Chapter 121
Chapter 121
Herman, being the thoughtful hubby he was, was already waiting downstairs to pick up Anastasia from
work.
Man, there was nothing like having her man pick her up from work it was like a scene straight out of a
rom!
Anastasia, in high spirits, told Herman on the phone, Til be right down.”
After hanging up, Lauren joked, “Your hubby’s here to get you? What a catch! Girl, you lucked out.”
Some people who were previously unaware of Anastasia’s marriage now knew about it as well
Anastasia’s beauty had the gals green with envy. Sometimes, a woman’s jealousy was just too hard to
exin.
But now that they knew Anastasia was off the market, the green-eyed monster had calmed down a bit.
1 gotta stop yapping and head out, Anastasia said with a smile. He’s taking me to meet his pals
tonight.”
“Off you go,” Lauren said, clearly envious. “Lucky you, having someone to look out for you and watch
your back.”
Anastasia grinned, gathered her stuff and headed downstairs.
Herman was waiting by his Chevy parked curbside. Seeing the car, Anastasia’s heart fluttered and she
quickened her pace.
There was a saying that held true when loved someone, one couldn’t wait to be by their side.
Herman saw Anastasia approaching in the rearview mirror, gave a small smile and got out to open the
door for her.
“Why are you running? Watch your step.”
“I couldn’t wait to see you said Anastasia, not holding back her affections for Herman “I have good
news. I’ve designed a ne that Everlee loves. You should’ve seen Selena’s face change when she
saw it”
Ever since meeting Herman, Anastasia felt like everything was falling into ce. No matter what the
obstacles were, they always managed to ovee
them.
Today was no different. She was content and filled with joy
Herman pulled Anastasia in for a kiss. “My wife, you’re the best. Consider this your reward.”
This bold move made Anastasia blush in broad daylight.
She yfully smacked Herman’s chest, “Get in the car! It’d be embarrassing if someone we know saw
us.”
Herman chuckled and made a gentlemanly gesture, “Mydy, after you”
Anastasia was amused andughed, responding. “Sure. My lord,” and got in the car
When being in love, even the wind smelled sweet. Anastasia was living proof of that
Once they were on the road, Anastasia asked, “Where are we going for dinner? Who’s this friend of
yours? is what I’m wearing okay?”
“Don’t worry, he’s an old friend, reassured Herman, holding her hand. “It’s just a casual dinner, Rx
you look stunning.”
Feeling relieved, Anastasia cheerfully said, “Herman, I think you’re my lucky charm. Since meeting you,
all my problems seem to solve themselves.
Herman smiled. Then III have to protect you, so your life will always be this smooth”
Talk about a heart-warmer.
Anastasia was touched. As she looked at him, she saw the love of her life
Herman let Anastasia look at him. When they stopped at a traffic light, he leaned in and whispered,
‘Tonight, when we get home, I’ll let you have an even closer look.”
Anastasia Was stunned for a while, “You have a dirty mind,” Anastasia said, yfully smacking
Herman. “So, the gentleman act was a facade, huh?”
Who would’ve thought that Herman, who always seemed so upright, had a wicked sense of humor?
Herman held her hand and gave it a light kiss, Im just being honest.”
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the restaurant.
was a discreet private-dish restaurant located in prime Riverdale real estate. The restaurant was
tastefully decorated, oozing luxury without being
ostentatious
The restaurants Herman took Anastasia to were getting fancier and fancier
Before, she was afraid to look at the prices on the menu. Now, she was even afraid to tread lightly.

Because the tiles under her feet were worth thousands of bucks a pop. If she broke one, she couldn’t
afford to rece it
Anastasia whispered to Herman, “You said this is a private-dish restaurant. Do you think they use the
tiles as a kind of investment? Why would they put such expensive tiles on the floor? What if someone
breaks one?”
Harman, amused by Anastasia’s humor, and reassured her, “Don’t worry, if a tile breaks, it s the
owner’s problem. My friend’s treating us today, so order whatever you want. Don’t worry about the
price. He may not have much, but he’s got money to burn*
If Collin Witt heard that, he’d be fuming. Wasn’t that insulting? Comparing wealth with Herman, a
billionaire, was like asking for trouble.
Herman’s fortune, known to the public as the Lunsford family wealth, was just the tip of the iceberg.
After all, whatpany would put all its assets on disy?
Wealth was best kept under wraps.
