Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 855

Hera had no choice but to key in her own phone number under Bernard's watchful eye. She couldn't even enter a fake number as he immediately called her to ensure that it was correct.

Hera was at a loss for words.

Bernard ended the call once he heard her phone ring. "Remember my number. You must answer whenever I call you."

Hera clucked her tongue impatiently. "Isn't this a bit too much based on our relationship now?"

Bernard lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Don't forget that you started it. You don't have the right to end things as long as I'm not bored of you yet!"

"I thought things would end between us once we finish using 206 condoms?" Hera retorted instinctively.

Bernard smirked. "Not bad. You're keeping count." He then whispered in her ear, "But it's 207 of them. We didn't get to use the last one because you were far too tired. That doesn't count."

Hera was rendered speechless, regretting having brought up that matter. She shouldn't have let herself get distracted by his good looks. Indeed, acting on impulse was a poor decision.

Bernard looked down with an unreadable smile as he took in her subtle expression.

Hera clucked her tongue. "Alright, we're done with our personal matters. Let's talk business." She solemnly pushed his hands aside. "I don't think I've introduced myself yet."

While speaking, she was about to hand over her name card when Bernard's phone rang all of a sudden. After glancing at the caller ID, he turned to answer the phone by the window.

Hera had no idea what the other party said. Instead, she gazed at Bernard's icy expression.

"Got it. Pick me up at the Imperial Hotel."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Hera hurriedly said, "Please give me five minutes of your time."

"Five minutes isn't enough. I need more time," Bernard interrupted before holding her chin, his thumb brushing roughly against Hera's full lips.

Usually, others would welcome the travelers with flowers. Instead, Vanta was the one presenting flowers to Hera, who came to pick him up.

"Babe, we haven't met in a while. Did you miss me?" Vanta saw Hera get out of the car from afar. He strode toward her before pulling her into a hug.

That was how people in Flowera liked to greet each other. Hera instinctively returned his hug. "It hasn't been that long."

"It's like how Jadonia says it—absence makes the heart grow fonder." Vanta put the flowers into the back seat before reaching for the car keys in Hera's hand.

"I'll drive. Why didn't Dyl and Dora come along? I miss them very much."

Hera sat in the passenger seat so that Vanta could drive. "They're having fun at home."

Hera and Vanta were rather comfortable around each other. The sight of them resembling an affectionate couple was spotted by Bernard, who just arrived at the entrance in his Rolls-Royce.
