Chapter 113.
All the clothes had been custom made, totaling more than a dozen sets, and each one had been incredibly stylish, exuding a sense of sophistication.
No price tags, and Anastasia had no clue how much they cost, but they looked hella fancy and the fabric was top notch
Each one suited Anastasia perfectly, conservative yet alluring
Anastasia slipped into a red number with a teardrop neckline, sexy yet classy.
She casually pinned her hair up, a few loose strands framing her makeup-free face, making her look even more refined.
Anastasia had a well proportioned figure with a slender waist. Wearing this dress, she exuded femininity while maintaining an independent air
Herman was utterly bowled over by her beauty
She was sassy without being vulgar, flirtatious but not cheesy
Do look good? Anastasia asked, feeling a bit out of her comfort zone in such clothes.
âStunning âHerman complimented generously
The dress wasnât something Herman had ordered, but a gift from the designer, tailored to Anastasiaâs measurements, in hopes of buttering
It looked fantastic. Herman was more than pleased
He approached her, lifting a hand to adjust a loose strand of her hair, Tim so lucky to have such a beautiful wife like youâ
Anastasia laughed, âYou sure have a sweet mouth.â
He grinned, âI mean it.â
Anastasia asked, âWhy did you buy so many clothes? I canât possibly wear them allâ
âJust change up every day Ill earn the money, you just focus on looking beautifulâ
âSo Iâm just a trophy wife now? I donât want that, Anastasia loved the dress she was wearing, but had no occasion to wear it.
him
âThis dress is lovely, but it might get in the way at the Night Market.â Anastasia revealed, âI got fired. Iâve decided to go back to my old job, selling stuff at the Night Marketâ
Herman didnât say much, just commented, â1 would worry about you going out in this dressâ
He was concerned that she might attract unwanted attention.
Anastasia laughed. Arenât you mad that I got fired? I havenât had any income recently, and weâre relying entirely on you at home. Iâm feeling a bit anxious,â
Anastasia was used to being self-reliant, so not earning her own keep made her feel uneasy
âYouâre so talented, I bet your company will invite you back in no time.â Herman said. âThe whole Ledford family thing wasnât your fault.â
âYou knew i got fired?â Anastasia realized that since Herman worked at Elysian Technologies too, it made sense that he knew
Herman gave her a half-true explanation, I have some contacts with Mr. Victor from the branch office. He told me
âWow, you know Victor?â
Anastasia was impressed, her admiration shining through as she instinctively called him âHubbyâ.
Hearing this term of endearment made Herman feel rather pleased.
Anastasia: âI saw him at the companyâs annual meeting. He was sent from the head office to our branchâ
Anastasia had also heard from her coworkers that Victor was indeed sent from the head office.
âHerman, seeing you excel at the head office, I feel like Iâm dragging you down at the branch. Thankfully no one knows weâre married, or I mightâve embarrassed youâ
Herman smiled gently. âDont belittle yourself, youâre my pride and joy. I have a friend who wants to meet you tonight, how about we go out for dinner?â
Collin had been wanting to meet Anastasia. Heâd messaged Herman first thing in the morning, curious about the significant someone who had caught Hermanâs eye
âSureâ
The idea of meeting Hermanâs friend made Anastasia both nervous and excited.
She was worried she might embarrass Herman, but also happy that he was willing to introduce her to his social circle.
âI need to put away these clothesâ
Dressing so formally at home wasnât practical.
Anastasia headed back to her room to change into something more comfortable while Herman was in his study, getting some work done.
Just then, the doorbell rang
Ahastasia, now in her loungewear, went to answer the door and was taken aback by who was there.
âSelena? What are you doing at my door?â
