Chapter 78
Anastasia kept her mouth shut, then forced herself to keep calm. “I got so hammered last night that I
cant remember a thing. What happened?”
Anastasia feigned confusion.
Herman chuckled lightly squeezed her hand, and said regretfully, “What a pity”
Anastasia struggled to find a response
As they reached the car, Herman opened the door for her, “We’re running late.”
Anastasia started to panic
“Let’s hurry then, my boss is a real dragon lady if I’m late, she’s gonna chew me out.”
Herman started the car and asked casually following her complaint. “Does Selena treat you badly?”
Realizing she had misspoken, Anastasia quickly denied it, “No, not at all. I’m just a newbie, and there’s
a lot I don’t understand. She’s just guiding me, everyone at the company is super nice”
She always chose to share the good news and keep the bad news to herself

Victor, the branch manager who was planted at her side to keep an eye on things for him, had also
informed him about the argument between Anastasia and Selena yesterday

harm than good.
Besides, Anastasias performance didn’t disappoint him.
“That’s good Herman said. “If you ever feel wronged or need any help, come and tell me. I’ll sort it out
for you?
Anastasia blushed as she remembered how she was acting all cute and clingy to Herman last night,
“Okay”
With Hermans reassurance, Anastasia felt very secure.
As the car moved on, Anastasia lamented. We really only need one car. The last car we bought was a
bit of a waste. Parking fees, insurance, it all adds Up.”
Since Herman had been driving her to and from work, the new car had just been sitting there, wasted.
“I might have to go on a business trip soon. You can drive to work by yoursell then I have a dinner
appointment tonight as well, so I might not be able to pick you up You might have to catch a cab
home.”
“How many days will you be gone? Where are you going? When will you be back?” Anastasia asked
without thinking.
It sounded like a wife questioning her husband’s whereabouts.
Herman laughed, “I just said maybe. If I need to go, let you know in advance and keep you in the loop.”
1 was just asking”
Anastasia looked away. She felt a bit embarrassed and fell silent.
They arrived at her office just in time; Anastasia didn’t bother to say goodbye to Herman and hurried
into the office building

before finally leaving

and jokingly asked, “Bro, how does it feel to drive a Chevy?”
Herman tossed his car keys to Flynn, “Why don’t you give it a try?”

every girl is like your wife, who doesn’t care about wealth.”
Herman didn’t respond and headed to the private elevator.
Flynn cheerfully followed, “Now that you drive a Chevy every day, the Rolls Royce at home is sitting
idle. How about lending it to me for a few days?”
Herman flatly refused. “Neither my car nor my wife are for lending.”
“Herman, you have so many cars in your garage, you wouldn’t miss one.”
Herman stood his ground
Flynn changed his strategy saying mysteriously. “Mam called me last night; there’s news. Wanna
know?”
“No’peed” Herman said, “She’s planning my wedding with Anastasia’
Flynn apked at Herman in surprise, “How did you know? She said it was a secret.”

Herman glanced at Flynn. His look seemed to say, what secrets could there be in a family?
Flynn sighed in disappointment, “You’re so dull, Herman. No wonder you haven’t conquered your wife
yet”
Herman raised an eyebrow, “How do you know I havent?”
After hearing this, Flynn looked at him in surprise, “Could it be… you ve already succeeded?”
