Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 170

Myra’s heart fluttered. Tony’s smile contained too many emotions, and it confused Myra for a while. What does he mean by that? Is he upset because I want to draw a line between us in front of Kris?

Myra spread the first draft on the coffee table in front of the man. As she tucked the hair that had fallen out of place behind her ears, she asked tenderly, “How about a cup of black coffee?”

During the time they had spent together, Myra noticed that when he was working, he had the habit of drinking black coffee.

Tony saw Myra looking straight at him, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his sharp eyes. He became even more irritable. Placing the cigarette back on his thin lips, he turned to look at the drawings on the table, then answered curtly, “Sure.”

His cold response stunned Myra, but it made Kris smile. “Sis, please hurry up and bring a cup of black coffee. Don’t leave our distinguished guest waiting for too long.”

Having said that, her beautiful eyes fixed Myra with an icy stare.

Myra’s heart tightened. Then, she turned and walked out of the office.

Before stepping out, she heard Kris’ voice, which had been toned down deliberately to sound extremely gentle. “Director Hart, I’m rather flattered that you came to the Stark Group to find me in person today. As for the Elsinore Garden Project…”

Myra didn’t hear the conversation that followed next.

After bringing in a cup of black coffee, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the office was good. Tony was smoking a cigarette while discussing the design draft with Kris, and the smile on the woman’s face seemed to illuminate the entire office.

Myra set the black coffee next to Tony. Without even lifting his eyelids, he continued to talk to Kris.

Watching his indifferent profile, Myra’s heart felt a little congested. She wanted to leave, but she was also reluctant to do so. While she was hesitating, she stood in front of the two of them for quite a while.

“What are you doing standing there?” Finally, Kris, who had been silently keeping her eyes on her, looked up and raised her eyebrows. The tilt in the corners of her eyebrows seemed to be mocking her. “Miss Myra, you can go out now. I have some important things to discuss with Director Hart.”

Clenching her fists tightly, Myra said in a business-like manner, “I just revised the first draft of the design yesterday. If there are some things you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

“If I don’t understand, I’ll ask you to come in and explain it.” How could Kris not be aware of Myra’s intentions at the moment? She glanced at the handsome man in front of her. It was a pity that Kris had fallen for this man too! The smile on her face grew wider, and she gave Myra a profound look. “Miss Myra, by now, your new boyfriend must have given you flowers and chocolate again, right? You don’t have to stay here to entertain us. I’ll explain the design draft to Director Hart.”

Upon hearing the word ‘new boyfriend’, Myra instinctively glanced at Tony. To her dismay, as he blew out his cigarette smoke, he didn’t look at her at all—as if what Kris just said had nothing to do with him.

The two had obviously reconciled last night, so why did, after just one night, their relationship return to how it was before they had made up?

Did I do anything wrong last night?

But, after she completely exhausted herself, she went straight to sleep. She didn’t do or say anything more. Unless… I was talking in my sleep…

Thinking of the dream she had last night, Myra’s heart skipped a beat, and her gaze inadvertently settled on the smoking man once again. Did I say something while I was dreaming last night that made him unhappy? Could it be about that man…

Tony still wasn’t looking at her. His eyes were focused on the drawings on the design draft in front of him, and he acted as if the two of them weren’t related in any way.

Myra’s lips moved, but she didn’t say anything. After shooting a glance in Kris’ direction, she turned and walked out.

What she didn’t notice was that when she walked out, the man who barely spared her a peek finally lifted those indifferent eyes and swept a glance at her.
