For the entire day, Myra didn’t care much about Tony because he pulled a prank on her early in the morning. This time, Tony had pushed it a little too far though, for they almost ended up in a roleplay this morning, and Myra looked like an aggrieved little wife.
Still, Tony couldn’t figure out why she was so mad. He merely pretended to be asleep and made her touch a spot which she thought to be very sensitive, but he didn’t expect that she would jump out of bed in a huff. Even after he repented within himself, he still couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps, he didn’t understand that she was mad because she thought that she finally got the chance to sneak up on him, but everything was actually under his control.
Later in Stark Group’s office, Myra was busy with work. The company was now on track, unaffected by the change of ownership. Cameron’s whereabouts were unknown, and he might pose a danger in the future, but she wouldn’t exterminate him since everything was on track now, and she was satisfied that she was able to get back what was rightfully hers.
As she flipped through the documents, she recalled what happened in the morning, and a smile spread across her face when she remembered Tony’s face when he was at a loss. In fact, she wasn’t really mad at him at all, but just playing around with him.
Most likely, he was only acting like this in front of her. Comparing him to herself, she thought that the contrast in him was even more bewildering. After some time, he sent her a sticker through Messenger.
The sight of the sticker brightened up her smile. It was a sticker of a character from the Rage Comic series with the words, ‘Darling, please don’t ignore me.’ The expression on the sticker was on-point and amusing.
You’re not the only one who has stickers, Myra thought as she sent a sticker as a reply. The one she sent had the words in bold, ‘The sender rejected your message.’ Seeing that Myra had stopped ignoring him, Tony grinned unwittingly. They were so passionately in love that they could catch up with the young couples nowadays.
Using stickers to communicate the minute they got into a fight, they exhausted the stickers they’d saved up, and it was Myra who stopped in the end. Scrolling back to review their conversation, she felt that they were so childish because they only used stickers from the beginning until the end, but it amused her very much.
“You’re so childish, Tony,” she said with a chuckle.
Finally, Myra had sent him some text, and Tony breathed a sigh of relief. There were all sorts of bizarre reasons that could set a woman off, and he could only tolerate it no matter how ridiculous it was.
‘What are you doing?’ Tony sent her a proper text this time.
Myra took a glance at the piled up documents in front of her and rubbed her temples. There was still so much work left to do, and she replied simply, ‘Working hard now. Let’s stop here. I’m busy.’ She wanted to stop texting him because she had to prioritize work when she was at work.
Just when they could finally chat a little, she decided to cut it short. However, he could only go along with her, and after thinking about it, he sent another sticker to her.
It was a sticker with the word ‘OK’ written in a huge font. She took a glance at it and placed down her phone in contempt, wondering where he got all his stickers from. The stickers she had on her Messenger were all saved up from the conversations she had with others, and when she thought about Tony doing the same thing, she found that situation a little hard to imagine.
After putting away the messy thoughts in her mind, she lectured herself in her head. I’ve always been a serious person at work, but I’m now being led astray by Tony. This is not good. I have to continue to work hard.
When it was evening, she stayed back at work. As she was taken out of office by Tony on the previous day, a lot of work was left unfinished because she missed a day at work. Hence, she had to work harder on this day by working overtime. While Tony was already done, she was still working.
When he arrived at her office, she was still in the midst of work, so he cleared his throat softly to catch her attention. Lifting her head, she saw him, and immediately, a smile appeared on her face unwittingly. There were some people who were simply able to put a smile on her face whenever she saw them.
Putting up a stern face, he asked, “Did you ask for my permission to work overtime while you’re still carrying my child?”
The way he stared at her made her feel really guilty, and his question put her in the wrong. Before this, he had already told her that she could work, but with proper time management and not overloading herself.
In Tony’s eyes, working overtime was an unforgivable act, and the look in his eyes turned stricter. However, Myra merely looked at him innocently; there was only a little left to her work, and she really didn’t want to put it off until the next day.
“Can you show some leeway, Tony?” she begged in a cute tone. There’s just a little left, she thought, still holding the pen tightly in her hand.
He walked closer to her and snatched the pen away from her hand, saying, “No.”
In an aggrieved voice, she said, “There’s just a bit left and I’ll be all done. I don’t want to leave it for tomorrow because the work will build up again.” She had deliberately softened her voice so that he could let her have her way.
A frown appeared between his brows as he said, “Take a seat on the couch. I’ll take care of the rest for you.” Even though he came to that decision by himself, she decided it was best not to argue with him, so she gave up her seat.
