Myra stopped her writing, but she did not raise her head. “You don’t have to return with me. I will explain to Mom when I arrive home.”“What are you going to explain to her?” Sean’s expression was dark as he narrowed his eyes. “Myra, you are not mad, are you? I never pegged you as the petty type.”Petty? Myra closed her eyes. What should I do to avoid being petty, then? “My husband is going to purchase an outfit for his lover before taking me home. Sean, don’t you think that you’re being cruel?”As she knew that she would not be able to concentrate on the design, she put her pen down before she raised her eyes to look at the incredibly handsome man. Sean was indeed good-looking—he was blessed with a high nose bridge and thin lips. When he gazed at a woman gently, it felt like he was about to procure the whole world for her. How could any woman not fall in love with a man like him?“Director Chase, if you have nothing else to talk about, please take your leave. I can’t attend to you a
However, Myra was nowhere like Estelle.Even though she was extremely disappointed, she still had a slight hope for that man.She was well aware that she was hopeless, but she was unwilling to let her sacrifices over the years go in vain. If so, how much worth does my love even have?When Myra saw Estelle feigning that she lost her balance before accidentally falling into the arms of a man not far away, she smiled and heaved a sigh as she rose to leave.In the main hall of Zion Club, Leo handed the car keys to the waiter for him to park the car. As soon as he entered the club, he saw Myra leaving with a dazed look on her face. Although he was slightly shocked, he quickly entered the club.The particular private VIP room of Zion Club was different from the normal rooms as it was Elliot Samson’s private room bearing more luxury while remaining low profile. Cigarette smoke filled the entire room as people played cards, sang songs, and even wailed loudly.If one had a good eye, one would
“Here’s what happened—I was supposed to send Director Hart back to his apartment, but the hospital called me just now and told me that my girlfriend was involved in an accident and she’s now admitted into the hospital. I can’t find anyone else to take my place, but I saw you were here when I entered Zion Club just now. Can you please do me a favor and send Director Hart home? He’s now drunk, so he can’t drive and I don’t feel safe handing him to anyone else.”Myra was speechless when she heard this. She took a deep breath and touched her forehead with a conflicted expression. “But—”“Please, Miss Stark! My girlfriend is in a really serious condition at the hospital so I would like to head over quickly. Can you please help me out? I’m really worried about my girlfriend right now!”Well, I don’t know how serious his girlfriend’s injuries are, and I can’t just reject his request under such conditions. On top of that, I don’t want to leave a bad impression on Leo that might affect the Sun
Because the pockets were close to his thighs, they were quite warm. Yet, they did not make her feel disgusted at all. After fumbling around in his pockets, she did not find any keys. At this moment, sweat had already broken out on her forehead.Tony’s thigh muscles were quite hard and strong. Even though she tried to be careful, she still could not avoid touching him.Her entire face was flushed red, right to the tips of her ears; she was not sure if it was because of her fever or embarrassment. Exasperated, she switched to the other side of his pocket to look for the keys. As it was further away from her and the angle was not quite right, it took Myra several tries before she finally found the keys. Throughout the entire process, she was so shy and embarrassed that she felt that her breathing almost stopped.She was not sure if it was an illusion, but she felt as though Tony’s body stiffened slightly.She breathed out heavily and took another look at him. Even with his eyes closed, h
Myra snuggled closer into the embrace and found another comfortable position. Finally, she sank into a deep sleep again.Philip was witnessing the scene in front of him—the man among their group of friends who was most uninterested in women was now hugging a woman gently.If he did not see this with his own eyes, he would have thought he had entered another fantasy.“Tony, I’m going to give an injection to this lady.”Philip gulped and waved the injection syringe that was filled with medicine in front of him. However, Tony’s face darkened immediately.“She’s having a fever. This is the quickest way to let her fever go down.”Philip did not dare to wave the syringe around anymore. He merely touched his nose as he explained it to Tony innocently.I’m just giving her an injection! I’m not going to hurt her!Seeing the way he hugs her preciously, it seems as though he will kill me off if I dare to hurt the woman in his arms.Tony gently pulled Myra slightly further from his arms and nodde
Seeing the vegetables in her plate, Myra was speechless and she felt stumped. He was the one who asked me to stay because he has some comments on the design draft. Nevertheless, she knew very well that she could not afford to offend the important customer in front of her.It was a rather quiet breakfast but she felt that something was off. Sitting right opposite to her was Tony, who ate his food as if he was at a fine dining restaurant even though it was a perfectly average breakfast at home.Myra could not help recalling the interview last morning. A man like him is the best among those who are already top of the class.After the breakfast, when Myra saw that Tony was wiping his mouth elegantly, she planned to continue their conversation on the Sunny Bay Project. However, he got up and walked upstairs after leaving a sentence. “I’ll send you home later and we can discuss it on the road.”Myra was stunned upon hearing that. She planned to reject his offer and told him that she would j
As soon as she opened the door of the mansion, Greta’s voice rang out.“You are finally back, Young Mistress Myra! When Madam called you last night, your phone was switched off. Mr. Chase looked for you for the entire night and he just returned to his study not long ago. They were so worried for you! Madam only went upstairs to sleep at three in the morning.”Myra felt slightly guilty upon hearing that. “Last night, I… stayed at my friend’s place and my phone ran out of battery, so I didn’t get their calls.”Of course, I can’t let them know that I stayed the night at Tony’s place.Greta nodded as she handed a thin blanket to Myra and winked at her as she hinted, “I saw Mr. Chase asleep in the study just now. I found a blanket for him so that he won’t catch a cold. Now that you are back, you can hand it to him, Young Mistress Myra.”Holding the blanket in her hands, Myra stood frozen to the spot.She knew that Greta meant well. In this house, both Greta and Eve always tried to make Sea
The color drained from Myra’s face.“Myra, I have never been interested in you. Do you want to know why?” Sean cackled cruelly, as though he was relishing the moment. “You are a contentious woman and it turns men off. Even if I am burning with desire, just looking at you would dampen my mood!” Then, he picked up his suit jacket and phone, leaving her without another backward glance.In the study, Myra stared at the abandoned thin blanket on the couch unblinkingly, her gaze eerily empty.“Miss Stark, Miss Hay from the Hay Group is here to see you.” Myra received a phone call from the receptionist the moment she arrived at the company in the afternoon.She was feeling slightly tired at that point. “Pass her the phone.”There was a rustling noise and a sweet and crisp voice spoke over the line. “Myra, it’s Sasha. I’m at the ground floor of your company.”“How can I help you?” Myra wasn’t too friendly because she wasn’t close with anybody from the Hays, apart from her mother-in-law.Sasha
