Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 51

Myra was touched upon seeing this. It was likely that Tony gave such an order because he was worried

that the people from the Hart Group might make snide comments in front of her. After all, the rumors of

her plagiarism had spread throughout the Hart Group as well.

When Myra reached the 48th floor, she entered Tony’s office. At this moment, Sasha was already there

and Tony was sitting behind his office table, with his crossed fingers supporting his forehead. Through

the windows, sunlight shone on his back and the outline of his figure glimmered slightly.

“Director Hart, Miss Stark is here.”

After hearing Leo’s voice, Tony raised his head and his eyes narrowed. Then, he leaned backward in

the chair. His facial features were perfectly exquisite and well-defined, and he was also tall and well-

built. He was dominant yet not ostentatious, sharp yet not ruthless, and there was a hint of laziness as

he leaned backward at this moment. Tony had completely dominated Sasha’s field of sight now.

Since the last failure, she went back and thought carefully about the possible reasons. Then, she came

to the conclusion that Tony did not understand her well enough. Hence, she begged her grandfather to

call Old Master Hart to give him some hints about her feelings. According to her grandfather, even

though Old Master Hart did not give a straightforward reply, he seemed to be pretty satisfied with her

judging from his tone. She was beyond excited to hear about this, so she quickly drove over here once

she received the call from Hart Group. To her, everything was going according to plan. Since she was

just here to witness Myra’s trial, she did not even bring her designer over.

Sasha flashed a kind and gentle smile at Myra. “Myra, I believe that Aunt Eve has already passed my

message to you. If you admit your mistake now, no one will know about this in the future.” Sasha

looked at Myra earnestly to show Tony that she was kind and generous. She had always grabbed on

every opportunity to showcase herself.

“Oh—is that so?” Myra’s eyes gradually became colder.

“Myra, I know you did this because you love Sean very much. You want to take this project for him so

much that you gave in to the temptation. I know you did not mean to do this and I—”

“Director Hart, please let us know the results.” Myra interrupted Sasha without waiting for her to finish

speaking.

Annoyance was already in Tony’s eyes but when he saw Myra’s reaction, there was a quick flash of a

smile on the corner of his lips, so quick that no one saw it except Sasha. She clenched her fists tightly

and bit her lips as she gently murmured, “Director Hart, please go ahead.” She looked like she was

trying to stay strong after she had been wronged.

Myra smiled sarcastically and stopped looking at her. Instead, she turned her gaze to the emotionless

man in front of them.

At this moment, Leo placed a laptop in front of Tony and opened a file in it. Then, Tony turned it around

so that it was facing both the women. “Here are the results,” he announced in an indifferent tone as his

gaze swept past Sasha coldly.

“This is the result?” Sasha was the first to voice out her confusion.

A clear picture of a woman was shown on the screen of the laptop. Her head was lowered, so her eyes

could not be seen. Instead, only the shadows from her long eyelashes were visible. She had an

exquisite nose and petal-like lips. Even though her hair was tied back, there were strands of it falling

into her face, forming a stark contrast compared to her fair neck. This woman was none other than

Myra, and she had her head lowered as she drew.

If the current atmosphere was not solemn, Sasha would have snorted coldly. I wonder who the

photographer is? This person had obviously put a lot of effort into taking this picture! After all, Myra

looked so beautiful that made others want to drop everything and just look at her. In the picture, there

was a drawing paper in front of Myra that was already fully drawn.

Looking at Sasha’s questioning gaze, Tony enlarged the drawing paper and revealed that it was the

drawing that was submitted by the Hay Group yesterday. Even though it was not that clear, the outline

could be clearly seen.

“H-How is this possible?” Sasha exclaimed. Right after that, she quickly closed her mouth after

realizing her faux pas.

Looking at the shocked expression of the two people in front of him, Tony curved his lips into a cold

smile. “Miss Hay, the time when this picture was taken is marked at the bottom of the picture. If you are

worried that this picture is edited, you can make a copy and take it back to examine it.” With arms

crossed in front of his chest, Tony looked at Sasha coldly. “Do you still need me to tell you the result?”

In an instant, different emotions flitted across Sasha’s face. She glared at the picture before looking

back at Myra, who kept mum as soon as she saw the picture. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sasha did not expect anyone to take a picture of Myra that would become the evidence to her

accusation. The words that she had just said to Myra and Tony had backfired, and her face blushed red

as she felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

“Director Hart, Myra, I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding here.” Sasha’s fingernails almost dug into

her palm and the expression on her face took a drastic turn. After a while, she finally settled on a

solemn expression. “After we came back from the construction site of the Sunny Bay Project, our

designer, Miss Torres, said that she was going to focus on drawing. Honestly, I only knew about her

design on the very last day, so I had no idea that she stole Myra’s drawing. But don’t worry, Director

Hart and Myra. The Hay Group will never stand for such actions. After finding out the truth, I will

definitely provide you with a proper explanation, Myra.”

The gentle expression on her face just now had become serious and earnest. From her words, she did

not dig a grave for herself. At this moment, she suddenly turned around to look at Tony seriously.

“Director Hart, I would like to discuss this matter with you in private. Is that alright?”

In just a few sentences, she had pushed the responsibility from herself entirely. Myra knew that this

was perfectly normal in their profession, as the scapegoat had always been powerless employees. She

knew that she could not make any decisions at this moment, so she merely looked at Tony, who

nodded at her. Then, she left the office. Since everything had reached this point, she believed that he

was a man of his word. Hence, she was not worried about the rest of the incident anymore.

To her, the most important thing was to have her name cleared. As for the discussion between the both

of them, she assumed that Sasha planned to make a deal with Tony in order to save the Hay Group.

Myra did not forget what happened to the Reid Group after they were involved in plagiarism. Of course,

Sasha did not forget about it as well. Losing a business partner like the Hart Group was a huge blow to

the Hay Group.

Sasha’s heart pumped wildly when she saw that the office only consisted of Tony and herself. She felt

annoyed that her perfect plan had such a sudden change midway, and she was not willing to let the

Chase Group take charge of the project. Not only that, it was now the Hay Group that was involved in

plagiarism.

Actually, it all depended on Tony’s intentions whether which side was at fault. If he wanted to help

them, the Hay Group would walk away from it unscathed. If only I can seduce him and make him

change his mind…

Looking at the man she had taken a liking to sitting in front of her, she walked to him and suddenly took

off her cardigan, revealing her sensual figure.
