What if I drink on an empty stomach

After shopping for wine in the middle of the night, Heather and Leon went home. He opened the vehicle’s trunk and took out a wooden box from it which contained several bottles of wine they had just bought. The weight was nothing to Leon, and obviously it didn’t matter to Heather as well. However, she thought it would be more suitable for the man to carry it. The wind blew through Leon’s hair before Heather reached out to fix it. It was quite cold outside at night, and she wanted to return quickly to the warm room while Leon followed closely behind her at that moment. “You have to drink all of this, Heather. Otherwise, you’ll be sorry.” He pouted adorably. Sometimes, he looked like an overgrown child. “Yeah, don’t worry.” She nodded, wondering why he was so stubborn and how much the incident back then had hurt him. “Hurry up and get in,” said Heather to Leon as she stepped into the elevator. As he carried the box of wine, he smiled. Many times, Heather envied him for his ‘ca

Openly admitting her love

The kitchen was in total chaos—Heather was busy cooking while Leon washed the ingredients at one side. They didn’t have any fresh fruits and vegetables, so Heather eventually solved the embarrassing problem by placing an online delivery. Indeed, everything was easier with the use of smartphones these days. “You weren’t like this when you used to cook, Heather. Why does it seem like you can’t do anything well today?” Damn it, why is Leon being so honest with his words? Heather was already nervous and jittery at the moment, and she almost exploded in anger upon hearing Leon’s frank remark. “Shut up! Have you finished washing the ingredients?” Heather glared at Leon. Perhaps he shouldn’t have let her cook personally; they could’ve ordered takeout! “Is there something you’re not telling me, Heather?” Just then, Leon leaned in close to her daringly, but he failed to notice the woman’s darkening expression as he did so. How could Leon still have the audacity to make such an outrageou

Maturing often comes

Before long, three days passed by in a flash. When their stay had come to an end, Leon was a little reluctant to leave. He turned to take another look at the villa, unsure of when he’d be visiting again—after all, he had bought this villa to be some sort of a vacation home.“Head over to Nordico Residence,” Heather said to Leon as he sat in the driver’s seat.Leon blinked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant by that.Heather quickly explained at the sight of his confusion. She said, “I recently bought a unit there. Someone as lazy as you should just stay in an apartment.”When Leo realized that Heather had bought him a place, a brilliant smile appeared on his face. “You treat me so well, Heather.”Later on, Heather finally drove away on her own after making sure that Leon was settled in. Instead of going back to the Langston Residence at once, she went to visit Myra instead.When she knocked on Myra’s door, a hint of nervousness filled her heart; it made her recall all tho

Heather had completely

Robert pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and a frown appeared between his brows as he stared at Heather intently; he couldn’t tell if her change was for the good or bad.“I’ve come to realize something recently, Grandpa—the past shouldn’t affect the present,” said Heather with utmost sincerity. She had learned some valuable lessons from Myra, so she hoped that Robert could understand them as well.“Are you talking about what happened between you and Myra?” In truth, Robert was aware of everything. Heather’s unusual behavior was probably sparked by Myra.In actual fact, she owed some of the enlightenment to Matthias as well. Without knowing it, her lips curled upward at the thought of the man. She knew that Matthias wanted nothing more than for her to resolve the long line of conflict with Myra. The matter had become very much complicated since it involved the three of them.“More accurately, it’s what happened between me, Myra, and Matthias.” Heather intentionally emphasize

Wanting to reach

The two people shared silent looks at the table, for Heather’s answer came as a total shock to both Robert and Everly. Heather had spent many years getting to where she was today, and they were surprised that she would give away her precious position in the company just like that.“This can’t be right, Grandpa!” Everly shirked away from the responsibility at once.How could Everly possibly accept that offer? Heather’s position was only one step away from the highest authority, and there were thousands of employees under her management. Everly couldn’t take it from her no matter what.“Are you doubting yourself, Everly?” The smile on Heather’s face carried a hint of provocation. It was as though she was challenging Everly to take her offer.“I… I…” Everly stuttered. She didn’t know what to say; after all, Heather’s unconditional confidence in her made her feel a little ashamed. She felt that she wasn’t worthy of such trust.“I know that you’ve gained a deep understanding of the Langsto

Love is only consummation

After patting Everly on the shoulder, Heather said impassively, “Just be rest assured. I believe that you’re totally capable of dealing with it using your capabilities.” She had stressed this many times; what Everly lacked the most at present was self-confidence, so Heather had to find a way to build it up.However, Heather’s lips curled into a sneer when she walked out of the woman’s room. She spotted something she shouldn’t have seen inside, and it truly surprised her because she hadn’t expected Everly to be involved with that man. This gave her quite a headache, but she had to let Everly join the Langston Group smoothly for now. Right now, Heather had to take three aspects into consideration; she had never expected Everly to become a key figure, but she didn’t think this was a bad thing. Now that things had come to such an extent, she could only take one step at a time and act according to the circumstances.It was never by chance that Everly had caught Heather’s attention, for the

Selling out his buddy

Despite his bantering suggestion, Matthias didn’t think Heather would be willing to let him visit the Langston Residence. He wasn’t hopeful about this, but he had a little bit of anticipation deep down inside after the string of surprises today. As she stirred the coffee with a spoon in her hand, Heather looked at Matthias while exuding an alluring charm. They looked at each other, but Matthias couldn’t fathom the message in her eyes for a moment. “Do you like to hide from the snow at the Langston Residence?” Heather’s eyes flickered as an unspeakably seductive charm emanated from her. “In that case, why don’t we go to my place instead?” Matthias asked suggestively in return. In any case, he just wanted to be with Heather, but he didn’t know whether she understood what he meant. Heather stopped what she was doing. “I’m not interested.” Her resolute reply extinguished all Matthias’s fantasies. It seemed that Heather was still who she was, so Matthias shouldn’t cherish any fanciful

I just hope for someone

Matthias looked at Evan sympathetically. He didn’t know what Heather would do next, but it seemed that he could only trouble Evan for this. In reality, he was looking forward to it deep down inside as well. Even though a dancing man wasn’t worth watching in his opinion, he hadn’t seen Evan dance for a long time. Obviously, Matthias had sold Evan out to please Heather. Upon realizing what had happened, Evan looked at Matthias furiously. So what if he was an all-around butler? Matthias couldn’t make him do whatever he wanted him to do. Seeing how the two buddies had fallen out and turned against each other, Heather smiled unapologetically. “Aren’t you two getting inside?” She entered the villa first on her own. Then, she pricked up her ears and listened as Matthias and Evan whispered to each other. “Why would you want me to dance?” Evan asked in displeasure; even his deliberately lowered voice couldn’t conceal his anger. Meanwhile, Matthias didn’t know how to explain the matter to Ev

You are the only one

Heather could hear their clothes fluttering in the wind. She tried hard to gaze far into the distance as she wanted to look into the nothingness.However, Matthias blocked her view with his own body. “Why won’t you look at me?”Heather withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Matthias’ face again. “When in your life did you feel most confused?”Matthias curled his lips into a smile. “Right now,” he answered honestly. Like Heather, he wouldn’t have known there would be such feelings of loss in his life had he not been in an unforgettable relationship.When Evan came with the fruit platter, Heather and Matthias were still in the same posture. They’re just bullying me since I’m still single, Evan thought to himself, and his resentment as a single person was instantly unleashed. “Do you need some fruit, sir?” His voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it interrupted Heather and Matthias.Heather freed herself from Matthias embrace, upon which the latter turned to look at Evan with a d

The bottom line

Meanwhile, Tony was sitting upright in the living room of another villa in Bradfort City. Myra’s head was lowered, and the atmosphere between them was extremely tense. Tony had made a special effort to redecorate the entire living room lately to cheer Myra up. The chic Japanese-style decor was quite different from the previously affordable and luxurious European-style decor, and it gave the house an entirely new look.There weren’t any servants in the living room. Tony sipped on the tea he held up before his eyes, and its bitter taste instantly overwhelmed his taste buds. On the other hand, Myra, who was lowering her head, had an unfathomable expression on her face. None of them spoke.“Tony.” Myra looked up with a somber expression on her face.Tony put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Myra in a daze. There was some distance between them, and this awkward distance seemed to mirror their current situation. A person’s trust could crumble in an instant sometimes.“Why would you
