The Bound Between Us

Chapter 124

Julie sneered, “Herman’s just killing time with her. That woman doesn’t have a clue about who Herman really is. Obviously, Herman’s keeping it a secret to give himself some cover. He’s just hanging out with her to pass the time. Once the novelty wears off, she’ll be tossed aside.”

Collin shook his head, laughing. You really don’t get guys, do you?”

Julie looked sour, ‘How can a woman like that be good enough for Herman? How can she become the lady of the Salstrom family?”

“Whether she’s good enough or not isn’t for you to decide, but Herman’s decision, Collin stood up, smirking, “Anyway, I’ve already committed to being the best man.”

Collin took a few steps away, then added, “By the way, a man like Herman doesn’t need his partner to add any extra sparkle to his economic power. He can make any choice he wants as long as it comes from the heart and it’s someone he really likes. The more pure hearted the woman, the more likable she is.”

When someone was on top and living in the cutthroat world of business, socializing can be draining. At times like these, they longed for someone simpler.

Anastasia was that kind of woman. And Collin noticed during dinner that while it seemed Herman was always looking after Anastasia, she was also looking after him, worrying about him over little things.

Julie snorted, “Well, we ll see how long their relationship lasts. Maybe that woman’s just putting on a show. She’s just a good actress.”

Collin didn’t respond. Instead, he asked, “Did you notice when Anastasia was serving food to Herman, she specifically picked out the cilantro? Do you know why she did that?”

Julie hadn’t noticed, and she didn’t know why
