The Bound Between Us

Chapter 2

Seeing that Anastasia was really leaving, Herman reminded her, “Shouldn’t we exchange contact info? How am I gonna catch you later?” Anastasia was a bit embarrassed as this had totally slipped her mind. She quickly pulled out her mobile, and they added each other on WhatsApp. Herman also gave Anastasia his phone number, saying, “Call me if anything comes up. This was his personal line.

“Mm.” Anastasia glanced at Herman’s phone from the corner of her eye, he had saved her name as ‘my wife‘.

Seeing this nickname, Anastasia felt a strange sensation. Was she a married woman now?

She was going to simply save his contact as his name, but seeing how Herman saved hers as ‘wife, she hesitated for a moment, then saved him as ‘my Mr. Salstrom.

As Herman was about to offer her a lift, his phone rang. Changing what he was about to say, he said, “Be careful on the road”

Anastasia didn’t want to disturb him any further, so she hailed a cab and left.

Herman watched as Anastasia drove away. After a while, a Rolls Royce pulled up beside him, and a man in the car rolled down the window.
