Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 533

Hours after hours went by; three solid hours had passed before Myra woke up. The hot spring resort

operated 24/7, so nobody woke her up. They patiently waited for her to wake up on her own instead.

When Myra woke up, she did not remember what had happened before this. All she recalled was that

she had bumped into Matthias at the hot spring resort, and everything else that happened after seemed

to have faded from her memories. Nevertheless, she simply assumed that her memories were hazy

because she was too tired.

This was, in fact, good news to both Heather and Tony. It would be for the best that Myra did not

remember any of it. At this moment, the awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared and the three of

them were back to laughing and chatting around.

Although there were still some hard feelings between Heather and Tony, they did not show it in front of

Myra. As both of them were good actors, they easily concealed it from her.

Myra beamed at them, causing them to ignore the flash of uneasiness in her eyes, as well as the

cryptic gaze she had when she looked at Heather ever since she had woken up.

Both Heather and Tony did not notice her unusualness. They started to act natural when Myra woke up,

so they were unaware that she had already regained her consciousness before they even noticed it.

She lowered her eyes so that the other two wouldn’t note the difference in her gaze. Facing two

masters of disguise, she had her ways to disguise her true feelings too.

“Let’s head back!” Tony suddenly suggested.

It was late and they should return home soon. They had spent the whole afternoon at the hot spring

resort after all. To that, Myra smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep when I return

home.”

Tony cast a glance at Heather before he turned to Myra. and when Heather noticed it, she sensibly

chimed in, “Let’s have some more fun and return home later, then.”

Myra agreed to her suggestion, and Tony had no objection either. With that, the three of them—each

with respective thoughts in mind—got into Heather’s car and drove straight to Zion Club since they had

not been there for a long time.

When Elliot was informed that Myra and Tony were coming, he went downstairs to welcome them

personally and saw Heather. Upon seeing them together, he nearly could not believe his own eyes.

“Tony, Myra, I thought that you two were still abroad. Why didn’t you inform us in advance that you are

coming back?” Elliot was a little surprised by their sudden visit, but what was more surprising was that

Heather was with them.

That was because Heather was rumored to be a workaholic. For multiple times, Philip had tried to invite

her on a date but she kept rejecting him with the excuse that she was busy with work. Now, it appeared

that she was the first person who learned about Myra and Tony’s return. Elliot truly could not

understand the relationship between Myra and Heather.

“Hello, Miss Langston. We’ve met again. You’re beautiful as always.” Elliot greeted her warmly as he

was usually extra amiable when it came to beautiful women.

“Hello, Young Master Elliot,” Heather greeted nonchalantly. Her expression was as though frozen for

the entire day—she was either impassive or wore a stiff expression.

However, Myra seemed to not mind any of it. After all, when Myra looked at her, she would deliberately

squeeze out a smile. Tony, on the other hand, seemed unfazed; he only acted like his usual self.

Nevertheless, after the unpleasant encounter with Matthias and the series of events that came after

that, which was something that even Tony had no knowledge of, Heather was in an awful mood. Yet,

she still had to force herself to put on a smile, which explained her stiff expression.

Her phone was particularly quiet on this day, especially without Myra’s text messages since the latter

was right next to her. Moreover, Matthias also did not disturb her as they had a conflict earlier.

There weren’t even Leon’s chatty messages because she had planned to look for him the next day.

Everything had jumbled up into a big ball of mess, and Heather really wished that she could drop all of

it and devote herself to her company instead. She believed that the following day would probably be a

fresh start.

Meanwhile, Myra’s appetite was whetted by the delicacies in Zion Club as she could not get such

authentic local food abroad. She was used to the taste of the food in Bradfort City. Although the foreign

cuisine was refreshing, it was still no match to that from her hometown.

Like Heather, Elliot was shocked by Myra’s increase in appetite after returning to the country. While

devouring the delicacies, Myra discovered that eating scrumptious food would put her in a good mood.

The more she ate, the fewer worries she had.

Although the four of them were not as hyped up as they had used to, Myra did not want to go home just

yet. Therefore, they proceeded to have fun till late at night. If Tony had not forcefully dragged her away,

she would have stayed longer.

In the end, only Elliot and Heather were left behind, staring at each other. Elliot took the initiative to ask,

“Miss Langston, it’s late. Do you need me to send you back?”

He felt that he should offer his kindness as a man since Heather had handed her car keys to Tony to

lend him her car.

“No.” She rejected his offer without any hesitation nor any words of courtesy.

“It’s not safe to take a taxi home so late at night.” Elliot continued to show her his concern. He even

regretted a little for not asking Phillip to come over so that the latter would have the chance to send the

lady home. However, he was aware of Myra and Tony’s intention to set Heather and Lucas up. At the

same time, he thought that with Phillip’s character, the man was probably not going to be a good match

to Heather, especially having seen how indifferent Heather could be. After some contemplation, he still

found Lucas a more suitable man for her. In addition, ever since Myra had left, Heather had become

even more unapproachable and cold—even looking at her expression gave him the chills.

“I’ll be fine.” When Heather gauged that Tony and Myra had probably left the club by now, she did not

bother to talk to Elliot further. She stood up at once in an attempt to leave as well. Elliot had wanted to

display his kindness, but upon seeing her unfriendliness, his words were stuck in his throat.

“Young Master Elliot, you can leave.” She emanated an aura that was even colder than Tony’s, making

those around distance themselves from her.

Watching as she left, Elliot had a thoughtful look. Women like her were really rare, and she was very

different from the rumors. According to the rumors, Heather was smooth and sleek in dealing with

people, and she had indeed displayed amazing social skills during the day when he first met her.

However, she seemed strange this time around. He had a hunch that this was her true self, so perhaps

her perfect social skills were merely a show she put up for the sake of doing business. It was obvious

that she had a strong desire to succeed, which made her a completely different person from Myra.

He was baffled by friendships between women—Myra had a best friend like Heather and another like

Estelle. Women surely were complex creatures. It was fortunate that Tilly wasn’t as complicated as

them. In contrast, Tilly was simply much more adorable.

Concurrently, Heather had hailed a taxi and was on her way home. She disliked the shabby-looking

interior of the vehicle and felt uncomfortable sitting on the hard seats without a soft cushion. With her

arms folded across her chest, she pulled a long face that repetitively deprived the young driver of the

courage to strike a conversation with her.

Every time he looked into the rear mirror and met her pair of cold eyes, he would swallow back the

words he wanted to utter. Her gaze alone was enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone she

was staring at.

As the car drove along the road, Heather’s face brightened and darkened intermittently under the

passing street lights. She remained in the same position throughout the journey without the slightest

change in her expression.

The young lad almost suspected that he had picked up a beautiful female ghost. When the taxi pulled

to a stop in front of the Langston Residence, Heather opened the door and handed the driver a note

worth 100.

The young man initially intended to give her the change, but she alighted from the taxi without looking

back, so he went after her as he did not want to take advantage of her.

There was a bashful expression on his honest-looking face as he spread his palm to hand her the

money.

“Here’s your change,” he shyly said.

Heather could not help smiling faintly and replied, “Just take it as your tips.” She did not take the money

from him, and her voice sounded angelic in his ears.

After that, the main gate of the Langston Residence opened at her voice command and she headed

inside, leaving the young lad rooted to his spot. Then, he held the money tightly in his hand and

retracted his extended arm.

When he glanced at the lady from the back again, she was seen entering the door and slowly

disappearing from his sight. Only then the young man revealed a shy smile. Meeting a stunning woman

like her made his spirits fly high.

Heather had no idea that she had become a stunning scenery to someone else and made his day; she

kept wearing her cold expression as she walked to her room. The day ended at the moment she All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

opened the door, and the next day would be a new one.

Her room was filled with a familiar fragrance, which made her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

It was yet another awful day. Meeting Matthias had never been good news to her when he kept putting

her life off track.

After all, he had disappointed her over and over again. Sometimes, even she could not figure out why

she would still set her hopes on him despite knowing that he would never do anything to make her

happy.

If this was how one behaved upon falling in love with someone, Matthias’ actions made her wonder

what sort of mortal sins she had committed in her past life to gain his love in this life.

On this night, Heather was able to fall asleep very quickly as she already had plans for the following

day. She had never officially introduced Leon to the Saffords, hence it would be a good chance to invite

them out so that she could get them acquainted with one another.

Early in the morning, she woke up in time and immediately texted Leon. However, she did not receive

any replies from him, so she thought that he might still be sleeping. Then, she texted Paige a similar

message to invite her out to Cat Maid Café, where the waitresses dressed up in maid’s outfit and cat

ears. There were also many cats of various breeds in the café.

Heather was an animal lover. Although it would be impossible for her to rear one on her own, she still

enjoyed occasionally petting one. When Leon woke up and saw the name of the café, which sounded

like his cup of tea, he immediately contacted Heather.

On the other hand, Paige was quite surprised that Heather would invite her over to a place like that.

The café was designed with an anime theme, something she did not expect Heather to be fond of.

Truth was, Heather chose the place to suit Leon’s preference.

Of course, Josiah would not go to this sort of a place, but it was not Heather’s intention to force him to

go. She just thought to let the two youngsters, Paige and Leon, get to know each other.

After that, Leon showed up at the café on time. Upon seeing the waitresses in maid costumes and cat

ears, he could feel his heart racing.

He arrived a little early this time. Since Heather had yet to arrive, he began his plan to flirt with the

ladies.

Meanwhile, Heather had gone to Paige’s office to pick her up. When they pushed open the door and

entered the café, they saw Leon chatting with a waitress.

Paige spotted Leon at one glance and said to Heather, “I didn’t expect there to be male waiters too.” As

she thought that there were only female waitresses in maid costumes in the café, she was surprised to

find a mixed-race young man here.

Heather burst into laughter at her remark and then waved at Leon. “Leon’s flirting with girls again when

I’m not paying attention.” Hearing this, Paige turned to Heather in surprise, then glanced at the puzzled

Leon. Finally, it dawned on her that she had made a fool of herself.

She felt awkward, but Leon was clueless about it and walked up to them. It turned out that he was

actually quite tall.

He kept staring at Paige, making her feel embarrassed, while Heather noticed his interest in Paige at

once. This guy must be contemplating if he should pursue her.

Mercilessly, she stomped on his foot, making him turn to her in pain. “Heather, you’re giving my future

girlfriend a fright!” With a forced grin, he exclaimed as he tried to contain the pain, but his frivolous tone

made Paige look down on him.

Upon hearing his words, Paige ran off with a flushed face. Only Heather knew how much of a playboy

Leon was, who constantly flirted around with women.
