"Where are you? Do you want me to bring the food over there instead?" Hera asked deliberately.

It was rare for Hera to act so clingy, so Bernard was actually feeling very happy. But at the same time, he also felt guilty for lying to her.

"I'm at Dusk City discussing a possible business collaboration. It's a bit far, so there's no need for you to bother. I'll go meet you once I'm done."

"What time's your appointment?" She probed.

Bernard replied, "Two in the afternoon."

Hera said regretfully, "Oh, then I don't think I'll be able to make it in time. Just go and do what you need to do."

"Good girl. I'll try to finish up as soon as possible and head to the Everett residence to meet you."

"Alright," Hera said before ending the call. Then, she opened her WhatsApp and changed to her other account, Shadow. After that, she sent the Grandmaster of Astral Nova a message before turning Bernard's computer on.
