Chapter 93


    "Ms. Youngworth..."


    Dous finally caught up with Hera in the parking lot.


    Hera nced at him, expressionless, then opened the car''s back door and got in.


    "Do you really trust Bernard to be alone with that woman?" Dous asked.


    The heavy sound of the door mming shut was her response. Perplexed, Dous scratched his


    head, wondering if he had said something wrong again.


    He had seen Hera leaving alone earlier at the private room entrance.


    He teasingly asked, "Ms. Youngworth, why are you alone?"


    Then, Dous noticed Hera''s irritation grew. When he didn''t see Bernard follow Hera out into the


    elevator, he realized something was off. He quickly took the elevator to catch up.


    "Don''t worry, Ms. Youngworth. Bernard is very disciplined. He won''t fall for her charms so easily,"


    Dous exined from the driver''s seat.


    "Chad arranged for Bernard to meet Ms. Chime. As they say, one can''t refuse their elder''s kindness,


    and Bernard—"


    "Shut up and drive," Hera interrupted tly.


    Dous immediately shut his mouth. He found Hera to be much more frightening than Bernard.


    After some hesitation, he weakly suggested, "Should we wait for Bernard a little longer?"


    With a single nce from Hera, Dous mimed zipping his mouth shut, but didn''t start the car.


    He kept his silence.


    The thought of Bernard alone with Camille irritated Hera even further. She felt like her time was


    better spent elsewhere than used to apany Bernard. She should have stayed at home to


    watch dramas and y with Tiramisu.


    "In that case, you wait for him then."


    Hera opened the door, ready to get out, but found it being opened from the outside.


    A tall figure cast a shadow over Hera as he blocked the car door. Although it was backlit, his deep


    eyes glimmered in the dim light, staring at her.


    "Why didn''t you wait for me?" Bernard asked.


    Hera was caught off guard but quickly regained her cold demeanor.


    "Well, you were going to send Ms. Chime back, and we''re not going the same way," she said,


    avoiding his gaze.


    Bernard smirked at her sarcasm. It seemed that his efforts didn''t go to waste, as there was some


    jealousy in the air that night.


    "She''s not a child who needs an adult to send her back."


    Bernard motioned for Hera to move further in to make room for him.


    Hera fell silent as she felt patronized. She wondered if he was implying that she was still a child in


    his eyes. Whether it was his earlier yful banter or the flirtatious gestures under the table, were


    they all simply to tease her?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Hera felt particrly irritated.


    "Is someone jealous?"


    Bernard leaned into the car, his gaze fixed on her.


    Hera felt even more irritated and reluctantly shifted over to give Bernard space.


    "Why on earth would I be jealous?"


    Hera''s tone was firm, implying her irritation.


    "Does that still mean you''re jealous?"


    Bernard chuckled softly, finding her angry expression oddly endearing.


    Hera remained silent as she couldn''t find the words to exin.


    Bernard exined, "I''m not interested in her. I only met with her because of her medical skills—"


    "It seems to me that Ms. Chime is unprofessional. Instead of seeing patients at a hospital, she


    makes appointments at fancy restaurants, even inviting patients to candlelit dinners. Her intentions


    aren''t pure," Hera interrupted in a detachedly.
