Need You Now
Chapter 44 Forbid you to associate with anyone

Hearing his words and looking at his cold expression, Heidy was stunned for a few seconds and calmly answered, "A senior."

For this explanation, Hearst knew that it would not be so simple. With a serious expression, Hearst said in a low voice, "But why did he hold you?"

Feeling his peculiar behavior, Heidy was confused. After thinking for a while, Heidy suddenly remembered Mrs. Xu's warning to her. They should keep a distance from each other. Thinking of this, Heidy smiled, "I don't know. I don't need to know what Steven are thinking about, just as I don't need to think about Mr. Tan's thinking."

Hearing her answer, Hearst frowned more tightly, "Heidy."

"Mr. Tan, I know what I'm doing. Please rest assured, Mr. Tan. I will do my job well. I will try my best to stay away from unrelated people, and will not cause any trouble to you." Said Heidy in a calm and distant tone.

Noticing her anxiety, Hearst squinted and asked, "what did Lora Tan say to you?" He had investigated the accident. On that day, Heidy purposely escaped and ran into Lora.

Looking at him, Heidy smiled and replied, "Nothing. We're just chatting."

"Is he chasing you?" Then he switched the topic back to the point of his discussion.

In her eyes, there was a flash of surprise. Heidy paused for a few seconds before she came to herself and looked at him coldly. "Mr. Tan, this is my private affair. I don't seem to need to report to you. If there is nothing else, please excuse me." Then she left.

Noticing that she walked past him, Hearst raised his hand and was about to catch her, only to replace that her hand passed by him. Watching her leave, Hearst frowned. He felt that Heidy deliberately distanced herself from him. But he had no idea why.

Seeing her leaving, Hearst suddenly felt a kind of irritable mood. Hearst walked in the opposite direction.

All afternoon, Heidy devoted herself to her work, not thinking about anything else. As a matter of fact, she couldn't be distracted either. In the office, Heidy folded her arms across her chest and looked at the familiar strangers expressionlessly.

With a smile on his lips, Jack looked at her and said: "Heidy, let's make a deal."

Looking at his smiling face, Heidy responded in a half smile, "Mr. Xu and I have no interest in making a deal."

Hearing this, Heidy shrugged and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so direct. I think you will put the company's interests first and put your personal feelings behind."

"About what?" Said Heidy quietly.

Picking up the documents prepared in advance, Jack said calmly, "Recently, JA group and the Hua group have some conflicts because of the competition of some companies. Today, on behalf of JA group, I sincerely invite you to be my friend. We will try our best to provide assistance to the Hua Group in the following year.

Hearing what he said, Heidy didn't directly agree, but said lightly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. The JA group will be so friendly. What do you mean?"

"Well, we hope that you will fire my uncle. As far as I know, he is my uncle and many people know that too. That's why many people thought my uncle Hearst didn't get along well with my father when he was working in the Hua group. I just don't want to have too much misunderstanding. That's why we asked for this. "

Looking at his expression, Heidy sniffed, "What if I don't agree?"

"If

f you want to do good for the company, you should agree to our conditions. The Hua group was not stable yet and in need of help from a strong friend like JA group. Heidy, though we don't know your relationship with Noah. However, he is not close to the Hua group, so he won't help you much. It's a good deal to break up with an employee and gain an ally, isn't it?"

Heidy didn't say anything and just tapped the table with her fingers. One minute later, Heidy blinked playfully. "I won't let you down."

With joy in his eyes, Jack said with a smile, "Heidy, did you agree?"

"Of course I refuse." Heidy raised her chin slightly and said indifferently, "On the contrary, I will spare no effort to keep Mr. Tan in our company. Being able to let JA group make such concessions, it seems that Mr. Tan's ability makes you scared. If that's the case, of course I won't miss such a good opportunity.

Her answer froze Jack's smile and warned, "Heidy, it means that Hua Group will oppose our company. This is no good for you."

With her eyebrows raised, Heidy replied calmly, "Thank you for your warning, but I remember that we are enemies now. Therefore, they'd better make their enemies stronger. If Mr. Xu came here today just to talk about this matter, it was probably unnecessary for you to stay here. Assistant Chen, see them out." Said Heidy quietly.

Knitting his brows, Jack pointed at her with a towering rage, "Heidy, since you are so insensible, don't blame us for being ruthless. Let's wait and see who is the final winner. " Jack snorted and left angrily.

Heidy watched him leaving with a faint smile on her face. The paper was tossed away. She was very clear that JA group would never let itself suffer losses. It seemed that talking about the contribution of Hearst to the Hua group had caused Jacob Xu a sense of danger.

"I don't know what kind of feud he has with the Xu family. Is it related to Mrs. Xu?" Heidy thought in bewilderment, It was time to get off work. After tidying up the documents, she stood up and walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door, she ran into Hearst, who was about to enter the room. Seeing each other, both of them stopped for a few seconds. Heidy regained her composure first and said with a smile, "Mr. Tan, what can I do for you?"

Seeing the expression on his face, she couldn't tell what Hearst was thinking. "Heidy, I'm telling you, whatever your relationship with that senior, you are not allowed to be his girlfriend," Said Hearst in a tough tone.

Hearing what he said, Heidy asked in reply, "Who do you think you are? Why do you make such a request to me? Friend, employer, or married man?"

Looking at her with a tensed face, Hearst said coldly, "Before the agreement is over, you are not allowed to contact anyone."

Her heart jolted. Suddenly, Heidy understood why he didn't let go of the issue. Clenching her dress, Heidy muttered, "You worry that I will date with other men and have sex with them. Are you worried that other people might be the father of your baby?"

Based on their current relationship, Heidy could think of no other reasons except for worrying about the possibility of pregnancy. However, Heidy felt a little bit hurt when she thought of that. Surprise flashed through his eyes. Hearst didn't expect her to think so. Noticing her confused expression, Hearst didn't say anything. He just said coldly, "There's no need to explain my reason."

He seemed to acquiesce in it? Heidy sniffed at her and said in self-mockery, "It turns out that in your heart, I am such a slut? Do you think I will agree to have sex with anyone no matter who he is? Can you look down upon me just because we have a deal?"

Heidy had a good impression of Hearst for a long time. He was her only hope when she was desperate. He had a special place in her heart. But to her surprise, in his views, she was such an existence. Her chest heaved and her face turned livid with rage.

Noticing her anger, Hearst frowned and said, "No."

"What you mean is to disclose this information. Hearst, I'm shameless to be your surrogacy tool. Even though I know you are married, I still have to continue such disgusting activity. Do you think I'm willing to do that?" Heidy shouted very loudly.

Hearing her self-abasement and looking at her tearful eyes, Hearst realized that she misunderstood him. "I didn't look down upon you," he said

"Don't say it again. I understand! I can swear to you with my loving father that I won't have an affair with another man during the agreement. But you don't have to know my private affairs!" Heidy pushed him away and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

She kept patting hard on the elevator door, and it closed slowly, keeping Hearst out of her sight. She kicked the wall furiously and felt a fit of pain on her foot. "Hearst, you bastard. I hate you."

Heidy yelled angrily, but tears couldn't help but fall into her eyes.. Thinking of his acquiescence just now, Heidy felt sad. When the tears were about to fall down, Heidy raised her head and tried to hold them back.

Heidy took a deep breath to adjust her emotions and said, "Heidy, do not humiliate yourself in the future. We don't belong to the same world. Why would you even think about it?"

The elevator door was opened. With her chest out, she walked forward proudly. No matter how embarrassed she was, she didn't want to be looked down upon.

Seeing her leave angrily, Hearst frowned. He didn't expect that she would be so angry. When he remembered what had happened just now, Hearst grimaced and said, "That idiot. I didn't say I didn't believe her..."

However, when he thought of the scene that she was embraced by another man, and she did not refuse, his heart was in a burning flame.

Thinking of their conversation just now, there was a moment when he wanted to tell her that he liked her. But he couldn't speak it out. Confessing to her was a difficult thing for him.

Being agitated, Hearst frowned and urged him into the elevator.00000000
