Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 132

His words made her expression change. Then, she answered, “Director Hart invested in the Hartwell Group in the United States together with the Young Master of the Walton Family. As I am acquainted with the Walton Family, I know a thing or two about Director Hart as well. Speaking of which, Sean, I have an urgent matter to attend to. The Hart Group has canceled my rights to be the spokesperson of the Summer Bay Project, so I have to ask them for an explanation. You are aware of how much effort I have put in to become their spokesperson.”

A hint of aggrievement appeared on her face when she said her last few sentences.

Upon hearing that, Sean’s gloomy expression eased and he took her into his embrace with a frown. “I have just heard about it as well. Don’t worry, let’s first ask them what exactly happened.”

He was, in fact, the person who recommended Lyla to become the spokesperson to promote Sunny Bay Project. However, much to his surprise, the Hart Group chose Estelle instead of her.

When he thought of Estelle, it reminded him of Myra.

He had only recently divorced Myra and the Hart Group revoked Lyla’s qualification as the spokesperson for the project. Instead, they chose Estelle, who was close with Myra. Is there really nothing fishy going on?

Lyla soon arrived at the Hart Group. She went there alone because Sean had to deal with urgent matters of the Chase Group and at the same time, she was unwilling to allow him to follow her there. In the past, whenever she arrived at the Hart Group, she would be led to the floor where Tony’s office was located. Nevertheless, she was stopped from going upstairs by the receptionist this time.

“My apologies, Miss Fisher. Director Hart said that he is not free today and has no time to meet you.”

“Are you sure that it was Director Hart who personally told you that? Please help me to convey a message to Mr. Clark—tell him that I am Lyla and I have something to discuss with them.”

Lyla did not believe that it was Tony who told her that.

The receptionist’s gaze at her slightly changed. Previously, she thought that Lyla had a relationship with Director Hart. Now, it seemed to her that Lyla had been pestering Director Hart due to her unrequited love for him! Sigh, she is another woman who dreams of marrying into a wealthy family.

She shook her head. “Miss Fisher, what I said earlier was exactly what Leo asked me to convey to you. It was also what Director Hart told him.”

Lyla felt her vision become dark. “It’s impossible…”

Her cooperation with Tony was still alright in the afternoon and he even helped her to acquire the real estate in Hilliville. Why have things suddenly become out of control after a mere hour?

“How about if I head upstairs to find him on my own?” Although it was a question directed at the receptionist, Lyla’s feet were already headed toward the ground floor elevator.

“Hey, Miss Fisher, you can’t head up directly without permission.” The receptionist immediately stopped her. “If you continue being like this, I will have to call the security.”

Lyla’s feet came to an abrupt pause. It was only then did she really believe that Tony indeed did not wish to meet her.

She turned and saw the receptionist gazing with a look of displeasure on her face. With gloom welling up inside her, she stomped her feet before turning to leave the Hart Group.

As soon as she left the building, she pressed hard on the number that had not been answered for some time.

At the 48th floor of the office building, Elliot and two other men were peering at a man with a strange expression. The man in question was staring at a dark phone on a black table with a visibly bright mood and a cigarette between his index and middle finger.

At that moment, instead of a boring, dull ringtone, the phone on top of the black elegant office table repeated a phrase at a consistent speed—You are handsome; the most handsome one! You are unbelievably handsome!

Every time the phone rang, the phrase would be repeated at least 5 or 6 times before it stopped. From the moment it started ringing until now, there were already 7 or 8 missed calls.

Although Myra’s voice was melodious, the few of them were close to their breaking points after listening to the phrase repetitively for dozens of times. Elliot then decided to risk his life and hung up on the call. Upon noticing someone’s expression that fell at that instant, he quickly simpered. “Tony, we have acquired all the real estate in the Chase Group’s Hilliville project and now, trouble has arrived. What should we do with the assets owned by Myra? Should we acquire them as well?”
