Dating is such an annoying

On the way to the office, Heather was still thinking about what Robert said in the morning. The deep meaning in his words was food for thought. In contrast to Robert, Blake’s tricks weren’t even worth mentioning. In fact, she felt like Robert was implying something to her.She was unsure if she was overthinking, but she could vaguely feel that Blake was just putting up a guise. It seemed like even though Robert was old, he still had a big ambition.It appeared that Bradfort City was going to be lively in the near future. Both Locke Group and Hart Group weren’t one to be messed with, and Robert didn’t intend to get involved with any of them because he was planning to sit back and reap the benefits later.No wonder he had been so angry today. Before this, Heather tried to get Langston Group and Hart Group to cooperate with each other, and now she was entangled with Locke Group.At that moment, remorse welled up in her heart. She realized that she was only causing trouble to Robert. Alth

Bad days at Locke residence

When they returned to Locke Residence, Matthias wasn’t smiling and Regan had an unpleasant look on his face as he walked behind Matthias. Seeing their appearance, the head of the family thought they had another dispute. At that point, the two of them were the most outstanding members of the Locke Family. Unfortunately, Regan’s status wasn’t as legitimate as Matthias’.Although the Locke Family was prosperous, the most prosperous ones would be the younger generation. Among the elders, the head of the family was the eldest. Matthias’ father had passed away a long time ago.Regan was the child of Matthias’ aunt, and Regan’s father was a live-in son-in-law of the Locke Family. In fact, Regan contributed more to the Locke Family, but because of his status, he was always pushed down by Matthias.The head of the family knew all of this.

That’s not what you said

By the time Heather saw Matthias, it was already three days later. Matthias, who had returned from Tasnia City, was a little more depressed. He must have gone through something in Tasnia City as his spirit was gone, and even his gaze on Heather was empty and listless.“Is something the matter?” It was a stiff opening. It seemed like he wasn’t in a good mood.Heather was a little regretful to come to him at this time. Seeing his appearance, everything she wanted to say was all stuck in her throat.“It’s nothing.” After a long time, she managed to speak. Seeing his deadpan look, she wanted to forget about talking to him.However, her attitude angered him. She was part of the reason he had rushed back, and yet she had dismissed him so easily.“That’s not what you said three days ago.” His angry face leaned toward Heather, who was already uncomfortable with him staring at her, let alone at such a close range.“Stay away from me, Matthias.” Heather wasn’t one to be messed with as well.

Regan! The finance director

In the morning, Matthias came back to life. Sweeping away yesterday’s gloom, he became cynical again. Meanwhile, Evan prepared a hearty breakfast for him. Looking at the table full of desserts, Matthias frowned slightly. He felt sick even just looking at them.“Have some sweet food. It will improve your mood,” Evan said with conviction, causing Matthias to roll his eyes. Sometimes, he felt like Evan was androgynous, and occasionally he would act rather feminine.“Don’t you know my preference?” he asked rather resignedly. He didn’t like strong flavors. Instead, he preferred if everything was in moderation.Shrugging, Evan ordered a maid standing by, “Take all the desserts away.”Matthias glared at him in response. What was he going to eat if the desserts were taken away? There was only congee left. This was clearly a form of revenge from Evan, but Evan ignored the vicious stare from him.Then, Matthias had his breakfast and left for work. After the fuss with Evan this morning, his mood

It’s all one sided

Whenever Regan was around, Matthias wouldn’t feel at ease, so he decided to head out. Recalling how he treated Heather yesterday, he felt that something was wrong, so he simply came up with a reason to go see her.However, she didn’t like how Matthias would come looking for her so frequently at the office. On the contrary, Blake was rather glad to see him visit, which was why Matthias had always been given access to Langston Group.At this moment, Heather, who was busy working, heard someone was at the door, so she instinctively said, “Come in.”Who knew Matthias would be the one to come through the door? Of all the people it could’ve been, it was the person she didn’t want to see the most. She was already stressed out because she had tons of documents to go through, and Matthias coming here only made her even more agitated.“I’m working and have no time for personal matters,” she said coldly, wishing he’d just leave her alone as soon as possible.“I’m here to discuss work.” It wasn’t

On the other side of the story

Meanwhile, Myra—who was on the other side of the globe—still would not let Heather go; she wanted to know about the relationship between Heather and Matthias. Even Tony was speechless as Myra was still so concerned about other matters while they were on a honeymoon.“Since when did you start to like gossiping?” After Tony snatched Myra’s phone away, she looked up at him.She was met with a naked body with a muscular chest and solid abs. He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, and he sure looked inviting as male hormones emanated off his body.“There must be something going on between Heather and Matthias.” She immediately shifted her gaze away before she started to drool because of how hot he looked.“Do you remember our promise?” he asked with a serious face. With a pair of shades covering his eyes, she could not tell whether he was mad or joking.“Tony, are you unhappy?” At once, she knew what she did wrong before he had to point it out.“I just hope that someone will keep th

Heather and Leo’s reunion

At the airport, Heather was waiting patiently for Leon. From time to time, people would let their gazes linger on her for an extra few seconds. She had a great figure and she easily stood out despite standing in a crowd.When Leon strutted out from the VIP tunnel of the airport, he spotted her immediately. From afar, he waved at her energetically.“Heather,” he called out. Meanwhile, she smiled at the sight of him.“Come here,” she said succinctly as she waved back at him.As he had long legs, it didn’t take him much time before he was standing right in front of her. He was smiling from eye to eye and he looked so warm and welcoming.“Heather, you’re the most attractive person among the crowd. You totally outshine all the other women.” With that, he opened his arms wide, attempting to give her a hug.However, she was quick to avoid it. Scrutinizing him, she immediately had him stand there without trying anything funny. It took one gaze from her to stop him from being hyperactive. Init

Relationship were inexplicable

While Heather had been hanging out a lot with Leon lately, the reporters had been busy too. They were always around to tail them, one more skillful than the other. The Langston Family were already very furious when the newspaper and magazine wrote nonsense about her relationship with Matthias. Nonetheless, it did not stop them from prying around after that incident.This time, Leon was the one who noticed the paparazzi. It was truly a displeasure to find that out while they were just trying to have a meal. However, it was hard to tell whether she was mad or not as she had a calm and composed expression.“Heather?” He was asking for her opinion as to how to deal with it. After all, they were in her city, so it was only appropriate to let her decide.She simply shook her head in response. She was smart so she must have noticed the reporters already, but she simply chose not to do anything about it so that the media would have its way.Giving her a confused face, he did not understand wh

Why not become a true lover

Having locked eyes with Heather for a while, Matthias closed the distance between them. Those tired eyes that were staring at her made her feel uncomfortable. She hadn’t expected that he would appear before her in such a way. Looking in another direction, she knew she shouldn’t be feeling sorry for him, yet she couldn’t help it.“You don’t even dare to look at me now?” Angered, he looked at her as he continued to ask himself why he was here. Did he come to be her laughing stock?“If there’s nothing, I’m leaving.” She was oblivious as to where his anger was coming from. She could not understand his feelings, and she was failing to distinguish when he was telling the truth and when he was not.“I’m here to ask you to abide by the contract,” he suddenly said as he pulled out a bunch of pictures from his pocket.Taking a glance at the pictures he was showing her, she saw Leon captured in those pictures immediately. As expected, he was here because of Leon.“He’s my friend,” she said coldl

Different ways of thinking

Matthias released Heather from his embrace while trying to calm himself down. His behavior on this day was too abnormal; how could he hot-headedly come to Heather while his life was still in a mess? Still, he showed no signs of forgiveness after becoming much calmer. “Now that you’ve ruined my relationship, you have to pay the same price.”Matthias couldn’t stay calm whenever it occurred to him that Heather would be together with another man, for he would never allow her to be happy with someone else. He was fixated on Heather the same way he was fixated on Myra. No matter what, Heather had to be bound to him; even if their relationship was an unhappy one, they would stay unhappy together.“That’s boring,” Heather uttered indifferently. The more Matthias spoke in an imperative tone, the more she wanted to oppose him. No one could boss Heather around, and she would not show signs of weakness even in the face of Matthias’s domineering behavior. Now that the guilt she felt toward Matthia
