Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 268

With a heavy weight on her mind, Myra took her cup and went to the break room to get some water. Before she went in, she heard a few women whispering to each other inside.

“Do you guys think that video is real? I was at the meeting today. When Miss Walton released that video, Miss Stark simply remained silent. There’s no telling whether this video is real or not!”

“Ah! If it’s real, does that mean she really had an affair?”

“No! I heard from a friend at Chase Group that while Miss Stark was working with them, she was already hitting on Director Hart in order to get a hold of the Sunny Bay Project! How else did you think Chase Group, a real estate company that started barely two years ago, was able to get Hart Group’s Sunny Bay Project?”

“But I think Director Hart treats Miss Stark really well. When I was working extra shifts the other night, it was raining heavily. You should’ve seen how gentle and caring he was when he came to pick Miss Stark up. Before this, I didn’t think Director Hart ever smiled.”

“It still doesn’t change the fact that Miss Stark cheated. A woman who doesn’t carry out her duties as a wife after getting married and even messes around with other men is truly shameless!”

“Hey, keep your voice down! But, didn’t Director Chase also have other women over those two years? Are only men allowed to lead promiscuous lives while women have to fulfill their wifely duties?”

“What’s gotten into you? Are you trying to curry favor with Miss Stark?”

“I’m just stating the facts…”

…

Their conversation turned into an argument. At the same time, Myra’s heart only continued to sink further.

Ever since she stepped out of her office, she could feel the unusual atmosphere among the employees as she made her way to the break room. She cautioned herself against wondering what other people thought about her, but it was still a bit difficult.

Upon returning to her office, she took out her phone to give Tony a call. Being in this overwhelming situation, she wanted to hear his voice, but as soon as she unlocked her phone, she suddenly received a call. After glancing at it, her expression became tense. She took a deep breath and answered, “Hello?”

When she heard what the other person said, the knuckles on her hand as she gripped her phone turned faintly pale.

…

Meanwhile, the moment Tony finished speaking on the phone with Leo, he immediately gave Myra a call, but her line was busy.

His eyes slowly darkened, and he tossed his phone aside.

Not long after, he arrived at Stark Group. When he tried calling Myra again, her phone was completely turned off.

With a deep frown on his face, he called Tilly instead.

“Hello? Director Hart.”

Whenever Tilly received Tony’s call or whenever she called Tony, she adopted a stern attitude and even straightened her posture without realizing it even though he was not actually in front of her.

At the thought of the news that broke out, she was going to tell him about it, but he interjected, “Where’s Myra?”

Tilly was taken aback. “Hasn’t Miss Stark gone to see you?”

Tony pursed his lips.
