Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 43

An aggrieved Sasha stood up in the midst of the whispers.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you open the design plan that you brought so that everyone can have their say?”

A hint of disdain flashed through her eyes from an angle that no one could see.

At that moment, Myra’s nails were sunk deep into her palms. The design plans that I brought have been changed. What’s there to look at? Someone had obviously set up this meeting in advance. However, she wanted to give it a try because she refused to admit defeat, but sadly, nothing she did would change anything.

“Fine! What’s there to be afraid of? I trust Miss Stark!”

Tilly’s angry voice was heard from below as Myra tried to stop her, but it was already too late.

Tilly quickly brought the design plan to the square table before she opened it. “Huh? What is this?!”

Her scream was heard at first, but when she tried to cover the plans, she was quickly stopped by a hand next to her.

After the design plan was opened, no one knew who had started laughing from below, but what ensued was a mixture of laughter and a deep sense of mockery.

“Miss Stark, is this the design plan that the Chase Group decided to present to the Hart Group?” The deputy manager pointed at a charming man’s different postures on the draft paper while saying disdainfully. “Looks like the Chase Group didn’t send a designer over here to discuss the project. Instead, they sent a fangirl over!”

Looking at the design plan, Myra’s face immediately flushed and her body trembled slightly after experiencing such an unprecedented embarrassment.

“Mr. Gardner.” Suddenly, a man’s deep voice was heard in the meeting room.

Ever since she started explaining her design plans, Tony had remained silent, but now, he was slowly standing up.

His figure was imposing and the black suit managed to restrain the intimidating aura around him; instead, others did not dare to look him right in the eyes. He remained a calm expression as he scanned everyone with his eyes, causing everyone to subconsciously remain quiet. Even Mr. Gardner let out an awkward cough as he did not dare to speak again.

As Tony’s gaze reached the design plan, he realized that the man in the drawing was him. It contained various postures of him walking, sitting, thinking and raising his brows. After that, he turned toward Myra whose eyes were closed.

“If Miss Stark is a one of a kind genius who has the ability to remember everything at first sight, I’m really impressed by her audacity to ‘plagiarize’ the Hay Group’s designs in front of everyone.”

Tony’s voice was calm, but at the same time, it seemed to have exerted a sort of pressure, and caused everyone to breathe heavily. On the surface, he was accusing Myra of having the audacity to plagiarize in front of everyone, but there was a strange feeling about his words. Even Mr. Gardner was starting to furrow his brows because he obviously understood the meaning behind Tony’s words.

When everyone thought about it, they remembered that Lily continued to refer to her drawings while explaining her designs. When it was Myra’s turn, she never turned to look at the outline once even though it was laid out behind her, as though she was exceptionally familiar with the designs to a point where every piece of data that she explained was correct.

If she didn’t ask someone to spy on the Hay Group’s design, how could she have such a deep understanding of the structure of their design? Or does she really have the ability to remember everything at first sight? However, both plans are exceptionally risky. For the first plan to work, she would have needed to draw the first pick whereas for the second idea to work, she had to explain her design after the Hay Group’s presentation. No matter what, not many people will tend to believe her. The Chase Group is also a massive company, so why would they embarrass themselves? Logically, why would the Hay Group take such a huge risk too? This…

“Director Hart…” Seeing that everyone was starting to doubt the situation, Sasha stood up amidst the silence and whispered. “I remember that you once said that the Hart Group will severely punish those who plagiarize other people’s work, but this time, I beg you to forgive Myra. She… might have a reason to do what she did. The Hay Group will not hold the Chase Group accountable, so I hope that the Hart Group will do the same.”

The people, who were doubtful at first, were now looking at her in shock with eyes of admiration.

On the other hand, Myra’s eyes instantly darkened.
