Facade Chapter 102


    “Wow! What a jaw–dropping physique. Let me see”


    Samantha identally caught a glimpse of Hera’s phone screen and immediately pounced over to


    grab it.


    She added, “Is this a selfie of the “young uncle‘ you were tallding abour?


    my gosh! He’s the definition of perfection. With a body like that, his looks must be off the charts.


    “Are you sure you dislike him? If so, introduce him to me. I’m all in for that body,”


    Hera blushed and tried to snatch her phone back.


    “Out it out and give me back my phone.”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Samantha deliberately refused and pointed at the photo mischievously.


    “Do you find this body type attractive or not? Tell me the truth.”


    Hera hesitated before admitting, “I do!”


    Her ears turned even redder.


    With a physique like that, who wouldn’t like it?


    “So, who was just ying tough, saying it’s only a coborative rtionship?


    Samantha finaly found a way to tease Hera. Sheughed hysterically.


    Hera managed to retrieve her phone. Then, she realized that she had identally sent a flirtyemoji


    during their struggle.


    Her eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly tried to long–press to delete it. But before she could, she


    noticed that Bernard had deleted the photo. He also sent her a text reply.


    “I sent the wrong thing. Do you like it? Beg me, and I send it again.”


    Hera fell silent, and her mind raced with questions. She wondered if she was the intended recipient


    of that message and considered if he perhaps wanted to send it to Camille instead


    The mere thought of it made Hera’s blood boil.


    “What aplete jerk!” she thought inwardly.


    Meanwhile, on the other end, Bernard narrowed his eyes as he stared at the emoji Hera had sent.


    He muttered, “Her phone wasn’t hacked, right?”


    It turned out that he didn’t mistakenly send the photo. He had actually sent it on purpose.


    After Bernard parted ways with Hera that day, he suddenly received a brief emergency mission from


    the military. So, he had to leave Norburgh for a few days.


    While on the mission, Bernard was too busy to get in touch with Hera Surprisingly, she didn’t reach


    out to him either.


    Feeling frustrated by her apparentck of concern, he nced at the chat window where it read,


    “Hera is typing “He was eager to receive her response.


    However, the typing indicator disappeared after a minute, and even the flirty emoji was deleted


    Bernard was speechless but convinced that Hera’s phone hadn’t been hacked


    At that moment, Johnson knocked on the study door before entering.


    “Bernard, the car is ready. We can head to Astral Nova.”


    Bernard responded with a grunt. He remained fixated on his phone and showed no intention of


    getting up.


    Johnson paused for a moment, then asked, “Should we pick Ms. Hera up?


    “No.”


    Bernard suddenly stood up


    “Why?”


    Johnson was puzzled. Hera had requested to find the Eclipse Stone, so he thought she should be


    informed about it.


    Bernard remembered Hera’s words from before.


    “Once we find the Eclipse Stone and cure your illness, our rtionship is over.”


    He couldn’t understand how their rtionship could be over that simply alter locating the Eclipse


    Stone.
