Richard pondered for a long while as if thinking about what he should say. Sean waited for so long that he was growing impatient, but Richard suddenly said, “Miss Stark has fought for many projects for the Chase Group in the past.”
That was indeed the truth.
In the beginning, the Chase Group was in a terrible state. After Myra took over the design department, she had been busy and constantly working overtime.
She took great pains to obtain more projects for them.
She never complained about working overtime or the intensity of her workload. Judging from how hard she worked, no one could believe that she was a dainty young lady from a wealthy family.
Obviously, Sean knew that Myra wasn’t the only one who was busy in the beginning because he was too. A lot of times, when he took the stairs down to the underground parking lot, he could see her when he passed by the design department, and she would always be the only one working overtime.
She never once complained to him about work, and she had gotten many projects for the Chase Group.
As of today, the Chase Group was doing many times better than they were back then.
Sean suddenly let out a low chuckle. “At that time, I was like a demon. If Myra could do this to me and the Chase Group, then why did she work so hard to help us in the past…”
Listening to what Sean said, Richard knew that he understood the meaning behind his earlier statement.
He was just a secretary, so he had no right to interfere with his boss’ decisions. He could only indirectly express his opinions.
If he was being honest, Richard was quite fond of Myra. Unfortunately, she only stayed for two years before getting divorced from Sean. Then, Lyla…
Richard pursed his lips.
All of a sudden, the office phone rang.
With tightly furrowed brows, Sean waved a dismissive hand at Richard. “That’s all. You can go now.”
Richard nodded and left.
Sean walked to the phone and picked it up absent-mindedly. As soon as he answered the call, Eve’s panicked voice sounded from the other side. “Sean! Sean… Hurry up and come to the hospital! It’s bad! Elsie… S-she had a miscarriage…”
When Tony was satisfied, Myra fell into a deep sleep.
There was a soft knock on the door. He shot a lazy glance at the door, then responded in a low voice, “Come in.”
With a whoosh, a small head poked in through the doorway. Tilting his head, Henry looked at his uncle and whispered, “Uncle Tony, Great-grandpa asked me to call both of you down to eat.”
Henry dared not speak too loudly, probably because the room was too quiet. Not to mention, he couldn’t stop his face from turning red when he saw the scene inside.
Although Tony and Myra were just lying together, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
When Tony noticed that his nephew was being evasive, satisfaction appeared in his eyes. He said softly, “Myra is asleep, so you guys go ahead and eat first. We’ll go down when she wakes up.”
“Okay.” Henry had already withdrawn his neck, but he suddenly poked his head back in again and whispered, “Uncle Tony, do you believe what they’re saying on the Internet?”
There was a hint of nervousness in the little guy’s tone and expression. It was as if he was afraid to hear his uncle’s answer, but at the same time, seemed to look forward to it.
Tony narrowed his eyes, then placed a kiss on Myra’s forehead. He then raised his eyebrows at the little guy. “What do you think?”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Henry whispered, “I trust Myra too. She’s not that kind of woman! When I go down, I’ll definitely tell Great-grandpa that he was too unreasonable just now.”
With that, he gently closed the door for them, then the stomping sounds of his footsteps gradually disappeared.
Perhaps it was because he got Tony’s answer, but he seemed a little happy. However, the sound of his heavy footsteps woke Myra up.
