In Chapter 43 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 43 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 turned to look at the newcomer.
It was none other than Herman's secretary, Nelson.
She didn't know him, but he knew her.
This was Nelson's first time meeting Anastasia, the wife of his boss.
The male interviewer who had just insulted Anastasia was all smiles. "Nelson, what brings you here? Any directives from Mr. Salstrom?"
"Just checking things out," Nelson replied, without mentioning that this was an order from his boss. He deliberately walked up to the interview table and glanced at Anastasia's designs.
Despite being a man and not particularly interested in jewelry, Nelson found himself intrigued by Anastasia's designs. He felt a sudden urge to see the finished piece.
Seeing Nelson looking at Anastasia's designs, the male interviewer laughed. "Nelson, there's been a mistake from HR. I was about to ask this candidate to leave. There's no way Elysian Technologies would hire a high school graduate."
Hearing this, Nelson was glad he had arrived just in time, or else the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies would have been driven away by these fools.
Anastasia wouldn't stand for the insult. "If your company doesn't hire high school graduates, then you should have put it in your requirements. Please return my designs."
Seeing her crumpled resume in the trash, Nelson immediately understood that Anastasia had been wronged.
"Ms. Jewell, I apologize for the inappropriate behavior of our staff. If Elysian Technologies posted this job ad, no one is allowed to disregard that. I've seen your designs and they're excellent. Our company values not only education, but also ability." Nelson handed back her designs and asked, "What was your initial intention in designing jewelry?"
The secretary to the CEO of Elysian Technologies was apologizing to a candidate?
Everyone was shocked and started speculating about Anastasia's background.
Nelson's sincerity left a good impression on Anastasia.
"I want everyone to wear the jewelry I design. Emotions that can't be expressed in words can be conveyed through designs. It's about sharing love, capturing precious moments and making sure lovers end up together."
"Good," Nelson nodded. "Ms. Jewell, please wait for our call."
Anastasia was a bit confused. Was she being turned down?
In her past interviews, she was also asked to wait for a call, but the call never came.
