Standing before Love

Chapter 37



Just when Myra thought it would be the end of her life today, Tony suddenly released his grip on her even though she did not know why.

At the moment, his face was in a shade of charcoal that looked like it was dripping ink while there was a burning flame in his eyes.

When she came back to her senses, her face was already burning red. Without Tony’s support, her body suddenly softened as she almost collapsed to the floor.

Then, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed her waist.

After she slowly took a deep breath, she did her best to stand straight before the pair of huge hands released her waist.

However, Myra did not dare to look at Tony’s face, so she gritted her teeth as she wanted to leave the place in a hurry.

“Miss Stark, you better clearly think about it next time. You can’t just simply enter a bachelor’s room,” he said calmly with his back facing her. However, his voice was now husky due to his emotions, but it still sounded casual and sexy.

Myra knew that Tony had misunderstood her, but at the moment, she did not dare to explain herself. As she felt her nails sinking deep into her palm, she quickly ran out of his room with her head down.

On the way out, she came into contact with Meow, who watched the entire scene from the beginning, but now, it wore an innocent face.

Her face immediately flushed even deeper!

Behind her, a hint of profoundness flashed through the man’s eyes as he watched the escaping woman. Then, he raised his hand and caressed his thin lips as it seemed to contain the mark left by the woman.

At first, he did not know why she came to find him, but when he saw the lunch box, he instantly understood. This is probably Leo’s idea, so I can only go along with it, but it seems to be too much… In the end, I’m still the only one suffering…

Meow came over and grabbed Tony while it whimpered.

As he quirked up the corners of his lips, he touched its head while feeling as happy as ever.

After leaving Tony’s room, Myra took out her room key in a hurry to open the door.

However, her hands continued to tremble, which prevented her from sticking the key into the keyhole. After many tries, she was finally able to successfully open the door. She rushed inside and locked the door before leaning her back against it.

Her lips seemed to still contain Tony’s scent. Before she had the chance to take a deep breath, she ran into the washroom and squeezed the toothpaste on her toothbrush before vigorously brushing her teeth.

When she thought about Tony, Myra’s face started to blush again. Why can’t I get that handsome and indifferent man’s face out of my head?

After rinsing her mouth, she rubbed her lips fiercely until her skin was scratched and a tingling feeling was felt before she was forced to stop.

In the end, she lay on her bed and closed her eyes, but she was still feeling frustrated!

The three day meeting was coming to an end. During that period, the two companies carefully kept their new ideas a secret so that they could surprise the Hart Group at the eleventh hour. That explained why nothing was discussed in the end.

Due to what happened on the first night, Myra did not dare to come out of her room after 8:00PM for the next three days. Whenever she ran into Tony, she would try her best to suppress her emotions.

Luckily, Tony had already reverted to his usual cold self and he did not bring up what happened that night at all, so she did not feel that awkward.

On the third night, the Hart Group had prepared a banquet that their higher-ups and the two senior employees of the Hay Group attended, so Myra naturally needed to be there too.

No one knew who had arranged the seats for the banquet, but Sasha and Myra ended up sitting on each of Tony’s side. It looked like it was done so for them to conveniently discuss business, but at the same time, there was more to it than meets the eye.

Ever since that night, Myra intentionally avoided Tony.

It doesn’t matter where it was a misunderstanding or not; his behavior was way over the line. It’s too much that I’m starting to feel a little uneasy.

After sitting next to him, she remained silent and quietly watched him and Sasha having a happy conversation.

For the past three days, her silence seemed to have made Sasha even more active beside Tony. By the looks of it, the relationship between Sasha and Tony had taken quite a leap—from the beginning, they were only exchanging courtesy with one another, but now, they started to invite each other to ski and play golf together.

Upon hearing Tony faintly agreeing to Sasha’s invitation to play golf with her father, Myra tightly furrowed her brows.

As he glanced at Myra’s face, he raised his brows slightly.

At the same time, Sasha followed his gaze and saw Myra’s expression as well. Then, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Myra, you can come along with us too—the more the merrier. Besides, my father hasn’t seen you and Sean for a while now. Both of you can come together and have a chat with him.”

Sasha heavily emphasized on the word ‘together’ while her eyes secretly glanced at the man’s face in front of her.

She had long heard that Myra had a good relationship with Logan from the Hart Group’s Project Department, but she did not know how close they were. As long as she doesn’t have a relationship with Tony, then the Hay Group still has a chance!

Lately, she had noticed that there was something awkward between Myra and Tony, so she wanted to do a little test on them. Upon seeing his stoic face, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Myra smiled when she heard Sasha’s words. “No need for that. You and Mr. Hart… should have fun instead.”

Sasha’s smile widened as she pushed her hair behind her ear. “Myra, what are you saying? My dad wants to play golf with Mr. Hart, but I don’t even know how to play. I can only stand aside and watch the two of them play.”
