Standing before love Humans can be very confusing
The moment Leon reminded Heather about it, he also felt that it was necessary for them to create a piece of big news. Once they had made their fake relationship official, it was much easier for the rest of their plans to continue.“Heather, would it seem too deliberate?” he asked worriedly. If he announced their relationship two days before their family party, it seemed rather obvious that he simply found a woman to ward Dave off.“Maybe we should double confirm one thing: does he mind if you lie to him? Heather still had not fully understood Leon’s current situation. She only knew that he needed to find a fake girlfriend for the moment to appease his grandfather.“Of course. He hates it when people lie to him.” When he was younger, he had seen what happened to a man who lied to his grandfather. He still felt fear every time he remembered that.She slapped Leon’s head. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Since he doesn’t want you to lie to him, you should tell him the truth!” She was qui

Upon seeing the current situation, Heather felt that she had nothing else to talk to Leon about anymore. Looking at him in disappointment, she said, “I think I need to calm down.”The plans that she formulated in her mind were completely disrupted. She had lost all interest in them and she only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.Meanwhile, he had no idea how he had antagonized her. She suddenly became rather frightening, making him fearful to continue speaking for the fear that she might suddenly slap him.“Heather, did I say something wrong just now?” he asked remorsefully, thinking that he must have annoyed her because of what he had said earlier.“I think I’m going to reconsider our collaboration plan.” Heather did not seem like she was joking at all. Looking at how serious she was in her eyes, Leon became even more worried. Even up until now, he could not figure out what had gone wrong here.When she rose to leave, he pulled her. “Heather, did I anger you? Where are y

As the door of the director’s office opened from within, Heather’s gaze fell on Tony. After a few days of not seeing him, he looked rather haggard and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.Wondering what kind of hardship he had endured for the past few days, she suddenly felt sorry for him. After all, she could tell that Myra was extremely important to him.He was not surprised when he saw her. Heather guessed that he had already received a call from the kidnappers, who had probably given them similar instructions. When she nodded to greet him, she saw a man standing next to Tony and thought that she had met the man somewhere.She narrowed her eyes as she thought, It’s a weird day today. I keep having a feeling that I’ve seen them somewhere.The man noticed her gaze and flashed a polite smile. However, she merely twitched her lips slightly as a reply.Heather would rarely reveal her smile to strangers. She was also usually indifferent and coldly treated people. Even if she had to fa

This time around, Heather did not immediately rush home to the Langston Residence. Instead, she headed to her office, where she had not gone for quite a while. Throughout the entire journey, she remembered that her company would officially start in another few days.As a result, there was a chance she would not be able to make it for the previously agreed appointment that she had with the Saffords and she felt quite guilty toward them.The moment she arrived at her office, she used her fingerprint to open the door. She felt fortunate that she had previously set up a biometric system that could capture fingerprints. Otherwise, she would not have the key with her now.Because it had been completely empty for such a long time, there was a musty odor in the office. She quickly opened the window to air the place.The Saffords also had the keys to the office, but it seemed that they had not been here for quite some time as well. Then, Heather switched the lights on.Even though it was still

Now that things had progressed to such a state, Heather had also lost her urge to sleep. She spent the whole night making corrections to her end of the proposal. It had been quite some time since she pulled an all-nighter for work. She suddenly recalled her time in Europe while she was in charge of expanding the new market there; although the work was tiring and tough, she found the effort quite worthwhile.At this moment, dawn broke and she stood in front of the window while staring at the passersby below her. Life was ever-changing but to her, everything felt the same. The city life that she experienced now was leaden for her and it was completely different from what she’d envisioned.Heather would occasionally wonder whether there were people with superpowers present in this city. She had been seriously considering the matter of reality and the imaginary world during this timespan. Recently, she kept having the feeling that reality was very much like an illusion in Thailand whereas

ely, the Saffords were rather worried that the opening day of their company would be affected.As soon as Paige heard Heather’s words, she felt slightly appeased. She hasn’t been actively keeping in contact with me for such a long time that I was worried she no longer cares about the starting of our company.“Of course we can.” Paige’s face significantly brightened. Frankly, she bore a slight grievance against Heather and it was at that moment when all of her unhappy feelings dissipated. Heather had noticed Paige’s awkwardness, but she understood that it was quite normal for Paige to be upset. It was much better for Paige to express it than to suppress her feelings and secretly resent Heather.“I know I’ve been quite lax about the company, so I understand that you must be quite resentful about it.” Heather’s soft tone was quite different from before.Meanwhile, Paige felt slightly embarrassed by Heather’s words. She’d already expressed her displeasure, so there was no need to keep har

Before he left, Leon dialed 911 in kindness on behalf of the person who was sprawled on the ground. He knew that the person would not reveal anything unnecessarily once he regained consciousness.Occasionally, Leon hated those reporters who tend to make up stories. It was at that moment when he tightly clenched the negative of a photo with his hands while having an ugly expression on his face. There were some secrets that should not exist in this world. Meanwhile, he tucked the negative into his pocket and decided that he would find an appropriate spot to destroy it.He drove his car to meet Heather at their designated meeting point. It had been ages since he’d last gone to that place. In fact, he quite liked that location because there were plenty of beautiful women there.As soon as Leon hastily pushed open the door, he noticed Heather waiting for him at a spot next to the window; the rays of sunlight splashed on her face and she looked quite exquisite to the extent that he found it

The situation became quite tense at that moment. While Heather considered in her mind how to broach the subject with Leon, he was also trying to figure out what to do next. Both of them looked at each other while looking lost.“Heather, as far as I’m aware, you recently seem to be overly close with a particular hotshot detective,” he asked tentatively. He was considering whether he should mention it since it was something private.Meanwhile, she was slightly taken aback before she gave him a strange look. “Looks like you’ve been following my tracks,” she said this with a hint of annoyance.Leon never expected Heather to say those words. I really need to be careful with my words around women. He felt like he had fallen into a trap once again. At that moment, he responded by looking at her with a dumbfounded expression “I swear I didn’t secretly trail you! Heather, someone took a photo of you with the detective.”Upon hearing that, her expression slightly changed. She persisted and aske

Standing before love Proposals
(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
