Kris was bewildered, and a hint of surprise surfaced in her heart. She looked at the unsmiling but extremely captivating man in front of her. The thought of him coming alone to find her struck her mind. Now, he was agreeing to her invitation. Could it be that he’s… actually into me?Without waiting for her, Tony had already stepped forward with his pair of long legs and was walking out.Kris hurried to catch up. When passing by Myra, she didn’t forget to slam hard into her shoulder while saying delightedly, “Tsk. Don’t waste your time. I’m telling you; this man is mine! Myra, I know you’re also interested in him, but you should take a look at your current identity. I advise you not to waste your effort anymore!”After speaking, she caught up with the man in front, and the two of them walked toward the elevator together.Myra slowly turned around. At the elevator, the two of them seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions became more easy-going. Myra could see that the
This meal was probably one that Kris had spent the most thought on.Yet, somehow, Tony’s expression was sour from the very beginning. Ever since they entered the private room, Kris’ advances had been repeatedly turned down.“Director Hart, I heard that you love playing golf. I quite like it too. My father was the one who taught me. I wonder if we can play together soon.”Kris tried to remain calm as she expressed her status in the Stark Family in hopes of giving herself extra credit.When she ate, she acted even more elegant than usual.Tony took out a cigarette and lit it before casting her a glance. “I’ve been busy lately.”Kris’ body went slightly stiff, but she quickly recovered with a laugh. “That’s normal. Since you’re busy, we’ll talk about it again in the future when you’re free. By the way, Director Hart, how high of a chance does the Stark Group have of cooperating with the Hart Group on the Elsinore Garden Project?”The fact that Tony came to the Stark Group to personally m
Kris was dumbfounded, unable to keep up with Tony’s train of thought at all. A mix of emotions flooded her eyes and her face relaxed a little. “All right. Then—”“But, I’m sorry, Miss Stark. I can’t let you be in charge of this project.”What he just said diminished Kris’ ability to maintain her ladylike demeanor. Her face twisted horribly. “Director Hart, I didn’t do anything to upset you. Aren’t you going a bit too far?”“Upset me?” Tony’s eyes turned frosty in an instant. His gaze swept over her plainly before he walked out. “Miss Stark, perhaps you don’t know, but I cover my shortcomings.”After that, his figure disappeared from the door of the private room.Inside the room, there was a ‘crash’ as plates were hurled onto the ground.Kris was trembling with anger.She didn’t expect that the beautiful moment she anticipated would turn out to be like this.Obviously, she almost had Tony in the palm of her hands. Who would suddenly intervene and disrupt her plans? Damn it! His lover,
Myra stared straight into Tony’s eyes. Her eyes were as tranquil and lovely as the moon on an autumn night. There was no sign of impatience, and Tony couldn’t explain why they were able to soothe his aggravation, leading him to trust her words subconsciously. He quickly retracted his gaze.Noticing his behavior, Myra felt a sourness and numbness at the back of her throat. She took him into her arms again and whispered, “To be honest, I don’t want to leave you too. All I want is for you to keep me. Tony… I’m in love with you. So, it hurts me when you think that I still love Sean.”Then, the man in her arms stiffened. Myra felt her eyes burning. She leaned in before she suddenly gave him a peck at the corner of his mouth. “Tilly told me that men need coaxing too. Here I am, coaxing you like this, so aren’t you going to forgive me?” She looked into his eyes. As usual, his eyes were deep and cold. Yet, at this moment, there was an incomprehensible emotion inside them.Back when Myra was i
“We’re outside!”Myra quickly turned her head away. Her ears were flushing as if blood was about to drip out from them. Tony could see the fine hair around her ears. The softness hit something in his heart. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms.Myra struggled to break free. Nonetheless, realizing that she couldn’t break free from him, she gave up and let him be, walking out of the Ritz Carlton half-hugged and half-dragged by him. When they came to the entrance, she saw Aaron blinking at her as he laughed at her mischievously. She couldn’t help but glare at him.However, Aaron soon felt a cold gaze glancing at him. In the next instant, his face stiffened. Letting out a dry cough, he looked away and thought, This kid from the Hart Family is too mean.By the time they got to the entrance, the valet quickly got Tony his silver sports car.Tony opened the door to the passenger seat. After Myra got in, he went around the car and got into the driver’s seat. Yet, the car did not leave immedi
This time, Lyla took a deep breath before quickly answering the call. Immediately, a gloomy man’s voice was heard on the line. “Lyla, it’s been so long since you went back. Did you find yourself a new boy toy? You forgot about me so fast, and you didn’t even pick up my call!”As soon as Lyla heard his gloomy and ruthless voice, her hand trembled subconsciously. Then, she pretended as though she was cold when she said, “Director Walton, I broke up with you before I left. I hope you won’t call me again. You’re disturbing me.”“Ugh…” There seemed to be a woman moaning softly from the other side of the phone, and it was coupled with an ambiguous thumping sound. Lyla was very clear as to what was happening over there. Although she felt disgusted, she only bit her lip instead of hanging up. Gideon’s cold voice that sounded discontented rose again. “Disturbing… It looks like you’ve really found yourself someone new. But, what should we do? When you first came to me, this game wasn’t somethin
Naturally, that conversation became a thorn in Eve’s heart. She was never fond of Lyla, and now, Lyla was just a real eyesore.Eve’s expression was gloomy, yet Lyla didn’t seem to have the patience to entertain her anymore. She walked past her directly and went straight for the house.Eve’s expression sank further. Infuriated, she pulled her lips into a tight line, though she could only choke down her rage. This wasn’t the time. She didn’t want Sean to be caught in the middle of their fight. Still, don’t let me find out what you did behind my son’s back, Lyla! she thought as her heart boiled with hatred.After Lyla hung up on her, Kris didn’t look good. She knew what kind of woman Lyla was. Nonetheless, they had a common enemy. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. This wasn’t the time for her to fall out with Lyla. But, the scene of Myra flirting with Tony set the rage in her heart ablaze.Tony dropped Myra off somewhere near the Stark Tower.Taking her time to unfasten her seatbelt
In the afternoon, Cameron gave Myra a new mission: she had to acquire the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Project that the Bradfort City’s government had recently called for tender. The Stark Group had attached great importance to the project, considering it as important as the Elsinore Garden Project for the second half of the year. When Myra got her hands on the project, the company was stunned, and they appreciated her effort.At night, before Tony called her, Myra had taken the initiative to give him a call, telling him that she had to work overtime tonight, so she might be going home late.By the time Tony received the call, he had already driven his car to the entrance of the Stark Tower. Leaning against his car, he smoked nonchalantly. He was dressed in a suit with the buttons on his chest undone, exposing the white shirt underneath his suit jacket. His outfit added a touch of sass to his originally serious aura. The waves of smoke brought out the beauty of his handsome facial features.
