Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 898

Vanta couldn't give Hera what she wanted. Seeing that she couldn't be convinced, he had no choice but to say, "If you secure the partnership with XS Corporation, I'll allow you to resign. I saved your life before. I don't think it's too much to ask for a partnership contract in return."

Hera frowned. She didn't like owing someone a favor because it was easy to be blackmailed. "I'll try my best. If I succeed, you have to let me resign."

Vanta was reluctant, but he still nodded. "Alright."

…

Two days later, Hera handed over the affairs of the clinic to Isla and Sarah. The appointment time agreed by Vanta and Theo was 10:00 am. She woke up early in the morning and instructed Tiffany to take care of the kids before driving to Serelith from Jedburgh.

The receptionist of XS Corporation, Sophia Langston, used to work at Shuttle Ventures. Now, she was the head receptionist.

In the morning, she received a message saying that Bernard was coming to the company. She was curious about why he was coming to the company that day when he rarely came. Besides, he arrived early in the morning.

Then, a gorgeous woman came to the receptionist's desk and said that she had an appointment with Theo. Upon seeing her, Sophie knew right away that she was Hera, Bernard's girlfriend from back then.

Hera had returned! Although rumors had it that Bernard killed Hera, Sophia believed that the two loved each other a lot. Now that Hera had returned and came to see Bernard, it meant that they had reconciled.

No wonder Bernard came to the company early in the morning. It turned out that Hera wanted to check in on him.

Sophia showed a professional smile and led Hera to the CEO's private elevator. She scanned the elevator card before returning to the receptionist's desk. There, she pulled out her phone and sent a notice in a gossip group chat that didn't have any superiors.

Hera was confused. Did XS Corporation always have such great hospitality?

"Ms. Youngworth, please come with me," said the head secretary with a smile.

Hera nodded and followed the head secretary to the CEO's office. The head secretary knocked on the door. When the person inside allowed them to enter, the head secretary pushed the door open and gestured for Hera to go in.

The office was vast, and the interior was minimalistic. A man sat in the office chair with his back facing Hera.

Even though Hera could only see his back, she knew that he was Bernard, whom she hadn't seen for the past two days. She looked around the office and was certain that there were only two of them in the office. Since Theo wasn't around, she became worried about the success rate of the partnership.
