Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 276

Hera's pretty face popped up in Bernard's mind.

He said, "No. She's rather timid and quite frail. I'm worried that she won't be able to handle the truth about my identity."

Meanwhile, Theo was rendered speechless after watching Aaron's video of Hera and Bernard engaging in combat.

Finally, the elevator reached the first floor of the underground parking lot.

Theo took out his car keys and asked, "Want me to send you there?"

"No thanks," declined Bernard while getting into the driver's seat.

"Something came up at the Gaskell residence. You have to hurry up and take care of it."

On the other side of town, the taxi driver parked the car just outside Shuttle Ventures. Hera and Douglas got out of the car.

Douglas checked his phone. Bernard was on his way from XS Corporation but was stuck in traffic, so he needed Douglas to buy him some time.

Douglas quickly messaged Bernard.

"We're here," his message read.

Then, he led Hera into the company.

"Ms. Youngworth," he said.

"Bernard's still in a meeting. Let me show you to his office."

When the receptionist saw Douglas leading a beautiful woman—Hera—into the building, her eyes lit up. She smiled politely as she greeted them.

After swiping the access card for Douglas and Hera to take the elevator, the receptionist rushed back to the counter, opened a WhatsApp group chat that was specially created for gossiping, and texted away.

Receptionist Cutie: "Oh my! Mr. Copley just brought an attractive lady back with him. She's so pretty! Her skin's perfect!"

Admin Angel: "Mr. Copley's here? Mr. Killian wouldn't be far off, yes?"

Finance Fairy: "Mr. Killian and Mr. Greer are the cream of the crop in doing business. Have you guys not noticed before that every time Mr. Killian comes here, Mr. Greer seems to smile a bit more?"

Admin Angel: "Wait a minute! An attractive lady?"

Receptionist Cutie: "Yes! They're heading to the top floor—Mr. Killian's office."
