Standing before love What a coincidence
“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

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-14Standing before love You provoked the hart Group
“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

Standing before love Proposals
(Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari
Standing before love Weird things happened
Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to
Standing before love A waiting game
Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges
Standing before love The patient should be given the most respect
The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi
Standing before love An intense atmosphere
Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep
Standing before love A sudden accident
Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui
Standing before love Someone who creates problems
Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being
Standing before love Two unfortunates
At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l
Standing before love Start a disastrous day
In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
