Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 573

Her sudden announcement had caused Leon and Matthias to look at each other in confusion. Both men didn’t think there were any business matters to discuss at this time. Initially, Matthias felt that Heather was only using Leon as a pretense, so he didn’t think much about their trip. Now that Matthias heard her mentioning work with a solemn expression, he was stunned.

On the other hand, with a bright smile on his face, Leon answered, “Heather, you didn’t inform me beforehand that we’re going to talk about work.” He was still secretly helping Matthias this time, causing her to roll her eyes at Leon.

A grateful Matthias glanced at Leon, thinking that he was indeed a loyal man. As the two of them made eye contact and exchanged a few knowing glances with each other, she felt the urge to kick the door down and leave the room.

“You kept mentioning the launch of the company yesterday. Isn’t that a business matter?” Heather reminded Leon. Since she came looking for him today, she already had her set of rhetoric figured out.

“Didn’t you already make up your mind and there’s no point in me persuading you?” He continued to ridicule her. With regards to his refusal to cooperate, she assumed that he was still angry with what had happened yesterday.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, I can leave now,” Heather responded in a threatening tone, hoping that Leon could stop being carried away by his temper.

In helplessness, he looked at her. If he continued to act against her principles, she would definitely not spare any mercy on him in the future. Since he had no choice, he hopelessly nodded.

“No, Heather. I still want to talk about the company launch.” Now that Heather had made herself so clear, there was no way Leon could act boldly anymore. After all, he still feared her in his heart.

Not knowing what was happening, Matthias gave a blank expression. He had no idea about the company launch at all. Upon noticing the confused expression in his eyes, she secretly smiled in her heart.

“When are you planning to launch the company?” He forcibly interrupted the conversation.

She did not reply. Instead, Leon answered, “On New Year’s Day.” There was nothing but a strong hint of helplessness in his tone.

“You’ve delayed the launch until the New Year’s?” Matthias expressed his opinion, which caused Heather to frown a little.

It was then that Leon became excited. With a slightly raised voice, he responded, “Don’t you think it’s taking too long? The company can be launched within a few days. Yet, she wants it to be on New Year’s Day and that was different from what she promised me.” The moment he had an outsider supporting him, he started to get bolder with his thoughts.

“Launching the company is a big thing. There’s no use launching it in a hurry.” Heather made her grandiose explanation. Leon had not mentioned the reason behind the postponement because it was not convenient for him to talk about it in front of Matthias. At least, he was still aware of that point.

“I heard you mention the company launch before and it’s already been delayed for half a year from your original plan. If you don’t launch it as soon as possible, it might not be a good move.” It was surprising that Matthias’ memory was not bad. She had once told him that she wanted to start her own business and even shared her plan with him.

Even though she couldn’t remember when it happened, he could remember every detail about it—a rather impressive feat to both Heather and Leon.

“Thoughts will change as time passes. Changes always occur to plans.” She had insisted on launching it on New Year’s Day and even got into a fight with Leon because of this yesterday.

If it hadn’t been for Matthias today, Heather wouldn’t have brought up the matter and landed herself in this situation. However, she did have her own reasons—she really wanted to persuade Leon into accepting her opinion.

It was just that she wasn’t expecting Matthias to express his thoughts at that time. And what was more shocking was the fact that she had once disclosed her business plan to him. Now, she knew that she was in trouble.

Undeniably, Leon was indeed annoyed with Heather yesterday, but he was not the kind of person who would hold a grudge against someone. Now that she had mentioned it again, he didn’t have any complaints about it. He was just surprised that Matthias was actually on his side, which made things more interesting.

Ever since she met Matthias, many embarrassing things that happened were all related to him. Sometimes, she wondered whether he was her calamity.

Suddenly, the lady boss’ words popped up in Heather’s mind—that she and Matthias were a match made in heaven. Yet, why did she feel that it sounded so ironic at this moment?

However, Heather knew that the lady boss was indeed proficient in metaphysics. For some reason, her words had Heather feeling a little excited. Although Matthias was always causing her troubles and embarrassment, he happened to be the one that could bring her happiness.

Even Myra thought that it was a wonderful thing. When Heather chatted with her a few days ago, Myra had even brought this up.

The emotions in Heather’s gaze had frequently changed from one to another that Matthias was feeling strange. Was there something on his face?

“I’m just expressing my thoughts. If you’ve made up your mind, you don’t have to care about what others think,” Matthias responded from the bottom of his heart. He was willing to support Heather in whatever she wanted to do.

Here came another plot twist! Leon instantly felt betrayed by his ally. In anger, he glanced at Matthias and regretted his decision for helping Matthias. In the end, Matthias would always stand on Heather’s side.
