Tony glanced at her with a faint smile. “Now you remember about it.”Myra had forgotten all about Meow after their conflict today. Thus, she squirmed with embarrassment. Meanwhile, he was already heading out the door. “Relax; Mrs. Frye has already let it out into the garden outside. You don’t need to worry about it.”Upon hearing that, she finally felt relieved.Tony soon returned with a bag in his hands. That bag seemed rather familiar for some reason, but Myra could not place where she had seen it before.His figure was tall and broad. He had gone for a smoke when he went outside and returned with a cigarette casually held between his fingers. He was still wearing the white shirt and black pants that he wore during the day. Although he had his sleeves rolled up in a casual, at-home look, he still looked extremely handsome. She watched him walking over. Looking into his slightly narrowed eyes, she felt her heart rate increasing and hurriedly shifted her gaze away to look at the TV in
Tony’s eyes narrowed and he stopped walking up the stairs. Instead, he skirted around the coffee table and picked up Myra’s bag from the sofa before taking out her phone.Although there was no caller ID, with Tony’s strong memory, he clearly knew who this number belonged to.A frosty look flashed across his eyes. His thin lips twitched, then he swiped across the screen to answer the call and said blankly, “Hello?”There was a strange silence on the other end. In an instant, the caller hung up.A sardonic smile appeared on Tony’s face. He played with the phone for a while; his eyes were contemplative. Then, clutching the phone in his palm, he brought the bag of things upstairs to his bedroom.Myra had already entered the bathroom, and the sound of water from inside was rather loud. Tony nonchalantly threw the bag onto the sofa in front of the bed, then fished out Myra’s phone and placed it on the bedside table before going to the next room to take a shower.It was early autumn, so it w
Throwing down another cigarette butt, Sean suddenly thought back to when Myra had just gotten married to him.At that time, she wasn’t as desolate as she was later on. Every day, she would face him with the positivity of a newlywed wife. When he got up in the morning, she would personally make breakfast for him; when he came back in the evening, she would hurry to greet him and help him get his coat. She would remember his birthday, and she would remember that he had a history of stomach issues. She would remember that he liked eating bland food, remember all the things he liked and disliked, and remember all the little things about him, even if he never slept with her or never ate a single meal she cooked.Now that he thought about it, in order to see Myra in despair, he didn’t know how many things he had done to agonize her.And at that time, did he really make Myra miserable because she had gotten in the way of him and Lyla’s child?Could it be that he had deliberately acted that w
Myra hesitated. Serena, who was next to her, took the box and stuffed it directly into her hands. “My grandma’s giving it to you, so just keep it. You don’t need to be shy.”Myra nodded and opened the box. Inside was an emerald bangle that was glittering and translucent. It was beautiful.Surprised, she looked at Lisa. The old lady’s face was blank. “Have a good future with Tony.”Holding the box, Myra’s heart eased and her features softened. “Thank you, Old Madam Hart.”Lisa gave a brief nod, then turned and walked upstairs.Myra left the Hart Residence with Henry’s driver.The driver blabbed, “I wonder who was smoking outside the residence last night. There are cigarette butts all over there… Tsk, tsk…”Myra didn’t think too much about it.Henry was chattering while asking her to come back to the Hart Residence again next time.“Myra, my mom said that you’re going to marry my uncle. Is that true?” Henry asked suddenly.Myra was startled. A blush crept up her face as she patted his h
Myra’s heart fluttered. Tony’s smile contained too many emotions, and it confused Myra for a while. What does he mean by that? Is he upset because I want to draw a line between us in front of Kris?Myra spread the first draft on the coffee table in front of the man. As she tucked the hair that had fallen out of place behind her ears, she asked tenderly, “How about a cup of black coffee?”During the time they had spent together, Myra noticed that when he was working, he had the habit of drinking black coffee.Tony saw Myra looking straight at him, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his sharp eyes. He became even more irritable. Placing the cigarette back on his thin lips, he turned to look at the drawings on the table, then answered curtly, “Sure.”His cold response stunned Myra, but it made Kris smile. “Sis, please hurry up and bring a cup of black coffee. Don’t leave our distinguished guest waiting for too long.”Having said that, her beautiful eyes fixed Myra with an icy stare.My
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,
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
