Standing before love Then you don’t have to do it
When someone cared about a person, they would always worry about what the person’s family thought of them.Suddenly, a large, warm hand grabbed Myra’s left hand. She looked up in surprise and was met with Tony’s gaze, which seemed to be gleaming with the coldness of the stars.Seeing that Myra’s eyes were a little red, Tony pressed his thin lips into a hard line. “She can’t get in through the door? Well, she can come in through the window, can’t she? I’m just taking a wife; why are you getting so emotional?”“You a**hole! I’m your grandfather!”“Are grandfathers supposed to hinder their grandsons from being happy?” Tony’s reply came in an instant. Sebastian was rendered speechless, and he was so angry that he found it hard to breathe. He promptly lifted the cup next to him and took huge gulps of water. Almost immediately, he started to choke, and he was coughing so hard that his thick neck turned red.Myra wanted to go to him when she saw this, but Tony held her back and said coldly,

Fearing that they were going to be seen by Sebastian, Myra didn’t dare to make a sound or raise her head. Her left hand went down as she tried to quietly remove Tony’s restless hand.Instead, his hand grabbed hers.Tony held a mug in his left hand as he drank his water in a leisurely manner, but his right hand gripped Myra’s left hand tightly, and he suddenly placed it on his own thigh.For a moment, Myra froze. Beneath her hand, the only thing separating her from the taut lines of his muscles was his pants.His body heat was being passed to her hand through the thin fabric of his pants, and she was blushing all the way to her neck. She looked up and her breath skipped as she shot Tony a look. However, Sebastian, who was opposite from her, saw this and frowned. He looked at her, feeling displeased. “Why are you blushing?”Myra’s heart leaped. Upon catching sight of the way the man next to her was trying not to smile, her entire body seemed to heat up. Under the table, Tony even squeez

The things weren’t snacks at all. It was a box of adult toys. The sexy underwear set on the top was barely made of a few scraps of fabric, and the black laces were particularly eye-catching. Not to mention, the toys below were of various lengths…A phone rang, and Myra jumped. She instinctively reached for her phone, but because her hand was trembling slightly, she accidentally pressed the speakerphone. Everyone heard the ambiguous voice of the woman on the other end. “Miss Stark, I presume you’ve received the goods? The cable and CDs in the bag have been prepared for you according to Estelle’s instructions. I hope you enjoy using them.”Then, she hung up the phone.There was a terrible silence in the hallway. It went on for so long that Myra felt as if it was the end of the world. Then, Sebastian let out a loud snort, opened the security door, and left.Myra stood in front of the box. This was her first time being put in such a difficult situation. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she f

Myra had no choice but to take a bath in the bathroom in her bedroom. After taking the longest bath she had ever taken, she finally got out of the bathtub.Then, she slowly blew her hair dry. Initially, Myra was wearing a bathrobe, but when she remembered that there was a man in the house, she changed into her loungewear.In front of the mirror, one of her hands unexpectedly reached for a bottle of perfume that had never been used before. When she snapped back to her senses, she placed down the bottle of perfume, but her ears had already turned extremely red.When she opened the bedroom door, she was still in a daze, and her cheeks were rosy from the heat in the bathroom.Outside, Tony was watching TV and looking bored. Upon seeing her step out of the room, his eyebrows lifted and a teasing look appeared in his eyes. “I thought you fell asleep in the bathtub.”As his gaze swept over her, Myra didn’t know what to do with her hands and feet. Pretending to be calm, she walked toward the

All of this felt too familiar. Back when she slept in Tony’s apartment for one night, upon waking up the next day, the bathroom in his apartment had been set up like this as well!Back then…Myra quickly turned to the storage basket next to her. That basket contained the clothes she changed out of last night that was meant to be washed, and on the top was her nude-colored bra. Above that were Tony’s black boxer briefs!Myra’s face flushed red at once.Her phone rang, and when she saw that it was a call from Tony, she immediately hung up.Tony was at the airport at that moment, and he was about to board his plane. When his call was hung up on, he raised his eyebrows slightly. She’s just woken up and it’s so early in the morning, yet her temper’s so bad already?He called her again.This time, Myra didn’t hang up. However, when she picked up, her tone was mildly unpleasant. “Yes?”Tony let out a low chuckle. “Angry?”Myra kept a straight face and didn’t speak.“Hey, I’ll deal with thing

“Nonsense!”“Nonsense!”Two different voices said the same thing.Myra stared at Lyla, who had been quiet since earlier. This woman has become even more gorgeous than before. After all, she has managed to get between my relationship with Sean and replaced me. All of her tactics have succeeded.Suddenly, she leaned closer to Lyla and said faintly, “Miss Fisher, you’ve racked your brains just to be with Sean. However, the heavens are keeping watch on the wicked and the good. One day, you’ll accidentally expose your cloven foot.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Approached by Myra, Lyla shrank and buried herself in Sean’s arms in fear. “Myra, you’ve betrayed us so many times. Even though Sean accidentally put you in prison, there’s no need for you to hate us like this, is there? Your debt to us… has been written off.”Noticing that Lyla was hiding in his embrace out of her fear toward Myra, Sean looked right at the latter’s cold gaze. “Myra, we didn’t know you’d be here when we

Nonetheless, Conan had an ax to grind. He wanted Tony to get together with Myra. No matter if it was for Myra’s sake, or the things she was about to face in the future, to be with him would be the greatest benefit she could gain.There was a gentle smile at the corners of Myra’s mouth. “He’s very kind to me. I know he treats me sincerely. And he’s also… the man that I want…”When she uttered the last sentence, her voice softened, and her face blushed. Secretly, she glanced at Conan. When she saw that he wasn’t making fun of her, she went on, “If I choose the wrong one again this time, I won’t regret it…”“You’ve grown up, Myra.” Conan let out a sigh.Conan’s words still echoed in Myra’s ears when she left the Ritz Carlton. ‘Are you sure, Myra? Don’t you want that kid from the Hart Family to help you? You must know that with his help, you can achieve double the result with half the effort. You can even take back what’s yours from the Stark Group. It’s nothing more than a meeting for a

Myra’s sleepy voice sounded soft and gentle as if it was a small hand caressing Tony’s heart. The impressive New York street view was no longer visible to him.Remembering the moment he saw her message after he got off the plane, his heart softened all of a sudden. He took the cigarette away from his thin lips and put it out on the ashtray. His charmingly low voice rose in Myra’s ear. “Did you miss me?”As if an electric current had passed through her body, Myra shuddered slightly and buried herself deeper into her bed. Her muffled sound rose from under her blanket. “Yes…” Then, she heard his low chuckle. She could even feel the vibration of his chest even though he was far away.She felt like she was getting weaker after she met Tony. When she couldn’t see him, she missed him a lot. Yet, when he was in front of her, she felt awkward. Biting her lip, she then said suddenly, “Did you go back to deal with the Hartwell Group?” Estelle once mentioned to her that Tony planned to move the c

Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
Standing before love I’m in a hurry to go home
Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe
Standing before love Finding someone
The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of
Standing before love The lover who can do anything
When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now, Myra had told her about the
Standing before love The one who convinces
She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil
Standing before love A difficult problem
It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r
