Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 251

Heidi was instantly wide awake. The irritation vanished from her expression as she glanced at the time. After a brief pause, she agreed to meet Simon the next

day.

Simon was too excited to sleep that night. By the time he met Heidi the next morning, there were dark circles beneath his eyes.

They met in a private room at a small restaurant.

Simon pulled off his baseball cap, his eyes practically gleaming with anticipation. Lately, his life had been on a downward spiral. Everything had been going wrong. But now, he saw his chance to get back up again and to claim everything that should have been his.

Heidi frowned. "I've been retraining in crocheting. Mr. Jovarek ordered me to find out who Shirley was. Now that he knows, maybe I can finally leave."

"Haven't your parents come looking for you?"

"I can't drag them into this!" Heidi snapped. "They just think I'm on a trip with friends. They didn't ask too many questions."

That was why she had been hiding. She was always sneaking around, covering her face with a mask every time she went out. If anyone she knew saw her, she might as well never show her face again.
