Chapter 269

Anastasia felt utterly wiped out and decided to stay put and rest in the hotel. While Herman, on the other hand, was all spiffed up and ready to step out.

On seeing Herman descending the stairs, Nelson quickly got up to greet him, “Mr. Salstrom.”

Mr. Slater also rose to welcome Herman.

Herman walked up to Mr. Slater. In stark contrast to his gentle demeanor towards Anastasia earlier, he now wore a frosty expression, “Mr. Slater, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“No worries.” Mr. Slater replied with a smile, “Mr. Salstrom, our ride is waiting outside. Shall we hit the road?”

“Sure.” Herman headed towards the hotel exit, casually inquiring, “Where’s the lady you brought last night, Mr. Slater?”
