Chapter 2
Seeing that Anastasia was really leaving, Herman reminded her, âShouldnât we exchange contact info? How am I gonna catch you later?â Anastasia was a bit embarrassed as this had totally slipped her mind. She quickly pulled out her mobile, and they added each other on WhatsApp. Herman also gave Anastasia his phone number, saying, âCall me if anything comes up. This was his personal line.
âMm.â Anastasia glanced at Hermanâs phone from the corner of her eye, he had saved her name as âmy wifeâ.
Seeing this nickname, Anastasia felt a strange sensation. Was she a married woman now?
She was going to simply save his contact as his name, but seeing how Herman saved hers as âwife, she hesitated for a moment, then saved him as âmy Mr. Salstrom.
As Herman was about to offer her a lift, his phone rang. Changing what he was about to say, he said, âBe careful on the roadâ
Anastasia didnât want to disturb him any further, so she hailed a cab and left.
Herman watched as Anastasia drove away. After a while, a Rolls Royce pulled up beside him, and a man in the car rolled down the window.
âHerman, werenât you supposed to meet me at the cafe? Why did you come here? Youâve been ignoring my calls. You have a contract signing at Crescent Bay at 6. The flightâs booked for 4 this afternoon. Weâll miss it if we donât get moving.â
The man talking was Hermanâs younger brother, Flynn.
âI had some business to take care of.â Herman got in the car, his voice a bit deep. âLetâs head to the airport now.â
Flynn started the car, casually asking, âWhat business were you taking care of?â

âI got marriedâ Hermanâs casual remark nearly caused an accident. mFlynn, startled, mistakenly stepped on the accelerator, hastily hit the brakes, and finally steadied the car.
âAre you joking? You donât even have a girlfriend. Mom introduced you to so many women, but you showed no interest. She even started suspecting that you might be into men and was about to introduce you to some. Anyway, our family is openâminded, and besides, I can inherit the family businessâ¦
âIf you keep rambling, Iâm cutting your allowance in half for the rest of the year.â
Flynn immediately cried out, âBro, come on!â
âAfter you drop me off at the airport, help me buy an apartment. Nothing too fancy, a regular flat will do.â
âWhy do you want such a small place? You have several villas in your name, arenât they enough for you?â
Herman shot him a glance, and Flynn immediately fell silent. He didnât take Hermanâs marriage seriously, thinking he was just joking. Because he knew Hermanâs love life well. Herman wouldnât just marry a random woman he met on the street.
Anastasia returned home, and as soon as she walked through the door, her mother started scolding her, âAnastasia, youâve started lying now. I told you to go on a date, why didnât youâ¦â
Salma hadnât finished when she saw Anastasia pull out the marriage certificate.
âMom, Iâm married now.â Anastasia showed the marriage documents to Salma. âYou can rest easy now.â
Salma was very surprised when she saw the marriage documents. She put down the cleaning tools in her hand and took the documents with trembling
hands.
On closer examination, Salma found that the man was very handsome. Then she saw the name, Herman?
She remembered that the man introduced on the dating site didnât have this name. Did she hear it wrong?
