The Bound Between Us

Anastasia shook her head, pouring herself a drink and downing it in one go, “Monica, the cat’s out of the bag. I can’t keep lying to Herman.”

“Who hasn’t told a fib or two in their life? It’s just a little white lie, you’re taking it too seriously. You think Herman has never lied to you?” Monica asked.

Wasn’t it a lie that Herman was the CEO of Elysian Technologies? Monica never called him out on it because she was an outsider who had no right to meddle in Anastasia’s marriage. Besides, Herman treated Anastasia well. This should be something Herman confessed on his own.
