Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 21

Seeing the vegetables in her plate, Myra was speechless and she felt stumped. He was the one who asked me to stay because he has some comments on the design draft. Nevertheless, she knew very well that she could not afford to offend the important customer in front of her.

It was a rather quiet breakfast but she felt that something was off. Sitting right opposite to her was Tony, who ate his food as if he was at a fine dining restaurant even though it was a perfectly average breakfast at home.

Myra could not help recalling the interview last morning. A man like him is the best among those who are already top of the class.

After the breakfast, when Myra saw that Tony was wiping his mouth elegantly, she planned to continue their conversation on the Sunny Bay Project. However, he got up and walked upstairs after leaving a sentence. “I’ll send you home later and we can discuss it on the road.”

Myra was stunned upon hearing that. She planned to reject his offer and told him that she would just hail a cab instead, but he had already entered his room. A peculiar feeling rose within her once more.

After Tony changed into a suit, both of them met a middle-age man when they were taking the elevator to the basement parking lot.

The middle-age man, who was also in a suit, secretly eyed Myra a few times. Finally, he could not help but ask Tony, “Young man, this is your current girlfriend?”

Obviously, he had also seen the video and misunderstood Myra, who was already feeling rather awkward when he appraised her. Upon hearing his question, she blushed immediately.

However, just as she was about to explain, Tony lifted his head to look at the man indifferently. “Mr. Renaud, you’re going to the office so early in the morning?”

The middle-age man chuckled and replied after shooting another glance at Myra, “I’m sure you know that Philip went away to study medicine, so there’s no one in the family to take over the business. I’m not as lucky as your father, who could retire early and travel the world.” Both men smiled knowingly at each other, but Myra felt slightly frustrated.

After they got into the car, they were soon caught up in the traffic. The traffic was quite heavy in Bradfort City. Sitting right next to Tony, Myra felt that something was off this whole time. Seeing that he did not speak, she could not help turning her head around to look at the man with a perfect side profile next to her. “Just now, you should have explained that I’m not your…” She looked slightly embarrassed when she reached this point. The way he spoke just now could easily misguide others to think that she was his girlfriend.

Through the corner of Tony’s eyes, he saw her anxious look and smiled. Then, he asked flatly, “Have you looked into my preferences?”

Obviously, he’s trying to change the topic. Myra felt slightly torn. Seeing that he was about to talk about the topic she was interested in, she nodded exasperatedly. “I’ve already looked into it but mostly it’s based on some official information and some personal observations. For example, some official sites claim that you like modern classicism, but your house is decorated in a modernist style with a minimalistic and elegant touch.” After a pause, she turned to look at Tony, who was driving. “I wonder what your opinions are about the building style of the Sunny Bay Project.”

It’s not just the interior design, but the building style is the main highlight of the Sunny Bay Project!

Only half of Tony’s face was visible to Myra. Sunshine shone through the window on the other half of his face, bathing him in a layer of pale golden rays. It made him look less cold and more gentle-looking.

“Even though Sunny Bay is a high-end region, it’s just an apartment site.” He spoke in a low voice that sounded melodious in the morning. “Modern classicism is suitable for the design of the entire apartment outline but it’s not suitable for the interior.”

Myra froze as a glint shone in her eyes. “Director Hart, I’ll definitely try my best to produce a good design plan!” As Myra was overcome by her sudden excitement, she could not help herself from giving Tony a promise. Her eyes narrowed slightly because of her smile, with an evident excitement in them. Gone was her silent and dour look from moments ago. Because of this smile on her face, she looked much more cheerful.
