Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 590

Belrose Avenue was a remote commercial area. Heather and Matthias would usually never visit such a place if it weren’t for Leon today—and how Leon even found this place was a mystery.

Fortunately for Matthias, the drive was smooth, and there were no traffic jams along the way. On the way here, Matthias didn’t care at all whether the road was congested—he drove extremely fast, and Heather didn’t stop his dangerous driving at all. The two of them paired together was a threat to the other drivers on the road; someone should really talk some sense into them about this.

However, Heather and Matthias weren’t ordinary people that one could just tell what to do. Perhaps it was because they’d never gotten into any serious accidents, but they’d become more and more reckless on the road; whoever was in the car with them would have their hearts in their throats.

On the other end, Leon had been urging Heather on Messenger to the point she had lost her patience, but he still refused to tell her what exactly the matter was, other than the fact that it was an official business matter.

There were countless guesses in Heather’s mind as to what kind of official business there could be at Belrose Avenue. When we see Leon later, I’ll have to teach him a lesson. It’d better be something big, or else Leon’s going to die a miserable death.

“Hey… your Messenger keeps ringing. What’s going on?” Matthias asked Heather, as he was no longer able to ignore the Messenger prompts.

Heather muted her phone, and immediately, there was no sound. Matthias figured Heather never played by the rules, so it wasn’t a surprise to him.

“When did your business expand to Belrose Avenue anyway?” Matthias asked again. He was also wondering what kind of official business there was to talk about at Belrose Avenue.

“I need silence.” Heather regretted sitting in the passenger seat. If she had known that Matthias would be this chatty, she would have sat in the backseat so he wouldn’t try to talk to her.

As soon as he heard that, Matthias immediately quieted down and stopped making any noises. Heather opened the Messenger app on her phone, still ignoring the flurry of incessant messages coming from Leon.

“Do you usually check the official accounts?” Heather casually searched for a topic. However, it was one that would catch people off guard.

“Official accounts?” Hearing Heather’s question, Matthias did give it a serious thought, but he really didn’t care about those official accounts on Facebook. He only felt strange that Heather would ask something like this out of the blue.

“Well, those Facebook or Instagram public accounts that were verified? Haven’t you heard of those?” Usually, even Heather wouldn’t care too much about these things, but she thought that it was something that everyone would know about.

“I don’t really pay attention to those things, though,” Matthias said casually. However, at the same time, he made a mental note to himself that he would look into it when he had the time.

“New media operations are in full swing now, you should know more about these.” Heather continued on this topic with Matthias as she was considering whether the company should grow toward this direction.

“I have always regarded this as only a mode of operation, and I will dedicate someone to see it through, but our operation mode will always be the same,” Matthias said nonchalantly, thinking that Heather’s focus was rather strange. Could it be that she wants to develop further into we-media? he thought to himself.

“Traditional companies have yet to develop into new media, and they take the importance of new media differently. Maybe my company will be able to find a shortcut for this.” Heather discussed her insight about her company with Matthias.

Before this, Heather had always been abroad and did not understand the development of the domestic new media, but recently, she did a little bit of research and developed an understanding that there was a lot of profit to be made there if managed properly.

“If you think it is feasible, why don’t you just carry on with it?” Matthias would agree with any decision Heather made. To her, starting a business was not about success or failure, but how successful it could be and how much one could achieve from it.

In fact, Matthias was very confident about Heather’s abilities. However, compared to his confidence in her, Heather didn’t have such confidence in herself at all. Ultimately, Heather was not worried about failure but rather that her goal could not be achieved. Her company had yet to be launched, but Heather already had a whole set of plans in her mind.

“Well, if we go according to my ideas, my company might never start at all,” Heather said bitterly as she recently had a different idea about starting a business.

“Are you tired of the industry? Or do you see yourself more clearly now?” Matthias understood Heather’s implication—it seemed that Heather’s interest and ambition no longer laid in the business industry.

“I’m neither tired of it, nor do I have a clear picture. Maybe this is why I am confused,” Heather said truthfully to Matthias. After all, there was no need to keep this from him.

“Since you are willing to tell me all this, does it mean that you’re going to leave the industry? To get away from the disputes?” Matthias continued to pry, hoping for Heather to speak the truth.

“Do you want me to leave the industry?” Heather was also a sensible person. Since Matthias was so concerned, there was naturally his own intentions to it.

“I only hope you can do whatever that you like.” Matthias never liked seeing Heather feel troubled—he hoped that one day, Heather could be honest to herself, as even he could feel that she didn’t like what she was doing now.

“Apart from building a world in the business industry, I can’t think of anything better to do.” Heather had always had this idea rooted in her heart, but her interest in it was getting more and more faded by the day.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Matthias dropped the topic, knowing that Heather didn’t want to talk about it further. Come to think of it, their topics of conversation were always so limited, and most of the time, they would be left with nothing to say.

The both of them couldn’t be like ordinary people, and together, they were more like business partners than anything else. Matthias had been trying to change this situation, but there hadn’t been much progress.

The main reason was that Heather didn’t want to cooperate. Many times when Matthias wanted to talk a little deeper with Heather, she would put up walls and walls of defenses, leaving Matthias no choice but to keep a distance.
