Facade

“Boss!” the young man called out excitedly. 

Hera gazed at him in surprise. “Piglet?” 

“That’s me!” Piglet nodded happily. “Wow! You look prettier than your ID photo!” 

“Pilot” was the young man’s codename. His actual name was Leon Kirkland. 

Hera thought it was a huge coincidence for her to bump into Leon in this place 

Bernard, who was scrolling through his phone on the couch, could sense that something was off in the conversation. He turned around to look at Leon. 

Leon stood over five feet and seven inches tall. He was a locker, that was for sure. At first glance, Bernard could tell that Leon had just turned 20 years old. His dyed silver–gray hair was quite eye–catching 

Piglet? 

Bernard rose to his feet, a slight frown gracing his features. 

At first, Douglas wanted to chase Leon out of the premises. But since Hera and Leon knew each other, he decided not to do anything 

“What’s the matter?” Hera asked. 

she remembered vaguely overbearing that Leon was searching for medicine. 

“My friend ingested spolled food, causing his gastroenteritis to act up. But he didn’t bring medicine along, so I came here to ask if you guys have any medicine that can treat gut health,” Leon explained with a frown. 

He knew Hera was skilled in treating illnesses, so he added, “Can you take a look at him? Our location’s quite close to yours. It’s barely 300 feet away” “Can’t you just call the emergency hotline and send your friend to the hospital? Bernard asked coldly as he moved to stand in front of Hera 

He made sure to angle himself so that he was blocking her from Lece’s line of sight. It was as though he was announcing to Leon that Hera was his. 

Leon made eye contact with Bernard at that moment. Suddenly, the former felt a strong and intimidating bearing shrouding him 

What a domineering man. 

Based on how possessive Bernard was over Hera, Leon could tell that they shared an unusual relationship. 

“He’s a celebrity, and he’s still in the midst of filming, so it’s inconvenient for him to go to the hospital,” Leon explained 

“Isn’t there a doctor in the filming crew?” 

“He happened to be on leave.” 

“What a coincidence.” Bernard obviously didn’t believe Leon’s words. 

Leon didn’t know what to say 

Meanwhile, Hera shot Bemand a look of surprise. It was rare for him to engage in a conversation with a stranger for that long 

“I’ll go with you to take a look at him,” Hera said to Leon 

“Will this be a hassle for you? Leon snuck a glance in Bernard’s direction. 

He had a feeling that Bernard was a man he should never offend no matter what 

Both Bernard and Hera gave their answers at the same time. Then, they went verily silent. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hera returned to her room to grab her acupuncture kit. After that, she took off the camera, which was slung around her neck, before passing it to Beard.

“Bernard, I’ll go take a look at the patient. You can go ahead and have fun without me. I’ll go find you later. Lead the way.” 

The last sentence was directed at Leon. 

Leon had a feeling that Bernard’s demeanor became icier the moment Hera’s words fell Right now, Bernard was glaring at Leon as though he wanted to skin him a 

“No way. I want to go with you,” Bernard said immediately. 

Hera didn’t know what to say in response. 

“Thank you.” Leon gulped nervously before leading the way. 

He and Hera walked in front of Bernard. The wound on Bernard’s thigh had just finished recovering, so his pace was slower. Also, the ground was quite uneven, so it only made sense for him to be a couple of steps behind Hera and Leon 

“Boss, I can’t believe you’re actually in a relationship at such a young age! Your beau looks pretty scary, tool” Leon whispered to Hera after glancing behind him. 

“I’ll dock your comission if you keep making ridiculous guesses,” Hera shot back coldly. 

Leon widened his eyes in response. “How could you dock my commission? I’m only entitled to 1% right now! If you dock it, I won’t have anything left!” 

Hera just responded by glancing at Leon, who covered his mouth immediately.
