Leon’s request

There was a tacit understanding between them. Truth was, Heather had long noticed Leon’s complicated thoughts beneath his carefree character that he portrayed.She entered the villa behind him, keeping a distance of barely a step away from him. At this moment, she felt dejected somehow, as she knew that she might be giving in a lot more this time.The large living room was spacious and empty. Leon gestured to her to take a seat at the couch, while he moved a chair very close to her before sitting on it.He then beamed at her. As a matter of fact, he had been waiting for her arrival and he dared not leave home for fear that he would miss her.“Heather, why are you suddenly so courteous toward me?” He cocked his head to one side, wearing an expression that was as innocent as a child’s.“I can’t rely on you for everything.” She had started to reflect on herself and found that she was becoming more and more dependent on him, which was not a good sign.It would be understandable if Heather

Heather went down

The Langston Residence was still the same as ever. It had been refurbished a few times over the years in order to keep up with the latest trends, but all that still seemed tacky to Heather. At this very moment, a sense of familiarity welled up inside her—nothing could compare to this feeling that she felt now when she finally returned home. The security guard at the door noticed her and smiled at her, and Heather, who had always been indifferent, returned the smile this time. He gaped at her from behind, shocked by her amiable attitude that she seldom revealed in front of others. The next instant, he blushed—nobody could resist her smile. She walked to the living room and when she was passing by the garden, she gently touched the blooming flowers with her hand. At that moment, she immersed herself in the beauty of the scenery, for she knew that the Langstons would be destroyed in the near future. In the living room, Robert was talking to the butler when Heather tiptoed to his side.

What are you doing?

The grandfather and granddaughter stared at each other for a long time. It gave Heather the confidence that Robert’s heart had started to sway, so she persisted in trying to convince him. Without his help, she would never succeed in this matter.Unlike Tony, she didn’t have control of the Langston Group. For her to play this game, she would need to have Robert’s support.“I know you must be thinking that I owe you so much, Heather. Alright, then. I’ll support you whole-heartedly this time,” he finally promised, just as Heather expected.“Thank you, Grandpa.” Only then did she stand up. This was her first time kneeling for someone and it would be her last.“Remember that the Langston Group must live on, Heather, so think twice before you do anything,” he exhorted. While Robert was willing to give her the power, he still hoped she would be careful.“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I will do my best to protect the Langston Group.” After all, Heather cared about the group as well, and would never r

Let’s go to a night market

Listening to Matthias’ voice, Heather closed her eyes in enjoyment. Throughout the journey, there weren’t many cars along the way. A moment later, she opened her eyes again and his voice was still sounding from the other end of the line.“Can you stay on the line?” Heather murmured, suddenly reluctant to hang up as she wanted to keep talking to him.Matthias was surprised at her request and he was taken aback for a moment before responding, “Of course.”The topics of their conversation were random as they immersed themselves in each other’s voices. At this moment, Matthias had slowed down his driving speed because he had to divide his attention into chatting with Heather.“Was Singapore that fun?” he asked curiously as he listened to Heather’s story about the country. Truth was, it sounded pretty interesting.“Yes. You’ll definitely like that place,” Heather said with a smile, as if Matthais was right in front of her.“Let’s visit Singapore together when we have the chance, then.” Alt

Bargaining is actually fun

A moment later, the seller came back to his senses and quickly explained, “My accessories are all handmade. Twenty is the best price I can give.”Looking at the pendant in her hand, Heather tilted her head and asked with a smile, “Is it really handmade?” Her piercing eyes had the seller going speechless.The key point of bargaining was to catch the other party’s weak point. Seeing that the seller was hesitating, she hurriedly seized the opportunity and countered, “What about ten?”Hearing that, Matthias got even more surprised and he was starting to think that she had gone off the deep end. Something is not right! As their bargain continued, Heather became even more excited, as if she really wanted the pendant.It had been a long time since someone came bargaining by cutting half of the price. After all, it was a small item and it wouldn’t be profitable for the seller to sell it at a measly ten. Hesitantly, the seller looked at Heather and muttered, “I… won’t be able to earn from it.”

Interesting old man

After the two exchanged glances, Heather said to the stall owner, “I don’t like free gifts.”The stall owner seemed to have expected that she would respond in this way and he countered, “Oh dear! I know I look like a con man when I give away the cross necklace like that.”Never did they expect that the stall owner would be so straightforward as he started muttering to himself. Surprised, Heather and Matthias looked at each other, thinking that this stall owner was interesting.“Actually, this necklace is related to you. It’s not an ordinary cross necklace. It has a long history behind it.” The stall owner was really talkative and he had been talking nonstop even though Heather and Matthias did not respond to him.Feeling bored, Heather replied, “How long is the history?” She glanced at the cross necklace. How could she know when she was not an expert in this field?“That’s a good question. Look at this cross necklace.” The owner picked up the necklace as he spoke before he handed it t

We are lovers

On the way back to the Langston Residence’, Heather did not utter a word. Looking at her, Matthias guessed that she might still be thinking about the cross necklace. There were times where he wanted to talk to her, but he eventually gave up.Even until she exited the car, he had no intention of talking to her as he was in a dilemma. Recalling how she had been acting abnormally for the past few days, he finally had something figured out. As much as many things could be left aside for the time being, but once they were brought up, everything would completely change.“Heather,” Matthias reluctantly called out to her.Upon hearing his voice, she turned around and with a faint smile on her face, she replied, “I’m heading back. Don’t miss me too much.” Just by a glance at Matthias’ face, Heather knew what was on his mind.After thinking about it for a moment, he stepped forward and stared at her unblinkingly. Knowing him well enough, she had already guessed his next move.She immediately st

Practicing to be a fake couple

After resisting for a while, Leon could not help but laugh out loud. Then, he waved to Heather. “It’s too difficult.” He could not even continue to stare at her and burst out laughing continuously, as if his laughing point had been triggered.Annoyed by his actions, Heather pointed at him as she asked, “Can you be more serious?” I’m so mad at him that I can’t wait to tear him apart.He tried to stop himself from laughing, but he was actually quite fearful. All of his laughter was to mask the uneasiness within him. In the past, he always imagined how it would be like if he and Heather were together as a couple. Although his wish was now granted, he felt uneasy.Even Leon himself thought that he was quite annoying, but he did not have the courage to look into Heather’s eyes as he was feeling guilty. Even though he did not force her, he could not get past his own mental barrier.“What the hell do you want?” she emphasized helplessly. Leon did not even reply to her, which made her quite t

Humans can be very confusing

The moment Leon reminded Heather about it, he also felt that it was necessary for them to create a piece of big news. Once they had made their fake relationship official, it was much easier for the rest of their plans to continue.“Heather, would it seem too deliberate?” he asked worriedly. If he announced their relationship two days before their family party, it seemed rather obvious that he simply found a woman to ward Dave off.“Maybe we should double confirm one thing: does he mind if you lie to him? Heather still had not fully understood Leon’s current situation. She only knew that he needed to find a fake girlfriend for the moment to appease his grandfather.“Of course. He hates it when people lie to him.” When he was younger, he had seen what happened to a man who lied to his grandfather. He still felt fear every time he remembered that.She slapped Leon’s head. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Since he doesn’t want you to lie to him, you should tell him the truth!” She was qui

The new secretary

Upon seeing the current situation, Heather felt that she had nothing else to talk to Leon about anymore. Looking at him in disappointment, she said, “I think I need to calm down.”The plans that she formulated in her mind were completely disrupted. She had lost all interest in them and she only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.Meanwhile, he had no idea how he had antagonized her. She suddenly became rather frightening, making him fearful to continue speaking for the fear that she might suddenly slap him.“Heather, did I say something wrong just now?” he asked remorsefully, thinking that he must have annoyed her because of what he had said earlier.“I think I’m going to reconsider our collaboration plan.” Heather did not seem like she was joking at all. Looking at how serious she was in her eyes, Leon became even more worried. Even up until now, he could not figure out what had gone wrong here.When she rose to leave, he pulled her. “Heather, did I anger you? Where are y
