Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 661

As the door of the director’s office opened from within, Heather’s gaze fell on Tony. After a few days of not seeing him, he looked rather haggard and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Wondering what kind of hardship he had endured for the past few days, she suddenly felt sorry for him. After all, she could tell that Myra was extremely important to him.

He was not surprised when he saw her. Heather guessed that he had already received a call from the kidnappers, who had probably given them similar instructions. When she nodded to greet him, she saw a man standing next to Tony and thought that she had met the man somewhere.

She narrowed her eyes as she thought, It’s a weird day today. I keep having a feeling that I’ve seen them somewhere.

The man noticed her gaze and flashed a polite smile. However, she merely twitched her lips slightly as a reply.

Heather would rarely reveal her smile to strangers. She was also usually indifferent and coldly treated people. Even if she had to face her customers, she would just reveal her strengths while avoiding unnecessary pretentious talks.

The man left a short while later. After that, Heather took the initiative to walk to Tony first and they exchanged glances without saying a word. As soon as she wanted to speak to him, she heard him say, “Let’s discuss when we are in the room.”

As soon as she saw the vigilance in his eyes, she also became more guarded. He must be taking precautions against someone and the only person left is the new secretary.

She understood many things through his gaze. After they walked into his office one after another, she closed the door behind her. Throughout the entire process, she looked at him attentively, but he quickly walked to his seat and started vigorously writing on a piece of paper without even looking at her.

Heather curiously approached him. She would usually leave him alone, but today, she acted out of the ordinary and walked over to take a look. She saw a lot of words on the paper that did not look like English at all.

It was apparent that he had written it for her to read. After she carefully distinguished them, she finally realized he was writing Latin in a rather sloppy manner.

After translating the words that Tony had written, what he meant was, ‘I’m being watched. Be careful of what you say here’. The simple sentence had shocked her.

All the evidence points to the secretary. Heather finally believed in her judgement. I initially thought we could have some private conversation alone after we closed the door.

It seems impossible now, though. I bet there are surveillance cameras in this office. Sitting in front of him, Heather had a look of slight disappointment.

After she was seated, Tony finally dragged his words. “I wonder what made you come to see me personally.”

She bit her lower lips before she replied, “He called me and asked me to discuss our strategies together.” They were now using ‘he’ to refer to the ringleader.

“Strategy?” Tony snorted coldly. “What kind of strategy does he want us to come up with to be satisfied?” There was hatred in his voice. Heather did not know what exactly he was thinking, so she did not immediately reply to him.

The main communication between them was through their eyes, as if they could understand what the other was saying visually. The quiet atmosphere made both of them feel rather awkward.

So, what do you have in mind? She felt that she had to give him a reply, but after a round of questions, the main question still circled back to Tony.

He had no idea what to reply to her. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke darkly, “Why does he like to beat around the bush? If he wants us to do something, why didn’t he clearly say it?”

When Heather heard his complaint, she also agreed with him. Why did I forget to ask the ringleader this question?

She asked tentatively, So, are we going to stay on the defensive? Looking at Tony’s level of confidence, she felt that things were not as bad as she assumed.

Nope. At this juncture, we have to start our offense. Our final goal is to attack the Moriarty Family. He gave her a slight smile, but she still looked confused.

It’s not enough to just state that we are going to start our attack on the Moriarty Family. We need a detailed plan. Both of us know that their power is unimaginably immense. Regardless of whether Tony was telling the truth or not, Heather had to show that she was willing to discuss it with him.

He nodded and responded with a half-smile. We can slowly discuss the plan, but there are some small actions that we can already take.

Small actions? Caleb is even more cunning than we imagine him to be. He will see through our actions. Heather wanted to win with a calm and steady plan, so she did not agree with Tony’s offensive and risky plan.

He took a blue file from a pile of documents. You can take a look at this. With that, he threw it in front of her.

Heather picked up the file and flipped through the pages. And just like that, many secrets that nobody knew of were exposed in front of her.

It looks like you have already investigated the Moriarty Family beforehand. Heather could not help but be impressed by Tony after she looked at the information that could not be found elsewhere. I wonder where he got all this.

“About the secret forces that have suddenly entered Bradfort City, I might know even more about it than you.” He had already silently investigated the ability of those forces way before she did. “These forces had already started to take actions back before you even returned to Bradfort City.” It was an important clue that he had given her.

She never expected the forces to be powerful and she also didn’t know that they had been hiding in Bradfort City for such a long time. Hence, this piece of information had greatly shocked her.

“Is there hidden treasure in Bradfort City? Or, is there something else hidden here? Is it worth it for them to take such huge actions?” she exclaimed in shock as she looked through the document.
