The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.
Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.
Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.
Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of him, calculating in his heart.
Maybe there is a way to disrupt this wedding. As a dark thought popped up in Matthias’ head, the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.
There were many ways to do so, and if Matthias was more despicable, he would not hesitate to use all means to stop Myra and Tony’s wedding.
However, Matthias was not that kind of person after all, so he carefully smoothed out the invitation and placed it under the drawer. He was afraid that he would do something, and if he really did something to hurt Myra, he would not forgive himself.
He’d never thought of hurting Myra because of his own desires. Occasionally, he would take a look at her from afar; he knew that she was now living a good and happy life, for she was almost always smiling.
He clenched his fists tight. Her happiness should not be destroyed in his hands, but he could not control himself. Perhaps leaving Bradfort City would be the best choice for him. Yet, it was not easy for him to get to Bradfort City nor get so close to Myra, so how would he be willing to leave?
Thus, he had to think of a better solution, because right now, he was afraid that only Heather could stop him from doing things that would harm others. Hence, he decided to go to Heather and explain this matter to her.
As usual, Heather was in the Langston Group, and when Matthias rushed over, Heather was dealing with an urgent matter. She looked at the anxious man with annoyance, wondering what was wrong with him because she had never seen such an expression on his face before.
But this was not a good enough reason for her to forgive him, so she looked at him coldly. It’s annoying how my thoughts are disrupted by him!
“Why did you barge in like this?” Heather questioned in an unkind tone. Even if he ran into some big problem, it had nothing to do with her.
Recently, Matthias had been treating her less and less as an outsider. Even though they were bound by a black-and-white contract between them, so what? At least he should learn not to cross her bottom line. Right now, she deeply felt that Matthias had disturbed her work.
Matthias did not have time to explain so much, so he opened the door and said, “It’s about Myra. Come out with me.”
When Heather heard the word ‘Myra’, she was indeed keen, but Matthias’ last sentence made her very unhappy.
“Can’t you see I’m working?” she said with exasperation. Who does Matthias think he is? He thinks too highly of himself.
“I want to find a place to talk to you properly. It’s something very urgent, and it’s related to Myra’s wedding.” Matthias panicked; it looked like Heather was a little too irritated, and he knew he forgot to pay attention to her feelings for a moment there.
Heather did not even raise her head to look at him. Instead, she continued to work, effectively treating Matthias as transparent. Furious by her attitude, Matthias went up and grabbed her, attempting to pull her away.
As the documents in her hands were thrown aside by him, Heather had to look at him, and her gaze grew colder and colder. Previously, she had wanted to consider what Myra advised—to let nature take its course—but when she saw that Matthias was acting like this, she felt that he did not respect women enough and thus felt turned off by him.
“Let go. I’m busy; I don’t have time to mess with you,” Heather said in a cold voice. She really wished to punch a hole in Matthias, and now, her tone was even worse.
“This matter of mine is more urgent.” Matthias was already in a bad mood, and so his tone was not any better.
When it came to fighting, Heather was as good as Matthias, but unfortunately, there was a glass door. If she fought too hard and was seen from the outside by Blake, it would be very humiliating.
“This is the Langston Group, not a place for you to run wild.” Heather’s gaze was freezing cold, and her friendliness toward Matthias dissipated.
She hadn’t seen him for a few days, but he showed up like this when they met again. Heather gave a self-deprecating smile as she thought about how arrogant he was. In fact, she felt disgusted to even glance at him again.
“I’m sorry.” Matthias forced himself to calm down. He hurriedly apologized because he forgot that it was useless to coerce Heather.
The good thing was that Matthias stopped in time and held back his hostility. After all, he wanted to talk with Heather properly.
However, Heather had been angered, so it was not easy for her to calm down. Although Matthias had let go of her, she did not intend to easily forgive him. After all, he had gone overboard and crossed a line.
