Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 455

The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt

the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly,

and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.

Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact,

Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying

Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it

indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.

Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he

felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to

describe what he felt.

Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire

Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of him, calculating in his heart.

Maybe there is a way to disrupt this wedding. As a dark thought popped up in Matthias’ head, the

corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.

There were many ways to do so, and if Matthias was more despicable, he would not hesitate to use all

means to stop Myra and Tony’s wedding.

However, Matthias was not that kind of person after all, so he carefully smoothed out the invitation and

placed it under the drawer. He was afraid that he would do something, and if he really did something to

hurt Myra, he would not forgive himself.

He’d never thought of hurting Myra because of his own desires. Occasionally, he would take a look at

her from afar; he knew that she was now living a good and happy life, for she was almost always

smiling.

He clenched his fists tight. Her happiness should not be destroyed in his hands, but he could not

control himself. Perhaps leaving Bradfort City would be the best choice for him. Yet, it was not easy for

him to get to Bradfort City nor get so close to Myra, so how would he be willing to leave?

Thus, he had to think of a better solution, because right now, he was afraid that only Heather could stop

him from doing things that would harm others. Hence, he decided to go to Heather and explain this

matter to her.

As usual, Heather was in the Langston Group, and when Matthias rushed over, Heather was dealing

with an urgent matter. She looked at the anxious man with annoyance, wondering what was wrong with

him because she had never seen such an expression on his face before.

But this was not a good enough reason for her to forgive him, so she looked at him coldly. It’s annoying

how my thoughts are disrupted by him!

“Why did you barge in like this?” Heather questioned in an unkind tone. Even if he ran into some big

problem, it had nothing to do with her.

Recently, Matthias had been treating her less and less as an outsider. Even though they were bound by

a black-and-white contract between them, so what? At least he should learn not to cross her bottom

line. Right now, she deeply felt that Matthias had disturbed her work.

Matthias did not have time to explain so much, so he opened the door and said, “It’s about Myra. Come

out with me.”

When Heather heard the word ‘Myra’, she was indeed keen, but Matthias’ last sentence made her very

unhappy.

“Can’t you see I’m working?” she said with exasperation. Who does Matthias think he is? He thinks too

highly of himself.

“I want to find a place to talk to you properly. It’s something very urgent, and it’s related to Myra’s

wedding.” Matthias panicked; it looked like Heather was a little too irritated, and he knew he forgot to

pay attention to her feelings for a moment there.

Heather did not even raise her head to look at him. Instead, she continued to work, effectively treating

Matthias as transparent. Furious by her attitude, Matthias went up and grabbed her, attempting to pull

her away.

As the documents in her hands were thrown aside by him, Heather had to look at him, and her gaze

grew colder and colder. Previously, she had wanted to consider what Myra advised—to let nature take

its course—but when she saw that Matthias was acting like this, she felt that he did not respect women

enough and thus felt turned off by him.

“Let go. I’m busy; I don’t have time to mess with you,” Heather said in a cold voice. She really wished to

punch a hole in Matthias, and now, her tone was even worse.

“This matter of mine is more urgent.” Matthias was already in a bad mood, and so his tone was not any

better.

When it came to fighting, Heather was as good as Matthias, but unfortunately, there was a glass door.

If she fought too hard and was seen from the outside by Blake, it would be very humiliating.

“This is the Langston Group, not a place for you to run wild.” Heather’s gaze was freezing cold, and her

friendliness toward Matthias dissipated.

She hadn’t seen him for a few days, but he showed up like this when they met again. Heather gave a

self-deprecating smile as she thought about how arrogant he was. In fact, she felt disgusted to even

glance at him again.

“I’m sorry.” Matthias forced himself to calm down. He hurriedly apologized because he forgot that it was

useless to coerce Heather.

The good thing was that Matthias stopped in time and held back his hostility. After all, he wanted to talk

with Heather properly.

However, Heather had been angered, so it was not easy for her to calm down. Although Matthias had

let go of her, she did not intend to easily forgive him. After all, he had gone overboard and crossed a

line.

“There’s no need to apologize to me. Please go out,” Heather said nonchalantly while pointing at the

door.

Blake had probably arranged a glass door for her office in case of times like this. Sweeping a glance

past the glass door, Heather saw that a crowd had formed outside, and everyone was watching them.

Now, there was no telling what kind of rumors would be spread throughout the company. Besides, it

was her who would have to suffer those rumors, not Matthias. Although Heather did not care much

about what they said, she didn’t like people talking about her behind her back.

“Sorry. I shouldn’t have been so impulsive, but I really have something important to discuss with you.”

Matthias humbled himself. After all, he was the one who had come to beg her, so he really should not

act like that.

“I don’t want to hear your voice, and I don’t want to see you either.” Heather pointed at the door, making

up her mind to ask him to leave.

“I’ll wait for you to get off work.” Matthias straightforwardly sought out the sofa. He had decided to just

wait until she’d agree to talk to him. No matter what, he had to make things clear with her today;

otherwise, he was afraid that he would plot how to destroy the wedding. Thus, he must find someone to

stop himself, and Heather was the best candidate.

Heather also did not want to quarrel with Matthias, at least not in the company, because there was no

need to put on a good show for the crowd outside the door. Moreover, there really were urgent matters

at hand, and if this man continued to make trouble, it would delay her from dealing with things.

Lowering her head, she continued to deal with her own matters and ignored Matthias’ presence.

Luckily, the man cooperated and did not bother her anymore.

The two did not speak, but occasionally, Heather would glance at Matthias, while the latter would smile

at her ingratiatingly, whereupon she would immediately withdraw her gaze. She really did not

understand what he was thinking. In fact, she thought him fickler and more inexplicable than women.

As for Blake, when he heard that Matthias had come to Heather’s office to make a scene, he was

overjoyed all of a sudden. In fact, he had been wanting to see them go at each other’s throats for a

long time now.

With what happened today, he knew that the two had conflicting attributes and would not get along well

together. Therefore, Blake decided to go and watch a good show since the news of their conflict had

spread to the whole company. Hearing this, Blake was delighted and felt that he wasn’t wrong about

Matthias.

When Blake pushed the door in, Heather was still working hard, not paying any attention to Matthias,

who was sitting on the sofa. As Blake saw that both of them did not interact with each other, his heart

bloomed with happiness. Then, he forced out a smile at Matthias.

“Director Locke, what business do you have for coming over today?” His mocking words were aimed at

Heather, implying that the two of them were talking about personal affairs during working hours.

“It’s about the cooperation between Langston Group and Locke Group,” Matthias replied seriously. He

had reflected just now and knew that it was indeed his own fault. After all, Heather was not having a

good time at Langston Group, and now that he had made such a huge scene, it would cause her to

become the subject of rumors. If he were her, he would not have been happy either. At this time, Blake

was trying to pick a fight, so Matthias took it upon himself to protect Heather properly.

“Why did you not talk to me about the matter of cooperation but came to Heather instead, Director

Locke?” Blake was very forthright in his words. Staring at Matthias, he wanted to see how the other

man would respond.

As for Heather, she didn’t even bother to look up. She knew that Blake disliked her, so since he was

trying to pick a fight with Matthias, she would just act as if it was none of her business.

“That’s because I came to look for my girlfriend with the pretext of cooperation,” Matthias sneered and

looked at Blake, who was trying to offend him.

However, Blake laughed out loud. He was still thinking about how to blame it all on Heather, so he This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

didn’t expect Matthias to bear everything himself. Since Matthias could say such words, it was clear

that he was shielding Heather.

Hearing this, Blake felt unhappy. Weren’t the two of them arguing to the point of fighting just now?

Since this did not seem to be the case, Blake left in disappointment.

Secretly smiling with her head lowered, Heather did not expect that Matthias would answer Blake like

that, causing the latter to be at a loss for words.

Now that the urgent matters had been dealt with, there were still some daily tasks to finish up. Thus,

Heather continued to work, completely ignoring the fact that Matthias was still waiting for her on the

sofa. It was not so easy for him to obtain her forgiveness.

When Heather was finally done with the affairs at hand, it was already late. All the company staff had

left, and Heather was the last to leave.

She had just stood up when she heard Matthias say, “Do you work so late every day? Don’t work so

hard. Your health is more important.”

Hearing Matthias suddenly say such caring words, Heather glanced at him indifferently, thinking that

she didn’t need his concern. Considering what Matthias had done, she was not going to forgive him

easily.

“Since I’ve waited so long for you to get off work, why don’t we go to a restaurant together and talk

there?” Matthias suggested.

“I’ve got no time. I’m in a hurry to go back to the Langston Residence.” Heather didn’t agree to it at all;

she didn’t promise to talk with him after work anyway. In fact, that was Matthias’ own wishful thinking.

“I was wrong today. Please give me a chance to make amends.” Matthias looked at Heather earnestly;

it seemed that she was still upset about him.

“There’s no need for that. As long as you don’t bother me further, that would be the best way to make

amends.” Heather pushed him away. She was not in the mood to chat nor have dinner with Matthias.

“Don’t you care about Myra at all? Someone wants to ruin her wedding; don’t you want to stop it?”

Dropping the bomb suddenly, Matthias noticed a subtle change in the expression on Heather’s face.
