Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 478

When Heather saw the news reports about her and Matthias, she immediately lost her appetite for breakfast.

She stood up under the others’ gazes and forced a smile at Robert. “I’m done with breakfast. There are some matters to be attended to in the company, so I shall leave first.”

With that, Heather left the Langston Residence and sped all the way to vent out her displeasure. Now that an agreement had been established between her and Matthias, she couldn’t actually retort the reports because according to their agreement, there was no issue about the content reported.

However, by publishing this kind of news together with Myra’s wedding reports, it was like indirectly informing Myra about the ambiguous relationship between Heather and Myra.

Heather was worried that Myra would instinctively connect the dots before she could confess to her.

Fortunately, Myra had gone for her honeymoon trip, otherwise she would have confronted her about this matter. Nevertheless, the honeymoon trip would end sooner or later, and Heather had no idea how she should explain to Myra when the latter came back to Bradfort City.

She couldn’t expose the agreement as the reason, but neither did she want to admit her entanglement with Matthias, so the situation seemed to be unsolvable. As long as the agreement still existed, Heather would be bound to Matthias, and the relationship between them would remain complicated.

Right now, how Heather wished to throw 100 million at Matthias to dismiss the vexing agreement. She regretted being soft-hearted back then.

In fact, she had warned herself numerous times that her soft-heartedness would bring her great trouble, but she still made this stupid mistake. While reprimanding herself, Heather had already arrived at Langston Group. She parked her car at the basement carpark with mixed feelings.

The day started off nasty, and it seemed like more bad things would follow. Frustrated, Heather pressed on the button in the lift hard. Heather’s displeasure was so obvious that the staff in Langston Group tried to keep away from her, and no one dared to provoke her.

At this moment, there was only one person who would have the nerve to provoke Heather shamelessly—Blake. The more annoyed Heather was, the more he wanted to sneer at her.

Initially, Heather had already calmed down, but little did she expect the arrival of the unwanted visitor. She received Blake with a sullen face.

Actually, Blake was the one who had ‘kindly’ handed over the newspaper with the said report to Heather. He enjoyed irritating Heather as he found pleasure in her misery.

“What mistake did I make again that you have to come personally to give me a lecture, Blake?” Heather asked sarcastically.

Blake seemed to be in a good mood and he was wearing a smug smile. “Nothing. I came specially to check on you this time. You’re my beloved sister, and I’m worried for you after seeing the reports today.”

Hearing Blake’s hypocritical answer, Heather curled up her lips in disdain. Blake was being increasingly mean lately, and he would use all sorts of things to mock her, which made her think he was actually quite pathetic.

“Blake, there are currently many projects going on in Langston Group which need your attention, so please don’t be concerned about my private matters. I’m an adult and I’ll be responsible for my own actions,” Heather replied calmly so that Blake couldn’t embarrass her.

“Grandpa keeps asking me to look after you, so I shouldn’t let him down,” Blake said uprightly as he used Robert as an excuse again.

“Let’s not talk about private matters during office hours. If you’re really worried about me, we can have a chat after work.” Heather forced a smile. Blake was just a joker to her, and she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.

“Sure. Everyone knows you’re a workaholic. I shouldn’t disturb you during your working time,” Blake continued on fearlessly although Heather had no intention of dealing with him anymore.

“Since you’ve said so, I shall continue working.” Heather lowered her head and continued reading the documents, planning to just ignore Blake.

Blake was merely paying lip service to Heather and didn’t think that she would actually ignore him. He stared at her in resignation as it would be awkward for him to either leave or stay.

Heather was busy doing her work and completely disregarded Blake, leaving him unattended to. It was only after a few moments later did she lift up her head and pretended to be unaware that Blake was still around.

“Why are you still here, Blake?” Heather feigned a perfect innocent look.

Blake glared coldly at Heather. He was still hanging here because he was unresigned to leave before he even touched the main point. After all, he had specially come this time to sneer at Heather.

“Heather, I’m not sure how I should say this.” Blake feigned a troubled look, but Heather was not interested in his lousy acting at all.
