The Bound Between Us

Chapter 26

Anastasia was casually flipping through a fashion magazine when Monica came running up, all flustered.

“Anastasia, Anastasia! I just saw the CEO of Elysian Technologies!”

Monica was all jazzed up, practically buzzing with excitement

Anastasia, having married the CEO of Elysian Technologies, had essentially hit the jackpot. She was now part of the high society, the wife of a filthy rich family

Anastasia chuckled, “Monica, you’re going bonkers over this! You didn’t even freak out this much when you first saw Herman Is the CEO even more handsome than Herman?”

Monica took a seat, catching her breath with a sip of water. “Wait a sec, I need to chill out.” She was bursting with things to share but was too worried about saying something wrong. It was driving her nuts.

Seeing Anastasia’s nonchalant reaction, it seemed like she was clueless about Herman’s real identity. Why would Herman keep this from Anastasia?

Monica was full of questions, and fearing Anastasia couldn’t handle the truth, she decided not to spill the beans just yet..
