She thought that she had just done a great job of saving Tony from an awkward situation. Little did she know that for a split second, irritation flashed across his eyes when she referred to Myra as his groveling employee.Director Bridger’s expression brightened up after his daughter’s comforting comment. “Tony, let’s not beat around the bush anymore. Our families are quite a matching pair, and my daughter here is a woman unlike any other, if I may say so myself. Should we sit down somewhere and talk about this?”He was straight to the point this time; he didn’t feel the need to be indirect about it anymore.Belle blushed bright red on the spot, sheepishly taking a brief glance at Tony. She stamped her feet in embarrassment and said, “What are you talking about, Dad?! How can you say something like that straight to his face…”She stamped her feet again and bit her lip nervously, apparently overwhelmed with awkwardness. With that, she quickly ran off to the lounging area nearby.Direct
Tony let go of her soon after.Following his line of sight, she saw Belle standing alone nearby.She seemed to be hurt and upset, glancing in their direction every now and then.Myra suddenly felt a surge of disappointment as Tony made his way toward Belle’s direction. She breathed in deeply and continued to practice her posture and swing, just like how he had taught her.Seeing that Tony was approaching, Belle couldn’t help but chew on her lip like a sad puppy. She looked up at him with red-rimmed eyes and asked, “Tony, is that woman… your girlfriend?”She’d initially expected herself and Tony to get along romantically, but before anything could happen between them, her father had stormed off in frustration; he even told her to give up on getting together with that man.Racking her brain for a reason, she figured it could only be that woman who was trying hard to learn golf at a distance.It was no secret that Tony wasn’t one to mingle and had never been involved with another woman;
Myra took a deep breath. For some reason, the thought of the noble and handsome man panicked her deep down inside, but she collected herself and replied, “Miss Bridgers, you should try to win Director Hart’s heart with your own capability if you love him. If he loves you, no one else can win his favor but you.”Belle’s expression changed at Myra’s words; upon recalling what Tony had said to her, she apparently took the last sentence Myra said to her as an act of provocation. We both know that Tony loves the woman in front of me; isn’t she just telling me that Tony loves her, and no one else can win his favor?!“Myra…” This was the first time Belle hated someone so much deep down inside. I have finally met the man I love, yet he doesn’t even bother giving me a glance because of the woman in front of me… For the very first time, she looked at the dignified woman before her as if humbling herself. Softening her voice, she then asked, “Tell me—what do you want so that you’ll leave him?”H
Will Myra still melt into my embrace if she learns all about this?Elliot waited for a long time; just when he thought that Tony wouldn’t say another word, the latter spoke flatly. “Spread the word.”“Okay!” Elliot immediately responded. He and the other two had been rubbing their hands in anticipation and could hardly wait to go all out!The cell phone in Tony’s pocket vibrated again. This time, however, Tony didn’t hang up the phone.Meanwhile, Myra took a taxi home.She would be lying if she said she wasn’t upset, for this was the first time the man had turned down her request so bluntly. Before she realized it, she had grown used to turning to Tony for help—doing so had become a matter of course. However, such a thought made Myra’s heart shudder. Only then did she realize what made her upset wasn’t that she was hurt by both Sean and Lyla, but that Tony had refused to help her!Such a realization caused her heart to race inexplicably. An unknown feeling lingered in her heart, but s
“What’s the matter?” Tony asked impassively.Elliot gloated at once. “What else do you think? Old Master Hart nearly spat blood in anger after you and Myra’s public display of affection at Wilson Golf Club.”“Well, he can pretend that he didn’t see me then.” Tony leisurely leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. Won’t I be yelled at if I call him back? Since they’re so desperate for a granddaughter-in-law, I’ll bring one back.Meanwhile, Sean took Lyla and Eve back to the Chase Residence after the incident at Chase Group. Eve didn’t agree to go home at first, but she had to keep her temper after watching the video Sean showed her.Honestly, she didn’t quite believe that Myra would do something unfair to them, but what Myra did in the video forced her to be suspicious. Do I… really not understand Myra at all?Sean had asked Lyla to go downstairs for the time being, leaving only him and Eve in the bedroom at this moment.Looking as though she had grown ten years older in an instant
Sebastian had been squatting around since mid-afternoon as he was afraid that he would miss out on the opportunity to bump into Myra otherwise. Since he had even forced himself to skip dinner just to stay around, he felt his tummy rumbling. As he watched the hour hand of his watch turn toward 9.00PM, he started to feel rather displeased. Hmph, she’s a woman who stays out late at night! Terrible! Right as he was mumbling to himself under his breath, he heard the ding of the elevator. His eyes immediately lit up without him realizing it himself.Myra felt completely exhausted as she dragged her body out of the elevator. She was startled when she saw Sebastian standing right in front of her. The building she stayed in had extremely high security; the management wouldn’t usually allow for strangers to enter as they pleased. But this man… Myra felt her entire body tensing up. Isn’t he Tony’s grandfather, Old Master Hart? I saw him once during his birthday feast on the luxurious yacht. What
Myra didn’t know whether to laugh or cry right then. She couldn’t seem to figure out the reason Sebastian came over to visit—it made her nervous at the start, but she eventually calmed herself down. Perhaps he misunderstood the situation and came over to thank me. I really didn’t leak any confidential information to Hart Group, so Old Master Hart’s abrupt actions made me very helpless.After she sent the old man off, she returned to her unit. Myra’s phone on the couch lit up with a new notification, informing her about the new friend request on her Messenger app. She had no choice but to tap on the ‘accept’ button, and her new friend quickly sent her a message.‘I’ll consider you as having passed the test since you made pretty decent noodles.’ I’m considered to have passed the test… What is he talking about? His text only left Myra more frustrated than ever. She simply threw her phone aside before she headed into the shower.When Eve woke up, she realized that Sean had already left to
Once he returned to his own condominium, Tony took a shower before he lazed around and pulled his phone out. This was the first time he had ever fiddled with the Messenger application on his phone; he never had the time or interest to do such things in the past. However, after he heard the single, simple word in Myra’s voice note to him, he felt as if his heart was immediately soothed by her presence around him.It was almost a compulsion for him to lie on his bed and play the same voice note continuously. “Okay,” said Myra’s voice note. He pressed to play it again. “Okay.” Again. “Okay.” He was about to play it another time when his phone started to ring. Naturally, Tony answered the call immediately.“Are you actually using your phone, Tony? How did you pick up your call so quickly?” Elliot sounded flattered on the other end of the line. Tony’s response wasn’t pleasant as the voice that came from his phone wasn’t the one that he longed to listen to. “Spit it out. What is it?”“It’s
