Standing before love She’s having fever
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

“How dare you?” Elsie was livid.It was a huge blow to me when Sean brought up the news of breaking up with me that night. Initially, I wanted to salvage the relationship in the morning, but he warned me that I would have to leave the Chase Group if I do not behave myself. I do not want to leave the Chase Group at all. I still have a chance if I stay here but everything will be ruined if I leave. Furthermore, the woman who is standing in front of me is the culprit! If it weren’t for her, why would Sean accuse me of not making a clear distinction between work and my personal matters before breaking up with me? Elsie gritted her teeth in anger.Myra’s phone rang at that moment, so she looked away from Elsie to answer the call. It so happened that the phone call was from Logan. He sounded very polite and he spoke with Myra respectfully. “Miss Stark, may I know if you are free after three today?”Elsie commented sarcastically, “He is even phoning you now, but you have the audacity to clai

Myra pressed her lips together and she finally looked at the man who was sitting at the head of the table.The sunlight that shone through the full-length windows set off his facial features and made them appear even more prominent. There was a cigarette dangling in his left hand and his necktie was loosened slightly against his stark white shirt. His long legs were crossed as he looked at the two design drafts in front of him lazily. Contrary to his usual stern expression or the illusion of his gentleness in the morning, he currently looked like a young professional, shining brightly all over.It’s no wonder women are always throwing themselves at him like hungry wolves. The man in front of me has the potential for causing trouble.“Miss Stark, do you have an opinion about me since you are staring openly at me?”Myra was distracted but Tony’s cold and distant voice jerked her back to reality.Tony tapped away the ashes from his cigarette butt as his black eyes looked directly at her.

When everyone turned to look at her, Myra apologized and she silenced her phone. She checked her phone screen and her hand shook automatically—it was a phone call from Sean.Hence, she canceled the call without giving anything away.However, her phone started vibrating right after she canceled the call. The urgency of the phone call made it seem as if the calls would continue coming in if she refused to answer it.When Myra looked up, she happened to lock eyes with Sasha’s meaningful gaze. Sasha reassured her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, Myra. Head out to answer the call; we will wait for you and start the meal after you are back.”Myra saw Tony looking over at her from the corner of her eyes. She then stood up and excused herself apologetically, “Please excuse me; I have to go and answer this phone call but I’ll be back in a bit.”She answered the call once she left the private room. Sean’s deep and gloomy voice spoke to her from the other end of the line. “Where are you?”Myra f

Two servers were chatting quietly while carrying the flowers into the hotel.The group of people walked out of the hotel without paying much attention to their surroundings. After all, they were used to seeing wealthy men from the younger generation spending frivolously for the sake of pursuing a woman.Nevertheless, Tony, who was leading the group, came to a sudden stop and he asked the two of the servers, “Who is spending so lavishly today?”These two servers had worked in the Ritz Carlton for quite some time, so naturally they recognized a man of Tony’s stature. Nevertheless, they were anxious due to his abrupt question, coupled with his frosty expression. One of them answered tentatively, “It’s Director Chase, who is the director of the Chase Group. He booked the entire first floor of the Ritz Carlton and I heard that it is to celebrate the birthday of a female model!”“What?” Elsie shrieked loudly all of a sudden.Myra felt fortunate that Elsie was present at that moment—at least

Standing before love Tripped up
Another busy day, and another mountain of documents were waiting for Myra to go through. She went to her desk and started working quickly. Nothing’s easy around here. Gotta work hard.Heather was already immersed in work. She had been going to work early for the past few days. Most of the time, she would be the first to arrive. The office was always eerily quiet this early in the morning, but she had to come no matter what. Blake was assigning a lot of irrelevant work for her, but she couldn’t refuse, so she went on with it, though work had been giving her a headache.It wasn’t until she was halfway done when the other employees started coming in, and Blake came the latest of them all. He was the CEO after all, so he could work whenever he wanted. On the other hand, Heather never abused her privileges, nor would she butt heads with Blake. However, Blake kept harassing her, much to her chagrin.She wouldn’t mind working in the company if everything was smooth sailing, but nay. She had
Standing before love Getting past the mental health
Even after a while, Myra didn’t give him any reply, and it made him anxious. Hence, he urged her with a look, but she avoided it deliberately. Although she wanted to marry him, all kinds of thoughts bubbled in her heart when it hit her that the wedding was really happening soon.She didn’t know what she was avoiding, but she suddenly felt bad about herself and didn’t want to see him disappointed.Nodding her head strongly, she then said, “Any day which you think is the best is fine with me.” She didn’t mind letting him make the decision as she was worried that she might feel burdened before the wedding.At this time, Heather came into her mind. Maybe I can tell Heather about it and she can give me some advice, she thought, knowing that Heather had a certain level of understanding when it came to matters of the heart. Right now, Myra didn’t understand why she was having this mentality.A genuine and innocent smile appeared on Tony’s face. He always thought of marrying Myra, and this wa
Standing before love The wedding
Realizing that Tony didn’t seem too interested to speak about his job, Myra decided to shut her mouth. He was busy right now anyway, so she didn’t want to disturb him. As she had her cell phone with her, there were many things she could do to entertain herself, and she didn’t feel bored at all. She would never be bored when Tony was with her.In the end, she decided to play some games as it was a good choice to pass time. While she was fighting vigorously in her game, Tony was fighting hard in his work.Without knowing how many rounds she had played, he finally lifted his head and smiled. “Let’s go home together when I’m done, Myra,” he said loudly, but she was so engrossed with the game that she didn’t hear him at all.Therefore, he paced in front of her and repeated everything he just said. Only then did she look up, and she realized that her neck felt a little sore from looking down at her cell phone the whole time. “Are we going home?” she asked.“Well, we’re not in a rush to go h
Standing before love Make some time to relax
Noticing how quickly they were picking things up, Sharon decided to teach them another form of flower arrangement. Both of them were agreeable and paid full attention to her class with enthusiasm.The two girls who were chatting away happily earlier were now quiet all of a sudden. Flower arrangement was something which could cultivate a person’s temper and calm down a troubled heart.Occasionally, both of them would exchange looks at each other, but they were mainly focused on the work in their hands as they followed the instructions diligently and appeared to be doing a very good job. Heather seemed to be more gifted, and even Myra was a little ashamed. Still, they both enjoyed the process very much and looked like they were in high spirits.When they were finished with their work, a satisfied smile spread on their faces. Myra turned to look at Heather, and they both let out a small breath. One should focus fully in order to get something done well.“That’s all for today. Both of you
Standing before love The maid of honor
For the entire day, Myra didn’t care much about Tony because he pulled a prank on her early in the morning. This time, Tony had pushed it a little too far though, for they almost ended up in a roleplay this morning, and Myra looked like an aggrieved little wife.Still, Tony couldn’t figure out why she was so mad. He merely pretended to be asleep and made her touch a spot which she thought to be very sensitive, but he didn’t expect that she would jump out of bed in a huff. Even after he repented within himself, he still couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps, he didn’t understand that she was mad because she thought that she finally got the chance to sneak up on him, but everything was actually under his control.Later in Stark Group’s office, Myra was busy with work. The company was now on track, unaffected by the change of ownership. Cameron’s whereabouts were unknown, and he might pose a danger in the future, but she wouldn’t exterminate him since everything was on track now, and she was s
Standing before love Tell me a story
While there were some who were sad, others were happy. On the night of Valentine’s Day, Myra and Tony spent the entire night clinging together, whispering sweet nothings to each other. They had been through so many twists and turns, and it had been a long time since they last enjoyed such a peaceful moment. As they immersed themselves in this moment, they held each other, embracing the beauty of it.“I want Heather to be my maid of honor,” Myra suggested.Taking in the smell of her, Tony appeared intoxicated, and he tightened his hand on her chest. He hugged her tightly, as though he had the whole world in his arms, and he began to smell the scent from her hair again.“Mmh,” he murmured softly. Right now, he would agree to anything she said.“Knock it off.” She moaned for a bit while his hands started to stray around her body. This guy is always fooling around! she thought, feeling somewhat annoyed.“There’s no rush about the wedding. Let’s not speak about the details today. Let’s spe
Standing before love Relationship advice
Matthias felt oddly ashamed of himself as he lowered his cutleries. He watched helplessly as Nikolai stormed off. It seems like Nikolai really treats Heather differently. I’ve always thought that he didn’t know anything about romantic relationships, but I guess that was just because he hadn’t met the right person at the right time. It worries me to see him so deeply infatuated with Heather though. Who would have thought that it would be love at first sight for Nikolai?He reminds me of how I had felt when I first fell in love with Myra after seeing her gentle and warm smile. Love is such an unpredictable thing. Who knows if he’ll spend the rest of his life longing for a girl, or if he’ll be able to get over his feelings before that?Heather lowered her cutleries when she saw how worried Matthias seemed. Any spark of romance that they shared a while ago was completely gone after Nikolai’s sudden appearance. They both exchanged glances with one another, and neither of them looked like t
Standing before love Improving the relationship
Matthias chose and sent the flowers out during his break time, so he assumed that the flowers would have reached Heather’s office by then. I’m sure most women wouldn’t say no to flowers. It might be a rather traditional gift, but I believe it’s customary to gift flowers to one’s girlfriend during celebrations like this.Heather had been kept busy the whole day. She was finishing up her work when a young man arrived at her office with a parcel in his arms. The young man broke into a smile when Heather held the door open for him. He was always polite to his customers, but he was especially friendly that day when he saw how pretty his female customer was. “Hello. This is a gift for you. I’ll need you to sign this,” he uttered politely.She simply took a glance at the rectangular-shaped parcel that was still in his arms without showing any intention of taking it from him. He began to feel rather awkward under her scrutiny, and he couldn’t seem to tell what was going on in her mind. “Who s
Standing before love Lipstick are the best
Compared to Tony’s immaculate preparations, Matthias could only soldier on. In order to ask Heather out during Valentine’s Day, he had to prepare a special gift. While hanging around in a shop, he wondered what Heather might like.Myra would know that best. Bored, Matthias scanned through the array of gifts in front of him. Even though the colorful items were pleasing to the eye, he wasn’t sure if Heather would like them.The shop owner was a middle-aged woman. Aware of Matthias’ distress, she took it on herself to make an inquiry. “Sir, you must have come in search of a gift for your girlfriend!” The fact that she got it right at first glance was proof of her shrewdness.Meanwhile, Matthias kept a straight face while nodding stiffly. It was his first time ever doing something like this, so he was uncomfortable with it. All the while, he was all tensed up as if he were dealing with a dire task.“Here we have all kinds of gifts. What does your girlfriend like?” The lady pressed on, as
