysian Technologies is out of their league." Monica teased, "Maybe the CEO already has someone special, the world just doesn't know yet."
Anastasia didn't care about the CEO of Elysian Technologies' private life. Even if she passed the interview, it was unlikely she would ever meet the CEO.
Anastasia checked the time, "I gotta go, no matter the outcome, I'm gonna give it a shot. I'll catch up with you later."
After hanging up, Anastasia headed to the waiting area. She hadn't gotten a good look at the woman who had bribed the interviewer in the stall.
In front of Anastasia was Lauren Mill. Lauren emerged from her interview in just a few minutes.
Anastasia asked, "That was quick! How'd it go?"
Lauren shrugged, "Not sure."
"Darn it, if you with your amazing credentials are not sure, then I'm screwed."
Anastasia immediately became nervous as a voice came from the room, "Next!"
