Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 241

In that instant, the air around them seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, making Lyla tremble

slightly. Even though Tony’s face remained expressionless, the cold stare he gave her seemed to shoot

icicles at her, slowly freezing her. In that instant, she had an urge to turn and leave immediately, but

she suppressed her desire.

After a long moment—so long that even Myra felt uneasy and tugged on his sleeves—he finally

wrapped his hands around her and shot an indifferent look at Lyla. “Remember what I told you the

other day.”

After saying that simple sentence, he left the hall of Ritz Carlton after wrapping his arms around Myra’s

waist.

This time around, Lyla stood frozen to the ground, not daring to stop them anymore.

What did Tony say the other day?

When she first learned that Tony had gotten together with Myra, she went to ask him about the entire

situation. At that time, he told her to stay away from Myra. Apart from that, he also mentioned that there

were many unexpected situations that could happen in the future.

What did he mean by that?

A chill suddenly spread from her head to her toes. Before she could even return to her senses, Mr.

Johnson, the manager of Ritz Carlton, had already walked to her and told her sarcastically, “Miss

Fisher, you are not welcome at Ritz Carlton anymore.”

With that, he left immediately, as though the thought of staying next to her disgusted him.

Usually, Lyla would arrogantly get to the bottom of this. However, she did not have any energy today

and she had a feeling that it was just the beginning. Her life was going to worsen in the future.

With his arms wrapped around Myra, Tony walked to the parking lot. As Tilly had driven Myra’s car off,

he had to send her back to the Stark Group first.

On the way, he held Myra’s left hand with his right one, which was free. It was quite rare for them not to

utter a single word.

Thinking that the atmosphere between them was quite awkward, Myra cleared her throat. Unable to

stop herself, she asked, “What did you tell Lyla the other day? Her face turned pale immediately once

you mentioned it.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

It was actually an understatement to merely describe Lyla as turning pale. In reality, she was

immediately frozen on the spot and unable to speak at all, as if she had just suffered a great shock.

On another note, Myra was quite surprised by Lyla’s appearance today.

After all, she knew that Lyla was a woman who cared about her appearances. No matter where Lyla

was, she would always look well-dressed and glamorous. It was already rare for her to appear in front

of Myra in such a disheveled look.

Tony froze for a moment since he was focused on driving, but he quickly shot a glance at Myra. At this

point, the ruthlessness that he had when he addressed Lyla entirely disappeared. His facial features

looked much gentler as he chuckled lightly, “Myra, don’t tell me that you care for that woman.”

“How is it possible?” She snorted. Her relationship with Lyla was one of the worst since the latter had

framed her many times—whether it was in front of her or backstabbing her.

After hearing Myra’s reply, his narrow and long eyebrows arched slightly. “You still care about the fact

that she married Sean, huh?”

Each time when he used the single-syllable word at the end of his sentence, Myra’s heartbeat would

race. She quickly glanced at him and saw that even though his eyes were slightly narrowed, he did not

look fierce. After making sure that he was not jealous, she shook her head. “I don’t care who she

marries, but she has framed me several times in the past. It would be a lie to say that I don’t hate her.”

“So, are you happy that I treated her this way today?” Tony elaborated on the topic.

After thinking about it, Myra realized that it was indeed the case. No matter what he had told Lyla in the

past, it should be something that Lyla was fearful of. Otherwise, she would not look at him in such

trepidation.

After forgetting about the incident involving Lyla, Myra recalled the contract-signing session between

the Stark Group and the Parker Group. She tugged on his hands as she thanked him. “Thanks for

helping me out again today. If it weren’t for you, the group of people from the Parker Group would not

let Stark Group off easily.”

She believed that the sly foxes from the Parker Group would not leave without scooping enough

benefits from the Stark Group.

“I didn’t do anything at all.” Tony had a slight smile on his face.

Myra’s smile widened. “Yes, yes, you didn’t do anything—the fact that you were there already made Mr.

Smith forget about his initial plans. Instead, he kept finding topics to chat with you.”

That’s exactly what happened. In order to forge a closer relationship with Tony, Mr. Smith quickly

resolved the business he had with me and chatted with Tony enthusiastically, looking for various

different topics to discuss in the process.

Myra knew that Tony did not have much patience, but he persistently chatted with an insignificant

manager from a small company—all for her sake.

“What has Cameron been up to recently?” He changed the topic as he had no intentions to continue

with the previous topic.

She played around with his huge hands. At the mention of Cameron’s name, her face fell slightly. “It’s

the same old. He goes to work and leaves the office everyday, but I feel that he isn’t as strict as before.

He has actually relinquished a lot of his power.”

After knowing that he could not have a son, Cameron’s character suddenly changed. Myra was not

sure whether it was because he could not stomach the huge shock or not, but she had no plans to

console that ‘father’ of hers. After all, she knew that he did not want anything from her anyway.

“I heard that Kris seems to have fallen in love, though.” She frowned. She remembered seeing the man

who returned with Kris in the elevator. It was obvious that they had an intimate relationship, but after

that, she never saw him in the Stark Group. For no concrete reason, she thought that the man whom

Kris fell in love with was not him.

Tony merely let out a short chuckle with a mysterious expression in his eyes.

Myra felt that it was a mood killer to talk about Kris, so she stopped talking about her.

Soon, they arrived at the headquarters of the Stark Group.

Just as Myra was about to open the door, a great force pulled her body back to the seat. A second

later, she felt a wet sensation on her lips.

She smiled. Under Tony’s slightly abrupt kiss, she opened her lips willingly and passionately returned

the kiss.

After a while, when he finally released her, she felt that her lips were swollen. She touched her lips,

making his eyes darken.

Worried that he could get aroused in the car, she quickly pushed him away. “Didn’t you have a meeting

in the afternoon? Quickly get back to your office. I will wait for you to fetch me in the evening.”

After seeing his eyes narrowing, Myra quickly leaned into him and planted a light kiss on his lips.

Tony arched his eyebrows after noticing how obedient she was today and allowed her to get out of the

car.

“If anything happens, just call me.”

“Got it.”

With that, Myra waved at him.

Soon, Tony drove the car away.

After getting out of the car, she quickly received a message on Messenger. After opening it, she was

surprised to find that Sebastian had messaged her.

“Young lady, what style of wedding do you like? Of course, I’m just casually asking. I don’t have other

intentions.”

What style of wedding do I like?

After seeing through Sebastian’s pretense, as if he was not interested in knowing what her reply was,

Myra snorted in laughter. It was rather obvious that he was trying to find out her preference.

Old Master Hart is asking about my wedding preferences, but Tony did not even mention anything

about marriage just now.

After looking at the ring on her finger that she gave herself, Myra touched her nose.

“Victorian style, I guess.” It was not that Myra fawned on European culture; the reason why she opted

for that instead of an Oriental wedding was simply because the reserved seats for her parents would be

empty in a typical Oriental wedding.

While replying to Sebastian, she walked into the building. When she passed by the main hall of the

headquarters, she heard a familiar woman’s voice from behind a green plant. “You should hold onto

that man tightly this time! Stop thinking of Tony Hart at this point. That man is not interested in you at

all. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.”
