Even though it was not time to get off work, Myra could no longer continue with her paperwork. After letting Tilly know about it, Myra walked to the elevator after she packed her things up.
Once she left Stark Group, she planned to hail a cab to leave. However, a black sports car slowly drove to her in the silence. As the car window slowly rolled down, the door was opened to reveal the driver’s face. Then, Tony exited the car.
He was still in his tidy business suit. Before they left in the morning, she was the one who matched his clothes for him and helped him with his necktie. He had a slight smile as well as a gentle expression on his handsome face.
Upon seeing Myra’s shock and vacant eyes, he walked over with a smile. “Why are you so shocked to see me here?”
She subconsciously glanced at the time. Logically speaking, he will only be here in half an hour’s time. Even though she had ended work earlier, she still ran into Tony waiting for her in front of the company.
“Are you tired?” Seeing that Myra was silent, he wrapped his arms around her waist, but he felt her slightly stiffening at his touch. Without any deliberation, he tightened his embrace around her, but with just enough force that would not make her belly feel uncomfortable. Her body slowly softened under his touch.
“Yeah,” Myra quietly answered. “I’m quite tired today.” She suddenly grabbed his suit with force and continued in a low voice. “Tony, I would like to return to my apartment today.”
“Alright. Let’s buy some groceries at the supermarket before heading back, alright?” Tony kissed her forehead with much love.
She tightened her hold on his suit. Without taking note that they were outside the Stark Tower, she suddenly asked, “Why are you so nice to me, Tony?” From the beginning, he had been infinitely patient and loving toward her; he mentioned that he had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Tony froze for a moment before he opened the side door and helped Myra into the car. Then, he arched his eyebrows. “Do you want me to treat other women in the same way too?” With that, he walked around the car to get into the driver’s seat. Seeing that she was about to fasten her seatbelt, he pulled the seatbelt over her and personally fastened it for her.
At that moment, Tony’s handsome face was rather close to her and his long eyelashes even swept past her cheeks. Different emotions bubbled up within Myra, but she merely bit her lips and took a deep breath.
The car quickly headed to the supermarket and after they bought the ingredients for dinner, they returned to her apartment.
Her apartment was ransacked by burglars last Friday. However, when they returned today, the entire apartment was already neatly tidied up. One could not tell that it had recently been robbed.
After Myra exited the car, she wanted to grab some ingredients. However, Tony took everything instead and entered the elevator with his other arm wrapped around her waist. When they entered the apartment, she followed him into the kitchen. Upon hearing the sound of the refrigerator being closed, she suddenly returned to her senses and nudged him. “You can leave the kitchen now; I can prepare dinner myself.”
Something flashed in his eyes, but he nodded and replied, “Alright.”
