The awkward duo

Looks like someone is already impatient, Matthias thought, placing the document back into the folder. After thinking about it again and again, he took out the document once more from its folder. Then, he stood up and strode to the paper shredder. It’s better that no one else sees this, he decided, putting the document into the shredder.Before he moved here, that person already instructed him to defeat Hart Group, and not only did that person want Locke Group to take over Hart Group’s position in the business scene of Bradfort, but he even wanted to occupy the Hart Group.Back then, Matthias was devoted to his promise, but he was wavering now because he admired Tony and didn’t want to destroy the Hart Group. At least, he didn’t want to play the role of the villain as there were too many complicated relationships involved.In addition, he now had plans to be with Heather, so he really didn’t want to harm Hart Group. Compared to destroying Hart Group, he wanted to destroy Locke Group ev

All the coincidence

The atmosphere was a little awkward, causing the smile on Heather’s face to appear a little unnatural, but Myra merely took it that she was being shy. Completely unaware of the situation, Leon could neither understand why Heather was smiling so unnaturally nor the deep meaning behind Myra’s smile.“Are you here to pick out furniture, Myra?” Heather asked casually, trying her best to mask her awkwardness.Luckily, all of Myra’s attention was now on Leon. “I’m thinking of decorating the house,” she answered, turning her eyes to Heather.Now that she and Tony had moved back to his other house by themselves, Myra was rather free staying at home and wanted to do something. She wanted to make the house more cozy, and while she rubbed her unborn child in her womb, she had the idea to make the place a little more cute and angelic. Since she already had the thought, she had to start working on it. In one of those rare times when she would visit a furniture and bedding store, she unexpectedly b

In a flesh

All of a sudden, what was lovely weather turned into a massive downpour. Resting her arms on the window frame, Heather stared out of the window. As soon as they got to their seats, the unanticipated rain came storming.She observed the scurrying pedestrians outside the window and thought that the storm was unusual, given how it wasn’t reported in the weather forecast. There were only a few passersby who put up their umbrellas calmly. The messy scenery was indeed more captivating than the lifelessness inside the store.The unconcerned trio appeared particularly picturesque in this gloomy weather as they relaxed in the shop. Heather casually traced circles on the rim of her cup, looking especially elegant from the side—a view that stunned Leon, who was sitting opposite her.On the other hand, Myra looked extremely serene. An entirely different aesthetic, but no way lesser than that of Heather’s. Perhaps, thanks to the contrast in their personalities, this duo was able to stick around ea

Love gets deeper

Myra was visibly disappointed to hear him say that. During the times they had spent together, Heather was never especially flirtatious with Leon. On the other hand, Leon seemed enthusiastic whenever he looked at Heather. Then again, when Myra carefully recollected Leon’s gaze toward Heather, she realized there wasn’t much real passion in his eyes.Oh, Heather and her relationships! Forget about making progress with Philip, she can’t even do that with Lucas! Other than these two men, there were no other suitable men that Myra knew with the capabilities to fulfill her friend’s basic needs.“Stop worrying about Heather’s love life. She may have plans for herself.” Tony stated firmly as he got even more determined that there were some feelings between Heather and Matthias.Back when they bumped into Matthias in the spa, complication and frustration filled Heather’s eyes when she glared at him. To Tony, this gave their connection away.On the other hand, back at the tea place, the way Heat

Leon vulnerable moment

It was Heather’s first time bringing Leon back to the Langston Residence, so the sight of them walking side by side naturally attracted the attention of other pedestrians. Excited, Leon spat some meaningless chatter as he scanned around the residence.“It’s like a medieval castle! Ha!” He laughed loudly as he was astonished by the residence, as if it was one of the iconic buildings in Bradfort City, although he might have been exaggerating.“Shut up,” Heather muttered furiously as she was triggered by Leon’s running mouth.When it came to her, Leon would always find something about her to pick on. He would have so many teases building up in his mind that he had trouble finding words to express them.“Heather, is this why you’ve been reluctant to bring me to your residence?” Presently, Leon finally acknowledged that the reason Heather wouldn’t bring him home was to prevent him from making fun of her.“Shut up, I said. Is this how you behave as a guest?” Heather shot him a look from the

Amount uni life

Afraid that the old man would misunderstand, Leon hastily corrected, “I mean… Old Master Langston! It’s a force of habit. I hope you un—”“It’s fine. I understand,” Robert interrupted in the midst of Leon’s explanation.Leon was lucky that Robert was in a fairly good mood on top of Heather forgiving Leon for his slip up—as long as he didn’t further annoy her grandfather. When she first brought Myra home the other time, Robert had enjoyed Myra’s company. Even Myra herself loved to have his acceptance.Robert indeed seemed more amicable unlike Leon’s own grandfather, which allowed him to heave a breath of relief.“You’re the second friend whom Heather has ever brought home,” Robert suddenly stated. Upon hearing that information, Leon felt somewhat honored.Like an obedient granddaughter, Heather kept her gaze elsewhere while Leon would occasionally sneak a glance at her. Catching that, Robert attempted to figure out the nature of their relationship from their eyes. Sadly, nothing had at

Big bad boom

During dinner, Heather turned to Leon who was seated beside Robert. As if they had a tacit agreement, both Robert and Leon did not mention anything about the conversation they had back in the study room. As she approached her usual seat, the rest of the family entered the dining room accordingly. Upon entering the room, Everly instantly noticed the handsome lad sitting next to her grandfather.For him to show up here, he must be Heather’s acquaintance. Then, Everly took a quick peek at Heather and wondered, How could she attract so many men? There’s even a whole variety of them!With that, Everly couldn’t help but feel jealous as men wouldn’t notice her. Even if she became ten times prettier, no one would take a second glance at her.When her gaze fell upon Leon, he immediately noticed the admirable young lady and looked at her with interest.As Heather and Everly were sitting not far apart from each other, he could easily compare their beauty. Much to his surprise, Everly was remarka

The plot thickens

Heather would not allow herself to be toyed by Leon this time. Motionlessly staring at him, she intended to determine whether he was telling the truth by carefully studying the subtlest detail on his face.After relying on all his cards, he had finally calmed her down. Among the rescue teams, the firefighters were the first to arrive. Intrigued by the fire, more residents and passersby stopped by to observe the incident. It was the first time that the quiet area became so lively.Accordingly, the police arrived and brought Leon and Heather to the police station to file a report, although the duo didn’t share any information that was deemed useful. Seeing that she hid the text message from the police, he matched her actions with lies and stated that he had invited her over for a visit.After clearing their doubts toward the duo, the policemen eventually dismissed them in the middle of the night. Since bomb detonations were one of the deadliest crimes, the police claimed that they would

Am unconscious change

On Matthias’ way home, Heather initiated a call to keep him company—something she rarely did. With her usual dull tone, she chatted with him about whatever came to mind and before they realized it, Matthias had already reached home.When he entertained her with a joke Lara once told him, he could hear her subtle chuckle. Then, she stopped her giggle to inquire, “Are you home yet?” All along, she was sitting at her study desk, reading a book while chattering with Matthias.“Yup. Just got to park real quick.” Having much left to say to Heather, Matthias was reluctant to end the call as hearing her voice made him feel like she was right beside him. Swiftly, he parked the car into the garage and grabbed his phone as he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Heather didn’t hang up on him. What a pleasant surprise! he thought to himself. However, given the pile of mess they had gone through that night, nothing else could intrigue him anymore.“Heather,” he ecstatically called out. There were onl

Bombing investigation

Boom! The penetrating thunderclap shocked Heather awake. Hearing the wind howling, she immediately got out of bed to close the windows as the thunderstorm neared.The peace of yesterday had now turned into a heavy downpour. How spontaneous of the weather! Seeing that winter came early and how it rained more than usual, Heather couldn’t tell if it was her fault for getting too comfortable with the climate overseas or it was the weather which was being rather unpredictable.All at once, Heather, who disliked rain and abhorred thunderstorms, closed the window, effectively blocking the piercing thunder outside. The thunder went on for quite some time but it still hadn’t rained, and only a massive billow of grey clouds was seen filling up the sky.Upon seeing that, Heather thought to herself, This rain’s going to take years. Seems like I’m not going out today. Suddenly, she had an epiphany and dialed Leon’s number.Missing the first call, Leon reluctantly accepted the second. Hearing Heath
