Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 40

At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, I will have more chances to push Myra toward Mr. Hart!

Leo was imperious of the idea that he came up with as he slightly tilted his head to glance at Tony.

Usually, Tony hated his subordinates for making decisions by themselves without informing him in advance. However, when he heard Leo’s announcement, his thin lips clearly revealed a smile before a look of approval flashed through his eyes.

The moment Myra took her luggage out of the car and she heard Leo’s words, her eyes instinctively looked toward the man standing next to him.

Tony was the tallest and most extraordinary-looking man among the crowd. At that moment, he was playing with his black phone; his cold and dashing jawline was on display and it carried a hint of laziness to it. If one were to look closely at him, there seemed to be a little hint of joy in his eyes since he was in a good mood.

However, when Myra thought about what happened in the hotel and in the car, she was displeased. Without any hesitation, she apologized to everyone, “I’m a little tired after these few days, so I want to return home and rest for the afternoon. The Chase Group and I thank you for your invitation. We’ll definitely treat everyone to a meal some other day.”

After that, she nodded at everyone while ignoring the sudden change on Leo’s face. She immediately called a cab right on the spot and bid everyone adieu before placing her luggage in the trunk. As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, the car quickly drove away.

In the meantime, Leo felt that he had shot himself in the foot. After Myra left, he did not dare to look at Tony’s face, but an icy cold grunt was suddenly heard, causing his whole body to tremble. Instantly, he remembered that even though Myra had left, the two ladies from the Hay Group were still present.

Therefore, he let out a laugh in a hurry. “Since everyone is busy today, maybe we can gather some other day. Miss Hay, we are excited to see the final blueprint by the Hay Group.”

After what happened last night, Sasha still had love for Tony in her heart, but she could not avoid the awkwardness that came with it, especially when his secretary probably knew what she did. Seeing how indifferent Leo obviously was toward her, she did not expose him. Instead, she smiled and nodded her head. “Thank you, Mr. Clark, for your consideration. We are just about to return to the Hay Group to redraw our design draft. We won’t bother you any longer.”

Leo vigorously nodded his head.

Soon after, the two ladies from the Hay Group also left the building.

After that, Leo quickly followed behind Tony to the 48th floor.

On the way, Tony suddenly spoke in a cold voice, “Did I order you earlier to invite them to lunch today at the Ritz Carlton Hotel?”

Immediately, Leo could feel cold sweat breaking out on his body as he smiled bitterly. “Director Hart, I made the decision myself.”

“You’ll be punished with a month’s salary. If you ever do that again, you’ll be replacing Justin in South Africa.” Tony spat out a few chilling words before he strode forward into the elevator without looking back.

On the other hand, Leo let out a sigh of relief. Miss Stark is really a troublesome woman…

Inside the Hay Group’s vehicle, Sasha and Lily were in a serious discussion about the design drafts.

Since it was their last chance, they planned to brainstorm an even better idea based on the previous foundation in an attempt to defeat the Stark Group’s proposal. Lily, who was the designer, came up with a lot of ideas for the draft, but Sasha had rejected all of them.

She had a feeling that Myra’s final blueprint would definitely be unique, so she thought that the ideas that Lily gave earlier were all too conservative.

“Don’t worry, we’ll return to the company and ask my dad for his opinion first.” Sasha comforted Lily, who was a little down.

After Lily nodded, she suddenly asked, “By the way, Miss Hay, when I came to your room last night to discuss the plans with you, you weren’t there. Where were you that late at night?”

Immediately, Sasha’s expression slightly changed while her face seemed to flush. After letting out an awkward cough, she answered, “I was walking around the hotel’s garden. You know that I’m under a lot of pressure lately, so I find it a little hard to sleep.”

Without doubting her, Lily nodded again. “Don’t worry. I’ve asked some of the employees from the Hart Group a few days ago and I’ve also secretly observed Director Hart. He isn’t a leader who will be easily persuaded by a woman, so I think he’ll give us a fair judgement.”

Sasha reluctantly nodded her head. “I hope so.”
