Standing before love Discussion of the business
Sunlight poured into the room, casting long shadows that overlapped one another on the floor. The three of them were quiet for a moment and the atmosphere was a little awkward.“Let’s find a place to sit,” Heather said to Paige next to her, ignoring Leon.After choosing a spot next to the window, she directly went to take a seat while Paige followed her from behind. Leon fiddled with his hair and the corner of his lips curved upward into a resigned smile before he quickly went after them.As Paige sat down next to Heather, Leon took a seat opposite them. For the whole time, his eyes were intermittently glancing at Paige. Heather took in his behaviors and met his gaze in the course, so she was pretty clear of his intention.He had always been interested in beautiful women, especially mature ones. Paige carried the temperament of a mature lady from her head to toe, but what was more uncommon was the sense of abstinence on her.Naturally, a playboy like him could not resist the charm of

In an instant, the atmosphere changed and Paige’s face flushed pink. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she had been influenced by Leon and provided an irrelevant answer. In fact, she had actually made a presentation deck about the proposal for their business start-up, but she had forgotten to bring it along when she came in a hurry.Besides, Paige was not used to discussing serious matters in such a carefree environment. Just as she was about to respond to Heather after recalling the content in her presentation deck, the latter dropped the topic and glanced at her watch before saying to the former, “ It’s almost time. I will send you back to your office.” This time, they had set their meeting during Paige’s lunch break, so they did not have much time left.When Paige was about to present her points, Heather’s sudden reminder caused all that she was about to say to get stuck in her throat. Although she did not like disappointing her boss, she did not even have the

This was a sensational piece of news related to the Moriarty Family, and Heather immediately jumped up in excitement upon realizing it. She hastily flicked through the information held in her hands once again while wondering how come she had missed this point as she was quite certain that she had not missed any details before this.“There’s no point in going through that again because that clause isn’t in there.” Leon pointed to his head to indicate that he had already stored all the important information in his mind. He reckoned it was better to be straightforward about this to her.“What other important information do you have? Why don’t you reveal it all in one go?” Heather had no patience to deal with the element of suspense he was trying to create. She wanted to know more, there and then, because the Moriartys had evoked a sense of danger in her.“The Lockes and the Moriartys took hold of Bradfort City, one after the other, and their relationship spans in a complicated pattern li

The sound of cars honking from the back brought Heather back to her senses. Meanwhile, Matthias’s voice rang out from the phone next to her ear. It was quite fortunate that he had the patience of a saint and had not hung up the call despite her long silence.Recently, she had become indecisive and found it very hard to say ‘no’. She was no longer as resolute and firm as before. Just then, Matthias sensed her hesitation and cleared his throat. Since she’s not going to respond, then I’d better back off.“If you don’t want to help, I’ll try to find a way by myself.” He had no intention of making things difficult for her. After all, she had always been against the idea of him looking for Myra.After remaining quiet for a long while, she finally replied, “Do you really have to talk things through with Myra? She’s pregnant now, and I don’t want this to affect her pregnancy.” Hearing this, he could tell that she was full of concern for Myra.Although he was not surprised at all by her answer

It was early in the afternoon. Rays of sunshine shone through the drawn shades, dimly lighting up the study room. The atmosphere at the Langstons was quite lively with the noises of children playing with each other in the lounge. While it was fortunate to be surrounded by so many younger generations, Robert somehow felt that something was amiss.They entered the room and then silently shut the door behind them. Meanwhile, Matthias directed his gaze at Heather, and his eyes blurred together just then. After that, Robert switched on the light and the whole room immediately became illuminated, thereupon Heather’s face appeared clearly in front of Matthias.“Take a seat.” Robert made himself comfortable on a chaise as he invited them to sit, his hands carrying the information provided by Matthias. The former put on his reading glasses because the words on the paper were just too tiny for him to decipher. As for Heather, she casually took a seat on a bronze-colored wooden chair, and to her

Since Matthias wanted to please Robert, he had no reason to refuse Robert’s offer to stay. Heather grinned at Matthias, since it would be interesting to see how Matthias would act with the Langstons around during dinner.When they came back down, the living room was already wrecked by the kids. They pulled no punches because Robert wasn’t around to control them. The sight shocked Matthias, who had never seen how destructive kids could be, but Heather was already used to it. On the other hand, Robert was dangerously quiet. These kids are getting rowdier. Didn’t see that during my kids’ time. How unbecoming.The kids immediately quieted down when they saw Robert. Heather had a strict upbringing, but the kids were nothing but spoiled brats. Robert was ashamed that Matthias had to see that, but he pretended that nothing had happened, while Heather shot a look at the kids, and they started shivering. I see Heather holds some sway on them, huh?The kids were also scared of Robert, so they q

Love could make a woman grow overnight, but it could also change them drastically. Everly could feel her greed overwhelming her after she fell for Caleb. Eventually, she thought it was okay to use Heather as leverage if it meant she could get in touch with Caleb. Everly had been waiting for Caleb’s visit, but he never came. Instead, Matthias showed up.In that case, she wanted to match Matthias up with Heather, since the only way to make Caleb give up on Heather was to get a boyfriend for her. But what Everly didn’t know was that men would never give up on a woman—unless they lost their love for her.It was the first time Robert realized that Everly was no longer the young girl she once was. And then he made the same mistake as Heather—Robert thought Everly was falling for Matthias. But no matter what Everly had in mind, Heather and Robert would not let it go on.

“Imagine if both your wife and your lover fell into the water at the same time—who would you save first?”Upon remembering what her friend had said a few days ago, Myra felt her heart ache; it was so acute that it threatened to suffocate her. She stood stiffly in the banquet hall while the exquisite knee-length blue dress she wore was glued to her wet body, making her like a drowned rat.When the company employees in the hall saw her, they began to whisper and snicker among themselves. She did not have to eavesdrop to know what they said about her.“She’s trying to climb the corporate ladder by sleeping with the director…”“I heard she wanted to push the director’s girlfriend into the pool!”“How could someone who acts high and mighty all the time be so shameless?”A few moments ago, Myra had been taking a stroll in the back gardens of The Alegria when Eris, a rising star and Sean’s latest conquest, approached her and blocked her way.“Myra, you may be Sean’s legal wife, but if I were

Standing before love A new beginning
Hours after hours went by; three solid hours had passed before Myra woke up. The hot spring resort operated 24/7, so nobody woke her up. They patiently waited for her to wake up on her own instead.When Myra woke up, she did not remember what had happened before this. All she recalled was that she had bumped into Matthias at the hot spring resort, and everything else that happened after seemed to have faded from her memories. Nevertheless, she simply assumed that her memories were hazy because she was too tired.This was, in fact, good news to both Heather and Tony. It would be for the best that Myra did not remember any of it. At this moment, the awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared and the three of them were back to laughing and chatting around.Although there were still some hard feelings between Heather and Tony, they did not show it in front of Myra. As both of them were good actors, they easily concealed it from her.Myra beamed at them, causing them to ignore the flash of u
Standing before love Matthia didn’t deserve that
They were in a standoff. As Tony didn’t want to continue to waste his time with Heather here, he gently carried the asleep Myra into his arms. Heather quickly took a towel and covered her with it. Judging from her actions, it was obvious that she really cared for Myra, so she probably had her reasons for hiding the truth from them.Heather seemed natural under Tony’s firm gaze. Since she was able to say aloud in front of Matthias that she shouldn’t be held fully responsible for the incident that happened years ago, there was no need for her to feel guilty toward Myra.She watched as Tony left with Myra. Their initially wonderful trip at the hot spring resort had been ruined, and the culprit was none other than Matthias. She intended to go and look for him, but the latter beat her to it.It had been strange for Heather to stay at the pregnant women’s zone to begin with, but Matthias’ appearance made things worse. It was fortunate that there were no other pregnant women present at that
