Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Sorry,” said Heather, laughing. “I’ve been so busy lately. I really forgot.”

“Don’t you just need to design a dress?” Leila couldn’t resist ridiculing, “Are you so busy?”

Heather smiled. “I’m not just designing a dress, but a whole suit.”

“A whole suit?” Leila gasped. “Really? Have the requirements for our graduation project been changed? What should I do? I’m only designing a skirt, and I haven’t finished it yet…”

“No, our graduation project only requires us to design one piece of clothing,” Heather said in a soft voice, “but after I win the championship and join H & C INC., it will require me to show them something real. So I’ll design this whole suit as the leading style for H & C INC. this year.”

“… Curve wrecker, I admire you!” Hearing this, Leila’s knees were weak. This was the difference between her and a curve wrecker who was already thinking about what would happen after she joined H & C INC. and was even well prepared for everything. However, what Leila wanted was just a diploma.

Oh no, she didn’t call to ask Heather about it.

Leila came to her senses and said, “Heather Denmark! We’re talking about your boyfriend who will treat me to dinner!”

“Oh, yeah,” Heather said and came to her senses. “Let’s go tonight.”

“Really?” Leila yelled excitedly.

“Of course,” Heather said as she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Do you think I’m lying?”

“Why not?” Leila responded by asking, somewhat dumbfounded. “In fact, I don’t really have much hope! You said your boyfriend was Alexander Christopher last time, but it was the design director of H & C INC. who invited you to dinner! Do you know how disappointed I was at that time? I thought you’d give me some excuse to cancel it in a couple of days!”

Heather was speechless. She had been too busy to contact Leila for the past few days.

It seemed that the students at Quantum University believed the explanations on the forum and Leila. Hence, Leila took her earlier statement that Alexander was her boyfriend as another boast?

Heather was helpless. That was the bad thing about being low-key these days because people wouldn’t believe her no matter what she said.

“Rest assured. I’ll show you, Alexander Christopher, tonight,” Heather swore.

Suddenly, she asked quickly, as if she had remembered something, “By the way, do you know Alexander Christopher? After I take him with me if you say he’s not Alexander but someone I casually bring, we’ll be embarrassed.”

It was not that Heather was being alarmist.

It was just that Alexander also usually kept a low profile. Many people had only heard of his name but had never seen his face. He rarely appeared in the media, but he became more and more mysterious and popular among many young girls.

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Leila said. “I’m going with Lana tonight. She once met Alexander by chance, so she wouldn’t be mistaken.”

“All right, let’s meet tonight at Shangri-La,” Heather said. Lana was also her trusty friend. It would be okay for her to join too.

“Will we go to Shangri-La for dinner?” Leila’s eyes lit up as she said, “It’s very expensive there, Heather. But you have never been so generous. Is it because you have a boyfriend now that you’re ready to spend money?”

“… The places where I used to treat you were not expensive, but their food was very delicious. If you don’t want to, we can just go to have hot pot,” Heather said with resignation. She wanted delicious food instead of the most expensive. It was a pity that her friends didn’t understand.

“Hot pot is good too,” said Leila, feeling pity. “The most important thing for us is to meet your boyfriend. It doesn’t matter what we eat.”

“Are you saving money for me?” Heather laughed and spoke, “Okay, that’s a deal. Let’s meet at Shangri-La. If you don’t come, I won’t care.”

“I’m coming,” Leila quickly agreed.

Hanging up, Heather called Alexander.

Alexander was in a meeting. He was surprised to see her number.

It was the first time that Heather had called him.

He paused the meeting with a slight raise of his hand.

Everyone in the meeting room eyed each other. Alexander had been a workaholic and very strict in his work. That was why H & C INC. could be what it was today. Alexander had never answered the phone at any meeting. In the past, anyone who dared to answer the phone in a meeting would have a very sad end!

But now… Alexander, who was the strictest and most self-disciplined, actually answered the phone at the meeting!

Whose call was so important?

“Alex,” Heather began sweetly, “are you busy now? Am I disturbing you?”

“No, I’m not busy at all. What’s the matter?” he asked softly.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Everyone was speechless. What had their president said? They were incredibly busy now, okay? They were about to be tormented to death by him. How could he say he wasn’t busy?

“Nothing special,” said Heather. “Haven’t I promised my roommate some time ago that I would invite her to dinner with you? I happen to be free this evening. So let’s go together.”

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Tonight?”

“Mm, will you be free?” she asked.

“Yes. Do you want me to pick you up?” he whispered.

“No. I’ve made a reservation. I’ll go first with my friends. I’ll send you the address. Come straight after work,” she said happily.

“Okay,” he agreed.

Everyone in the conference room was taken aback when he hung up. How could Alexander possibly be free tonight? But, to their surprise, although they could not hear Alexander clearly, they could vaguely hear a woman’s voice from the phone.

They had thought Alexander was asexual… because he seemed interested in neither men nor women. Several pretty female employees and several ladies with a very good family background had tried every means to get close to him, but they were all rejected by him in the coldest manner!

Now it turned out it was because Alexander hadn’t met the woman he loved before.

“Mr. President, you’re flying to Country R tonight. There is something very important…” the assistant on the side couldn’t help but remind him.

“Put it off. It’s not so urgent. I’ll go tomorrow,” Alexander said quietly.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn’t speak. They even began to wonder if it wasn’t the real Alexander! But come to think of it, it seemed Alexander had been in a good mood these days. Was it because of the woman?

“Come on, let’s get back to the meeting,”

Alexander said in a cold voice. “You’ll have to work this out before leaving work in the afternoon!”

Everyone was instantly sad in their heart. It was just their illusion, as expected. He was really their strict president!
