Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 157

“How can I have something as dirty as a connection with the Stark Group?” Tilly raised an eyebrow at Myra while smirking. She shook her finger with a cheeky smile, pretending to be mysterious. “I might not have any connection with the Stark Group, but I have a connection with the Hart Group!” When she mentioned ‘the Hart Group’, her eyes practically shone with delight. She seemed like she could barely restrain herself from gossiping and quickly wrapped herself around Myra. “Miss Stark, I’ll tell you the truth. Mr. Hart is the one who asked me to come and help you! Haha! He personally offered me a salary! Because of that, I’m receiving a double salary! How could I turn down such a great offer?! Therefore, I made an unscrupulous decision to take up this sacred mission!”

Looking at Tilly’s excitement, Myra felt her face burning with embarrassment. Even so, her heart felt warm inside. That man is always thinking about me. Knowing how stubborn I can be, he is probably worried that I won’t tell him about any problem I may encounter here. That’s why he asked Tilly to come and help me out. She had to admit that having somebody helping her inside the Stark Group was truly a blessing. At the very least, she didn’t need to keep her guard up against outsiders all the time.

“Miss Stark, shouldn’t you come clean with me too? Are you and Mr. Hart in a relationship?” Tilly squinted slightly as she studied Myra with an ambiguous look. She had noticed the feelings Tony had for Myra since a long while back. For that reason, she had immediately called him for help when Myra had been falsely accused back then. She wanted him to understand Myra’s situation so that he could lend a hand.

Myra blushed crimson. Clearing her throat, she walked in the direction of her desk. “I guess you can say that.”

“Wow! You’re blushing so hard, Miss Stark!” Tilly made a cute gesture with her hands, shaping her hands into a flower shape and placing her chin on them. “To be honest, I knew even without you telling me. Before I came upstairs today, I saw you from afar. You were inside a black Maybach with a man sitting next to you. I’m sure that must have been Director Hart!”

Although she knew about the previous relationship between Myra and Sean, she didn’t think much about it. At any rate, Myra is already divorced from Sean; she is free to love anybody she wants. Besides, I’ve always felt that Myra and Tony are a better match for each other. Seeing the two of them together always reminded her of a fairytale romance, and it always made her happy inside.

Myra knew she couldn’t conceal anything from Tilly. Thus, she might as well admit to it. She glared at Tilly and said, “Why are you asking me when you already know?!”

Tilly grinned like a cat that ate the canary. “Oh, my! You seem so blissful nowadays, Miss Stark! It feels completely different from when you were working at the Chase Group!”

“Really? I don’t feel any different from before,” Myra stubbornly said, but she was secretly smiling inside. She knew—it was truly different from before.

…

Soon, Myra and Tilly became engrossed in their work.

Cameron did not go overboard either. Knowing that Myra’s assistant was also a newcomer, he let Myra choose a few people to assist her so that she could quickly get acquainted with her work in the company. Thus, she chose Genevieve Miller, the current deputy director of the Design Department, to help her. Genevieve was a long-term employee that had been working in the company for more than 10 years.

Working throughout the entire morning, Myra and Tilly gradually threw themselves into the work and finally came out of the archives at 5 PM. They were analyzing the recent Elsinore Garden Project under the Stark Group as they walked.

Myra was discussing the issue seriously when Tilly suddenly tugged at her sleeve and indicated for her to look at the people around them. She frowned and looked at her surroundings. At some point after they left the archives, people around them started watching them while whispering among themselves with expressions of envy, jealousy, and amazement.
