Standing before love I’m not close
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
Last Updated : 2024-08-14Standing before love Let’s discuss on the road
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

Standing before love Search for an answer
As Myra’s vision blurred, she fell into Heather’s arms, hearing the latter’s anxious voice calling her name.The sudden onset of pain was identical to the headache she had experienced before, but this time, it affected her whole body. Myra gripped her chest tightly, the pain threatening to cease her heartbeat. Without delay, Heather lifted her friend up.She then took Myra to the hospital in her car, but something peculiar happened. A short while after arriving at the hospital, Myra could feel that the pain had vanished.It was exactly like her headache last time, which left as suddenly as it came. Heather’s eyebrows creased in a frown as she wondered what was going on with Myra.“What did you see at the rockery?” Myra was staring in a particular direction when she fainted, but when Heather followed her gaze, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.“A cave,” Myra answered with a hollow look in her eyes.The frown on Heather’s brows deepened. How could a simple cave cause her to b
Standing before love Memories of school
It was on the day before the wedding that Heather heard from Myra that the best man was Lucas. The moment Heather heard that name, she knew that he was one of Tony’s bros. She tried to recall Lucas’s features, remembering that he didn’t talk much and seemed to be more mature.“So, what do you think?” Myra asked teasingly, “You did say you want a best man who is tall and handsome.” She jokingly reminded Heather of what she said before.Heather smiled in response, which in turn caused Myra to feel slightly curious about it. The two proceeded to sip their drinks in silence.Myra’s wedding was just around the corner, and Heather was glad to see that Myra looked comfortable and relaxed. Myra had slight pre-wedding anxiety before, so it was nice to see that she had adjusted herself.“I’m going to give you an amazing gift,” Heather said, grinning.Myra replied, “Then I will also give you a superb gift in return.”“Why not just give me a gold card?” Heather joked.Looking at the time, Myra re
Standing before love Candidate chosen
During this period, Heather looked at Myra from time to time. The atmosphere around the table was strange, giving her a sense of foreboding. The gaze that Myra returned was intriguing, as well—it made her feel uneasy.After lunch, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Heather glanced down at the time on her cell phone with a slight frown. Noting the movement, Myra realized that she could not keep Heather any longer, for lunch had already used up quite a bit of Heather’s time.Meanwhile, the clock read 2.00 PM. It was time for Heather to be at work. After dithering for a long moment, Heather decided to be direct and opened her mouth to tell Myra, “I have to go to work, so I’m taking my leave.”As it was, Heather rarely got to visit Hart Residence and had no wish to leave so hastily, but time did not permit her to linger. With a slight nod of her head, Myra responded, “Of course! Go on.” Of those at the table, she was the only one who could truly understand how busy Heather was.Fe
Standing before love A different kind of blind
Tony had assured Myra previously that Philip and Lucas would surely show up if Heather agreed to come over. As expected, the two of them reached a while later.While Philip and Lucas didn’t confirm their attendance in the group, Tilly and Elliot confirmed that they couldn’t make it. As Tilly was completely overwhelmed by her public affairs, it had been a while since she and Elliot were separated due to her work. Hence, it was normal that Elliot would go look for Tilly when he had free time.While Shawn was busy every day as the vice-mayor, he obviously wasn’t free during the noon, so Estelle was the only one who replied in the group.‘Wait for me. I’ll be here in a bit since I wouldn’t want to miss out on Myra’s food.’ After last night, she wasn’t as afraid of Heather any longer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if she had to spend time with Heather alone because everyone else would be there as well.Since Estelle was the only person left that hadn’t reached, it wasn’t appropriate for them to s
Standing before love Candidate for the best man
After a long moment, Myra replied faintly, “We can have only one best man. Who should we pick?” There would be a quandary if they really intended to match Heather with the best man.Then, the choice for best man would become complicated, as there were currently two candidates from which Myra and Tony had to choose the one most suited to Heather.“Well, from your point of view, who would suit Heather more—Philip or Lucas?” It wasn’t up to Tony to decide, since Myra knew Heather better, anyway.“It’s hard to say. They both have their merits,” Myra replied hesitantly, wondering if she should have them meet up once more before the wedding.It felt too improper for them only to have met under the flickering lights of Zion Club and the influence of alcohol. There was a possibility that in broad daylight, Heather could feel a different spark altogether with the two candidates.“We still need to see what Heather thinks,” Tony suggested meaningfully.“Let’s find a time to meet up tomorrow,” sh
Standing before love Gathering at Zion club
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
Standing before love Dare to challenge
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
Standing before love A hopeless chauvinist
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
Standing before love The wedding preparation
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
