If Hera wasn't around anymore, would Bernard treat Everly slightly better?

Hera had picked up on Everly's odd expression. As she recalled Everly's previous intentions toward Bernard, her gaze darkened.

"Go and finish your work."

Everly cto her senses and answered, "Alright."

Bernard ignored Everly as he held Hera's hand and walked toward the eastern wing.

The wall featuring the periodic table had been partitioned into a small office that was approximately 161 square feet. The office

had a desk and a small couch with a blanket that had not been put away.

Hera scowled slightly while looking at the couch, which did not seem large enough for Bernard. "Have you slept here before?"

"Sometimes, | work until it's very late, so I'd sleep here," Bernard explained.

Hera suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. "Did you really have to do that?"

"lI wanted to be closer to you. Otherwise, you might run off with sother man, and | wouldn't be able to catch up."

Bernard hugged Hera from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He inhaled her faint scent, thinking that he was happy

whenever he was around her.

"You're such a smooth talker." Hera gently patted Bernard's cheeks.

"Only for you." Bernard took her hand and laced their fingers together.

"Oh right, have you investigated what | told you about?" Hera recalled the photos.

Hesitation flashed through Bernard's eyes. "Not yet."

Hera frowned. "Is it thatplicated?"

"Yes," Bernard answered before changing the subject. "Sweetie, I'll invest in your development of new chips, okay?"

"How will you do that?"

"You can stop working for Rhett and joinat XS Corporation. Or you could start your ownpany. As long as you want to

develop your own chips, I'lle up with the money," Bernard explained.

"No! | don't want to spend your money," Hera objected. She joined Killian Corporation to infiltrate their internalwork, not

because she actually wanted to develop chips for them.

Bernard scowled slightly. "Whose money are you going to use if not mine?"

"Mine."

"But | want to start apany with you as a married couple."

Hera raised an eyebrow. "When did | ever say that I'd marry you?"

"Who else would you marry if not

me?" Bernar@’stood in front of Hera

Breaking up one twas enough for a lifetime.

Hera was slightly stunned, and her heart began to race. "Oh, are you threatening your landlady?"

Bernard did not flinch. "As long as we don't break up, you can be my landlady and boss. I'll listen to anything you say."

Hera smiled, feeling delighted. "Such a smooth talker. Quickly prepare ssteak for me. I'm starving."

"Yes, boss."
