The Bound Between Us

Chapter 30

When Herman saw Flynn, it was like spotting a treasure trove.

Without any hesitation, Herman jumped right into his sales pitch. These are handmade jewelry pieces by your sister–in–law. Fancy buying a few for your girlfriend?”

Though the tone was more of a question, those who knew Herman understood it was more of a command. Flynn had no choice but to buy

It was made by Anastasia, and of course. Flynn would support her He said, “Absolutely, these pieces are stunning Angie, pick out a few”

At the mention of the word “gulfriend, Angie felt a wave of joy wash over her She happily picked out a few pieces. They’re all so beautiful, I love them all.” Seizing the opportunity, Herman said. “If you like them, buy them all. They’re unique, like these cherry earrings, symbolizing good things come in pairs, perfect for you lovebirds And this sunflower hair clip symbolizes passionate love

Even Anastasia had to give him props for his sales tactics. These were all made–up meanings by Herman on the spot.

The more Angie listened, the more she wanted to buy them all. “Flynn, can we buy them all?”

Angie wasn’t part of Flynns circle and didn’t know Herman. She had no idea how rich Flynn was or the real relationship between Herman and Flynn.

Anastasia knew Flynn was a distant relative of Herman’s. How could she take his money? She said with a smile. I’ll wrap them up for you as a gift”

Herman said, “You worked overnight to make these. We can’t just give them for free. Even though we’re distant relatives, we shouldn’t be so polite. We need to save for a house. Every penny counts.”

Flynn was speechless. Did his own brother forget about him now that he had a wife? Herman owned several villas and recently bought a three–bedroom house in Harmony Meadows. And he still needed to buy a house?
