The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 608

Dailey was outside, keeping a watchful eye, while Gianna, after watching some TV, drew the curtains, cutting off Dailey's view into the house.

With the curtains closed, Gianna headed down to the basement.

Dailey, having waited outside for quite some time without any activity, figured she wasn't home and quickly called Herman.

Herman was already on his way. As Gianna returned to Cynthia's neighborhood, Herman's car appeared, pulling up right in front of hers.

He was quick, no doubt about it.

Gianna had been expecting Anastasia, so seeing Herman step out of the car caught her off guard.

She stayed in her car, too embarrassed to face Herman. Her current state made her feel too insecure to even look him in the eye.

"Ms. Yang, can we find a place to chat?" Herman asked, standing beside her car, his face giving nothing away.

Gianna had a pretty good idea why Herman wanted to see her, though she knew she shouldn't meet him, especially not now. But it was Herman, and she couldn't bring herself to say no.

With a nod, they ended up at a nearby coffee shop about fifteen minutes later.

Since her accident, Gianna had avoided crowded places and always wore a veil, too self-conscious to show the scars on her face and neck.

The coffee shop was bustling, and even though no one was staring, Gianna felt painfully self-conscious, as if everyone was whispering about her.

She kept the veil on, not touching the coffee in front of her.

Herman broke the silence first, "Ms. Yang, do you know why I'm here?"

Gianna feigned ignorance, "I have no clue. Your visit is quite the surprise."

Gianna remained unfazed, only responding with a cold laugh, "What are you hoping to find? Herman, if you're looking for a reason to pin on me, you've got plenty. In my current state, I don't see much point in anything. Being all alone, I have nothing to fear."

Herman couldn't detect any panic in Gianna's calm demeanor.

Could his suspicions have been wrong?

When Herman had intercepted Gianna, he had already instructed Dailey to sneak into her house for a search.

At that moment, Dailey called Herman, reporting, "Boss, there's nobody here. I've searched the entire house, inside and out, and found nothing."

Hearing Dailey's report over the phone, Herman's gaze sharpened as he looked at Gianna.

Gianna, for once, met Herman's eyes directly, fearless and open, "Herman, did you find what you were looking for?"
