"If I say it again, will you appear in front of me right away?" Hera asked. She wished he would show up suddenly like he did last time at the food street.
Bernard listened to her words and wished to rush to the Everett residence immediately. However, before he could say anything, Samson knocked and walked into his room.
"Bernard, there's news from Douglas that the driver your brother sent is nearing Shuttle Ventures," Samson said in a low voice.
Bernard frowned slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.
Chad wanted him back, and since he didn't return, he had sent someone to personally escort him back.
"I wish I could, but I can't leave right now," Bernard told Hera on the phone.
"I see..." Hera responded.
"I have something to deal with. Talk to you later," Bernard said.
"Alright." Hera hung up, lay back on the bed, and looked at the ceiling, feeling a sense of emptiness.
Tiramisu seemed to sense her sadness. It nudged her face with its little head.
Tickled by the nudging, Hera raised her hand to hold its head and began to stroke it. She found it rather stress-relieving.
Just then, a message came in. Hera clicked to view it and found a selfie from Bernard.
Bernard's chiseled, perfectly handsome face was slightly smiling at the screen. His expression was a blend of coldness and seductive charm. The background showed the back seat of a car, suggesting the photo was just taken.
Bernard: "If you miss me, just take a few more looks."
Hera smiled faintly as she saved the photo to her phone. She then took a photo of Tiramisu and sent it to him.
