The Bound Between Us

Chapter 747

The moment Anastasia walked in, the room collectively forgot how to breathe. Flynn was just as surprised as anyone. He'd been so swamped yesterday that he hadn't caught up on the latest news. Everyone had assumed Anastasia was still in Springfield, nursing her heartbreak. But here she was, sharp and composed in a sleek black pantsuit, her hair tied back with precision. There was an unmistakable air of confidence about her, reminiscent of Herman himself. As she strode into the room, the silence was palpable; it was as if Herman had returned through her.

With Herman's recent troubles, everyone knew Anastasia was now the rightful figurehead of the company. And who would've thought? A billionaire like Herman had truly left everything to his wife. It sounded crazy, but that was Herman for you -absolutely smitten with his wife.

As Anastasia entered, Flynn stood up and offered her his chair. "Ana, take a seat," he said, pulling it out for her.

She settled in, her gaze sweeping over the room, cool and collected. "You all seem a bit on edge seeing me here," she noted with a hint of dry humor. "Surprised? Well, you'd better get used to it. You'll be seeing me every Monday morning from now on."
