Standing before love He’s a lucky man
“Thank you, Mr. Clark.” Eve heaved a sigh of relief while packing up the soup that she brought with her, ready to go back home. Before leaving, she smiled at him gently. “Do come visit me sometimes.”“Definitely.” Leo nodded with a subtle smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Chase.”“It’s nothing. In fact, I should be the one thanking you!” Now that Eve was satisfied, she chuckled when she saw the thermal lunch box he held. “I didn’t know you cook for yourself. You’re a fine young man.”However, Leo merely shook his head, his response seemingly indicative of something else. “I didn’t make this. Somebody else did, and she was the one who delivered this to the office. I am merely handing this to the designated recipient.”“Oh, then it must be someone’s wife who delivered this. He’s a lucky man.” Eve could smell the rich aroma of the soup despite the relatively short time they spent conversing with each other.On the other hand, Leo wore a knowing smile while replying, “Yeah. He sure is a lucky man.”
Standing before love You sure you hired a lot
After Lyla knocked on the door, Tony’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Come in.”When she opened the door to enter his office, she knew he was smoking despite the fact that he had his back to her, as she could see the smoke rising from behind the chair. Even though she didn’t get to see his face, she could sense his regal and majestic air.It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to me, she mused. “You sure hired a lot of spies to work for you. I am impressed.” Lyla let out a chuckle after she spoke. Ever since they became allies, she had been getting increasingly unscrupulous.Meanwhile, Tony narrowed his eyes while informing her in an aloof manner, “There are a stack of photos on the table that I suppose will be of use to you.”Despite her slight surprise, Lyla smiled when she recalled the phone call she received at Zion Club that provided her with the information. “I wonder what your terms are, Mr. Hart. I am still worried that I might not be able to repay you.”Even though that was w
Standing before love I don’t mind begging
“I’ll be busy, so I won’t be joining you.” With that, Myra gave Estelle a wink before turning to leave.On the other hand, Estelle gaped at her as she left, so much so that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. No longer able to suppress her anger, she let out a howl. “Myra Stark, you rascal! What did Shawn promise you? Let go of me, you b*stard! I’ll break both of your legs if you dare touch me—Um—” Her voice was muffled out, and things soon heated up.Myra paused before smiling out of relief. It’s time someone teach her a lesson. From what she could see, Shawn’s feelings toward Estelle were genuine, so she was certain Shawn would treasure Estelle.Myra arrived at the cafeteria on time, but Lyla was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t in a hurry, so she ordered a glass of lemonade after taking a seat. After some thought, she ordered another glass. While sipping on her drink, she glanced at the bustling street view outside. The sun had set rather early. As darkness descended, the s
Standing before love Why are you dissatisfied
What are you doing?” Before Myra could react, and just when Lyla was about to kneel on the ground, a cheerless voice came through. While Myra froze, Lyla was smiling when nobody could see her. After that, the two of them turned around to cast their glances in the direction of the voice, only to see Sean marching toward them with a grim look on his face while holding onto his phone. With the silent cafeteria as a backdrop, the ceiling lights that shone on him seemed to make him glow. However, it didn’t soften his gaze as he stared at Myra with a steely look.“Sean, I’m alright. Didn’t I tell you I’m having a drink with Myra? I can solve this on my own, so don’t—” Lyla began explaining herself in a flurry of panic. When she turned to look at Myra, she inadvertently showed him the angry slap mark on her left cheek. Then, as if realizing what she had done, she tried to turn away to hide that mark, but Sean held her head in place by pinching on her chin.“Sean, I’m fine, really…” Although
Standing before love There’s nothing to say
“That won’t be necessary, considering that there’s nothing else to say between us.” Myra wiped her face with her sleeve. The sight of Lyla and Sean being all lovey-dovey was a sore sight for eyes.Somewhere near them, a waiter opened the door to the cafeteria, while the manager greeted the four people who came through flatteringly, “Allow me to offer my sincerest of greetings, Mr. Hart, Mr. Windrow, Mr. Renaud, and Mr. Samson. What brings you?”The four men before him represented the four most prestigious families in Bradfort City. Having worked his way up to his position as manager, the man knew who they were, which was why he wanted to make sure he didn’t cross them by offering his best services.The four men were none other than Tony Hart and his friends. As soon as they entered the cafeteria, their handsome looks and extraordinary temperament garnered the attention of all the customers. Given their graceful movements, it wasn’t hard to surmise that they were of noble birth. Howeve
Standing before love Why didn’t you end up marrying her
“Sean, I have never done you wrong.” Myra suddenly raised her head and looked into the eyes of the happy couple before her. “I don’t know what is the matter with Lyla and your baby, but I have never hurt your child. I have never forgotten my duty as your wife over the past two years. Not only am I serious about our family, but I even kept our marriage a secret and went to work as a designer in the company for your sake. But everything turned out to be my wishful thinking!”She was always in business attire, which she put on for him as she shed the finicky airs of the daughter of a wealthy family and plunged into the workplace. Although the workplace was beset with difficulties, she never complained of exhaustion or thought of flinching for the sake of his career. Sadly, her smart attire looked intimidating at a glance, for it seemed too rigid and out of place compared to the long green dress that showed off one’s tenderness.“Do you know nothing about the baby?” Sean narrowed his eyes
Standing before love He could have gone chasing another woman
“Do you genuinely love me? Do you love me all this while?” Sean suddenly lowered his head and stared fixedly at the lady before him. His voice was soft, but it had many feelings mixed in it. “Were you really forced to leave me against your will back then?! Do you really have no relationship with other men?!”Sean threw several questions in a row as though he was wagering his life on them.Lyra clutched the clothes on his chest with tears in her eyes. “I have always loved you and nobody else. I was forced to leave you against my will back then, and I… have no relationship with other men!” she answered. Suppressing the inexplicable misgivings within her with all her might, she turned her head away and bit her lip upon seeing that Sean had noticed her crying. “Actually, I shouldn’t have returned to the country. You married Myra, and your mom likes her and dislikes me… I… I…”With his warm fingers, Sean wiped the tears on her cheeks, which seemed to scald his heart. Over the years, he had
Standing before love Always running into tony
Tony knew very well what it felt like when he clasped Myra in his arms. Sometimes, it’s difficult to devote oneself to another woman once one’s heart belongs to someone else. After sighing softly, he rested his chin on her head, smoothed her hair gently, and whispered in a hoarse voice that sounded far gentler than usual, “Stop crying…”His soft voice tenderly healed the wound in Myra’s heart like a gentle breeze. At this very moment, Myra was no longer in the mood to feel everything around her; all she wanted was to vent all the repressed grief and anguish within her by crying.As the pedestrians hurried to and fro outside the car window, no one seemed to notice the sad and yet slightly heartwarming scene of the man and the woman in the car.It wasn’t until the night settled in, the evening lights were lit, and the whole city was enveloped in the darkness outside the window that the woman next to him went from weeping into calmness. As her eyes glazed over, she only felt that the emb
