Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 464

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?

“Jobbery,” Evan said.

It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”

Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.

“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group for once, but Old Master Langston refused to allow the collaboration. After all, since Matthias’ target was Hart Group, Locke Group would only benefit from partnering with Langston Group.

“Instead of discussing the partnership, why don’t you try gaining their attention on smaller matters?” Evan nudged Matthias with his elbow. Since when did Matthias become so inflexible?

“There’s no use for any discussion if Old Master Langston does not approve of it.” Matthias rolled his eyes at Evan. It was undeniable that Evan wasn’t made for the business field.

“Can’t you find work-related matters?” Evan asked tentatively.

After pondering for a moment, Matthias replied, “Nope. I can’t think of any!” If there really was any matter related to them, he would have taken advantage of it so he could be free from the complicated situation.

“Then, it’s better if you stop bothering Heather now.” Evan figured that it was for the best if Matthias didn’t appear in front of Heather now.

However, Matthias frowned. Still, he had to admit that Evan made sense.

“Since everything you do will be deemed wrong, it’s better if you don’t see her as much so you won’t always be in the wrong.” Evan felt that Heather and Matthias should take some time off to calm down because the two of them would only argue if they were pitted against each other.

“You’re right.” Matthias agreed with Evan’s idea. After discussing with Evan for a while, he could only decide not to make any approaches. Although he had his doubts, he could tell that this was the better option at this point. Matthias planned to find an opportunity after the marriage to gain Heather’s liking again because he undoubtedly didn’t want her to hate him. This emotion was way more intense than him not wanting Myra to hate him. His subconscious was telling him that he didn’t want Heather to hate him again.

“I noticed that you’ve been mentioning Heather a lot recently, way more than Myra.” Evan patted Matthias’ shoulder.

Right then, Matthias looked like a fool who was struck by love. However, he still hadn’t figured out his feelings because he kept insisting that he was loyal to Myra even though his attitude showed that he was drifting toward Heather.

This kind of ambiguous state was often the scariest where by the time one opened their eyes, the one they loved might not be there anymore. One might not feel it when the other was still present, but once they were gone, they were likely gone for real.

Nevertheless, Evan couldn’t comment too much about this, so he hoped that Matthias could avoid another sad ending and finally experience true love.

“Thanks again.” Matthias gave Evan’s strong shoulder a solid pat. “Your salary will be raised by 20%.”

When Evan heard that, his eyes brightened. He didn’t yearn for much, but a raise in salary was good news to him.

In fact, Matthias couldn’t recall how Evan was at the very start. Back then, Evan wasn’t this way. He used to have many dreams that he wanted to achieve and many goals that he wanted to realize. However, time would always soften up people’s edges. Right now, Evan was living the life that Matthias yearned for. Wasn’t it great to be free?

Still, everyone had their own problems. Even Evan had things that he worried about. Yet, he never showed any of his problems because he wished that he would be the one to bring happiness instead of negative energy.

Before the wedding, Matthias had decided not to meet Heather anymore and threw himself completely into his work. As for the person that Myra was marrying, he also forced himself not to think about it anymore so that he could do his best to give her his blessings. Just like what Heather said, he should wish for the happiness of the person that he loved, even though it was tough to convince himself to do it.

While Matthias was completely absorbed in his work, he managed to calm down a lot. Moreover, he didn’t have any time to wind down due to the dispute with Hart Group.

If it weren’t for Tony abandoning his work to focus on the preparation of the wedding these few days, it would have been over for Locke Group. Meanwhile, Matthias was busy getting drunk.
