Only alcohol could alleviate

Meanwhile, Leon was displeased with Heather’s words. She was obviously daring him to drink, for her words reminded him of the humiliation he felt back when he tried to make Heather drunk. In the end, he was the one who got drunk instead. “One should be seen in a new light after days of separation.” His command of English was extraordinarily good.“You’ll never drink me under the table.” While holding the bottle of brandy in her hand, Heather directly sat down across from Leon with a coffee table between them. For some reason, she looked cute while sitting on the stool, but no matter how cute she looked, no amount of that cuteness could hold out against the intimidating aura she gave off.“Get some ice,” Leon said to her.“It’s cold enough; it’s been in the fridge the whole time.” Heather looked at Leon coldly with a provocative look in her eyes. As someone who found Heather’s intimidating appearance cute during such a moment, Leon was a typical example of a person unafraid of death.“

Another day wasted

Speaking was sometimes an art; this was especially the case at this moment, for Leon’s question spoiled Heather’s mood just as it finally improved. Heather sometimes hated Leon for being so blunt. Even if he has seen through it, he shouldn’t disclose it. How should I answer this kind of question?Seeing how Heather didn’t answer him, Leon looked somewhat sheepish, and he started to forcibly change the subject again. “I’m feeling rather hungry.”“It’s not good to eat so much at night.” Heather went on with the subject. Since Leon had given her a way out, why shouldn’t she take this opportunity to get herself out of this?She thought to herself, It seems that it’s inappropriate to talk to anyone about Matthias. Even when I try to talk to Leon about Matthias, the conversation still ends on a sour note even though he’s an outsider. Any conversation automatically turns grave once it involves Matthias, and it seems like talking about this in a relaxed atmosphere is merely wishful thinking.

Both sides were testing

Matthias came to the office early in the morning to have a discussion with Nikolai regarding their next move against the Hart Group; it seemed that Tony was totally unbothered by Matthias’ act of provocation toward him.“Is Tony not planning to return to the Hart Group and call the shots?” In Matthias’ hand was a bunch of photos of Tony and Myra—they were currently on vacation overseas.Tony was bearing a grin in most of the photos. From the looks of it, he wasn’t worried about what was going on in his home country at all. Following that, Matthias’s gaze shifted toward Myra. The two of them looked like a match made in heaven; even Myra’s smile was exceptionally radiant. At that moment, it made Matthias recall the first time that she’d smiled at him many years ago.It was precisely her healing smile that had penetrated his heart like a beam of sunlight. Many moons later, her smile was still as tender and irresistible as before.Matthias let out a wistful sigh at the thought of that. He

Danger was right around

None of them mentioned anything about Bradfort City. In fact, there were a few occasions where Myra almost did, but she quickly swallowed her words. After all, Tony had previously told her that the problems were never-ending; even if he solved them all, something similar would probably arise again in the future.“Now that we’re far away from Bradfort, you seem to be in a much better mood than I am.” Myra and Tony were having an idle talk about their everyday life. Indeed, Tony had been smiling a lot more often recently.“Of course—it feels good to finally relax after working day and night,” said Tony in satisfaction. More importantly, he was blessed to have Myra by his side every day.To Tony, any day spent together with Myra was a happy one. When he thought about this, he swept her off her feet suddenly, earning a surprised shriek from her.“Be a good girl and go to sleep.” Tony headed to the bed with Myra in his arms.Then, he carefully put her down and leaned in closer to her, nuzz

Matthia too wised to

Since Matthias couldn’t be convinced, Nikolai didn’t continue persuading him. The latter didn’t want to meddle in his cousin’s way of solving the problem either. Matthias’ stubborn personality was no secret to anyone who knew him—Nikolai knew that all too well, but he was sure that Matthias would eventually come up with a perfect solution.It was getting late and Matthias was still in his office; Nikolai wanted to keep his cousin company but his offer was rejected. The man was brainstorming for a way to resolve the issue, and he had to let Myra know about this as soon as possible. His forehead furrowed deeply as he came to a conclusion at last—Heather was indeed the best candidate to help him out.Considering how badly things had gotten between them, Matthias wasn’t sure how he could face Heather. Moreover, deep inside, he hadn’t forgiven her as well.He rose from his seat and drew the curtains as he looked outside. Is she still spending time with that man right now?Just then, a sarc

Go after her if you want

Nikolai settled the matter in the blink of an eye without even letting him inside—he simply shoved the envelope of photos into the man’s hands. In truth, Nikolai already possessed the ability to face problems on his own even though he was still overly dependent on Matthias. Oftentimes, Matthias gladly let Nikolai handle things for him with no worries.Meanwhile, Matthias didn’t seem anxious at all; he was calm and composed as he gently swirled the glass of wine in his hand. Nikolai could never be sure of what was going on in Matthias’ head.It seemed that Matthias wasn’t holding back tonight—he drank glass after glass without waiting even for Nikolai to return. The latter frowned as he noticed what was happening; he was only away for a moment and Matthias had already finished half the bottle.“Slow down, Matthias. I bet you haven’t even had dinner!” Nikolai said out of concern.However, Matthias turned a deaf ear toward him and continued drinking on his own. As a result, Nikolai was u

Both of them were look at each other

Matthias waited all night long. Under the influence of alcohol, he pulled through and waited stubbornly in place. Meanwhile, Heather was finding it hard to fall asleep in her room; she didn’t take his words seriously and gradually dozed off as she blamed him for his absurd attitude in the middle of the night.The next day, Heather departed to work early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes—last night was simply the unluckiest night of her life. When she received some strange photos out of the blue, she contacted Myra immediately; only a fool wouldn’t understand what the photos actually meant.Because of that, Heather and Myra were on video call for a long time. Myra and Tony kept their guard up at once and decided to take note of the matter. After all, it was terrifying to be followed around by a stalker while they were on a trip overseas.After worrying about it for some time, Heather finally fell asleep out of drowsiness, only to be woken up by Matthias’ phone call. After

A ruthless woman

He hadn’t expected Heather to make such a move at all, and Matthias bumped into her vehicle head-on since it was too late for him to dodge her car. As he muttered an expletive under his breath, he immediately flung his arms over his head while his car shook violently.Perhaps no woman could be crazier than Heather. She staggered out of her car after the crash, and Matthias also got out of his car soon after that.Then, Heather stopped moving and fixed her unexpressive eyes that showed no sadness or joy on Matthias. Meanwhile, Matthias suppressed his anger and approached Heather step by step. He didn’t expect that Heather would actually do such a dangerous thing as to crash her car into his. “Are you insane, Heather?” he scolded loudly. Heather was simply courting death, for even Matthias didn’t have the nerve to do such a thing.However, Heather merely stared at Matthias without any response until he got close to her. Matthias could no longer conceal the anger on his face as he grabbe

Another trouble arises

This was precisely why Heather held Leon in special regard. In addition to being a highly-skilled hacker, Leon had some distinguishing qualities that were absent in other people. Such a person was a great help to Heather, so she was glad that she and Leon were friends instead of enemies. “Gifts for friends should only be the best, of course.” Heather attached great importance to gifts, so she always strove to give the best and the most suitable presents. Furthermore, she put a great deal of care and thought into the gifts she chose. She was an earnest person most of the time, though she didn’t know how attractive her personality was.“I don’t need anything—just prepare a table full of delicious dishes for me tomorrow.” Leon manifested a mysterious hint of danger. He had never tasted Heather’s cooking before, for the latter was always too stingy to cook for him. Therefore, he had been coveting the food she made.“It’s a deal,” Heather agreed without hesitation.“What’s the story about

A grandfather love

At this very moment, Heather could do nothing but resign herself to her fate; she could only be as good as gold in front of Robert. Upon recalling the deliberate car accident that morning, she had to admit that she was too impulsive at the time. Even though she had calculated in her mind that nothing serious would happen, she failed to take any possible mishaps into consideration. If she were to do it again, she wouldn’t have been so impulsive. After all, more problems were bound to follow when she decided to bump her car into Matthias’ vehicle.Since she didn’t want to be taken to the hospital, Heather cooperated with the doctor as he examined her under Robert’s hard stare. However, her own gaze made the doctor feel nervous during the examination. The look in her eyes gave him quite a lot of stress, and the doctor probably didn’t expect to run into such a patient.Just then, Robert quietly appeared in front of Heather and gave her a fierce glare, for her habit of scaring timid people
