“You!” Kris was so enraged by Tilly’s words that the flames of her rage flared wildly inside her chest. Then, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Tilly. “Tilly Quinn, don’t forget who it was that placed you in the position of the Design Department Director’s assistant!” It’s just that I didn’t know Myra would eventually take over as the Design Department Director at the time!
“So, you accepted Mr. Logan’s favor too. Why are you glaring at me?” Tilly pretended to be innocent.
“This is just great! You double-faced traitor! Knowing that Myra was going to be your superior, you quickly kissed up to her. I’ll make you regret it!” After Kris finished ranting, she glared at both of them and left.
Tilly patted her chest. “Phew. What a fierce woman. No wonder Mr. Hart asked me to come and help you, Miss Stark! That distorted face of hers made me think that she was going to eat me up!”
“She won’t eat you.” Myra glanced at Kris’ back indifferently. “But, you need to be careful of her in the future.”
“Okay, Miss Stark.”
Tilly returned to her desk and played with the gifts she received. When she saw Myra entering the office, she hurriedly summarized everything that just happened in a text message and secretly sent it to Tony.
On the other hand, Myra walked into her office and closed the door behind her. She wasn’t bothered by what Kris said just now. After all, Kris had always been at odds with her. Besides, no matter how angry I am, just looking at the gifts piled up in my office makes my heart melt. Mulling over it for a moment, she took out her phone and dialed Tony’s number.
Tony had just arrived at the Ritz Carlton when he received the phone call. Leo took the laptop from him and saved the documents he had been working on previously.
As soon as Tony saw the caller ID displayed on his phone, the corners of his mouth that had been stiff the entire day softened into a curve. He answered the call. “Hello?”
It seems like just listening to his voice through the phone is enough to fill my heart with a faint sweetness. Myra softly said, “Did you send these?”
“Yeah.” He didn’t elaborate.
She felt a sweet but complicated feeling surging up in her chest in response. Sweeping a glance across her office, she felt as if the arrival of those items added a lot of color to her originally monotonous office and made her office look rather cute. She picked up the files on the desk with a smile forming on the edges of her lips. “I love it.”
“So… can I do whatever I want tonight?” The tone of the conversation changed suddenly. Stunned, she immediately recalled all the things that happened the night before. Following that, her face flushed scarlet, and she couldn’t help roaring, “Tony Hart!”
“If you shout any louder than that, I won’t try to be sneaky when I come to pick you up tonight.” His smirking voice sounded through the phone.
She bit her lip, knowing that she was in the wrong. Thus, she whisperingly said, “I’m going back to work now.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up after work.” After that, they both hung up.
Standing beside Tony, Leo was holding in his laughter so hard that his face was distorted. Tony narrowed his eyes and glanced at Leo faintly as he got out of the car. “I was going to increase your salary. I guess I can forget about it since you don’t seem to want it.”
Leo immediately turned into a loyal subordinate and said, “No, Director Hart! I was only laughing because I was thinking about something silly I did in the past…”
