Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 571

Hera remembered that Johnson majored in neurology and had made some extraordinary achievements in that field. Since Johnson worked for Bernard, it was only appropriate that she asked Bernard to give Johnson leave first.

"Why don't you spend time with me instead?" Bernard asked with a frown.

Hera froze as she digested his words. "You dummy!" She laughed.

Bernard smiled at her and pulled her into his arms so that she was sitting on his lap. "What kind of dummy would let you sit on his lap like this?"

"I'm serious!" Hera grabbed his hands to stop him from taking things further. "One of my patients is in a coma. Johnson majors in neurology. I was thinking of letting him take a look at the patient."

She'd be able to replace a cure more quickly if she and Johnson worked together on this case. Besides, they had once performed surgery together. She thought they made a good team.

Bernard's heart broke for her. "Is the case so complicated? Let someone else handle it, then. You're only 18. Don't wear yourself out. I can support you even if you don't work. Don't make yourself tired all the time. Why don't we go out for a date the day after tomorrow?"

Speaking of which, Bernard and Hera had never really gone on a date.

"The day after tomorrow?" Hera lifted an elegant eyebrow.

"Yes," Bernard chirped.

Hera turned to look him in the eyes and asked, "Why not tomorrow?"

"Um, because... " Bernard's voice faltered. He wondered how he should answer the question so that it sounded reasonable and also didn't count as a lie.

Hera didn't give him the chance to answer, though.

"Did you peek at my schedule?" she asked. She and Rhett were going to Killian Corporation for a meeting the day after tomorrow.

Bernard cleared his throat awkwardly, and Hera was sure that her guess was correct.

She wasn't very pleased to know that he had peeked at her schedule. "Why are you always trying to stop me from going to Killian Corporation?"

Bernard had been trying to make her terminate the contract ever since she signed the contract.

"This project won't succeed. I don't

want you to get dragged into it. I just don't want you to waste your

and effort." Bernard was frante

his

worry for her.

The resolve in Bernard's voice, the reason she entered Killian Corporation in the first place, the progress XS Corporation had made, and the fact that Tyler was a variable in this situation confirmed that the project's success rate

wasn't that high.

Even so, Hera didn't care about that. She just wanted to achieve her goal.

"Don't worry about that. I need

Johnson to help me for a few days, then you and I will go on a date the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Hera said as she hooked her arms around Bernard's neck.

Bernard knitted his eyebrows together, knowing she didn't want to give up. He didn't agree to her request nor reject it right away.

The silence in the air was broken by the timely ringing of his phone, which he had placed on the desk.

He glanced at the screen, let go of Hera, and stood to grab the phone. At the same time, Hera received a message from Tyler. He sent her an address.

Tyler had promised her that he'd send Hera an exclusive code that could beat even Vulcan himself. With this in mind, she stood to leave the room. As she did so, she accidentally pressed the mouse on the desk, which opened the browser on Bernard's computer.

In the search history, she saw-"An unforgettable date for girls", "date schedule", and "things to watch out for on a date".

Hera was a little stunned to see that. Bernard actually did some research for their date! She had always thought that he was naturally good at these things.
