Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 45

As Sean brusquely threw the document over, he wore a stern expression on his face. “Where did you summon the courage to do something like this?”

Myra heard Elsie’s snort of laughter from behind her. When she focused on the document, she realized that it was the document she brought to the Hart Group after it was switched—and images of Tony were drawn on it.

There were numerous drawings of him in various postures in a special, delicate style. Myra’s expression immediately changed right after she saw that.

When she was at Hart Group earlier, she did not clearly look at the document due to her embarrassment and fury. It was only now that she realized that the drawing style on the document was similar to hers! “I didn’t draw this,” she retaliated without a second thought.

When she lifted her head, her heart sank as soon as she saw Sean’s mocking smirk. She had to give it to Sasha, who was certainly skilled in framing her—she was even able to find a drawing that was similar to hers. I bet Sean now assumes I drew this. Even if it proves that I didn’t plagiarize, it shows that I drew the pictures of another man behind his back in such a lifelike manner.

“Get out—all of you!” he suddenly yelled in anger.

Xavier was smart—he was the first one to head out.

Elsie wanted to stay to watch the drama unfold, but after meeting Sean’s cold gaze, she had to leave the office as well.

However, she predicted that even if Myra’s reputation had not been completely destroyed, she would sustain a huge loss this time around. No matter what happened, she could no longer remain in Chase Group. Hence, Elsie did not care about watching the drama.

Initially, Myra thought that the actions Sean had done two days ago had alleviated their strained relationship, even though he did not directly mention that he wanted to do so. Now that she had been unexpectedly framed, they had grown further apart again.

She smiled bitterly in her heart. How is it possible for us to mend our relationship? It’s… impossible! There’s too much pain being inflicted. We are already separated by distrust, misunderstandings and the pain that we have caused each other—just like today.

Myra picked up the document and placed it in front of Sean. By that point, she had already calmed down. “I’m not the one who drew this and I’ve never committed plagiarism. It’s up to you to believe it or not. If you want to fire me, I have nothing else to say.”

There was no recording and no other evidence to indicate that she was being framed. She had completed the draft alone and she only chatted with Tilly during her occasional breaks, but that could not prove anything as well.

Sean’s face was extremely dark as he recalled the words that Sasha told him earlier.

“Sean, I only heard that Myra chased the woman you love away and caused the death of your unborn baby. I didn’t expect her to become worse. I can’t believe she actually copied the designs from Hay Group! Well, actually, since we are relatives, I don’t mind. I don’t mind giving it to you if you just ask. However, do you know what Myra has done since you have given her the cold shoulder for such a long time?” Sasha seemed to hesitate at that moment, but she gritted her teeth and continued. “It might just be rumors, but I heard that Myra met Mr. Logan and D-Director Hart for this project…”

He could no longer listen to the rest of her sentence.

Looking at the man’s picture in the design drawing, fury immediately rose within him. Just how much effort has she put in to produce such a realistic drawing?

“What is this attitude of yours?” Sean stood up immediately and he leaned forward on the office table in front of him to harshly pinch Myra’s chin. “Myra, you seem to be quite casual about leaving. You can leave anytime you like, but you left a bunch of mess behind for us! If you didn’t draw that, who did? Apart from that, about the plagiarism issue today, call Sasha immediately to apologize to her.” His face turned even darker.

In an instant, tears immediately welled up in Myra’s eyes.

She never expected Sean to trust her. During the incident which involved Elsie the other time, he did not listen to Myra’s explanation at all; in fact, he asked her to apologize instead. Even though Hart Group had already announced that they would look into it, he was anxious to accuse her.

“So, you would rather believe that I plagiarized it than to believe that it is my original drawing?” Myra asked in a hoarse voice as she closed her eyes in front of him.

Pain shot from her chin again, but the intensity could not be compared to the hurt she felt.

Looking at her expression full of despair, he subconsciously released his grip on her chin.
