Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 732

When the door to the director’s office was pulled open from the inside, Matthias left the room. Since the Locke Group was fully under his control, there was no need for him to be there.

At this very moment, he could openly announce that he wished to personally bring Locke Group to its downfall, and that bearing no fear against the family’s head, things were bound to change with each passing second.

As though he had a new life, he organized the suit he was donning. To him, every molecule of air he took in was refreshing. He loved that sensation, and he intuitively lifted the corners of his lips.

If it weren’t for coping with Heather’s covert operation, he would have shared the news with her right away. Sadly, given the circumstances, he couldn’t do so.

With how things had escalated, Matthias grew even more assiduous. Since he didn’t want to involve her in the Locke Group’s affair, he didn’t even contact her on social media. Although he was desperate for a compliment from her like an ungrown child, he wanted her to hear the news from others.

As he scanned his surroundings, Matthias turned around and stared at the Locke Group building and momentarily forgot where he was about to go. As he left the premises, he couldn’t find a place to go home to as he wished to desert all the residences under that family.

Now that he had nothing else, no words that could describe the emptiness he felt. It wasn’t as simple as the happiness from turning a new leaf, for there was even a bittersweet sensation coming from a tinge of unwillingness to flee the family!

As the cooling zephyr brushed against his face, he was reminded of how long winter was this year, and innumerable incidents seemed to have cramped up in this one chilly season. Falling under an illusion that he was looking forward to spring, he tightly held on to his shirt as a fondness for winter suddenly surged in him.

Meanwhile, Heather was notified by Zayne regarding Matthias’ status as she hid in the rented residence. Man, he must have planted bugs all over the Locke Group’s building!

“He was escorted out of the director’s office?” She was piqued by the occurrence of such an event.

“You don’t look worried.” Zayne saw through her, and he could tell that she was indulging in the drama.

“What for?” she chucklingly continued, “There’s never been an issue in Locke Group that he couldn’t solve.” Since she knew Matthias’ true capabilities, she exhibited not even the slightest bit of concern.

Meanwhile, Zayne acknowledged that there was not a single error in her words by shrugging his shoulders, but her attitude might have been a little too lax.

“This old man that appeared out of thin air is no one to simply mess with,” he told her, attempting to draw the subtlest concern from her face.

“The person who can force Matthias out of the company is none other than the family head himself,” she casually replied, having figured out the identity of the old man.

At that, Zayne helplessly looked at her. He had no comeback seeing how persistent her carefree attitude was.

“Since you’ve already guessed it, why aren’t you worried?” Zayne wanted to witness her perturbation and how she would look when she was disconcerted for someone else’s sake.

When she saw how meddlesome he was, she pursed her lips and was growing more reluctant to give him what he desired.

“You’re overthinking it, Zayne. With how the entire company is already in his hands, I honestly can’t find anything to worry about,” she stated with a helpless face. “No one is able to shake him off from his pedestal, not even Locke’s head.”

Since he couldn’t scare her at all, he decided to withdraw his devilish mischief. Be it, then!

“Fine. You got it all right. How boring!” Zayne got up from the couch. Initially, he wanted to frighten Heather with the news, but to his disappointment, the result wasn’t as he had anticipated. It was treacherous!

Seeing his disconcertment, she laughed excitedly. Sometimes, he would leave her the impression that he wasn’t actually a detective. She would often be astounded by his foolishness as she would always have to deal with him and his pranks.

“The yard looks good, Heather. Do you want to play ball?” He extended an invitation. Since they always locked themselves in that place, Zayne needed something else to distract himself.

At that, Heather merely rolled her eyes at him. At that moment, all she wanted was to satiate her slothfulness by lying on the bed and doing nothing, which included not moving her body.

Since he had been heartlessly rejected, Zayne turned to Jason as the latter lurked in a corner. When their eyes met, the other man immediately turned away.

“Let’s ball, Jason,” Zayne uttered.

“What’s a ball?” Jason responded emotionlessly.

Zayne was utterly infuriated by his housemates, and he said in confusion, “It’s our country’s sport, you heathens!” Why were things so hard for him? All the man wanted was a game of basketball.

The other two that were being rebuked didn’t even flinch, and that throbbed him like a direct smack to Zayne’s face. After observing the nearby court and seeing how he was closer to Jason, he had a eureka moment.

“Can you grab the ball for me, Jason?” He gave him a dazzling smile. Since he knew that it was no simple smile, Jason figured there was something else in his mind.

“I literally can’t move,” he blurted as he continued to snuggle up on the La-Z-Boy, enjoying the comfort of the couch. There was no way he would want to leave its embrace.
