Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 319

Hera's face flushed red as her heart drummed against her chest.

She scrambled to get up. Looking at Bernard, she made sure that he was still sleeping soundly before breathing a sigh of relief. She quickly placed the towel and blanket on him, ensuring that he was properly covered up.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The doorbell was still ringing. Hera put down the ointment and went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face. She wanted to cool down her hot cheeks before opening the door.

When she did open the door, she saw Leon, who was wearing a baseball cap and a face mask. He looked just like a suspicious person. He exclaimed, "Boss!"

He checked to make sure no one was around before slipping into the presidential suite.

"Boss, this is what you asked for. I brought it here." He set down his backpack and took out a laptop. Just now, when Bernard was taking a shower, Hera asked Leon to bring it over.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Hera took the laptop and turned it on after placing it on the table.

Leon took off the cap and face mask while complaining, "You have no idea how exhausting it is to date a superstar! I have to be careful not to be seen by reporters, tabloid journalists, or rabid fans. If I'm caught on camera, I would have to explain to him that you're not my lover!"

"Be quiet," Hera reminded him.

Leon looked around, only to see that the bedroom door was closed. "Is your man in there?"

He looked back at her and noticed the lingering blush on Hera's face. "Why are your cheeks so red?"

Hera was reminded of how awkward it was in the bedroom just now. She cursed Leon in her heart, blaming him for her current situation.

"Surely, you weren't doing the deed?" Leon leaned forward with a sly expression.

"You can scram now," Hera said coldly.

Leon pretended to sob, putting on a pitiful expression. "You're so heartless, asking me to leave after using me. You don't even care about me! I'm getting targeted by them because of you."

Hera glared at him. "Go on, then."

"They couldn't find any information on you, so they started digging on my end. Especially Aries from Astral Nova! Ever since I encountered him, I realized that he has started keeping tabs on my movements in Cyber Web. It's making me so paranoid that I don't dare to go online too often."

Leon was referring to the group that was involved in taking down Raven. In their eyes, Raven was now a walking money bag. Whoever caught Raven first would get the reward.

"I see." Hera hummed lightly as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

When Leon saw how little she cared

saw

about it, he couldn't help but nag,

"You should be more careful! Even Astral Nova's people are involved and those devils can't be

underestimated. Don't go online for a while; wait for things to die down.

"I have a feeling that Astral Nova has hidden motives, so you must not get caught by them!"

"I got it. Now buzz off!" Hera waved her hand impatiently.

Leon pouted and put on his cap and face mask again. When he was about to leave, Hera called out to him, "Wait, take this medicine and use it. It's specially formulated for the heart."

As Hera spoke, she tossed a small vial to him. Leon caught it and read the dosage instructions on the vial. He was a bit surprised.

"How did you know that I wanted you to help treat someone with a heart disease?"

After asking that, Leon realized that it wasn't so surprising for her to know that. It wasn't a secret that his godson had a congenital heart defect. With Hera's capabilities, she could get that information with a snap of her fingers.

All this while, he felt that Hera was a

St

cold, distant person. He even felt that their relationship was a purely transactional one. No matter how warmly he approached her, she would only act coldly. After he

his purpose, she would ask

him to leave.

However, at this moment, Leon was truly touched.
