Chapter 78 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 kept her mouth shut, then forced herself to keep calm, "I got so hammered last night that I can't remember a thing. What happened?"
Anastasia feigned confusion.
Herman chuckled lightly, squeezed her hand, and said regretfully, "What a pity."
Anastasia struggled to find a response.
As they reached the car, Herman opened the door for her, "We're running late."
Anastasia started to panic.
"Let's hurry then; my boss is a real dragon lady. If I'm late, she's gonna chew me out."
Herman started the car and asked casually, following her complaint, "Does Selena treat you badly?"
Realizing she had misspoken, Anastasia quickly denied it, "No, not at all. I'm just a newbie, and there's a lot I don't understand. She's just guiding me; everyone at the company is super nice."
She always chose to share the good news and keep the bad news to herself.
How could Herman not know what was going on with Anastasia at work?
Victor, the branch manager who was planted at her side to keep an eye on things for him, had also informed him about the argument between Anastasia and Selena yesterday.
Herman didn't intervene because the timing wasn't right and overprotecting Anastasia might do more harm than good.
Besides, Anastasia's performance didn't disappoint him.
"That's good." Herman said, "If you ever feel wronged or need any help, come and tell me. I'll sort it out for you."
Anastasia blushed as she remembered how she was acting all cute and clingy to Herman last night, "Okay."
With Herman's reassurance, Anastasia felt very secure.
As the car moved on, Anastasia lamented, "We really only need one car. The last car we bought was a bit of a waste. Parking fees, insurance, it all adds up."
Since Herman had been driving her to and from work, the new car had just been sitting there, wasted.
"I might have to go on a business trip soon. You can drive to work by yourself then. I have a dinner appointment tonight as well, so I might not be able to pick you up. You might have to catch a cab home."
"How many days will you be gone? Where are you going? When will you be back?" Anastasia asked without thinking.
It sounded like a wife questioning her husband's whereabouts.
Herman laughed, "I just said maybe. If I need to go, I'll let you know in advance and keep you in the loop."
