Anastasia’s sudden voice gave Monica and Salma a start, leaving them flustered and at a loss for words.
Seeing their panicked expressions, Anastasia asked, ‘Are you guys keeping something from me? I heard you guys talking about Cason just now. What does Cason know? Has something been found out?”
Salma was at a loss for words, but Monica thought fast and said, “Uh, I was talking about how Cason’s bankruptcy is now known to everyone, even his old classmates”
It was a strained answer
Looking at the two, Anastasia noticed both Salma and Monica were acting sketchy with shifty eyes.
“I heard you say that Cason knows something about me. What is it?” Anastasia asked.
Monica stumbled over her words
“I want the truth,” Anastasia said, feeling uneasy, “What are you hiding from me?”
She then remembered her recent medical check-up and how Monica had acted similarly secretive then.
Salma tried to deflect. Why would we keep anything from you? There’s still food in the pot, go check on it.”
Anastasia looked at Monica again, and Monica smiled reassuringly “Really, there’s nothing Just like I said”

By the time Anastasia got home, it was already nine o’clock at night.
She only turned on a single night light and sat alone on the couch, hugging a pillow, staring blankly out the window, lost in thought
What could it be that had Salma and Monica conspiring to keep things from her?
And she began to question whether her prior depression was really due to Cason and the school’s gossip.
She considered herself pretty stress resilient, so how did she end up with depression severe enough to cause memory loss?
Anastasia sank into deep thought. The night was cold, and the silence was deafening. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t realize when Herman came home until he called out her name
Herman” Anastasia, what’s wrong? Are you upset?”
At the sound of his deep, mellow voice, Anastasia looked up. Seeing Herman, she suddenly threw her arms around him.
She just held him, not saying a word, comforted by his familiar scent
Herman assumed Anastasia was upset about being fired. He patted her head, sat down next to her, and magically took out a gift box from behind him
“This is for you Open it”
Looking at the gift, Anastasia asked, “Why are you giving me another gift? Don’t waste your money”
