Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 142

Myra’s sleepy voice sounded soft and gentle as if it was a small hand caressing Tony’s heart. The impressive New York street view was no longer visible to him.

Remembering the moment he saw her message after he got off the plane, his heart softened all of a sudden. He took the cigarette away from his thin lips and put it out on the ashtray. His charmingly low voice rose in Myra’s ear. “Did you miss me?”

As if an electric current had passed through her body, Myra shuddered slightly and buried herself deeper into her bed. Her muffled sound rose from under her blanket. “Yes…” Then, she heard his low chuckle. She could even feel the vibration of his chest even though he was far away.

She felt like she was getting weaker after she met Tony. When she couldn’t see him, she missed him a lot. Yet, when he was in front of her, she felt awkward. Biting her lip, she then said suddenly, “Did you go back to deal with the Hartwell Group?” Estelle once mentioned to her that Tony planned to move the company back to Bradfort City and merge it with the Hart Group.

Instead of being surprised by the fact that Myra knew what he was doing, Tony pulled out another cigarette from the cigarette case. He paused for a moment and threw it into the trash can inside the car again. Leaning back into the leather car seat, he loosened his tie, exuding an indifferent aura. “Don’t worry. There will indeed be work-related social functions. But, those women aren’t up to my standards.”

At his remarks, Myra’s heart flinched. A sweet feeling slowly flowed through her limbs. She lifted the corners of her mouth and huffed. “If those women aren’t up to your standards, then who’s up to your standards?”

Instantly, Myra slightly regretted what she said. Nevertheless, she had to admit that she was secretly looking forward to his answer. As expected, she heard his low chuckle again. Tony’s voice was low and sexy, and it made her cheeks burn up. Instantly, her sleepiness went away, and she straightened up her neck and exclaimed, “What are you laughing at?”

“You want me to confess my love for you, huh, Myra?” Tony lifted the corners of his thin lips slightly. When the driver saw his expression from the rear-view mirror, his eyes widened in bewilderment. However, he soon took notice of the harsh gaze his boss was giving him faintly, and he quickly concentrated on the traffic ahead. Still, he couldn’t help but feel astonished. He had long been employed as Tony’s personal driver in New York, but he had never seen him talking to anyone on the phone with that tone and expression.

The one on the other side must be a woman, but she’s definitely not that one… The driver couldn’t help but feel sorry for that woman when he thought about her.

The moment Myra heard Tony’s words, her face was blushing as red as a tomato. Luckily, he couldn’t see her embarrassing state from the other side. Her grip on the phone tightened. “It’s late. I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

“So, you don’t want to know who’s up to my standards?” Nonetheless, it seemed like Tony didn’t want to let her go.

Immediately, she was annoyed. “I don’t want to know any more!”

“Sigh. That’s a shame. I was going to tell you. Since you’re tired, go to sleep then.” He sounded like a lazy leopard. As he narrowed his eyes slightly, he suddenly continued, “Tomorrow Elliot will send Meow to your place. Meow will look after you for me when I’m not around.”

‘Meow will look after you for me when I’m not around.’

Myra recalled what Tony said on the phone before he left. ‘When I’m away, you’re not allowed to talk to other men, nor have any contact with them.’

A mixture of sweetness and embarrassment enveloped her heart. What a domineering man!

Quickly, she forgot his wickedness from earlier and let out a hiss as she gritted her teeth. As if she was reluctant, she said, “Fine.” It had been quite some time since she saw that big furry dog. She missed it a lot.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Even though nobody spoke, and Myra could only hear Tony’s indistinct breathing, she still felt a sense of satisfaction. However, knowing that he just got off the plane and would have a lot of things to deal with, she was understanding enough to say, “I’ll let you go. Talk to you later.”

“Hmm.” Tony’s voice was faint.
