Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 118

Katie was left speechless.

It was hard for her to comprehend that Hera, who was beautiful, didn't seem to value beauty that much.

"Boss, can't you pretend to be upset with us at least?" Katie implored.

"I'm too busy for that," Hera replied.

She set down her backpack and grabbed a small canvas bag before leaving.

The class president and her other classmates felt as though they had been snubbed by royalty.

Hera left the classroom and headed to the laboratory building.

Christopher leaned casually against the wall at the entrance of the chemistry laboratory on the fourth floor He was carrying his backpack and reading a book while waiting for someone.

This particular chemistry lab was rarely used, and the hallway was deserted except for him.

Footsteps echoed from the stairwell. Christopher looked up to see a tall figure approaching.

Hera had her black hair tied in a ponytail. With a cold expression on her stunning face, she exuded an air of aloofness that kept others at a distance.

Her tall figure and long legs turned the plain gray uniform into a fashion statement.

Christopher's heart skipped a beat as he quickly put his book away and stood up straight.

"Hera, you're here," he said while hurriedly extracting a lunchbox from his backpack and handing it to her.

"Have you had breakfast? I brought this for you."

Without looking at the lunchbox, Hera demanded, "The key."

Unperturbed, Christopher reached into his pocket but didn't hurry to pull the key out.
