Alle Kapitel von Standing before love : Kapitel 561 – Kapitel 570

The crisp sound of wind chimes rang outside as the two of them looked each other in the eye. With her lips slightly curled upward, Heather gazed at Matthias and replied, “Alright, we’ll do as you say then.”She didn’t want to argue any further since he was confident. After all, it seemed that he had long prepared his countermeasure.A smiling Matthias gently nodded. “Since you have assented to it, Miss Langston, then it’s decided for the time being. I’ll make the necessary amendments and decide on it later on.”Looking at his triumphant smile, Heather had the urge to throw a pot of tea at his face. He had insisted on ‘discussing’ the collaboration with her, but in fact, he was forcing her to agree to it.Obviously, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Suddenly, she recalled an evaluation of him given by someone in the industry. The person had said that Matthias was indeed a wolf inside out.After all, business was still business. He didn’t go easy on Heather at all and it seemed that he

Her sudden announcement had caused Leon and Matthias to look at each other in confusion. Both men didn’t think there were any business matters to discuss at this time. Initially, Matthias felt that Heather was only using Leon as a pretense, so he didn’t think much about their trip. Now that Matthias heard her mentioning work with a solemn expression, he was stunned.On the other hand, with a bright smile on his face, Leon answered, “Heather, you didn’t inform me beforehand that we’re going to talk about work.” He was still secretly helping Matthias this time, causing her to roll her eyes at Leon.A grateful Matthias glanced at Leon, thinking that he was indeed a loyal man. As the two of them made eye contact and exchanged a few knowing glances with each other, she felt the urge to kick the door down and leave the room.“You kept mentioning the launch of the company yesterday. Isn’t that a business matter?” Heather reminded Leon. Since she came looking for him today, she already had he

The sunlight peeked through the tall trees and fought for their entrance via the leaves. Heather raised her eyes and looked out the car window. It was a little shady in the woods and there was even a slight breeze blowing into her car from time to time. She closed the car window and realized that it was getting late.Looking at the busy figures of Leon and Matthias, she did not have any intention of offering her help.She missed Myra so much at this time. Clicking into her Messenger, she sent a sticker illustrating a bored expression to Myra. However, even after a long time, there was no response from the other end of the line. Heather guessed that Myra probably did not have her cell phone on hand. After all, they had pinned each other’s contact at the top of their chats. As long as they had their cell phones with them, they would reply to each other in seconds.Scrolling through her contact list in Messenger, Heather realized that there wasn’t anyone else whom she could chit-chat wit

The two had long been accustomed to Heather’s sarcasm. It was not easy to hear kind words from Heather—they were all reserved for clients only.“Heather, you’re still here! And here I thought you would leave us behind.” Leon did not back off from Heather’s remark and showed her no mercy.Matthias, who had been standing at the side, replied casually, “Thank you, Miss Heather, for wasting your time here with us.”Facing their cooperation, Heather turned speechless, but she didn’t want to continue quarreling with them. After all, it was getting late, and she didn’t want to delay any more time here.“Are you planning to eat this rabbit for dinner?” Heather asked, pointing to the rabbit in Matthias’ hand—this was her effort to change the subject.“Yes! It must taste good,” Leon replied almost immediately.Heather looked up and down at the gray-furred rabbit in Matthias’ hand. She grew curious as to how Matthias caught it at all. By right, this color should not be easy to detect.“We are go

When they got back to Bradfort City, it was already late, so Heather sent Leon back to his hotel first.After he left, only Heather and Matthias were left in the car, so the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.“I’ll send you back,” Heather said to Matthias.“Go straight to the Langston Residence. You don’t have to send me.” Matthias refused Heather’s offer, because he wanted to accompany her home. What kind of man would need a woman to send him back?“Okay.” Heather scoffed. “Well, in that case, you can get out of the car now!” Matthias said himself that he didn’t need her to send him back, which meant that they could go their separate ways now.“I want to see you get home safely.” Matthias didn’t have any intention of getting off whatsoever. It wasn’t easy for them to be alone together, so he certainly wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.“No, you don’t have to.” Heather refused. He had refused her kindness, so why couldn’t she do the same?Matthias noticed the resolution on her face, w
