Myra hesitated. Serena, who was next to her, took the box and stuffed it directly into her hands. “My grandma’s giving it to you, so just keep it. You don’t need to be shy.”Myra nodded and opened the box. Inside was an emerald bangle that was glittering and translucent. It was beautiful.Surprised, she looked at Lisa. The old lady’s face was blank. “Have a good future with Tony.”Holding the box, Myra’s heart eased and her features softened. “Thank you, Old Madam Hart.”Lisa gave a brief nod, then turned and walked upstairs.Myra left the Hart Residence with Henry’s driver.The driver blabbed, “I wonder who was smoking outside the residence last night. There are cigarette butts all over there… Tsk, tsk…”Myra didn’t think too much about it.Henry was chattering while asking her to come back to the Hart Residence again next time.“Myra, my mom said that you’re going to marry my uncle. Is that true?” Henry asked suddenly.Myra was startled. A blush crept up her face as she patted his h
Myra’s heart fluttered. Tony’s smile contained too many emotions, and it confused Myra for a while. What does he mean by that? Is he upset because I want to draw a line between us in front of Kris?Myra spread the first draft on the coffee table in front of the man. As she tucked the hair that had fallen out of place behind her ears, she asked tenderly, “How about a cup of black coffee?”During the time they had spent together, Myra noticed that when he was working, he had the habit of drinking black coffee.Tony saw Myra looking straight at him, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his sharp eyes. He became even more irritable. Placing the cigarette back on his thin lips, he turned to look at the drawings on the table, then answered curtly, “Sure.”His cold response stunned Myra, but it made Kris smile. “Sis, please hurry up and bring a cup of black coffee. Don’t leave our distinguished guest waiting for too long.”Having said that, her beautiful eyes fixed Myra with an icy stare.My
Kris was bewildered, and a hint of surprise surfaced in her heart. She looked at the unsmiling but extremely captivating man in front of her. The thought of him coming alone to find her struck her mind. Now, he was agreeing to her invitation. Could it be that he’s… actually into me?Without waiting for her, Tony had already stepped forward with his pair of long legs and was walking out.Kris hurried to catch up. When passing by Myra, she didn’t forget to slam hard into her shoulder while saying delightedly, “Tsk. Don’t waste your time. I’m telling you; this man is mine! Myra, I know you’re also interested in him, but you should take a look at your current identity. I advise you not to waste your effort anymore!”After speaking, she caught up with the man in front, and the two of them walked toward the elevator together.Myra slowly turned around. At the elevator, the two of them seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions became more easy-going. Myra could see that the
This meal was probably one that Kris had spent the most thought on.Yet, somehow, Tony’s expression was sour from the very beginning. Ever since they entered the private room, Kris’ advances had been repeatedly turned down.“Director Hart, I heard that you love playing golf. I quite like it too. My father was the one who taught me. I wonder if we can play together soon.”Kris tried to remain calm as she expressed her status in the Stark Family in hopes of giving herself extra credit.When she ate, she acted even more elegant than usual.Tony took out a cigarette and lit it before casting her a glance. “I’ve been busy lately.”Kris’ body went slightly stiff, but she quickly recovered with a laugh. “That’s normal. Since you’re busy, we’ll talk about it again in the future when you’re free. By the way, Director Hart, how high of a chance does the Stark Group have of cooperating with the Hart Group on the Elsinore Garden Project?”The fact that Tony came to the Stark Group to personally m
Kris was dumbfounded, unable to keep up with Tony’s train of thought at all. A mix of emotions flooded her eyes and her face relaxed a little. “All right. Then—”“But, I’m sorry, Miss Stark. I can’t let you be in charge of this project.”What he just said diminished Kris’ ability to maintain her ladylike demeanor. Her face twisted horribly. “Director Hart, I didn’t do anything to upset you. Aren’t you going a bit too far?”“Upset me?” Tony’s eyes turned frosty in an instant. His gaze swept over her plainly before he walked out. “Miss Stark, perhaps you don’t know, but I cover my shortcomings.”After that, his figure disappeared from the door of the private room.Inside the room, there was a ‘crash’ as plates were hurled onto the ground.Kris was trembling with anger.She didn’t expect that the beautiful moment she anticipated would turn out to be like this.Obviously, she almost had Tony in the palm of her hands. Who would suddenly intervene and disrupt her plans? Damn it! His lover,
Myra stared straight into Tony’s eyes. Her eyes were as tranquil and lovely as the moon on an autumn night. There was no sign of impatience, and Tony couldn’t explain why they were able to soothe his aggravation, leading him to trust her words subconsciously. He quickly retracted his gaze.Noticing his behavior, Myra felt a sourness and numbness at the back of her throat. She took him into her arms again and whispered, “To be honest, I don’t want to leave you too. All I want is for you to keep me. Tony… I’m in love with you. So, it hurts me when you think that I still love Sean.”Then, the man in her arms stiffened. Myra felt her eyes burning. She leaned in before she suddenly gave him a peck at the corner of his mouth. “Tilly told me that men need coaxing too. Here I am, coaxing you like this, so aren’t you going to forgive me?” She looked into his eyes. As usual, his eyes were deep and cold. Yet, at this moment, there was an incomprehensible emotion inside them.Back when Myra was i
“We’re outside!”Myra quickly turned her head away. Her ears were flushing as if blood was about to drip out from them. Tony could see the fine hair around her ears. The softness hit something in his heart. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms.Myra struggled to break free. Nonetheless, realizing that she couldn’t break free from him, she gave up and let him be, walking out of the Ritz Carlton half-hugged and half-dragged by him. When they came to the entrance, she saw Aaron blinking at her as he laughed at her mischievously. She couldn’t help but glare at him.However, Aaron soon felt a cold gaze glancing at him. In the next instant, his face stiffened. Letting out a dry cough, he looked away and thought, This kid from the Hart Family is too mean.By the time they got to the entrance, the valet quickly got Tony his silver sports car.Tony opened the door to the passenger seat. After Myra got in, he went around the car and got into the driver’s seat. Yet, the car did not leave immedi
This time, Lyla took a deep breath before quickly answering the call. Immediately, a gloomy man’s voice was heard on the line. “Lyla, it’s been so long since you went back. Did you find yourself a new boy toy? You forgot about me so fast, and you didn’t even pick up my call!”As soon as Lyla heard his gloomy and ruthless voice, her hand trembled subconsciously. Then, she pretended as though she was cold when she said, “Director Walton, I broke up with you before I left. I hope you won’t call me again. You’re disturbing me.”“Ugh…” There seemed to be a woman moaning softly from the other side of the phone, and it was coupled with an ambiguous thumping sound. Lyla was very clear as to what was happening over there. Although she felt disgusted, she only bit her lip instead of hanging up. Gideon’s cold voice that sounded discontented rose again. “Disturbing… It looks like you’ve really found yourself someone new. But, what should we do? When you first came to me, this game wasn’t somethin
