Standing before love Is there no other woman
Ivy Jameson suddenly found the scene difficult to bear. I was handling some subsequent work in the United States before rushing back. How could so many things happen without my knowledge within such a short time? Tony was staring at her with an increasingly annoyed look and she walked to his front while extending her hand.There was a bag in her hand and it had a logo of a pharmacy printed on it.“I noticed that you seemed to be having some gastric discomfort during the meeting today. It so happened that I was passing by a pharmacy and I bought some medicine for gastritis,” she sounded concerned. It seemed like she only had eyes for him while completely ignoring the woman standing behind him.Myra was astounded, but she did not stop what she was doing. Instead, she merely regarded the woman in front of her in silence.Almost everybody knows that there are no female assistants on Tony’s office floor. However, this woman looks like an elite staff member. I heard her saying that she noti

vy’s expression soured slightly and she bit on her lower lip with force. Then, she turned to leave Leo’s office without replying to him.Leo, who was left behind, stared in helplessness and full of heartache.In Tony’s office, Myra was about to clean the desk after Ivy left. She was just about to reach out for the bag when a long and prominent arm wrapped itself around her waist. Tony pulled her against him. “Are you jealous?”Tony cocked a brow at her.“No, I’m not,” Myra retorted straight away. She struggled against his embrace, but she gave up since she realized that she couldn’t release herself from his grip. However, she refused to meet his gaze.Tony chuckled in a rumbling tone while sounding seductive and alluring. Myra felt her earlobes burning; she deliberately shoved against him to hide her shyness. Then, she faced him with a stern expression. “You have many people falling for you. I would drown in my own jealousy if I were to feel jealous of everybody!” Myra was being hones

Myra was standing outside the cake shop, and she was about to extend her hand to hail a cab when somebody called out to her from behind, “Myra!”Myra paused before she turned around to look calmly at the rich-looking woman in front of her. “Mrs. Chase.”Eve was sure that Myra must have heard most of her conversation with Elsie. She felt extremely embarrassed for Myra to have heard their conversation, but she was mostly afraid. After a moment of hesitation, she forced herself to speak with Myra anyway. “Myra… I hope that you would pretend as if you haven’t heard what I discussed with Miss Foster earlier.” Currently, Myra is disgusted with the Chase Family. I am also afraid that she might expose my relationship with Elsie to Lyla and things will turn ugly if the latter causes a scene.Myra regarded Eve’s anxious expression and she suddenly felt as though she was very stupid in the past. How did I ever trust what Eve said when she’s clearly brushing me off by placating me verbally?Myra’

“We were lucky you were there last night. I dragged Tilly into the mess; fortunately, she’s fine.”Elliot chuckled but he changed the topic swiftly and they started chatting about something else. Myra, however, did not notice the cunning and mischievous sparkle flash through his eyes.During their journey, she phoned Tony to remind him to take care of his health. She advised him to have his dinner on time while instructing him to head back to the Hart Residence after work.Well, Miss Ivy’s speech has left an impact today. He is a career-oriented man in his thirties, and his stomach and lungs are not as healthy as they once were. I am sure that Old Madam Hart will take good care of him if he returns to the Hart Residence. There are more people there too, so he won’t feel lonely.“Are you really not coming back tonight?” Tony asked again from the other end of the line. His voice was husky—he was most probably smoking out of boredom.Myra glanced at Elliot—who was pretending to focus on

Mrs. Fletcher was unhappy but she nodded reluctantly under Rachel’s scrutiny. “Mrs. Stark, you are too kind, which is why she bullies you. Please be careful later, Mrs. Stark. She seems to be aggressive, so don’t let her harm the child in your womb…” Mrs. Fletcher muttered quietly.Mrs. Fletcher, what nonsense are you spouting?” Rachel’s expression changed slightly. “Why would Miss Myra harm her biological younger brother?”“Who knows…” Mrs. Fletcher tried to hold back but she couldn’t help but mutter, “Everybody’s been saying that she is back for the family assets. Now that she knows that you are pregnant with a son, Mrs. Stark, I am sure that she would target you with all she has. Mrs. Stark, you have to be careful!”“She won’t.” Rachel turned to Mrs. Fletcher and reassured, “I trust that Myra is a good person and that she would not do that.”Mrs. Fletcher was about to say something but Rachel had already made her way into the house.Myra did not expect Rachel to maintain the style

Rachel even started wiping tears away when she mentioned that Cameron had been missing Myra ever since the latter left. She even claimed that Cameron would prefer for her to move back home since she had divorced Sean.At the mention of Sean, the three of them seemed to hate him with a vengeance. They started scolding him a good deal by claiming that he is ungrateful and short-sighted. They even proclaimed that he would live a short life, and that he is an indecent and good-for-nothing man. The trio were acting as if they bore a grudge on Myra’s behalf.Myra merely listened to them without responding and her face was void of expression. In the end, the three of them quietened down, most probably because they felt awkward. Then, they started chatting about current company matters.“Myra, Kris is still young so she is inexperienced in a lot of things. You should give her pointers in the company. You do not have to hold back if she makes a mistake at work—feel free to reprimand her.” Rach

Mrs. Fletcher reluctantly fetched a chair, whereas Myra turned to Kris. “Can you please scoot over to make some space?” Myra murmured and smiled sweetly.Rachel and Kris acted like loving family members in front of me for such a long time just now. If Kris were to refuse to make space, she would be humiliating both Rachel and herself.Under Rachel’s scrutiny, Kris had no choice but to shift her chair reluctantly.Myra placed the chair properly. Just as she was seated, she conveniently pinched Tony’s thigh hard while hissing at him quietly, “You’re trouble!”It was barely a whisper so others might not have heard her, but Tony heard her clearly.His lips curled into a faint smile.Myra fingers ached from pinching him and she was just about to shift her hand away when a large, warm and dry hand grabbed hers. She wasn’t sure if Tony was doing it on purpose, but his calloused left fingers rubbed against Myra’s. He continued the friction while pressing her hand against his warm thigh.An el

Rachel pursed her lips, thinking that something seemed off. However, she had no time to think about it at this moment.Tony had already gone to Cameron’s study because the latter wanted to speak to him. Now that Tony and Myra were a couple, it had definitely placed Rachel and Kris at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, it was better for them that Tony came here today, since it would not hurt to let him witness Myra’s cruelty earlier.With a dark look in her eyes, Rachel caressed her belly and murmured, “Baby, please be useful. These are the final two things you can do for Mommy.”Myra sat on the couch to watch some television, so she did not go back to her room immediately.Kris was busy with the preparation in the kitchen for a long time. After that, she served a glass of lemonade and two cups of coffee. When she walked past Myra, she even put the lemonade on the table in front of her. “Sis, I know you like lemonade so I made this for you.”Myra merely smiled and looked at the other two cu

Standing before love Gathering at Zion club
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
Standing before love Dare to challenge
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
Standing before love A hopeless chauvinist
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
Standing before love The wedding preparation
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
Standing before love Matthia has a personality
Myra and Tony left the bridal shop in low spirits after spending a whole day trying on wedding dresses, for they were unable to find one that suited Myra. As for the remaining matters, Tony had already made the arrangements. After all, no one said that a wedding could only accommodate one wedding dress.Tony had already entrusted his reliable assistant with the task of managing the procedures involved in getting the tailor-made dresses ready. He had faith that his assistant would give him satisfactory results in the end.Having settled the matter with the wedding dress, Myra pondered for a while. She felt that Tony had taken her out to try on wedding dresses for some ulterior motive. She knew that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. Don’t tell me this is all part of his plan to create a situation where he could openly announce that he wants to get the wedding dress tailor-made overseas.They hadn’t given themselves much time to prepare for the wedding; Ton
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
