Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 403
Their presence at the cafe had been so influential that, despite being guarded by bodyguards, there were bound to be paparazzi lurking, eager for an exclusive scoop.Would the news of her and Walter arriving at the company together not spread like wildfire, giving her the perfect chance to make a splash?Walter's gaze was deep and unreadable as he looked at Minnie, his face a mask hiding a whirlwind of thoughts.Then, out of the blue…"Minnie, why... Why are you so kind to me?"Minnie's cheeks flushed with a sudden warmth. "Walter, isn't it obvious by now?" she asked, her voice a mix of exasperation and hope.She was sure Walter was just playing dumb. He must have known her intentions ever since she started getting close to him.Walter, with his straightforward nature, confronted the question that had been nagging at him, "We haven't known each other long, and we've barely hung out.""Trust me, the first time I saw you, your charm had me totally hooked." Minnie cut off Walter's

Walter was fed up. He had to find solid proof that Minnie was actually Julia, to get that disgraceful woman out of his and Evangeline's life for good!Walter had made up his mind the moment his feelings for Minnie shifted. There was no way he had let what happened at the cafe occur again."Boss, they were out of your favorite cream of chicken and rice soup, so I grabbed some creamy wheat cereal instead..." David, carrying the takeout dinner, was rushing back to the office and mumbling to himself when he caught sight of the scene in front of him.The creamy wheat cereal he was holding dropped suddenly, spilling everywhere.Did he just see his boss and Minnie wrapped up in an embrace?The thud of the packing box echoed loudly in the deserted office, jolting Minnie out of her cozy moment with Walter. She let out a shriek, realizing who had just walked in."Ah!" Like she had been zapped by a bolt of lightning, Minnie leaped off Walter and scrunched up, ducking behind him for cover.

The mere mention of 'running the show' had Minnie blushing even harder, if that was possible. A sharp glint passed through Walter's eyes as his smile grew wider, a clear sign he knew exactly what he was doing."David, let's call it a day. Could you set up dinner for Ms. Kast? I've got stuff to do, so I'm heading out."Walter did not even pause as he got up to leave, but Minnie, still buzzing from the new thrill of romance, was not ready to let go."Walter, it's our first day as an item together. Can't you hang out just a bit longer, pretty please?"She was still floating on cloud nine from Walter's earlier affection, but the guy could flip a switch so fast. It was like one minute he was there, and he would be gone in the next, leaving her in a daze."Look, you're not exactly out of the picture with the whole cafe news scandal. If we're seen out together now, it's like we're asking for trouble. Plus, I'm still technically engaged to Evangeline. Getting too cozy with you isn't great
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 406
"I'm sorry..." Evangeline muttered an apology without thinking, accidentally stirring up Julieta's own heartaches."Don't worry about it, Ms. Evangeline. Beyond our jobs, we're both just people, right? If you ever want to get something off your chest, I'm all ears."Evangeline glanced at Julieta, noticing the tears welling up in her eyes, and shyly looked away. "Is that true?"Julieta, I lost my mom when I was little, and even though my grandfather and uncles are super sweet, they're guys. They don't really get the whole 'heart-to-heart' thing. You're the only one I can talk to about this stuff."Evangeline inhaled deeply, feeling overwhelmed by life's curveballs.Her best friend Roslyn was a whirlwind of energy, not exactly the type to grasp those fragile feelings. Why bother dumping all that on her and dragging her down too?Julieta offered a soft smile. "Anytime you need to talk about anything, I'm here for you.""I guess I know talking won't change much." Evangeline's gaze d

However, Evangeline just could not let go!They had shared nights of fiery passion, deep conversations that bared their souls. She had once held the heart of the man she adored. How could she just erase such treasured memories?…Before she knew it, winter had crept into Avalon City.Minnie had used the excuse of delivering documents to Walter to camp out in the CEO's office all day. The secretaries were murmuring their disapproval, but David smoothed things over.David did not want to clean Minnie's messes, especially when Walter doted on her way more than he did on Evangeline from the Gordon family, or even Julia.However, there he was, dealing with the fallout, all because Walter's office was the coziest spot during the biting winter. Minnie, always playing up how frosty she was, had ditched all pretenses and practically moved in, spending her days with Walter and David.David was sick of her constant chatter, her relentless pursuit of their boss' attention. Nonetheless, Walt

Walter's affection was smothering Minnie, his love a tight band around her chest.The excuses Minnie had conjured were crumbling before they could even take flight.The disappointment in Walter's eyes melted her resolve."I just couldn't stand to leave you!" She nibbled on her lip and smoothed out his unruly bangs with a gentle hand. "But I'd just get in the way of your work, sticking to you like glue. If I messed with the company's bottom line, wouldn't I be the villain stealing bread from our team's table?"She laid it on thick, hoping Walter would catch on to her desperate need for a breather and buy her flimsy excuse, if only for a short while.However, Walter's reaction was unexpected. His brows knitted together, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. "Who's been saying you're a distraction? That's just not fair. Spill it. There's been too much gossip flying around the office, and it's high time for a crackdown."Minnie had never seen that side of Walter and braced herself
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 409
Minnie's face twisted into a look of distress. She took Walter's large hand and gently swayed it back and forth. "Walter, please, just let me go..."Walter could tell she was dead set on leaving, but he still asked with a tone of finality, "Are you sure you want to go?""Positive!" Minnie nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at the ground for food."When will you be back?"Walter was asking Minnie, but he could not help glancing at his watch."Two hours, tops. I can't spare any more time.""I guess I'll just have to deal with being apart from you for two hours." He said it with such resolve that Minnie knew there was no point in arguing.However, the thought of escaping Walter's gaze for even a moment filled Minnie with joy. She figured two hours would be plenty.With a spring in her step and a smile on her face, Minnie hurried out of the company.Little did she know, right after she left, David made up some excuse to duck out of the office and, with a companion in tow, stealth
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 410
Walter did not waste any time diving into the report David had sent over.'Sunny Glow Beauty Salon'.The name was catchy and easy to remember.It looked like just another beauty salon, small and freshly opened.Minnie was a sucker for beauty treatments, always fussing over her complexion, so her patronage was not odd on its own.However, what did not add up was why Minnie, a woman who had traveled the world and pampered her skin, would choose that no-name spot for her facials. She could pluck any salon from the streets of Avalon City and it would outshine that place in fame, size, and service.The moment Walter flipped to the first page, his instincts told him something was not right.He had a hunch that the rest of the report, even if it did not spell everything out, would point him toward the truth.He was right—the salon was at the heart of his suspicions.It was a place with no history and no reputation, yet its clientele was the city's elite, dropping thousands without a
