Semua Bab Standing before love : Bab 651 - Bab 660

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 fa

Now that things had progressed to such a state, Heather had also lost her urge to sleep. She spent the whole night making corrections to her end of the proposal. It had been quite some time since she pulled an all-nighter for work. She suddenly recalled her time in Europe while she was in charge of expanding the new market there; although the work was tiring and tough, she found the effort quite worthwhile.At this moment, dawn broke and she stood in front of the window while staring at the passersby below her. Life was ever-changing but to her, everything felt the same. The city life that she experienced now was leaden for her and it was completely different from what she’d envisioned.Heather would occasionally wonder whether there were people with superpowers present in this city. She had been seriously considering the matter of reality and the imaginary world during this timespan. Recently, she kept having the feeling that reality was very much like an illusion in Thailand whereas

Before he left, Leon dialed 911 in kindness on behalf of the person who was sprawled on the ground. He knew that the person would not reveal anything unnecessarily once he regained consciousness.Occasionally, Leon hated those reporters who tend to make up stories. It was at that moment when he tightly clenched the negative of a photo with his hands while having an ugly expression on his face. There were some secrets that should not exist in this world. Meanwhile, he tucked the negative into his pocket and decided that he would find an appropriate spot to destroy it.He drove his car to meet Heather at their designated meeting point. It had been ages since he’d last gone to that place. In fact, he quite liked that location because there were plenty of beautiful women there.As soon as Leon hastily pushed open the door, he noticed Heather waiting for him at a spot next to the window; the rays of sunlight splashed on her face and she looked quite exquisite to the extent that he found it

Both of them silently communicated via eye contact. At that instance, Heather found the situation quite ridiculous. How can Leon be so confident?! She then rebuked, “Zayne will figure out a better solution.”Meanwhile, Leon did not know Zayne that well, but he reckoned that he was as good as the detective in terms of investigating someone’s background. As a result, Leon was quite sure that Zayne would not be able to find any substantial information.“I just want the sketch from you. Stop talking so much,” she replied with an annoyed tone. “Let’s switch positions.” The congested traffic in front of them was quite frustrating and she reckoned since there was so much time to spare, she might as well ask Leon to sketch the reporter’s features.He begrudgingly switched positions with her. It was quite awkward for them to switch positions in the car. From the outside, she looked like she was in his arms. Meanwhile, he tried hard to maneuver his position; their current poses were extremely i

The encounter did not transpire as per Leon’s expectations and he was quite disappointed as a result. Nonetheless, he realized that disappointment was a common thing one encountered in life, so he didn’t remain dejected for long.Zayne had noticed everything and stared at Leon for some time before he spoke, “Perhaps it’s because I haven’t had to personally deal with many cases over the years.”Leon couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile as soon as he heard Zayne’s reply. After all, he had grasped Zayne’s dark sense of humor.“I think so too.” The topic had ended with Zayne’s answer. Leon didn’t continue to pursue the matter as he felt that he should respect Zayne’s privacy. Zayne’s private life had nothing to do with him anyway.Both of them busied themselves with their own tasks tacitly while Heather remained outside the room. She stared at the tightly shut door with a look of realization, Looks like it was a good idea to bring Leon with me. I should have known that it would b
