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 ty 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalways 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
She asked subconsciously, “Why?”
Collin just chuckled, not answering
Julie had always claimed to love Herman The Brown family and the Salstrom family had some
connections, and this wasn’t their first time dining together. But she didn’t even know that Herman was
allergic to cilantro.
Anastasia and Herman left Collins private-dish restaurant and went to a private cinema
Learning from their previous experience, Herman made full preparations this time. He chose a private
cinema room where they could lie on a big bed to watch movies
This seemed to be designed specifically for couples
Anastasia held a bucket of popcorn, looked at the big bed in front of her, then at the huge screen.
“Herman, how did you find out about this cinema?”
This didnt seem like watching a movie, more like laying down to rest. If they were watching a movie
with explicit scenes, it would be
Herman said earnestly, “I stumbled upon this cinema while reading reviews online. The reviews were
good, so I chose it. Shall we start the movie now?”
“What movie did you choose?” Anastasia wanted to decide whether to watch based on the type of
movie.
Herman took out two movie tickets, saying, “It’s an action crime documentary, with elements of
suspense.”
Anastasia nodded, “Sounds good, should be exciting.
As long as it wasn’t a romance like last time, she was worried Herman would make a move on the spot.
The lights in the movie room were dim, and they started watching the movie lying on the bed, Herman
had his arm around Anastasia, and Anastasia was nestled in Herman’s arms.
The first half of the movie was okay, but the second half started to deviate. Despite being a crime
documentary, the suggestive scenes were more exciting than the movie they watched last time.
When the suggestive scenes appeared, Anastasia’s heartbeat quickened. She felt someone’s hand

Anastasia pretended to be calm, not responding, but Herman’s behavior became more and more
excessive, even reaching inside her clothes
In the end, the movie ended, but Anastasia didn’t see the ending.
When they left the cinema, Anastasia’s cheeks were still flushed from embarrassment. She glared at
Herman, then said, “I have to go to the bathroom,”
Herman said contentedly. “I’ll wait for you at the door”
Anastasia took her bag to the washroom. Because of the excessive activity just now, her thighs were a
bit sore.
Now every time she saw Herman, she felt weak in the knees.
Anastasia retouched her makeup, fixed her hair and clothes, then went out.
Unexpectedly, she ran into a familiar face around the corner.
Demi was surprised to see Anastasia and seemed a bit flustered
This cinema was mainly for couples, and most of the audience were couples.
Arpstasia was surprised to see Demi here. She thought Cason should still be in the hospital, so who
was Demi here with?
Anastasia stared at Derni without speaking. Demi saw Anastasia alone, remembering what Cason had
said, her eyes immediately filled with contempt. and disdain.
“I never would have guessed that our former prom queen sure knows how to have fun, huh.
