Tony has a new solution

As the door of the director’s office opened from within, Heather’s gaze fell on Tony. After a few days of not seeing him, he looked rather haggard and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.Wondering what kind of hardship he had endured for the past few days, she suddenly felt sorry for him. After all, she could tell that Myra was extremely important to him.He was not surprised when he saw her. Heather guessed that he had already received a call from the kidnappers, who had probably given them similar instructions. When she nodded to greet him, she saw a man standing next to Tony and thought that she had met the man somewhere.She narrowed her eyes as she thought, It’s a weird day today. I keep having a feeling that I’ve seen them somewhere.The man noticed her gaze and flashed a polite smile. However, she merely twitched her lips slightly as a reply.Heather would rarely reveal her smile to strangers. She was also usually indifferent and coldly treated people. Even if she had to fa

Becoming someone she isn’t

This time around, Heather did not immediately rush home to the Langston Residence. Instead, she headed to her office, where she had not gone for quite a while. Throughout the entire journey, she remembered that her company would officially start in another few days.As a result, there was a chance she would not be able to make it for the previously agreed appointment that she had with the Saffords and she felt quite guilty toward them.The moment she arrived at her office, she used her fingerprint to open the door. She felt fortunate that she had previously set up a biometric system that could capture fingerprints. Otherwise, she would not have the key with her now.Because it had been completely empty for such a long time, there was a musty odor in the office. She quickly opened the window to air the place.The Saffords also had the keys to the office, but it seemed that they had not been here for quite some time as well. Then, Heather switched the lights on.Even though it was still

Completion of the proposal

Now that things had progressed to such a state, Heather had also lost her urge to sleep. She spent the whole night making corrections to her end of the proposal. It had been quite some time since she pulled an all-nighter for work. She suddenly recalled her time in Europe while she was in charge of expanding the new market there; although the work was tiring and tough, she found the effort quite worthwhile.At this moment, dawn broke and she stood in front of the window while staring at the passersby below her. Life was ever-changing but to her, everything felt the same. The city life that she experienced now was leaden for her and it was completely different from what she’d envisioned.Heather would occasionally wonder whether there were people with superpowers present in this city. She had been seriously considering the matter of reality and the imaginary world during this timespan. Recently, she kept having the feeling that reality was very much like an illusion in Thailand whereas

Solve one problem at a time

ely, the Saffords were rather worried that the opening day of their company would be affected.As soon as Paige heard Heather’s words, she felt slightly appeased. She hasn’t been actively keeping in contact with me for such a long time that I was worried she no longer cares about the starting of our company.“Of course we can.” Paige’s face significantly brightened. Frankly, she bore a slight grievance against Heather and it was at that moment when all of her unhappy feelings dissipated. Heather had noticed Paige’s awkwardness, but she understood that it was quite normal for Paige to be upset. It was much better for Paige to express it than to suppress her feelings and secretly resent Heather.“I know I’ve been quite lax about the company, so I understand that you must be quite resentful about it.” Heather’s soft tone was quite different from before.Meanwhile, Paige felt slightly embarrassed by Heather’s words. She’d already expressed her displeasure, so there was no need to keep har

No information to prepare

Before he left, Leon dialed 911 in kindness on behalf of the person who was sprawled on the ground. He knew that the person would not reveal anything unnecessarily once he regained consciousness.Occasionally, Leon hated those reporters who tend to make up stories. It was at that moment when he tightly clenched the negative of a photo with his hands while having an ugly expression on his face. There were some secrets that should not exist in this world. Meanwhile, he tucked the negative into his pocket and decided that he would find an appropriate spot to destroy it.He drove his car to meet Heather at their designated meeting point. It had been ages since he’d last gone to that place. In fact, he quite liked that location because there were plenty of beautiful women there.As soon as Leon hastily pushed open the door, he noticed Heather waiting for him at a spot next to the window; the rays of sunlight splashed on her face and she looked quite exquisite to the extent that he found it

The secret is out

The situation became quite tense at that moment. While Heather considered in her mind how to broach the subject with Leon, he was also trying to figure out what to do next. Both of them looked at each other while looking lost.“Heather, as far as I’m aware, you recently seem to be overly close with a particular hotshot detective,” he asked tentatively. He was considering whether he should mention it since it was something private.Meanwhile, she was slightly taken aback before she gave him a strange look. “Looks like you’ve been following my tracks,” she said this with a hint of annoyance.Leon never expected Heather to say those words. I really need to be careful with my words around women. He felt like he had fallen into a trap once again. At that moment, he responded by looking at her with a dumbfounded expression “I swear I didn’t secretly trail you! Heather, someone took a photo of you with the detective.”Upon hearing that, her expression slightly changed. She persisted and aske

The unknown identity

Both of them silently communicated via eye contact. At that instance, Heather found the situation quite ridiculous. How can Leon be so confident?! She then rebuked, “Zayne will figure out a better solution.”Meanwhile, Leon did not know Zayne that well, but he reckoned that he was as good as the detective in terms of investigating someone’s background. As a result, Leon was quite sure that Zayne would not be able to find any substantial information.“I just want the sketch from you. Stop talking so much,” she replied with an annoyed tone. “Let’s switch positions.” The congested traffic in front of them was quite frustrating and she reckoned since there was so much time to spare, she might as well ask Leon to sketch the reporter’s features.He begrudgingly switched positions with her. It was quite awkward for them to switch positions in the car. From the outside, she looked like she was in his arms. Meanwhile, he tried hard to maneuver his position; their current poses were extremely i

The actually happened

Although Leon was aware that Heather had been privately keeping in contact with Zayne recently, he had no idea where Zayne currently was. While they were on the way, Leon stared at the scenery outside with curiosity and he noticed that the route they took was further away from town.The route they took looked much more remote than his mansion. In fact, there were plenty of places to hide in the outskirts of Bradfort City and it certainly wasn’t an easy feat to locate someone.“This is quite secluded and not many people would make their way here.” Leon wondered why he had never chosen to search for a place here to stay, especially when he loved the style of houses here.“You’ve been giving comments all this while. Don’t you find it amusing?” Heather had to bear with his verbosity throughout the whole journey. How can he come up with many flighty thoughts all of a sudden?!He laughed out loud. “I didn’t want you to feel awkward.” Previously, when they were together, there was no awkward

The persistent of the orientation

The encounter did not transpire as per Leon’s expectations and he was quite disappointed as a result. Nonetheless, he realized that disappointment was a common thing one encountered in life, so he didn’t remain dejected for long.Zayne had noticed everything and stared at Leon for some time before he spoke, “Perhaps it’s because I haven’t had to personally deal with many cases over the years.”Leon couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile as soon as he heard Zayne’s reply. After all, he had grasped Zayne’s dark sense of humor.“I think so too.” The topic had ended with Zayne’s answer. Leon didn’t continue to pursue the matter as he felt that he should respect Zayne’s privacy. Zayne’s private life had nothing to do with him anyway.Both of them busied themselves with their own tasks tacitly while Heather remained outside the room. She stared at the tightly shut door with a look of realization, Looks like it was a good idea to bring Leon with me. I should have known that it would b

More people involved

After taking Heather’s phone with him, Zayne’s facial expression slightly changed. Leon, who was busy, raised his head to look at Zayne and saw her phone in his hands. She had never allowed people to touch a personal belonging such as her phone, so he was curious as to how Zayne managed to have her phone. When Zayne had noticed Leon’s gaze, he gave an honest smile, which made Leon confused. However, this was not Leon’s main concern. As the search was about to come to an end, he quickly returned his focus to the laptop again. Zayne walked to his working desk and placed the phone on the table. He looked at the profile picture of the person on Messenger, which was a picture of a wooden sword. The person seemed to love wooden swords. He quickly clicked into the man’s F******k profile and immediately saw a link that would bring the viewer to motivational pages. Zayne’s expression slightly changed because after perusing the entire profile, he could not locate any pictures whatsoever. Hi
