Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 171

Kris was bewildered, and a hint of surprise surfaced in her heart. She looked at the unsmiling but extremely captivating man in front of her. The thought of him coming alone to find her struck her mind. Now, he was agreeing to her invitation. Could it be that he’s… actually into me?

Without waiting for her, Tony had already stepped forward with his pair of long legs and was walking out.

Kris hurried to catch up. When passing by Myra, she didn’t forget to slam hard into her shoulder while saying delightedly, “Tsk. Don’t waste your time. I’m telling you; this man is mine! Myra, I know you’re also interested in him, but you should take a look at your current identity. I advise you not to waste your effort anymore!”

After speaking, she caught up with the man in front, and the two of them walked toward the elevator together.

Myra slowly turned around. At the elevator, the two of them seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions became more easy-going. Myra could see that the taut lines of Tony’s cheeks had softened.

She felt a sting in her eyes. Just now, she called Tony another two times, but he didn’t answer any of the calls. Her expression turned hard.

When Myra came out of the pantry, Tilly was back from her physical check-up. As soon as she returned, she ran to Myra’s office excitedly and happily asked, “I heard that Director Hart came in the morning. Surely you’re going to have lunch together, right?”

Myra paused, then said dully, “He already has an appointment.”

“He has an appointment?” Tilly wasn’t surprised, as Tony was indeed a busy man. But… She leaned toward Myra. “Miss Stark, are you upset?”

After thinking for a while, she continued, “Who upset you? Miss Stark, tell me and I’ll report to Dreamboat Tony immediately. I’ll get him to deal with them!”

Myra took a deep breath, then suddenly said, “Tilly, I need to ask you something… Imagine you have a boyfriend, and your boyfriend has an ex-girlfriend. Although he has broken all ties with his ex-girlfriend, he still may occasionally dream about her. If you knew about it, would you be angry?”

Being the clever person that she was, Tilly instantly realized what Myra had encountered.

She pondered for a while before asking cautiously, “Myra, you dreamed about your ex, and Dreamboat Tony found out about it… So, now you’re at odds with each other?”

“I guess so…” Myra nodded reluctantly. “I know I don’t love Sean anymore, but I don’t know why I would dream about him. I must’ve said something while I was dreaming, so today, he…”

“I was just thinking that the people outside were spouting nonsense about Dreamboat Tony talking with the woman on the other side for the whole morning! They even said that the two of them went to have lunch together. I didn’t believe it at first, but it seems like it’s true!”

Tilly rolled her eyes and said helplessly, “Myra, I don’t know about anyone else, but if it was me, even if I don’t show it, I’d still be a little hurt. Although I believe you from the perspective of a bystander, Director Hart’s way of thinking is too complicated. I can’t predict it. He probably just feels awkward. Myra, just coax him well and try to explain it to him! I believe he’s not an unreasonable man! Moreover, Director Hart has been pursuing you for so long, so how could he have the heart to really be angry with you?”

At Tilly’s reassurance, Myra felt a little relieved, but she was still skeptical. “You really think so?”

“Trust me. No matter how powerful a man is, he needs a woman to coax him.” Tilly leaned toward Myra’s ear and whispered, “And I promise, Director Hart is just waiting for you to give in.”

Sometimes, the larger a man’s ego, the harder he was to subdue.

Myra packed up her things and nodded at her. “I won’t eat with you at noon then.”

“I understand, Myra!” Tilly gave her an ambiguous smile. “Coax Director Hart well!”

At noon, Myra drove to Only One.

The manager quickly came to welcome her. “Miss Stark, regarding the diamond you left here some time ago, we’ve cut it carefully according to your instructions, and it has been perfectly set. It’s ready now, waiting for you to collect it.”

Myra gave him a nod. Not long after, she caught sight of the diamond that she had sent here last time. It had been cut and placed into two rings, and the dark blue crystals shone with a mysterious and elegant sparkle.

Slowly, she put one of the rings on her left middle finger. It fit just right.

Thinking of what she was going to do later, a faint blush appeared on Myra’s face.

Nodding to the manager, she said, “Please help me wrap it up.”
