Standing before love I just want this topic to be discussed
Most of the people had already left the Locke Group at night, but Matthias was working overtime. Meanwhile, Heather quietly sat on the sideline while waiting for him without any complaints. He initially wanted to complete his work earlier, but she wouldn’t allow him to do so and insisted on him to finish his work first.After opening the office door, the two of them emerged one after another and saw that Lara was still waiting for them. With a glance, he said, “It’s late. You should head home now.”The most hardworking staff in the Locke Group was probably her as she wouldn’t leave work if Matthias was still around.With a smile on her face, she replied, “Director Locke, I’ll leave when I’m done packing up my stuff.” Her face looked so innocent that no one would suspect that she had other intentions.After returning the smile, he left with Heather, but Heather’s instinct was telling her that Lara wasn’t as innocent as she seemed.Inside the elevator, Heather approached Matthias and wh

There were techniques for two people to mingle well with each other, but sadly, Heather and Matthias knew none of it. It would sometimes be better if one of them could change the way that they spoke, but they always ended up bickering with each other.Before they could even have dinner, their moods were already unpleasant. They had already lost their appetite by that moment and were now staring at each other in an awkward atmosphere.“Send me home to the Langston Residence.” Heather wasn’t in the mood to eat and she didn’t want to stay with him a minute longer.Meanwhile, Matthias looked regretful as he realized that his tone was a little out of order earlier. Even if she wasn’t a whiny girl, she would still be infuriated when he didn’t properly answer her question. “It’s almost time for dinner. I’ll send you back after we have eaten something.” He tried to change her mind so that she would stay.“No.” She immediately rejected. After what had happened in the past two days, she didn’t

The moment Matthias noticed Heather’s increasingly ugly expression, he quickly reacted by asking her immediately, “Who was that?” He had a tense look on his face and his expression was as somber as hers.She calmly glanced at him and didn’t respond to his question. However, her meaningful look spoke volumes.“Aren’t you heading back?” Heather shifted her eyes nonchalantly toward the other direction. She urged him to leave as she needed to have some alone time and calm down.At that instant, Matthias took the hint and he chose not to bargain with her any further. She was now on the defense and resembled a porcupine with all its thorns on display, causing him to lack the courage to say even a single word.“I’ll head back right now,” he responded calmly and followed her wish. Frankly, he had never criticized her actions but acceded to her all the time.“I won’t keep you any longer then. Keep safe,” she said courteously. Then, she heartlessly cast him aside without giving any regard to hi

Early in the morning, Heather didn’t even bother to apply any serum and she went straight upstairs to talk to Everly. Luckily she went there early, as the latter was just about to leave the house.Everly was in an exceptionally good mood and when she saw Heather, her lips curved into a smile as she greeted the other woman affectionately.“Heather!” Everly didn’t sense Heather’s unusual behavior and she also didn’t notice the flash of anger in the latter’s eyes. Heather, on the other hand, studied Everly intently before asking, “Are you going out?” Everly’s all dressed-up right now. It’s so early in the morning, so where is she going?“Yes.” Everly seemed to be in high spirits and she looked quite energetic at the moment. It looks like she must have had a good night’s sleep, Heather pondered over it and came to this insignificant conclusion. She felt regretful that she hadn’t noticed Everly’s change in behavior previously. Right now, she was quite sure that Everly was going out to meet

His words made Heather all the more curious to have a look. I’m definitely going to take a look at The Fifth Season! Just then, she beamed widely because she was quite confident that it was only a matter of time before the waiter in front of her gave in to her request.“Don’t tell me that the customer from that room doesn’t need their meals to be served, nor do they need any service?” she asked quite forcefully, causing the waiter to be quite intimidated.“Well…” He looked at Heather with a torn expression.“Please help me out here,” Heather said while she took out some money. She knew that no one was able to resist the temptation of money. “If you’re willing to help me with this small favor, then I won’t let you be at disadvantage.”The waiter looked at the wad of cash in Heather’s hands and he started to hesitate. Upon seeing that, she lamented deep down, Luckily I brought the money with me; otherwise, things might not proceed as smoothly.“Then I—” the waiter could not make up his

After a 30-minute drive, Heather finally found the place where the Great Detective was. It was a remote area, which was a good choice when one wanted to hide from the public.A smirk played by the Great Detective’s lips as he looked at her walking toward him. I’ve really missed her, he thought to himself. Then, he spread his arms wide and said to her, “Hattie, let me give you a hug.”Heather rolled her eyes at him. “Zayne, be serious. I’m not in the mood to joke around with you.”Upon hearing her words, he put down his arms in disappointment but the smile on his face remained as bright as ever.“Hattie, who made you so angry?” he asked in a girly voice. He was not only a pervert but feminine in character, not to mention bisexual.“Please act more normal. You are becoming rather gay lately,” Heather responded with a look of disgust on her face.Zayne Lee was unfazed by her reaction and said, “You dislike me for being a pervert, right? So, I thought that you may like me if I act this wa

Heather left Zayne’s temporary residence with a fuzzy mind. In all honesty, she didn’t even know how she got into the car. In the end, she started the car with a million thoughts running through her mind.The weather was rather fine today, with the afternoon sun lazily spilling light over the land. It was an afternoon that Heather would usually love but she had lost the mood to enjoy the sunshine today. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she kept rubbing her temple while biting her lips.The lack of rest recently had made her migraine more severe. She wondered if Myra was being properly treated in the hands of the kidnappers, and Heather couldn’t forgive herself when she thought of this.At this rate, Heather might push her own body to the limits before Myra was rescued. Every day and night, she was unable to close her eyes and have a good night’s sleep; sometimes, she would fall asleep but would later be awakened by nightmares.Little did she know that Myra was actually having a good time

A week soon went by. Heather had been locking herself in her house and refused to come out even when Matthias came looking for her.On this day, Heather was sitting at the dining table and her gaze intermittently landed on Everly. It was so obvious to the point that even the latter took notice of her gaze.Everly tried to muster her courage multiple times to ask Heather the reason for looking at her so often but in the end, her courage dissipated and no words escaped her lips.In the past week, the kidnapper had not contacted them, but Zayne had made a breakthrough in the investigation—he managed to discover the identity of the man whom Everly had met that day.Heather was at Zayne’s temporary residence. In her hand was a photo of a man with an unfamiliar face; she couldn’t recognize him at all.“You don’t know this person?” Zayne got straight to the point and asked.“I have never met him before.” Heather had never thought that it would be a man that she did not know of. She had made

(Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari
Standing before love Weird things happened
Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to
Standing before love A waiting game
Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges
Standing before love The patient should be given the most respect
The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi
Standing before love An intense atmosphere
Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep
Standing before love A sudden accident
Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui
Standing before love Someone who creates problems
Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being
Standing before love Two unfortunates
At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l
Standing before love Start a disastrous day
In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
