Chapter 595
Matthias’ sudden stern attitude created an awkward tension between the both of them. Heather didn’t
think that her words would stir up such a big reaction from him.
“You and Locke Group…” She had a bold prediction, but she wasn’t sure if she should say it out loud. It
might be presumptuous to ask him so directly.
“I don’t want to talk about Locke Group anymore.” His complexion improved slightly. He was a little
sensitive about Locke Group these days, which inevitably got Heather thinking.
“Okay. Let’s not talk about it, then.” She didn’t want to cross his boundary. That was the basic form of
respect between people.
They still had half an hour left before the plane would land. Heather and Matthias also tacitly agreed
not to talk anymore. The entire first-class cabin was quiet; everyone was in deep sleep, while Heather
was looking elsewhere.
Previously, she was worried that someone was following them and suspected that the person might be
in the first-class cabin. After observing for a while, however, she didn’t come to any conclusions. In
order to ascertain whether these people were dozing off or not, she kept her eyes on them one by one
for a while to look for anyone suspicious.
When she smelled the mild scent in the air, it reminded her of the scent she smelled in the lounge
earlier. In an instant, it put her on alert. The mild scent disappeared very quickly this time, so she failed
to find its source once again. Meanwhile, there wasn’t any movement from everyone else.
Even Matthias, who was beside her, did not notice anything strange. Hence, she wondered whether it
had been her own hallucination. Still, she couldn’t remember where she had smelled that scent before.
This special type of fragrance was not from a common perfume in the market. It could also be a
perfume that she had never smelled before, or it could be that person’s own scent.
Since her nose remembered it, she was sure that she had smelled it somewhere before. Where on
earth have I smelled this before? She loathed herself once again for not having a better memory. She
couldn’t think of it even though she racked her brain. It proved that this was simply a very ordinary
person with a peculiar scent.
Suddenly, she had an epiphany. I know why—it must’ve been a passer-by. She seemed to remember
smelling this scent when she first returned to the country. If she tied everything together, then it meant
that she had been followed ever since she returned.
It had taken her so long to figure it out. Standing up from her seat, she was determined to find out
where this scent was coming from.
Matthias found her actions strange and also stood up. Feeling worried, he asked, “What’s wrong?” He
didn’t know what had gotten into her again.
“Someone is definitely following us and is right in this plane. Before the plane lands, we must find
them.” She felt like this was a chance they couldn’t miss.
A hesitant look appeared on his face. They had less than twenty minutes before the plane landed.
During this time, it was best that they stayed in their seats and did not move around.
“We don’t have enough time,” he remarked, for it would only be wasted effort. In a bit, an air
stewardess would come and tell them to stay in their seats.
“If you don’t come with me, then I’ll go by myself.” With that, she dashed out of the first-class cabin.
On the other hand, he couldn’t let her go by herself. Thus, he quickly followed after her. “I’ll go with
you.”
With a stern expression on her face, Heather said, “You take the left, and I’ll take the right. If you find
someone with a special fragrance, you have to come and tell me.”
He gave a firm nod. Since she had mentioned that mild scent before, he was sure that he would be
able to identify it once he smelled it again.
The other passengers were puzzled by their strange behaviors. Not long after the two started their
search, however, they were stopped by the air stewardess.
“My apologies, Sir and Ma’am. The plane is landing. Please return to your seats.” The air stewardess
was standing in their path.
They looked at each other for a moment and tried to break through the barrier, but it wouldn’t be
advantageous for them to cause a scene on the plane either.
That person would definitely capture their act, and Heather didn’t want Robert to be worried about her
back in Bradfort City. While she hesitated, Matthias didn’t move either.
She pulled his hand back and said, “Let’s go!”
Feeling the softness in his hand, he turned around to follow after her. He didn’t think Heather would
give up so easily.
She whispered in his ear, “Hold my waist.”
He listened to her and stretched a hand out to hold her waist. Without knowing the reason behind her
intention for carrying out these intimate acts, he placed his hand stiffly around her waist.
Her waist was slender and soft. He became enamored by this feeling, but he didn’t dare to make a
move. Their physical intimacy was making him slightly nervous.
Upon returning to their seats, they separated immediately, as if nothing had happened.
“What was your intention?” he inquired.
“That person is definitely watching us in secret and has definitely captured our physical intimacy.” A
cold smirk grew at the corner of her lips. Seeing his puzzled response, she continued, “You have strong
media resources in Bradfort City. Ask the reporters to pay more attention; I want to know who would
release the news.”
He knitted his brows slightly, feeling like there was a problem with her thinking. “Why would they do that
themself? Even if we did find the person who released the news, they would be no more than an
insignificant figure.”
“It would still be a clue. Having some clues is always better than none.” Since they couldn’t find out who
the stalker was right away, she felt like they could take their time with it. As long as they had some
clues, they would definitely uncover the truth.
“Okay.” He agreed. She’s making a lot of sense.
Barely a few minutes later, the plane landed smoothly at the airport. Once they walked out of the cabin,
it was a different world outside. They hurriedly left this airport and planned to head to a different airport,
where they could buy plane tickets that would take them to Iceland.
