Under the heiress facade

Nicholas and Wayne were stunned as they both recalled the awkwardness from the other night at the same time. The two immediately stood six feet apart and said simultaneously, "We're not close!"

To Nicholas, Wayne was clearly trying to irritate him. On the other hand, Wayne would have no intention of hanging out with Nicholas if it weren't for Bernard's instructions.

At that moment, Hera entered the room. James said first, "Hera, are you done with work? I've booked a private room at the Imperial Hotel for dinner tonight."

Hera scowled slightly at the name of the hotel. She wondered if he intentionally selected the Imperial Hotel.

But after thinking about it, she recalled that James valued his pride very much. Naturally, he would select the most famous hotel in Jedburgh for dinner.

"Sure. Let's go," she answered with a nod. After all, the chefs at the hotel were the best of the best. She shouldn't have to miss out on good food. Besides, Bernard was outstation for work, so it would be impossible to run into him.

Before leaving, Mildred's question confirmed her thoughts. "When will Mr. Killian be back? Why don't we wait for him?" she asked.

"He's not free, so we don't have to invite him," Hera casually answered.

"What about tomorrow or the day after? No matter how busy he is, he has to eat." Mildred refused to give up.

Hera became slightly irritated. "Don't invite him. We've already broken up."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.
