Although Myra still had something to say, Tony lowered his head to plant a kiss on her soft, pink lips. “I’ll be alright; I’m just trying to reassure you. After all, you’re now…” He rested his hand on her belly while smiling languidly. “All you have to do is take care of the baby you’re carrying. Just leave the rest up to me.”
Upon noticing his confidence, Myra was feeling more relieved. Nonetheless, she turned to look at him. “No matter what happens, you’re not to hide anything from me or let me worry, okay?”
“Okay.” Tony wrapped his left hand around her right hand, his eyes tender and jovial.
…
Meanwhile, Cameron picked up Sean’s call immediately after hanging up Tony’s call. “Sean…” He addressed Sean over the phone cordially as soon as he picked up. “Is something the matter that you’re calling me now?”
Ever since being turned down by Myra, Sean had been feeling gloomy. When he heard Cameron’s voice, he frowned in displeasure, but gave a casual reply nonetheless. “Mr. Stark, let’s meet right now.”
“Is something the matter?” Upon noticing the hint of eagerness in Sean’s tone, Cameron narrowed his eyes. “You know that Stark Group is currently facing a crisis, right? Because of that, I’ve been quite busy, so I might not be able to make time…”
Cameron trailed off by that point in order to gauge Sean’s reaction, to which Sean replied aloofly, “Is that so? You might want to meet up with me since it has to do with Green Palms Project. Let’s meet at Wilson Golf Club in an hour.” With that, Sean hung up.
Despite Myra’s attitude toward Sean, he remembered just how much she hated her father. Even though Cameron seemed to side with his decision to want to get back together with Myra, he knew Cameron’s support meant nothing. Considering Cameron’s relationship with Myra, she would only reject him even more if he banded with Cameron.
At that moment, his phone rang with a call from Eve. When he noticed the call, his mood soured once again, thus turned down the call without hesitation. Subsequently, he took his jacket and car keys before leaving.
The door to the lounge in his office was opened from within after his departure. Standing at the entrance, Lyla bit on her lip while listening to his fading footsteps. She was clutching onto a USB drive in her hand. Securing her grasp on it, she turned to enter the lounge once again.
…
After Sean cut the call with Cameron, the latter wore a sullen look on his face. However, he did recall that Sean mentioned something about Green Palms Project. What does he mean by saying that? Does he want to discuss something about the project with me? More than ever, Stark Group needs capital. The rest are inconsequential compared to that. Is he really going to invest in Stark Group for Myra’s sake?
No matter the case, Cameron figured the worst case scenario would be handing ten percent of the company’s shares to Tony. Furrowing his brows, he turned to leave Hart Group to enter his car before driving off to Wilson Golf Club.
…
The clubhouse was more crowded during the day compared to the night. Although the interior of the clubhouse was spacious and equipped with a separate entertainment area, it couldn’t compare to its outdoor land resources.
