Need You Now

Chapter 274 Innermost Feelings

When the lights were on at night, Hearst had changed his clothes, ready to go out. Seeing this, Cathy walked up to him in a hurry. "Where are you going, Hearst?"

"I'm going to meet a friend," said Hearst fondly.

She put her hands in front of her and asked hesitantly, "Can you take me there, Hearst? Well, I want to fit in with your friends. One of your friend name James, he had helped me a lot, so I wanted to thank him in person."

Her words startled Hearst. "James? Do you know him?"

Cathy nodded her head and explained, "Yes, I got lost today and he sent me to the company. He said that he was your friend. Hearst, can you take me there?"

In fact, Hearst never planned to take there, but he didn't expect that she would mention it herself. Since Hearst was afraid that Cathy would tell something inappropriate to Mrs. Miao, he didn't want to displease her. "Okay," said Hearst in a low voice.

In the club, Noah and his friends were playing mahjong, waiting for Hearst. Sitting on the sofa, Kevin sighed and said, "I really don't understand why Hearst gave up on Heidy. I always thought he loved Heidy."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that, too. I'll visit your company next time to see what that girl looks like. How could she be able to force Hearst to abandon Heidy," James echoed.

Kevin frowned and said calmly, "I don't think it's that simple. I believe in Hearst. He doesn't love someone else. Besides, Heidy was the only woman he had introduced to us."

Just then, the door of was opened, and they all looked at that direction. When they saw Cathy standing next to Hearst, they all opened their eyes wide. "What's wrong?" said Hearst in a low voice.

Cathy walked up and bowed to them with a smile. "Nice to meet you. My name is Cathy."

Kevin frowned and said in a low voice, "I can't believe you took her here. It seems that you are serious this time."

Noah had the same thought as Kevin. When he saw Cathy was there, he began to believe in what Hearst had said. But the result was not what they wanted.

Without saying anything, Hearst just sat down on the sofa. James pointed at Cathy, and asked surprisingly, "Girl, so you are Hearst's new girlfriend?"

Cathy came to him and said smilingly, "Mr. James, we meet again. Thank you for helping me last time."

James looked at her with a bitter simile. "If I knew you were Hearst's girlfriend, I would not have helped you at that time. I thought you were just a little girl. I didn't expect you to be so scheming to sabotage the relationship between Heidy and Hearst. As a result, their children lost their mother and father. Sure enough, people know their faces, not their hearts." James didn't want to talk to her anymore and turned around to get some water for himself. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Cathy looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that James would say those words. When she looked at Noah and Kevin, she knew that they were not happy with her coming. And she even felt a sense of rejection. Seeing this, Cathy felt a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Noah broke the ice and said with a smile, "Since everyone is here, let's start."

Without saying anything, Hearst just sat down in his seat and started playing the game. Cathy sat there quietly, listening to their communication. She wanted to say something, but found that she had no chance to fit in at all.

And she also found that they were not friendly to her. Especially James, he smiled at her in the morning, and now she could sense his strong hatred and distain his eyes. This sudden change sadden her.

In the same place, Jessica was chatting with Heidy, accompanied by two men. "I don't know where that Hugh has gone. It's good to chat with him," said Heidy with a slight smile.

"I don't know. Even we meet on the street, we have to pretend that we don't know each other," said Tony with a smile.

Heidy nodded and said, "He is knowledgeable and sensitive. I don't think he will fit in this crowed place. I hope he would be lead a good life."

But she didn't expect that she would have a chance to meet Hugh again in the future. What was more unexpected was that they would meet again in that occasion. Sometimes, fate was a very wonderful thing.

"Miss Heidy, are you unsatisfied with me? I am also a good listener," the man sitting next to Heidy smiled and said.

Heidy raised her eyebrows, pointed at the wine in front of her, and said jokingly, "Well, you drink these first to show your sincerity."

The man agreed readily and started drinking without hesitation. They were happy since he could get the commission from drinking. Seeing him drinking, she had mix feelings. Thinking of the scene that she met with Hearst in the hotel, she was a little confused. She picked up the glass and drank.

They had drunk several cups of wine. When they found that it was late at night, Heidy and Jessica left the bar together.

Hand in hand, they headed to the stairway, talking and laughing. However, Heidy staggered but she was still sober. While walking, Jessica suddenly remembered one thing. "I suddenly remember that Noah and Hearst were also gathering here."

With a calm expression, Heidy said, "That's their business. It has nothing to do with us. As long as we don't bump into them."

"Are you two going to play billiards? My treat. What do you think?" Tony suddenly suggested.

Jessica gave a thumbs up. "Great, go!"

When they were about to leave, they saw the door of the private room opening. Hearst walked out of the room. When he saw the man standing next to Heidy, he frowned again instinctively. But soon, he calmed down.

Heidy walked forward. When she was about to say something, she saw Cathy coming out from behind. When she saw them standing side by side, she remembered that earlier, Jessica had said that Hearst and his friends had a gathering here. Her face slowly became cold. There were many signs indicating that Hearst had been ready to marry Cathy. In that case, she shouldn't ask for trouble.

"Heidy, here you are," said Cathy smilingly.

Heidy nodded indifferently and turned to Jessica. "Let's go to play billiards, shall we?"

Noah came out and asked, "Honey, are you going to play billiards?"

Seeing hat Hearst and Cathy were in deep love, Jessica felt it was so unfair for Heidy. With a broad smile on her face, Jessica replied, "Yes, of course I will. It's on Tony. Noah, we'll go first. Tony, if you want to ask Heidy out for a date, take the initiative."

Tony was smart enough to understand what was behind this. He winked at Heidy and put his hand in front of her. Heidy chuckled and held his hand naturally. "Noah, Kevin, see you later." Then she held on to Tony's hand and left.

Hearst clenched his fists tightly, looking cold and calm. "Why didn't you catch up with them? You know, she is deliberately making you angry," Kevin asked in a low voice.

"I know. That's fine. Only by starting a new relationship can she forget me."

Upon hearing him, Kevin said in a serious voice, "Hearst. I thought that I knew you." With that, he walked towards the direction where Heidy had left.

Noah patted his shoulder, looked at Cathy and said, "If you really like Cathy, I wish you all the best. If you don't, I'm afraid that you will live to regret for letting Heidy go." After leaving these words, Noah also left.

There was a slight change in the corners of Hearst's mouth when he heard what they said. He would not tell anyone that the thing he was most willing to do in his life was to love Heidy. And now, he was loving her in his own way. No one would understand him.

Then Hearst walked up too. Looking at the side face of Hearst, there was a strange change in Cathy's heart.

In front of the club, Jessica was hugged by Noah with his arms around her neck. "Honey, go home with me. Do you want to upset me by leaving with a man so late at night?"

"Screw you! Your friend is the one who makes me upset." Then, Jessica directly put her elbow under his chest.

"Do you still want to play that ball?" asked Tony smiling

With an embarrassed look on her face, Heidy turned to him and said, "Thank you for saving me from that embarrassment, Tony."

"Don't mention it. We are all friends. Your friend is here for you. We can have fun next time." Tony winked at her wittily and then walked inside.

Hearing this, Heidy turned back and saw Kevin. With a smile on her face, she said, "What are you doing here? Do you have a gathering today?"

With one hand in his pocket, Kevin replied calmly, "It's done. Let me drive you home."

She looked at her watch and nodded, "Okay, thank you. Jessica, Noah, see you."

"Okay. Call me when you get home," Jessica reminded.

With an "OK" gesture, Heidy left side by side with Kevin. Looking at the two of them, Jessica asked curiously, "Noah, do you think that Kevin is very kind to Heidy. Do you think he really likes Heidy?"

Hearing this, Noah replied with confusion, "I don't think so. He cares more about brotherhood. In the past, Hearst asked him to take care of Heidy. I guess he has gotten used to it."

Crossing her arms over her chest, Jessica said with a smile, "That may not be the case. Maybe he really likes Heidy. I think Kevin won't tell us even if he likes someone. Let's drop it. It's time to go home." Jessica walked forward, hand in hand with Noah.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Noah couldn't help but smile at her lovingly. Behind them, Hearst standing there in silence. His eyebrows were tightly knitted when he heard what Jessica said.
