Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 50

Tony did not turn around but his side profile looked cold and serious. Myra had no idea what he discussed with Old Master Hart upstairs, but she assumed that it did not go well.

Tony never glanced back and he did not utter a word. Instead, he merely tightened his grip on her hand.

When they reached the car, Leo quickly opened the door of the backseat for them.

Tony let Myra get into the car first before he followed from behind. All this while, he did not let go of her hand at all.

After the both of them got into the car, Myra shot a tentative glance at him. His lips were pressed tightly together and he had a deep frown on his face that made his expression look dark. However, he seemed to have forgotten the hand he had been holding.

“Director Hart…” Myra said his name worriedly again. It was only now that he seemed to hear her. Following her gaze, he saw that he had been holding her hand and with narrowed eyes, he slowly let her go.

Myra heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the atmosphere in the car was quite tense, fortunately they had reached the Chase Residence.

Myra thanked him in a low voice before getting out of the car. After taking a few steps, she turned around and knocked on the window on Tony’s side. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw his profound gaze but she quickly murmured, “I still feel very grateful toward you no matter what. Also… Don’t be too angry, Director Hart. No matter what, I’m sure your family has your best interests at heart.”

Obviously, she thought that Tony had a fight with his family, so she gave him a piece of advice.

With that, she turned around to walk to the mansion.

Behind her, Leo heaved a helpless sigh internally.

Even though he did not enter the study just now, he understood his boss well. No matter how I look at things, the way he dragged her along just now and the dark expression on his face looks like he’s just pretending!

Now that Myra is gone, the sullenness on his face has completely disappeared! Apart from that, I can even see the corner of his lips twitching upward.

At this moment, Leo was complaining about his boss in his thoughts. Miss Stark is no match for Director Hart at all! He is a hypocrite!

As soon as Myra reached the Chase Residence, Eve walked up to her anxiously. “You’re finally back, Myra!”

“Mom, what’s wrong?” A sudden surge of exhaustion after a whole day of dealing with different matters overcame Myra as she was changing her shoes in the doorway.

Eve seemed to have something to tell her, but she seemed reluctant to do so after seeing Myra’s tired look.

After Myra put on the indoor slippers, she guessed that Eve was probably worried about the Sunny Bay Project, so she consoled her gently. “Mom, don’t worry about the Sunny Bay Project; I’ll deal with it.”

“You? What can you do?” Eve blurted out without a second thought. After realizing what she had just said, she quickly shut her mouth again.

Just as Myra was about to walk inside, she froze for a moment before she continued walking. “Don’t worry. I won’t let Chase Group take the blame.”

Upon hearing her words, Eve remembered what Sasha told her during their phone call earlier. After putting what she knew from the Hart Group together, she initially planned to have a conversation with Myra. However, she felt displeased after seeing Myra’s nonchalant attitude, so she could not help but say, “Myra, I also hope that you can take on this project, and I know you put a lot of effort into it. But no matter what, you should not have copied someone else! Luckily Sasha is my niece, and she already said that she won’t take legal actions against you. Otherwise, if this news spreads, the Chase Group will be embarrassed once again.”

At this moment, Myra completely stopped walking forward.

She clenched her fists and loosened them several times before a bitter smile appeared on her face. “Mom, do you also think that I plagiarized the design from the Hay Group?”

She did not turn around but there was despair in her voice.

Eve’s eyes flickered around and she avoided looking at Myra. “Myra, what I meant just now was that… Sasha has said that no matter what, she won’t be angry at you, so—”

“Mom, I’m tired. Let’s discuss this tomorrow.”
