Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 635

Everything had happened so quickly that Matthias couldn’t understand why Heather would react in that way, so he stared at her in confusion. At the same time, she also realized that her reaction was slightly over the top. If it really has something to do with him, I should act like nothing has happened.

“What is it?” He took a step forward as he thought that his abrupt actions had startled her.

“It’s nothing. I’ve been having a bit of a nervous breakdown lately.” She tried to give an excuse.

Fortunately, he didn’t persist in asking her, but his eyes were full of confusion as her sudden change of attitude earlier had filled him with anxiety.

“Is there anything troubling you?” Matthias asked tentatively.

However, Heather only gave him a smile as she couldn’t bring herself to answer his question. At that moment, she didn’t trust him at all and one could even say that she had never trusted him before. Even if she had built a little trust toward him, it was now completely destroyed.

Since he couldn’t get any response from her smile and she obviously didn’t want to reply to him, he didn’t force her to answer.

Then, Heather took the initiative to sit on his couch, but he didn’t follow suit after giving it a thought. Instead, he returned to his armchair because he himself concluded that he couldn’t be too intimate with her; otherwise, she would do something surprising again.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, someone outside knocked on the door, so Matthias replied, “Come in.”

Heather’s attention was immediately attracted by the person coming in, who was Lara, and she could see that Lara was holding a huge stack of documents. I didn’t expect him to be this busy today.

However, Lara only came in for a while before she entered the room. During the entire period, she didn’t bat an eye on Heather, but Heather was vigilantly staring at her. Everyone is a suspect.

Meanwhile, Matthias seemed to have noticed her gaze and he was curious as to why she was suddenly interested in Lara, but he was certain that Heather was hiding something from him.

“Heather,” he called her intimately.

However, she wasn’t used to him calling her this way. “Yes.”

“Did you really come to see me all of a sudden for nothing?” He had seen through her act since the beginning, but he couldn’t figure out her true intentions.

“It’s really nothing,” Heather replied with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Matthias stared at her eyes as he tried to search for clues, but she had concealed her emotions so well that he couldn’t notice anything.

“Then, I’ll—”

Without waiting for him to finish his words, she interrupted him with a smile. “You can continue with your work. I’ll wait for you here.”

Upon listening to her, Matthias was slightly relieved inside his heart. He had important documents to deal with at that moment and he didn’t want to delay it, but at the same time, he didn’t want to ignore her because of his work. Therefore, he felt much relieved after hearing her words.

After that, he continued with his busy paperwork at his desk while Heather sat on the couch, surveying his office. Not many people would use such a huge space for an office, but Matthias’ presidential office is much bigger than any president office that I’ve seen before.

The high floor had made the whole room look bright and clear. The reason why Matthias chose to have his office on the highest floor was because he could enjoy the feeling of being above everyone.

Heather was rarely this patient, so she would glance at him from time to time while he was working. The most charming thing in the world was the serious looks of a man working, so even she was starting to stare at the side of his face in a daze.

“What are you looking at?” Matthias suddenly turned his face and asked her.

Therefore, her face instantly flushed. I can’t believe I’ve been caught peeking at him. It’s so embarrassing. “Nothing.” She turned away. Ever since I met him, I’ve realized that my face is starting to blush more often.

When he rose from his armchair, the blush on her face had already disappeared. She noticed that he was approaching her, so she quickly took a few steps back to keep a distance from him.

“Focus on your work,” she uttered in a serious tone. I can’t stand him approaching me whenever we disagree.

Matthias glanced at Heather with dissatisfaction after his gesture was called out, so he couldn’t hug her.

“I can’t work properly with you here,” he teased.

Seeing that he was unwilling to return to his seat, she had no choice but to use her trump card. “It seems that I’ve interrupted your work. I think I should leave.” She walked toward the door.

Immediately, he blocked her path with a playful smile on his face. “Don’t go. Let’s have dinner tonight.”

It would be dinner time soon and Matthias planned to finish his work as soon as possible so that he could dine with Heather.

“When you are done with the documents on your desk, it may already be late at night.” She raised her brows at him as she considered whether to leave or not.

“I’ll deal with some urgent ones now, but I can leave the others till tomorrow.” As an experienced businessman, he definitely knew what to do.
