Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 485

Whenever Regan was around, Matthias wouldn’t feel at ease, so he decided to head out. Recalling how he treated Heather yesterday, he felt that something was wrong, so he simply came up with a reason to go see her.

However, she didn’t like how Matthias would come looking for her so frequently at the office. On the contrary, Blake was rather glad to see him visit, which was why Matthias had always been given access to Langston Group.

At this moment, Heather, who was busy working, heard someone was at the door, so she instinctively said, “Come in.”

Who knew Matthias would be the one to come through the door? Of all the people it could’ve been, it was the person she didn’t want to see the most. She was already stressed out because she had tons of documents to go through, and Matthias coming here only made her even more agitated.

“I’m working and have no time for personal matters,” she said coldly, wishing he’d just leave her alone as soon as possible.

“I’m here to discuss work.” It wasn’t surprising that he already thought of an excuse to talk to her.

“The person you’re looking for is Blake. I’m in no position to represent Langston Group.” It was evident that she didn’t want to talk to him at all, no matter if it was personal or work.

“I want to talk to you. Is that an issue?” He asserted. Nonetheless, she was also a persistent person when it came to rejecting someone.

“I don’t want to blur the line between personal matters and work,” she nonchalantly said with her head lowered as she continued to read the document she was working on.

“We’re discussing it in the office today.” Obviously, he had no plans of leaving without getting what he wanted. He immediately plopped down onto the chair opposite of her while she didn’t bother to spare a glance at him.

He must admit that being ignored wasn’t a good feeling. At this moment, he felt like he was transparent, and all he wanted was a glance from Heather.

His feelings toward her were ineffable. He knew very well that there wasn’t any chance for them to be lovers, but there were times like these where she would be so headstrong like how one could get in a relationship.

“May I know what’s the working matter that you would like to discuss with me?” Her eyes were still trained on the documents on hand as she tried to brush him off.

“Is this your attitude when you deal with work discussions?” he questioned as her attitude was beginning to irk him.

“Well then, Director Locke, how would you like me to act?” With that, she finally placed down the pen she was holding and looked right at him.

“Look at me, seriously.” As he raised a brow at her, mixed feelings brewed within himself. He was beginning to suspect that he really had feelings for her.

At once, she offered him a courteous smile as she wore a calm and composed expression. Her stare made his heart skip a beat.

He could even feel a trace of blissfulness. That was what he felt when he finally got eye contact from her. He liked that pair of sparkly, crystal clear eyes that were ever so mesmerizing.

“Does this satisfy you?” She stared at him motionlessly as if to mock him and anger him.

“I would like to discuss the collaboration of Locke Group with Langston Group.” It was the same old excuse he used before. Some time back, Robert had already rejected him, so the chances of it happening were slim.

“I can’t make the call on this matter. In fact, even Director Blake can’t do that. You should pay a visit to my Grandpa and discuss with him.” Heather had already heard from Robert that he had rejected his proposal for a collaboration.

“Is getting approval from Old Master Langston the only way that you’ll seriously discuss our collaboration with me?” he asked, chagrined. It was obvious that she had been talking to him in a perfunctory manner to his displeasure.

Ever since he came back from Tasnia City, things hadn’t been smooth for him. Even Heather’s attitude toward him had a 180-degree change. Matthias thought that he had been rather unlucky lately. Staring at Heather deeply, he was perplexed by his feelings for Heather and annoyed at her perfunctory attitude.

“A collaboration between the two groups is a big matter, so we must have Grandpa’s approval to proceed.” She simply repeated what she said. Honestly, she didn’t want to pick a fight with him, and all she wanted was for him to leave her to work in peace.

“Heather, do you really hate me so much?” he asked, discontented. Having gone through Myra’s wedding, his feelings toward Heather had undergone a change in which he couldn’t control.

“I don’t discuss personal matters at work.” She didn’t want to answer that question. Moreover, he was acting really odd, as if she had stepped past his boundaries.

“Do you still want to terminate the contract?” He brought up a topic that would pique her interest.

Despite the fleeting change in her expression, she persisted. “I don’t want to repeat myself thrice. If you don’t have any other work-related matters, I would like to work in peace.”

However, it would take more than that to break her current effort to ignore him. It was easy to bring up the contract termination, but she knew that he would not easily have it dissoluted as he had just given her his answer yesterday.
