Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 667

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 intimate and he could feel his heart beat frantically.

Heather heard his deepened breaths by her ear and she warningly coughed twice. As such, Leon finally regained his senses because her body fragrance had previously made him feel quite lustful.

“Heather,” he spoke awkwardly.

Meanwhile, she responded coldly, “Hurry up and produce the sketch.” Then, she flung a piece of paper and a pen at him. In fact, his drawing skills were quite mediocre and added to the fact that there wasn’t much equipment available, he was quite worried that his end result would be a flop.

Leon stared at the pen in his hand and he said dejectedly, “Do you have a pencil?” At least with a pencil, I can come up with a decent graphite drawing.

Meanwhile, Heather rolled her eyes at him, “I told you to do the sketch while we were at your place, but you refused. Right now, only this pen is available and you have no other option.”

After noting her cold and indifferent tone, he felt that his life was quite miserable. It seemed that every move he made was now offensive to her.

He decided that he couldn’t allow her to persistently dislike him. As such, he took the pen in his hand and begrudgingly started on the sketch. He tried his best to come up with an accurate sketch of the person’s features; he closed his eyes and recalled the person’s looks as his hands moved deftly to sketch it.

Suddenly, the cars in front started to move. Leon freaked out slightly at the sudden movement. My sketch is nearly ruined! Meanwhile, Heather maintained her concentration on the cars in front of her unblinkingly. As for him, he resignedly looked at her side profile and lamented, Well, there’s no way I would lose my temper at her.

He couldn’t help but to remind, “Heather, can you be more careful while you’re driving? I’m sketching here.” He found that women were generally complicated beings and he realized that it was getting harder for him to comprehend what was on their minds.

She shot him a look as she realized in her heart, I was extremely rude earlier. I need him to come up with a good sketch of the reporter’s features so that we can all benefit from it. Then, she nodded in response.

Meanwhile, Leon continued his effort on his sketch. He previously didn’t pay much attention to the reporter’s looks. Now that he tried to recall it, he realized that the person had a general face that wasn’t memorable.

He now found it quite difficult to come up with a three-dimensional sketch of the reporter’s features. A handsome person would leave an impressionable memory to one and the same thing applied to an exceptionally ugly person as well. However, it was exactly such an unassuming, ordinary person that one found it hard to recall any details at all when needed.

At that point, Heather noted Leon’s torn expression. She stared at the piece of paper in his hands; he had sketched a figure right in the middle. She squinted and thought, Gosh, I can’t believe Leon’s drawing skills are worse than mine!

“Why don’t you try sketching him using your phone?” She couldn’t help but point that out. The drawing he produced with the pen had quite a baffling effect.

Leon’s brows furrowed into a single line. “Heather, you should have suggested that earlier!” Right now, he had a faint suspicion that she was intentionally toying with him. I’m just about to complete the drawing, but now she’s suggesting that I sketch using my phone?!

“I’m starting to worry about your level of intelligence,” Heather mocked. He doesn’t seem to be using much of his brains lately, though?

Meanwhile, he scrunched up the paper in his hands with displeasure. I can’t believe I made such a silly mistake. As for her, she tried hard to stifle her laughter as she observed from the side. It was in fact an impulsive move that made her fling the paper and pen at him.

At this moment, she knew that he must have felt rather gloomy, so she considered whether to comfort him. She noticed that he had maintained his silence with a downcast face and after further consideration, she decided not to do anything.

Heather couldn’t sense Leon’s ulterior moves and tactics at all while she was with him. Furthermore, he kept making careless mistakes, so how could someone like him possibly cross the line and make such a drastic move?

She stared at his flawless side profile as the emotions swirled within her. Now, she was keen to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, but she no longer trusted him deep in her heart.

Meanwhile, Leon was busy sketching on his phone, so he didn’t notice the complicated look in Heather’s eyes. His eyebrows would usually be furrowed whenever he was focused on work and at that moment, his hands moved swiftly as he sketched.

Leon finally grasped the technique as he found himself becoming quite adept at sketching. Soon, a portrait materialized. However, he noticed that it was different from the image in his mind, so he continued to make changes to it.

As the traffic congestion started to clear, Heather drove forward at high speed. It took some time for him to lift his head and finally, he managed to complete the sketch in his hands on his phone.

He reached out to place his phone in front of Heather, whose full concentration was on driving, and she quickly glanced at it. Then, her mouth curved into a smile. Leon’s drawing skills are actually quite acceptable.

“Send that to me.” She had requested for Leon to do so as she wanted to quickly send the drawing to Zayne.

“Sure,” Leon responded while he clicked on the Messenger app.

While they were both abroad, their main form of contact wasn’t Messenger. In fact, he had downloaded it purely because of her. Nonetheless, from his usage of the app, he had realized the convenience of the application. Besides, it was also quite convenient for him to look for a date on it.

Meanwhile, Heather drove with one hand on the steering wheel while she used her other hand to send the photo of the sketch to Zayne. She also attached a voice message with the image.

“Zayne, hurry up and find out who this person is. Apparently, he claimed that he works as a reporter for The Apple Gazette,” Heather briefly summarized the details.

Meanwhile, Zayne was currently enjoying his afternoon tea despite it being almost dinnertime. He had a tendency to enjoy his leisure time.

As soon as he saw Heather’s text message, he lost his mood to enjoy his tea. It was quite a sudden assignment and he had been quite free for the past couple of days.

“I must get the result by today,” she said in her voice message that was sent following that.

He stared at the word must in her text with a dumbfounded expression. Investigating someone’s identity isn’t as easy as she thinks. It’s also much more complicated if one intentionally hides their identity.
