Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 39

“Mr. Hart, what do you mean by those words?”

Sasha could no longer maintain the smile on her face. No matter how good she was at concealing her

emotions, she could still hear the huge disdain from Tony’s words.

“It’s nothing. I’m just like you—I have never taken the bus either,” Tony answered faintly with a sense of

coldness in his eyes.

At that moment, she tightly clenched her fists on each side because she planned to make Tony her

man tonight. Since all men are visual creatures, I thought that I had it in the bag, but instead, it

backfired on me and caused me to be humiliated!

Looking at the man in front of her, she was displeased. I had planned for tonight’s matter for a long

time, but if I still insist on staying here…

“Mr. Hart…” Her long eyelashes slightly drooped as it cast an aggrieved shadow over her face. “Mr.

Hart, it seems like you’ve misunderstood me. I haven’t done anything with other men—”

“That’s none of my business.” Tony interrupted before he lowered his head to glance at his watch. “I

called room service 5 minutes ago and it’ll probably be here soon. Miss Hay, if you insist on staying

here, suit yourself.”

His voice was calm and indifferent, causing Sasha’s face to flush immediately. In the end, she could

only stomp her foot and quickly leave with the tray in her hand.

After seeing her leave, Tony was not in a hurry to return to his room and shut the door. Instead, he

loitered outside and lit up a cigarette.

The hallway returned to silence within seconds.

Meanwhile, Myra felt happy for the weirdest reason after quietly watching the entire scene behind her

door.

As expected, Sasha is here to seduce Tony. She was initially worried because it would be detrimental

to the Stark Group if Sasha managed to seduce him. Surprisingly, he not only rejected her, but even

ruthlessly crushed all her hopes of marrying him. In that case, the two companies will be able to fairly

compete with each other.

Looking outside the door, Tony was already done with his cigarette, but she could see that his posture

as he smoked a cigarette was sexy with his throat rolling upward and downward. Amidst the smoke, his

distinctive face looked even more dashing and three-dimensional.

Myra felt a thump in her heart and noticed that her breathing had stopped for a second. Her clothes

accidentally touched the shoe rack at the entrance, causing a sandal to fall off with a whap.

Immediately, she could feel the man’s casual gaze outside the door. After her quick shock, she closed

the door in a hurry and leaned against it while she breathed heavily. Then, she glared at the sandal on

the floor with frustration.

It was quiet in the hallway earlier, which means that he definitely heard me. I can only hope that he

doesn’t realize that I’ve been eavesdropping on him.

As she thought about it again, she could not help but feel angry at herself. Why did I decide to do such

a dishonest thing?!

However… As soon as she remembered how embarrassed Sasha looked when she ran off, her mood

improved inexplicably.

In the meantime, the man, who was still smoking outside, simply flicked the head of the cigarette before

he slowly revealed a charming smile with his dashing lips.

The next day, Myra woke up early in the morning. After washing herself and packing her stuff, she

decided to head downstairs to the restaurant to have her breakfast.

The moment she opened her door, she immediately halted her steps.

As her head was down, the first thing that she saw outside the door was a pair of handmade suede

shoes belonging to a man.

When Myra looked upward, Tony’s dashing yet cold face immediately came into her view. With a

cigarette stuck between his index and middle finger, he leaned against the wall next to her room. His

smoking posture was as elegant and sexy as ever, but this time, his usual restrained manner was gone

and it was displaced by a frivolous attitude.

When she lifted her head, he happened to blow a mouthful of smoke on her face, causing her to cough

and her face to darken. “Mr. Hart, why are you here?”

“Someone misses you.” Tony straightened his body and stood a head taller than Myra. As he

condescendingly looked at her from above, there seemed to be a hint of casualness to his expression.

However, it caused her to be on pins and needles as she smiled awkwardly. “Is that so?” I don’t know

what he is trying to do, but since that night, I have become more aware of how dangerous he is. Should

I go downstairs or head back to my room?

Just as she thought about how to quietly leave, the man had squinted his eyes, as if he was unhappy

about something. “You don’t believe me?”

Immediately, Myra choked while the awkwardness and embarrassment quickly caused her face to

flush. As countless words started to pile up in her chest, she did not know what or how to answer him.

Seeing that her face was turning red and the rage piling up inside her, Tony felt a sense of joy as he

flatly called out, “Meow…”

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! The voice of the big white dog approached them from afar. Soon, the furry

dog came to the front of Tony while wagging its tail and shaking its head to please him.

Tony patted its head and pointed at Myra. “Don’t you miss her? Quickly go to her.”

The big white dog seemed to understand what he said as it immediately pounced toward her.

It had a huge and chubby body, so it almost pushed her to the floor. Luckily, she managed to grab the

door frame in time to support herself while she hugged the big white dog in front of her.

While looking at Meow, who was licking her, she took another glance at Tony, who had already left.

With her eyes lowered, her eyes were suddenly filled with many mixed emotions. Could it be that the

person whom he said misses me is actually the dog?

When it was time to return, everyone took the same car that brought them to the hotel.

Unsurprisingly, the moment Myra opened the car door, she immediately saw a big white dog blankly

looking at her inside the car. As soon as it saw her, it whimpered twice in excitement before obediently Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

sitting down.

Myra felt resigned while the driver turned and tried to say something to her, but she had already lifted

her hand to stop him. “I know—Mr. Hart doesn’t know how to take care of his dog, so he wants me to

help out along the way.”

The driver awkwardly rubbed his nose. “That’s what Mr. Hart told me.”

She revealed a faint smile, but she did not have the same excitement to play with the dog as she did

when she arrived at the hotel. Therefore, she only hugged the dog while looking at the streets outside

the window.

Seeing that she was speechless and did not have the same enthusiasm to play with the dog as before,

the driver was a little worried, but he still secretly called Tony and left the call on.

In less than two minutes, Myra suddenly asked from behind him, “My phone is out of power and I would

like to make a call. Can I borrow your phone for a while?”

Even though she was asking for his permission, she had already come forward to take the phone next

to the driver before he even had the chance to react.

“Oh. Miss Stark, about that—”

“Eh, looks like you’re on the phone with Mr. Hart.” She pretended to be surprised as she interrupted

him. Without looking at him, she feigned an innocent voice while speaking to the phone. “Mr. Hart, is

there anything else you want to tell the driver?”

On the other side of the phone, Tony could already sense that something was wrong when he heard

Myra’s voice. His body trembled slightly for a moment before he stoically hung up on the phone right

away.

For the rest of the journey, Leo could see his boss smiling and furrowing his brows from time to time. It

immediately caused Leo to be more vigilant while driving the car.

When Myra realized that the call had ended, she was filled with even more mixed emotions.

“Miss Stark…” The driver looked at her carefully through the rearview mirror. “Do you… still need to

make that call?”

She pushed her hair behind her ear before calmly handing the phone back to him. “Nope.”

“I see.” The driver quickly reached out to grab the phone. This time, he immediately kept the phone in

his pocket, but his back was already soaked in sweat.

Since they had departed from the Hart Group last time, everyone was naturally sent back there.

While they exited the car, Leo saw that Tony was in a good mood. It’s probably because of Miss Stark.

After rolling his eyes, Leo waited for everyone to alight from their cars before announcing, “Thank you,

everyone, for your hard work for the last few days. This afternoon, the Hart Group would like to be the

host and invite the three ladies from the Hay and Chase Groups to have lunch in the Ritz Carlton.”
