Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 461

Myra and Tony left the bridal shop in low spirits after spending a whole day trying on wedding dresses, for they were unable to find one that suited Myra. As for the remaining matters, Tony had already made the arrangements. After all, no one said that a wedding could only accommodate one wedding dress.

Tony had already entrusted his reliable assistant with the task of managing the procedures involved in getting the tailor-made dresses ready. He had faith that his assistant would give him satisfactory results in the end.

Having settled the matter with the wedding dress, Myra pondered for a while. She felt that Tony had taken her out to try on wedding dresses for some ulterior motive. She knew that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. Don’t tell me this is all part of his plan to create a situation where he could openly announce that he wants to get the wedding dress tailor-made overseas.

They hadn’t given themselves much time to prepare for the wedding; Tony wanted to achieve the best results in such a short time, so he naturally had to be busier than usual. After sending Myra back to Stark Group, Tony went on his way to attend to other matters elsewhere. After all, Myra’s physical condition did not permit her to rush about all the time, so he took on the job instead.

Everything had to be done in person. Tony wanted to know every single detail about weddings, and every detail had to be perfect. He placed great importance on this matter; it was even more important to him than getting a deal worth hundreds of millions.

Tony had originally wanted to look for the best venue for weddings, but after giving it some thought, he decided to just hold the wedding in Bradfort City. It was better for his grandparents and Myra, for they could be spared from all the traveling.

After picking out a church, Tony wanted it to be decked out nicely so that it could be a place befitting a wedding. Since they couldn’t go to the perfect wedding venue, Tony decided to just organize it locally. He was quite positive about it.

After trying out the wedding dresses, Myra sat upright in her office. She was silent as she busied herself with the work at hand. When the receptionist saw Myra, she had wanted to tell her about Matthias, but she chose to keep quiet after realizing that Tony was present.

The receptionist finally went into Myra’s office after watching Tony leave. She had to report this in person, for she felt that it was deeply connected to Myra.

As Myra was concentrating on work, the receptionist knocked on the door. Myra then looked up and glanced at the receptionist, sensing the urgency in the latter’s eyes.

“Is there a problem?” Anyone could see that there was, indeed, a problem.

The receptionist looked at Myra hesitantly. She was struggling to look for words in her mind, for she had no idea how to phrase it. Matthias’ actions were really difficult to explain.

“Just now, Director Locke from Locke Group came looking for you,” the receptionist answered timidly.

Myra looked at the receptionist, puzzled. She was curious why Matthias would come looking for her at this time. However, she did not have time to ponder on these things. She had work and also the wedding to worry about, even though there really wasn’t anything she needed to do for the wedding.

“What business did he have?” Myra asked casually, figuring that Matthias should have a reason for coming here.

However, the receptionist shook her head. “Director Locke did not state his purpose.” She suddenly realized that she had been a bit too hasty; she hadn’t rearranged her thoughts and words properly before coming in, so there were some problems with her expression.

“I see,” Myra answered without lifting her head. She didn’t seem to mind this matter at all.

The receptionist remained standing in front of Myra, a look of panic on her face. She looked so anxious that anyone would feel nervous for her as well.

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave,” Myra told the receptionist.

The receptionist thought for a while before opening her mouth to say, “Director Locke behaved quite aggressively when he came here; it was scary.” The receptionist hoped that Myra could understand what she wanted to convey despite her toning down the descriptions.

Hearing the receptionist describe the situation, Myra looked up again and glanced at her. It was obvious that Matthias had frightened the poor girl today.

“Okay, I got it. You can leave now,” Myra said in a gentler tone, careful not to cause any more stress to the receptionist. After all, she had come here specifically just to give her a reminder.

Pausing her movements with the signing pen, Myra fell into deep thought. She still felt that something was behind the incident with Matthias coming over in an overbearing manner to see her.

Perhaps due to her not hearing any news about Matthias in a long while, Myra felt a sense of strangeness and unfamiliarity when she heard his name once again.

“What did Matthias come here for?” Myra pondered aloud. Her thoughts went to Heather, and she couldn’t figure out Heather’s relationship with Matthias.

There was a period where rumors about Heather and Matthias were spreading like wildfire. Myra was swamped with matters related to Stark Group then, so she did not pay much attention to it. Tony was even less likely to be concerned about things like these, so the two had no idea how ambiguous the relationship had become between Heather and Matthias.

Unable to figure it out, Myra decided to give up on thinking altogether. If she had the time to think about pointless things like this, she reckoned she should use it to focus on work instead.

As Myra continued working, she recalled a curious impression she had of Matthias. All in all, she felt a slight resistance toward him. She had told Heather about that feeling before, and even Heather couldn’t quite understand it, so she gave up on finding the reason behind it.

Myra didn’t remember if she had sent Matthias an invitation to her wedding, but she believed she did, for he was quite famous in the business world.

Tony wouldn’t want to exclude such an important person from the guest list in case people started spreading rumors again. At the thought of this, Myra suddenly had a strong wish that Matthias would not appear at her wedding, for she felt that he would bring bad news.

The mere mention of Matthias was enough to send her mind places, so Myra had a newfound fear of the man—yes, she was somewhat scared of him.
