The Bound Between Us

Chapter 27

Herman hadn’t seen it coming. Anastasia showing up at the Blissful Beat. He had a lump in his throat, and he asked, “Have you guys seen the big boss of Elysian Technologies?”

Anastasia shrugged. “Nope, Monica said, she only caught a glimpse of a figure. The place was packed, and she didn’t get a good look. But that glimpse seemed to excite her. Is your boss really that hot?”

Herman breathed a sigh of relief “Compared to me, he falls a bit short.”

Anastasia chuckled. “You’re pretty cocky. If your boss heard that, he might not be too pleased”

Herman replied Tm a programmer. If this company doesn’t want me, there are plenty others that will. But I don’t think our boss is that petty”

Anastasia asked curiously, “Herman, your boss is loaded and handsome, why is he still single? Do you think he has some unique preferences?”

“Oh, I almost forgot, I need to go and move the goods.”

Anastasia thought to herself, “The CEO of Elysian Technologies, was way out of her league. They were from two different worlds. She should be focusing on hard work and making money.”

Only with money could she support herself.
