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
At that moment, Sean’s eyes were as cold as that of his in the photograph.Myra was stunned to silence by his violent outburst. By the time she glanced at Sean’s fist, it was already trickling with blood due to the broken glass from the photo frame.She forced herself to look away while laughing bitterly. “It is enough that I’m lying to myself and everyone else. Why would you lie to yourself? For the past two years, you have been looking for her shadow from all the women you have been with. I am sure that you have noticed that too—Eris’ lips, Elsie’s eyes… Sean, you can tell me if you do not love me. As long as you are still in love with Lyla, I can even help you find her. I—”“I told you that I no longer have feelings for that woman!” Sean cut Myra off while hissing in frustration. I wonder if he is speaking to me or to himself.His eyes were cold and distant while he regarded her, as though he would skin her alive if she were to comment further.Myra trembled involuntarily while gri
After visiting the Hart Group, Elsie became especially serious about the Sunny Bay Project. She often worked overtime and late into the night, garnering countless praises.On the other hand, after Myra’s demotion, she became Elsie’s assistant.Myra knew that this was Sean’s way of making her life difficult while punishing her along the way. Eve was furious but Myra accepted it calmly.“Photocopy these documents for me. Rearrange the data and hand them to me when you’re done. And Myra, do you even know how to prepare a cup of coffee? Don’t you know that you should add some sugar? Please bear in mind that you are just an assistant now; stop acting like a team leader! Be quick on your feet and carry out tasks efficiently. You are always so slow. Are you planning on accepting your salary for doing nothing?”Myra accepted the folders from Elsie while tightening her grip, keeping quiet as she made her way to the photocopying machine.Tilly approached her and commented indignantly, “Miss Sta
“Miss Foster, kindly bear in mind that the Hart Group is not a wet market where you can secure a deal by haggling. Director Hart has already mentioned that the draft from Chase Group is rather crude. The Hart Group has doubts about Miss Stark’s attitude in seriously treating the design. If this continues, the collaboration between the Hart and Chase Groups will end at this stage.” Leo did not hold back when he made the announcement in front of the two staff members from the Hay Group. I was utterly humiliated in front of Sasha and her designer! Furthermore, I did not get to meet Director Hart at all today!Elsie had been venting her frustration at Myra throughout their return journey to the company. Watching her lose her temper, Myra could no longer endure it no matter how good-natured she was. “I do not know what I have done to have hurt the company,” she stated coldly.“How dare you fight back! Do you know what the Hart Group commented about you? They said that you are irresponsible
Sean had moved his arm away while he coldly glanced at Elsie. She found his icy stare eerie and intimidating to the point where her hands froze halfway while she reached out.“Director Chase…”“Miss Foster—” Sean stared calmly at the elevator further ahead from them. At that moment, the elevator doors had just closed and a complex emotion flashed through his eyes. However, it happened in the blink of an eye; it was so quick that even Elsie did not notice it. He swiftly returned to his cold and distant self. “Remember what I told you.”When Myra left the Chase Group, she was unsteady on her feet. The faster she walked, the more in a rush she became. It almost felt that a predator was chasing her from behind, causing her to break into a wild run ahead in the end.She had already crossed two streets when she felt a shooting pain from her heels. Finally, she sat on one of the benches on the roadside as she started to sob.The weather at the end of summer had brought along a heatwave, but
He continued in a calm manner, “I believe you are aware that it is extremely irresponsible for a designer not to personally attend a meeting regarding the project. The Hart Group is being lenient by merely bringing up this issue verbally.”The figure, who was quickly marching away, suddenly came to a halt.Myra’s back still faced Tony as she bit on her lip. That is true. A designer would not be able to express the data in the design draft without attending the meeting in person. He or she would not be able to provide opinions or advice in the editing if needed. However…“I did not intend to miss the meeting.” She gritted her teeth while she turned to look at the man who had somehow stopped right behind her. Tony was taller than her by more than a foot, so she had to look up to gaze into his eyes. His eyes always have a sense of crisp to them, no matter when it is, just like Sean. He is an unfaithful man. Myra closed her eyes while speaking to him. “If I said that I did not attend the
Myra was slightly surprised when she accepted the sandals from Tony. However, she recalled watching a video of his interview and she suddenly remembered that the young and talented Tony had a woman whom he was in love with. Hence, she felt relieved instantly. A man like him doesn’t seem like a casual and fickle-minded man. In the end, she lowered her guard and rode the elevator with him.“Meow, down! Good girl. Let me reward you with a grape.” They heard a lazy voice speaking the moment the elevator arrived at Tony’s floor.The elevator doors gradually opened and they caught sight of a man and a dog.A man, who was dressed in a floral shirt, was not too far away from the elevator. He was fooling around with a large white Samoyed. The man’s eyes glinted in delight when he saw the two of them in the elevator before he instructed his dog to run toward the elevator. “Meow, your master is finally back. Quick, come over here. I’ll take you to him.”In the blink of an eye, both the man and d
Elliot swallowed because he could already imagine his tragic end.Everybody in the Hart Group all heard a heart-wrenching and desperate wail from the director’s office today.When Myra returned to the Chase Group, the atmosphere felt odd.She could sense that people were discussing something, but they pretended that they were attending to their own matters when she turned to look at them.The strange atmosphere was even more intense when she returned to the Design Department.Tilly approached Myra to give her the thumbs-up. “Miss Stark, you are awesome!”Myra had an idea what Tilly was referring to, but she shook her head. “Fortunately, the Hart Group is fair in these matters. Otherwise, I might not even get the project back no matter how I explain myself.”Tilly scanned the office before whispering to Myra, “Miss Stark, you not only secured the Sunny Bay Project. Did you know that Mr. Logan from the Hart Group phoned us earlier? He pointed out blatantly while heavily hinting that the
