Facade

Chapter 199 

Hera was unsure it she should take Samantha’s offer. Then again, Samantha was better at dealing with the opposite ses than her, so Heta agreed to meet later. 

Night time soon came 

The villa the filming crew had rented for Samantha and the rest of the cast was brightly illuminated. The outdoor decorations made it seem like a party was going on. 

Hea and a cold–faced Bernard soon arrived at the villa 

Damian had a few scenes that needed to be shot at night. There was a small crowd gathering in the courtyard, including Leon, two female celebrities, and a few assistants. They were grilling warious food items while chatting and drinking happily. The atmosphere was very lively and boisterous. 

“Heal Over here!” Samantha waved at Heta from her spot at a grill. In fact, she had the grill all to hersel 

“Mr. Killian, since you’re not accustomed to gring food, you can sit there and have a drink or two. Hera and I will bring the food over once we’re done grilling it,” Samantha said thoughtfully when she saw Bernard trailing behind Her Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Bernard just shot an impassive look in the grill’s direction.. 

Really? That was it? 

When Beard went through special training in the past, he was thrown into the wilderness with one requirement–to survive for three days and three nights. Not only did he have to survive on his own, but he also had to avoid getting ambushed by others. 

The conditions in the wilderness were much worse than whatever this barbecue party offered. Miniscule tasks such as grilling meat were nothing to Bernard 

Then again, he wanted to taste Hera’s cooking, so he sat at an unoccupied table and watched her from afar. 

Hera knew that Samantha had said all these things just to distract Bernard. After washing her hands at a sink, she piclost a few lamb skewers before returning to the grill. There, she began grilling the meat 

Back when Hera lived in the countryside, i 

, it was normal for her to go hunting with her neighbors‘ children behind Catherine’s back. They used to grill the meat they hunted, so she was skilled at in 

A short while later, a mouth–watering scent filled the courtyard. Leon was deeply entranced by the scent. 

He ran over to join Hera. “Boss, this smels amazing! i wanna have some!” 

“Mr. Fillian hasn’t eaten anything yet, you know. Do you have the guts to eat the skewers Hera prepared before him? Samantha said jokingly. 

Suddenly, Leon felt like someone was glaring daggers at him from behind. He shivered instinctively out of bright. “I think I’ll just grill the meat myself.” 

After that, he walked away to grab some food for himself. 

“When you bring the food over to him later, don’t just slap on that poker face of yours. You need to be friendiber and sweeter. It’s best if you can act all cute and coquettish in front of him.” 

Samantha placed the lamb skewers that Hera had grilled on a plate. She also used the opportunity to put some grilled com on the plate. After that, she drew a heart on the skewers with ketchup. 

“Are you sure this method will work? Hera gaced down at the heart suspiciously 

“Trust me. This will definitely work” Samantha patted her chest confidently. “Whenever men throw tantrums, they aren’t throwing tantrums for real. They just want your attention. They went to become the center of your world.” 

Was that really what Bernard wanted? 

Hera still had her doubts, but she picked up the plate obediently. As she made her way back to Bernard, she started pondering how to act friendlier and sweeter to him 

At that moment, a figure in red moved to stand in front of Hera. She handed a plate of grilled meat to Bernard immediately. 

Hera stopped in her tracks right away upon witnessing the figure. 

Meanwhile, Bernard was checking the messages on his phone. He was in the midst of replying to a text when he smelled a strong walt of perfume getting closer to him. No amount of grilled food could mask the scent 

The next thing he knew, he saw a plate of grilled food being offered to him. 

Bernard raised his head to see an extremely beautiful woman in a short red dress with spaghetti straps. This elicited a frown from him as he despised strong perfume. 

Sir, you seem lonely. Why don’t we eat together?” 

Maya Dixon fucked a lock behind her ear while winking at Bernard. 

When she had emerged from the bathroom earlier, she was pleased to see a man who was hotter and younger than Damian in the courtyard. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, leading to her coming over just to flirtwith him. 

Maya was an actress who recently got her shot at fame. She was extremely confident in her looks and figure, thinking she could conquer every man in the entertainment industry. Bernard’s expression became icier at the sight of Maya. Before he could tell her to get lost, he caught sight of Hera, who stood behind Maya, Suddenly, he changed his mind. He just said, “Alright” 

Maya’s smile became even more seductive upon hearing Beard’s answer. As expected, no man could resist her charms in this world. 

“1 grilled everything on this plate myself. Have abire.” She took a seat across from Beard. 

Maya took off her high heels under the table, just as she was about to start playing footsie with Bernard, Hera walked over to their table. 

She placed the plate on the table before flashing Bernard a smile. “Dad, here’s your food” 

Maya retracted her loot immediately. She was so shocked that she almost fell from her chair. Disbelief was evident in her eyes as they darted from Bernard to Hera repeatedly.
