Chapter 52

Anastasia didn’t want to drg too deep. She had been around the block at work and seen colleagues

pretend they were big shots during negotiations

because they didn’t have the clout

Most clients would politely refer to them in such a way when meeting for the first time, partly to show

respect and partly to get closer to them.

Anastasia and Herman had been living together for quite some time, but she always saw him as a

regular Joe, a guy who didn’t even own a house and didn’t have much in his bank account.

She never in a million years thought that her hubby would turn out to be the CEO of Elysian

Technologies, who’s worth a whopping hundred billion

“Got it,” Anastasia didn’t ask further, just said, “Take a look and see what you want to order I’ve already

ordered a couple of dishes.”

Let me see Herman took a look at the menu and ordered two more dishes, one of which was an

extravagant dessert. She had never tasted such luxury before

Anastasia wanted to object but didn’t want to let him down, so she held her tongue

Herman told the waiter. That’s all, thank you,”

“Sure, just a moment please, the waiter left.

Herman poured Anastasia a glass of lemon water and said, “I bought two movie tickets, we can go

after dinner”

“Uh? Sure” Anastasia was a bit thrown off by Herman’s sudden kindness.

First dinner, then a movie. This felt like a date

Was Herman taking her on a date?

“Anastasia,” Herman said calmly. This is my first marriage and my first relationship. There might be

things I don’t understand, or things that make you uncomfortable. You can tell me and we can work it

out.”

Anastasia laughed, “It’s not like writing code for a program.

She thought Herman was quite funny sometimes.

Herman looked at her coolly. Anastasia was beautiful when she laughed, like spring sunshine, warm

and comforting.

Feeling a little awkward under his gaze, she looked away and asked, “What kind of movie is it?”

“A romance.” Herman wasn’t much of a movie buff, the tickets were actually bought by Flynn.

The movie idea was Flynn’s too.

Flynn had given him a lot of suggestions, like giving flowers, going to a movie, having a candlelit dinner,

giving gifts, sweet talking.

He said these tricks would win her over easily.

No girl could resist romance, and “I love you” was the ultimate weapon. Any girl who fell for it would be

smitten.

Anastasia picked up her glass and took a sip. I haven’t seen a movie in years.”

The last time was when Monica dragged her to one, years ago

Herman confessed, “I havent either”

Anastasia laughed, “If you said you had, I would’ve been shocked.”

If a guy who never had an ex-girlfriend said he had been to a romance movie before, wouldn’t that be a

shocker?

Not having an ex-girlfriend wasn’t scary What was scary was if he had an ex-boyfriend. If Herman had

gone to a movie with a guy, that would be even more shocking!

Herman looked at her intently, his voice deep and serious, “Anastasia, this is my first time seeing a

movie. The first person to see a movie with me will be responsible for me, so you need to think it over.”

Anastasia burst into laughter, she even spat out the water in her mouth

Such a cheesy line coming from Herman was a real surprise.

Just going to a movie and she’d be responsible?

“Sorry, I couldn’t help it.” Anastasia asked while laughing, “So if someone takes your first time, she

would be responsible for you forever?”

Herman said with a straight face, “Yes, she’ll have to take responsibility for me forever”

What a romantic line.

Anastasia thought about how Herman hadn’t had a girlfriend even at thirty, so his expectations might

be a bit different. For Herman, going to a movie was something he could only do with someone he

wanted to spend his life with.

Suddenly, Anastasia felt like she had struck gold. Such pure-hearted men were rare to find these days.
