Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 779

"If you really want to thank me, you can bring me to the competition with you," said Hera.

What really caught her attention was that she could gain lots of knowledge if she went to the national robotics competition.

But only the contestants were allowed to enter the competition site. She wanted to tag along and see if she could slip into the venue.

Jeremy was on the same page as Hera. She had helped them at such a critical moment, so he saw her as a part of the team already.

"Sure," he said.

The venue was in Jedburgh. Hera got in their car and headed to the venue together with the rest of the team. When they arrived, Sonny led Jeremy and the others into the site to get things ready for the competition.

Meanwhile, Hera wandered around the site and learned quite a few things in her field of interest.

As she walked around, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Xavier, she answered the call.

"Hera, where are you now? Can we meet?" Xavier asked.

He seldom asked to see her. It could only mean that something important had come up.

Hera sent him her location. When he almost arrived, she reluctantly left the competition site and headed to a coffee shop nearby, where they said they would meet.

Xavier wore a baseball cap and a mask. But even with this disguise, he stood out like a sore thumb in the crowd because of his height.

Two young women in school uniforms stood at the door, blocking his path. They stopped him to get his number.

"Hey, handsome," they said. "What's your Twitter username? Wanna be friends?"

It was the first time Xavier got into a situation like this. To be honest, he felt rather awkward. "No thanks. I don't have a Twitter account."

"Everyone uses Twitter these days," one of the young women snapped, annoyed. "You could've just outright refused us. You didn't have to come up with such a lame excuse."

Hera's cold, indifferent voice rang from behind the two young women. "Why are you so persistent when you know he doesn't want to befriend you?"

"Who the heck are you?" The two young women turned to see Hera, in all her stunning beauty, staring at them as she approached them. She gave off a cool air of elegance as she strode to them.

"You're here," said Xavier when he saw Hera. He scurried over to her.

Assuming that Xavier and Hera were a couple, the young women hastened their footsteps and left the coffee shop.

"It seems like you're quite popular with women," Hera commented teasingly, watching the two young women flee.

Xavier was exasperated. "Stop teasing me. Thank goodness you came. I didn't know how to react in a situation like that."
