Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 213

With a gentle smile, Myra replied, “Thank you.”

However, she did not know that as soon as she left the Hart Group, several staff members started

talking about her intensely at the front desk.

“Is she really Director Hart’s genuine girlfriend? Have you guys seen how warm and respectful Mr. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Clark was toward her just now? Tsk. At least Miss Stark has a good temperament and personality.”

“So what? She is still a divorced woman. I still think that she is not worthy of Director Hart.”

“Forget about it. If she isn’t worthy, do you actually think you are worthier than her? It’s not for us to

decide. In the end, let’s see what Director Hart has to say. No matter who he likes, we have no right to

judge him. I heard from a friend working in Stark Group that President Hart personally delivered a bowl

of soup to the Stark Group for her yesterday. Doesn’t that mean even his parents have confirmed Miss

Stark’s identity as someone next to him?”

For a moment, everyone kept on discussing Myra.

Naturally, she did not know what they were talking about.

The moment she went downstairs, she received a call from Leo. “Mrs. Hart, Director Hart is already

done with his meeting, but he has another meeting an hour later.”

He felt helpless while saying those words. Initially, he wanted to help his boss to set up a perfect lunch

with his beloved lady, but obviously, he was a little busy with today’s meetings.

At first, Myra was startled as she nodded. “Alright. I’ll come back immediately with his lunch.”

Initially, she wanted to cross to another street because there was a restaurant ahead of her with

delicious food, but looking at the time, she could only find a place to buy his meal. After finding a

somewhat clean restaurant, she ordered a takeout for him.

When she returned, Tony just happened to be coming out of his lounge.

At that moment, he wasn’t wearing his suit, but his white shirt still looked meticulous and his tie was

roughly loosened. His body was tall and imposing, but his dashing face had hints of tiredness and

impatience. When he saw Myra, his expression finally relaxed as he waved at her.

Then, Myra went over to him with the takeout. As soon as she placed the takeout on his desk, her

entire body was immediately pulled into a firm chest.

“Why did you think of coming here at noon?” His crisp voice had a deep sense that only belonged to

him.

Upon smelling the familiar aura of the man, Myra joked in a half-serious manner, “It’s because I miss

you.”

Immediately, the arms around her waist tightened as the man’s deep chuckle was heard next to her.

“After seducing me this morning, you are now using the same trick on me. Are you planning to stay

here this evening? Hmm?”

His laughter was filled with playfulness and implications as his warm breath blew all over her neck.

Thinking about what her proactiveness this morning had caused, she quickly struggled to break free

from Tony’s arms as she urged him to eat the lunch that she had just bought. “Mr. Clark said that you

have another hour till your next meeting. You have less than an hour left, so you should finish your food

quickly.”

She knew that the man was full of energy, so it would be dangerous to let him hug her any longer.

With a flushed face, she tried to suppress her awkwardness by pretending to push her hair to the back

of her delicate ear, but her ears had also turned red afterward. Looking at her, Tony couldn’t help but

chuckle again before landing another loving kiss on her cheek. Then, he opened the three lunch boxes

that she brought—a bowl of rice and two other dishes.

She ordered it from a small restaurant, so the lunch boxes were the plastic ones that were usually used

in fast-food restaurants. Even the dining utensils were poorly made disposable utensils.

At that time, Myra did not give much thought into it. Even though she was born in the Stark Family, she

would often have lunch with everyone else while working in the Chase Group. However, when Tony

opened the lunch box in his luxurious and grand office, the strong smell of rice and vegetables seemed

to be incompatible with the surroundings.

As Tony squinted his eyes at the almost ‘shabby’ lunch, he raised his brows at Myra.

After seeing his ‘disgusted’ eyes, she immediately flushed as she felt a hint of annoyance in her heart,

so she went to take his lunch box away. “Forget about it. I’ll ask Mr. Clark to buy something else for

you.”

“Who told you that I’m not eating it?” The moment her hand touched the lunch box, another hand

casually reached out to grab hers.

As she struggled to break free, the other hand tightened itself around hers. While he caressed the back

of her hand with his thumb, the rough skin of his hand rubbed against hers, as if an electric current was

flowing through her body. Seeing that her face was getting redder, Tony’s dark eyes were suddenly

filled with joy. “Stop messing around. I still have a meeting to attend. Are you trying to starve me?”

As Myra bit on her lips, Tony placed his utensils next to her hand.

She smiled faintly and gave him a stare. Then, she took the utensils and gave it back to the man who

had been constantly staring at her.

After opening the lunch box, he scanned the food. “Aren’t you eating?”

“I already had lunch. I’ll return to the Stark Group when you attend your meeting later.” Myra was afraid

that he could see through her lie, so she walked behind him and helped to massage his temple. In

reality, she forgot to buy her own lunch when ordering his food. I’ll just have to buy my lunch on my way

back to the Stark Group later on.

Tony nodded his head.

As a result of Myra’s massage that relaxed him a lot, his current mood was much better than earlier.

“Are you busy recently?” she asked.

He had been together with her for so long that she almost thought that he actually had a lot of free

time, but how could he be that free while running such a huge corporation?

Seeing that he was tired after today’s meeting, she assumed that he had been attending meetings in

the company since morning.

“Yes.” Tony picked up the disposable utensils and started eating his fast-food, but his movement was

still very elegant, as if he was dining in a fine restaurant. “Recently, there are a few big projects in the

company that need me to make choices. I’ll be free after a while.”

“Then, you should rest more. Don’t overwork yourself.” Myra gently reminded him. Once a man starts

working tirelessly, he will usually ignore his own health and life. This is why most career-minded men

suffer from lots of diseases in their middle age.

Then, Tony raised his brows and moved her hand over to his shoulder, showing his intent.

After revealing a smile, Myra helped to massage his shoulder.

The food that she ordered probably did not suit his taste, so he put down the fork and spoon after only

eating a few bites.

As soon as he did so, someone knocked on the office door and the clear voice of a woman was heard

afterward. “Director Hart.”

Tony furrowed his brows slightly when Myra stopped massaging him. Therefore, he pinched her hand

on his shoulder, telling her to continue before calmly speaking to the person outside the door. “Come

in.”

The moment the office door was opened, a gorgeous-looking woman came in.

She wore a Chanel office suit that accentuated her figure and the makeup on her face acted as a foil

on how delicate her face was. When she saw Myra, who was standing behind Tony while massaging

him, she was immediately stunned as she stood at the office door in a daze.

“What is it?” Tony reverted to his usual indifferent expression.

Then, he instinctively took out a cigarette and stuck it in his thin lips as he prepared to light it up, but

suddenly, a tender hand reached out to snatch the cigarette from his mouth. What followed was Myra’s

whisper. “You should smoke less.”

After that, Ivy realized that even though Tony’s lips were pressed, he did not show any signs of

displeasure. Instead, he glanced at her and asked again, “What is it?”
