Chapter 1479:
She gestured to a maid, who took the soup and carried it into the kitchen.
Erica held Heather’s hand and guided her to the sofa, and the two of them chatted casually for a while.
Then, halfway through the conversation, Erica asked a servant, “I haven’t seen Rupert this morning. Where is he p>
It wasn’t often that Heather came to visit, and Erica clearly wanted to create an opportunity for Rupert and Heather to spend time together.
“He’s gone to the office,” the servant replied.
“He really is a workaholic,” Erica complained, turning to Heather.
Heather didn’t follow Erica’s tone. Instead, she smiled and praised him. “I’d call it discipline. It’s rare to see someone as responsible as he is p>
That response made Erica laugh, even more satisfied with Heather than before.
“But I haven’t seen him in so long.” Heather fluttered her lashes as she spoke, making herself look especially pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Erica’s heart softened. She patted Heather’s shoulder and said gently, “Don’t be sad, dear. He’s just a bit of a blockhead sometimes p>

Heather put on a startled expression. “Wouldn’t that be inappropriate? People might misunderstand p>
“What’s wrong with it?” Erica stepped forward and held Heather’s hand. “I like you, that’s why I’m taking you with me. You don’t have to care what others think p>
Heather nodded, a flicker of joy crossing her face the moment Erica looked away.
Soon, the two women headed to the company together.
Erica took Heather by the hand and led her straight to the CEO’s office. They didn’t bother knocking. They simply walked in.
Outside, the employees immediately fell into hushed whispers.
“What’s going on? Is there trouble between Rupert and Annabel p>
Before long, the news that Erica had brought Heather into the CEO’s office spread through the entire company.
The company had been flooded with rumors in such a short time. By that afternoon, word had spread that Annabel and Rupert were breaking up, and that Erica had already chosen Heather as her future daughter-in-law.
By the time Annabel arrived, those rumors were everywhere.
