    Chapter 40


    As Herman was lost in the memory of that dream, Flynn shot him another message: “Dude, you’ve


    been sleeping in the other room. You think my sis–inw might get the wrong idea?”


    Would Anastasia really misunderstand? Herman recalled her reaction earlier.


    A few minutester.


    For some reason, he found himself standing outside Anastasia’s room. He wanted to knock a few times


    but ultimately held back.


    The next day


    Herman heard Anastasia getting up in her room, so he got up too.


    “Good morning”


    Herman greeted her warmly.


    “Good morning” Anastasia didn’t seem to care. She just smiled and walked straight to the kitchen to


    make breakfast, business as usual.


    Herman wanted to say more, but he didn’t get the chance. He picked up his cup and purposely went to


    the water cooler to fill it up.


    The water cooler was right at the kitchen door. As Herman filled his cup, he sneaked a nce at


    Anastasia.


    She was cutting tomatoes with toast on the side, apparently getting ready to make sandwiches.


    Anastasia didn’t notice Herman’s actions. He took his cup to the living room, and after a while, he went


    back to the water cooler to fill it up again.


    He did this three times, but Anastasia didn’t notice.


    Herman gave up. He went to the kitchen door and asked, “Did you get everything ready for your


    interview today?”


    Anastasia, who was making the te, was startled by Herman’s voice.


    She steadied herself and asked, “Uh, yes, everything’s ready. Is something up?”


    “No, just asking “Herman seemed a bit ufortable. He pretended to drink water and then went back


    to the living room.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    The house was small, with an open kitchen and living room. As long as Herman didn’t go back to his


    room, Anastasia could see him from the kitchen.


    Feeling a bit puzzled, Anastasia finished making the sandwiches and brought them out. “Herman, the


    breakfast is ready. Let’s have sandwiches today. Try it and see if it’s as good as the one you madest


    time.”


    “Sure.” Herman took a bite. “Not bad.”


    Anastasiaughed and started eating happily. “Duncan told mest night that his child found a suitable


    bone marrow donor and the operation is free. Everything you said came true. They are really going to


    get out of their predicament. Your predictions are indeed urate.”


    Herman just smiled, “Since my predictions are so urate, I wish you sess in your interview today.”


    Anastasiaughed, “With your words, I am more confident.”


    “I believe you can do it.” Herman said.


    As Anastasia ate her breakfast, she asked, “If I pass the interview, can wemute together?”


    “My department is different from yours, and our offices are not at the same ce. Herman exined, “I


    spend most of my time in the park, not in the office building Thepany’s divisions are very clear,


    with each floor of the office building having a clear division ofbor. Jewelry is only a part of Elysian


    Technologies‘ business. The location of your interview today is the Elysian Tower, but your workspace


    will not be in this building, it will be in a different location.”


    “Oh, I see.” Anastasia didn’t ponder too much, she trusted him no matter what he said.


    The Elysian Tower had over fifty floors, with each floor’s employees working in different fields. Unless


    permission was granted, it was not allowed to cross floors. Each elevator also had designated floors it


    could reach.


    Only the president’s elevator could freely reach every floor, the others could not.


    The interview was scheduled for two in the afternoon. Herman didn’t go to thepany in the morning,


    but at one o’clock he drove Anastasia to Elysian Tower A for her interview.


    As Anastasia got out of the car, Herman told her, “Good luck with your interview.”


    Anastasia clenched her fist, “I can do it.”


    They shared a smile, and Anastasia turned to enter the building while Herman drove into the


    underground parking lot. From there, he took the president’s elevator straight to the president’s office


    on the top floor.


    When Nelson, the president’s secretary, saw Herman, he respectfully greeted him, “Mr. Salstrom.”


    Herman’s voice was clear, “Today the Jewelry Design Department is recruiting. You go supervise the


    interview”


    “I understand, Mr. Salstrom As Herman’s right–hand man, Nelson, of course, knew what to do.


    The president’s wife of Elysian Technologies was participating in an interview. She couldn’t be


    eliminated by some ignorant person, nor could Herman’s identity be exposed, so it was up to Nelson to


    handle it.
