If you ever dare to offend her, you better go the hell back to where you came from!While thinking about what Sean said that day, Elsie quickly replied, “I’ll return to work immediately!” She did not dare to argue with Myra, so she left the place in an embarrassment.When it was just the three of them at the scene, Tilly glanced at the emotionless Sean for a moment before she quietly turned toward Myra with her tongue sticking out. “Myra, I suddenly remembered that I have unfinished business to attend to. I’ll come and see you later.” After that, she also left.Seeing Tilly fleeing the scene, Myra twitched her lips as she turned to face Sean, but her face had already reverted to its usual calmness. “Director Chase, is there something I can do for you?” It was the same place where they met last time and she did not forget the humiliation she endured from him, so she could not help but clench both her fists on each side.Sean’s gaze quickly swept over her eyes, but the calmness and indi
Sasha would whisper to Lily from time to time since there was a hint of reluctance on the latter’s face, but she nodded her head quietly in the end.Soon after, Logan and Leo came down to welcome them. It was only at that moment when Lily kept her design plans away.For some reason, Myra suddenly had a weird feeling.As soon as Logan came down and saw her, his eyes immediately brightened as he tried to stride over to her. However, Leo stepped on Logan’s foot, causing him to suppress his facial expression in a hurry. After that, they both walked over to the ladies and said gently, “Miss Stark and Miss Hay, both of you must be ready, right?”Myra and Sasha nodded their heads.Upon seeing Myra, Logan’s smile seemed to have softened. When he turned toward Sasha, his smile became a little indifferent instead, but he was still polite toward her. “I heard that Miss Hay and Miss Torres have been here all afternoon. Looks like you two are quite enthusiastic.”Lily’s face slightly changed, but
An aggrieved Sasha stood up in the midst of the whispers.“If that’s the case, why don’t you open the design plan that you brought so that everyone can have their say?”A hint of disdain flashed through her eyes from an angle that no one could see.At that moment, Myra’s nails were sunk deep into her palms. The design plans that I brought have been changed. What’s there to look at? Someone had obviously set up this meeting in advance. However, she wanted to give it a try because she refused to admit defeat, but sadly, nothing she did would change anything.“Fine! What’s there to be afraid of? I trust Miss Stark!”Tilly’s angry voice was heard from below as Myra tried to stop her, but it was already too late.Tilly quickly brought the design plan to the square table before she opened it. “Huh? What is this?!”Her scream was heard at first, but when she tried to cover the plans, she was quickly stopped by a hand next to her.After the design plan was opened, no one knew who had started
“That’s great! With Director Hart and Mr. Logan’s help, you’ll definitely be fine!” Tilly let out a sigh of relief when she heard Logan’s words as Myra returned to her senses.Then, Myra looked past Tilly’s shoulder and saw Sasha and Lily, who were both standing behind her.Myra never had a good impression of Sasha in the beginning, but now, she finally saw what an awful person the latter was.On the other hand, Sasha felt a little guilty when she met Myra’s gaze, but she immediately lifted her head in arrogance as she walked over. “Myra, I can’t believe that you don’t even have the courage to admit your mistake. No wonder Sean always looks down on you!”Myra instantly smiled with anger. No one else is better at talking nonsense than her.“Then, who do you think will fall for you?” She could not suppress her anger any more, so she coldly gazed at Sasha. “You failed to seduce him, so you are now trying to frame me. Sasha, is this project really that important to you? Is it so important
As Sean brusquely threw the document over, he wore a stern expression on his face. “Where did you summon the courage to do something like this?”Myra heard Elsie’s snort of laughter from behind her. When she focused on the document, she realized that it was the document she brought to the Hart Group after it was switched—and images of Tony were drawn on it.There were numerous drawings of him in various postures in a special, delicate style. Myra’s expression immediately changed right after she saw that.When she was at Hart Group earlier, she did not clearly look at the document due to her embarrassment and fury. It was only now that she realized that the drawing style on the document was similar to hers! “I didn’t draw this,” she retaliated without a second thought.When she lifted her head, her heart sank as soon as she saw Sean’s mocking smirk. She had to give it to Sasha, who was certainly skilled in framing her—she was even able to find a drawing that was similar to hers. I bet
As soon as she entered the car, the cool air slightly alleviated the summer heat.The man in the car leaned against the backseat with his eyes closed. He had a rather wide forehead and a straight nose; although his deep, narrow eyes were shut, it did not hide his handsome features. His physique and facial features made him look like a foreigner, which radiated an aura of elegance in each and every movement of his.Upon hearing Myra’s words, Tony opened his eyes and he slightly nodded without even shooting her a glance.However, he suddenly turned to look at her. “How did this happen?” He stretched his long, slender hands and touched her chin, which now showed red terrifying fingerprints.Tony frowned slightly as his gaze became colder.Myra was shocked by what she saw. Even though his fingers had only lightly touched her chin, she felt as though she had been scorched and turned away reflexively. “It’s nothing,” she replied in a low voice.When she turned, her fair neck was revealed an
If he really can’t keep to his promise, I can walk home too. Southern Hill is not a small area, but it’s not gigantic either. Apart from that, it would be for the best if he could really clear my name from the accusation of plagiarism.As soon as Myra thought about that, she stopped speaking and quietly looked outside the car window.From the corner of his eyes, Tony slightly arched his good-looking eyebrows when he saw her small face had darkened.The car was soon driven to the mansion region, which was surrounded by a garden.Southern Hill was the paradise for many wealthy people, but a mansion as big as the Hart Residence could not be found—even in the area.It took almost five minutes for the car to be driven from the main gate to a building that looked like a castle with European architecture.Soon, the car came to a tall fountain that resembled a swan. Next to it was a huge mansion with white walls and red bricks that were surrounded by trees; the place looked impressive and int
When Myra and Henry raised their heads, they saw a slender woman standing at the other end of the fountain, which was not far from them. Even though the woman was already in her late thirties, she looked like she was barely 30 years old. Although she was elegant, there was a hint of worry and sorrow on her face that Myra detected at that moment.On the other hand, after Tony entered the mansion, a maid took his coat from him and placed a pair of indoor slippers in front of him.“Young Master Tony, Old Master Hart has been waiting for you in the study for a while.”With that, she smartly retreated to the kitchen.As soon as he knocked on the door to enter, a voice commanded loudly from the room, “Wait at the door!”Even though it was a rather old voice, it was still full of strength. It was obvious from his tone that the man in the room was not in a good mood.Tony arched his eyebrows as he closed the door of the study and obediently obeyed the order—he stood straight on the spot witho
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
