Everly came out of the study and came across the butler. He smiled at her, and she returned the smile, since she was polite to everyone in the family. In most cases, Everly would be a likable girl, but the Langstons only cared about an individual’s ability. Someone like Everly would never get their respect, for all she knew was study.Her parents had told her to learn from Heather, who was already financially independent when she was still a high schooler. Back then, Heather was already studying abroad and handling the family business there. On the other hand, Everly was just a normal undergraduate. She still had to rely on the family for money, and she couldn’t provide any help either. To make things worse, she chose to major in pure arts, which was useless to the family. All she did was paint, so her parents had given up on her.They didn’t blame their daughter though, since they couldn’t help their family either. Not to mention they were still living in the house because Robert was

Heather learned a few lessons from the heart to heart session. She knew Matthias didn’t understand women, but now she knew she didn’t understand men either. In the end, they were idiots when it came to relationships. They didn’t know how to love, so they ended up hurting each other.Heather had never walked a mile in Matthias’ shoes, so she kept denying his love for her. But if he didn’t love her, none of the mess would have happened. Heather was feeling much better when she came back to her room. She was only angry because Matthias was overly attentive of Everly. Before this, she said she was keeping him away from her cousin, but the truth was that she was actually jealous that he was checking out someone else.She tried her best to lie to herself, but to her surprise, she actually cared about Matthias more than she let on. When she got back to her room, Heather lay down on her bed and glanced at her phone, then she took it. A moment later, she realized Matthias had called her countl

The road was paved with glass, creating an illusion of walking on space. Also, the path was flanked by a starry sky, and Matthias seemed to have reverted to a childlike state. His eyes were gleaming happily while the stars were smiling down at him. Heather envied him for that, as it had been a long time since she last felt like a kid who got her wildest dream fulfilled.She wondered what her wildest dream was anyway. Every time she was asked that question, Heather would tell them about how she wanted to be a successful businessperson. But is that really what I like?“Feels like we’re walking in space, huh?” Matthias looked at her.Heather nodded with a smile. She didn’t want to snuff out the light in Matthias’ eyes, for dreams were something to be respected, and she respected everyone’s preference. The older she got, the vaguer her childhood dream was, but she knew she never wanted to be a filthy businessperson in the first place.“Look up there. It’s the planets.” He poked her gently

Matthias was getting really confused after getting played around by Heather. He never realized Heather was a picky eater until that point.“What about Thai then?” he asked.“Isn’t that Southeast Asian too?” she shot back.Oh d*mn. He was feeling awkward. I was in too much of a hurry. “What about spicy food?” he asked patiently.Heather only smiled, and it sent a chill down Matthias’ spine, for he had a feeling that he had done something wrong. A while later, Heather said, “You’ve eaten with me a few times before, but you don’t seem to notice my preferences.” She wanted to see how patient he would be with her, and if he would accept her unreasonable actions.He gazed at her with a look of resignation, since he never did notice the details. Thus, Matthias tried to think back on the times he shared a meal with her, but it didn’t help. All he could recall was that the first time they had a meal date was at a Western restaurant.Since that was his only lead, he decided to bet on it. “So, W

The board of directors were engaged in hushed conversations as they waited for Matthias’ arrival. Regan was all smiles, confident that Matthias would be struck down from his sudden attack. There was a hint of smugness in his smile when he imagined how gloomy Matthias must look, but when Matthias came in, Regan realized he was smiling confidently, as if unfazed by the recent events.Matthias sat in his spot, silencing everyone with a glance, then he threw a mocking grin at Regan. Oh, looking confident, huh, Matthias? No matter. You’ll be the butt of the joke soon. Regan had distributed the file for everyone present, and the board of directors had finished reading the document that recorded all the mistakes Matthias did recently.The biggest mistake recorded in it was about the eastern suburbs’ project manager swindling a huge sum of money from the company. A scandal like that would have been censored, but Regan made it known publicly.However, that was a huge mistake on Regan’s part. H
