Sean knitted his good-looking brows with a frosty look in his eyes. “Tony doesn’t deserve to be together with you if he gets angry at you over this!”
Myra was so angered by his reply that she almost laughed. Not wanting to waste her breath talking to the man before her anymore, she beckoned to the security guard who kept craning his neck and looking in their direction. Then, she turned to look at Sean and said, “Whether or not he deserves to be together with me is my call to make. Besides, there’s one thing that I’m very clear about—you don’t deserve to be together with me!”
By the time she finished her sentence, the security guard had come to her side. He then asked respectfully, “What can I do for you, Miss Stark?”
Myra’s eyes swept coldly past the man before her, and his expression turned ghastly. “Nothing. This gentleman might harass me, so please help me to keep an eye on him,” she said. Then, as the security guard eyed Sean with hostility, she walked toward the Hart Group’s building.
“I have learned my mistakes, Myra! Are you not going to give me a chance just because of a mistake that I made?!” Sean suddenly shouted at Myra from behind just as she was about to leave. As the security guard watched in surprise, Sean pursed his lips and forced a smile. “You loved me so much in the past. If we can go back to the past where we loved each other, nothing will separate us anymore…”
Sean’s voice could still be heard continuously from behind, but Myra was very calm deep down inside. Once she entered the elevator casually, she pressed the button to Tony’s floor and waited quietly before she could meet her man in a while. To her, no one was more important than Tony and the baby in her womb right now!
When she exited the elevator, Tony was already leaning against the wall near the elevator while wearing a white shirt and a pair of black suit trousers. His polished leather shoes were spotless, whereas his tall, upstanding figure and effortlessly good-looking facial features made him look as perfect as Apollo, the Greek god. He wore a meaningful smile on his lips at this moment, and he looked tenderly at the woman before him who had just come out of the elevator. “Did Sean stop you just now?” he asked with a raised brow.
Myra walked up to him and took his hand on her own initiative before she cast him a sidelong glance. “You were aware of it?” she asked. Myra then continued, “Why didn’t you go down and save me from that predicament if you knew about it?”
“Why should I go down when Sean is giving you individual shares of the Stark Group with the best of intentions?” Tony replied leisurely. “You should know that you can have the Stark Group firmly in your hands with the shares he holds right now.”
“The Stark Group’s shares?” Myra was startled.
When he saw her expression, Tony was displeased at once. He pinched her waist and asked, “What is it? Are you regretting it now? Do you want to go down and take back his part of the shares?”
Myra immediately felt helpless. “I wouldn’t want it even if he gives me the entire Stark Group,” she said before pausing for a moment. Then, she tilted her head to one side and looked at the man before her. “I thought that you were a magnanimous person. As it turns out, you’re jealous, hehe.”
Tony pursed his thin lips before taking the stuff Myra was carrying in her hands, helplessness and affection written all over his face. The couple then snuggled against each other while walking to Tony’s office.
Myra had no regrets about the shares Sean held. Sean’s shares were his, and her shares were hers. Since she wouldn’t accept Sean, she wouldn’t accept whatever he gave to her. She didn’t care if the Stark Group ended in her hands, for she simply felt that Tony’s help was sufficient to her.
Earlier on, Myra had bought those lunches according to Tony’s preferences. After they enjoyed a comforting meal in the lounge of Tony’s office, Tony held Myra in his arms and took a lunchtime nap. Then, he got up and went out for a meeting while Myra was still soundly asleep.
Myra still had a faint smile on her face when she woke up; she had a dream where she saw her mother again. In contrast to her previous dreams, her mother looked at her with great gratification this time and told her to lead a happy life.
Myra was too lazy to go to the florist’s again in the afternoon, so she called the florists there and told them that they could get off work early. As it happened, Leo came to her when she came out of the office and informed her that Cameron would like to meet downstairs.
