Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 533

Hours after hours went by; three solid hours had passed before Myra woke up. The hot spring resort operated 24/7, so nobody woke her up. They patiently waited for her to wake up on her own instead.

When Myra woke up, she did not remember what had happened before this. All she recalled was that she had bumped into Matthias at the hot spring resort, and everything else that happened after seemed to have faded from her memories. Nevertheless, she simply assumed that her memories were hazy because she was too tired.

This was, in fact, good news to both Heather and Tony. It would be for the best that Myra did not remember any of it. At this moment, the awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared and the three of them were back to laughing and chatting around.

Although there were still some hard feelings between Heather and Tony, they did not show it in front of Myra. As both of them were good actors, they easily concealed it from her.

Myra beamed at them, causing them to ignore the flash of uneasiness in her eyes, as well as the cryptic gaze she had when she looked at Heather ever since she had woken up.

Both Heather and Tony did not notice her unusualness. They started to act natural when Myra woke up, so they were unaware that she had already regained her consciousness before they even noticed it.

She lowered her eyes so that the other two wouldn’t note the difference in her gaze. Facing two masters of disguise, she had her ways to disguise her true feelings too.

“Let’s head back!” Tony suddenly suggested.

It was late and they should return home soon. They had spent the whole afternoon at the hot spring resort after all. To that, Myra smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep when I return home.”

Tony cast a glance at Heather before he turned to Myra. and when Heather noticed it, she sensibly chimed in, “Let’s have some more fun and return home later, then.”

Myra agreed to her suggestion, and Tony had no objection either. With that, the three of them—each with respective thoughts in mind—got into Heather’s car and drove straight to Zion Club since they had not been there for a long time.

When Elliot was informed that Myra and Tony were coming, he went downstairs to welcome them personally and saw Heather. Upon seeing them together, he nearly could not believe his own eyes.

“Tony, Myra, I thought that you two were still abroad. Why didn’t you inform us in advance that you are coming back?” Elliot was a little surprised by their sudden visit, but what was more surprising was that Heather was with them.

That was because Heather was rumored to be a workaholic. For multiple times, Philip had tried to invite her on a date but she kept rejecting him with the excuse that she was busy with work. Now, it appeared that she was the first person who learned about Myra and Tony’s return. Elliot truly could not understand the relationship between Myra and Heather.

“Hello, Miss Langston. We’ve met again. You’re beautiful as always.” Elliot greeted her warmly as he was usually extra amiable when it came to beautiful women.

“Hello, Young Master Elliot,” Heather greeted nonchalantly. Her expression was as though frozen for the entire day—she was either impassive or wore a stiff expression.

However, Myra seemed to not mind any of it. After all, when Myra looked at her, she would deliberately squeeze out a smile. Tony, on the other hand, seemed unfazed; he only acted like his usual self. Nevertheless, after the unpleasant encounter with Matthias and the series of events that came after that, which was something that even Tony had no knowledge of, Heather was in an awful mood. Yet, she still had to force herself to put on a smile, which explained her stiff expression.

Her phone was particularly quiet on this day, especially without Myra’s text messages since the latter was right next to her. Moreover, Matthias also did not disturb her as they had a conflict earlier.

There weren’t even Leon’s chatty messages because she had planned to look for him the next day. Everything had jumbled up into a big ball of mess, and Heather really wished that she could drop all of it and devote herself to her company instead. She believed that the following day would probably be a fresh start.

Meanwhile, Myra’s appetite was whetted by the delicacies in Zion Club as she could not get such authentic local food abroad. She was used to the taste of the food in Bradfort City. Although the foreign cuisine was refreshing, it was still no match to that from her hometown.

Like Heather, Elliot was shocked by Myra’s increase in appetite after returning to the country. While devouring the delicacies, Myra discovered that eating scrumptious food would put her in a good mood. The more she ate, the fewer worries she had.

Although the four of them were not as hyped up as they had used to, Myra did not want to go home just yet. Therefore, they proceeded to have fun till late at night. If Tony had not forcefully dragged her away, she would have stayed longer.

In the end, only Elliot and Heather were left behind, staring at each other. Elliot took the initiative to ask, “Miss Langston, it’s late. Do you need me to send you back?”

He felt that he should offer his kindness as a man since Heather had handed her car keys to Tony to lend him her car.

“No.” She rejected his offer without any hesitation nor any words of courtesy.

“It’s not safe to take a taxi home so late at night.” Elliot continued to show her his concern. He even regretted a little for not asking Phillip to come over so that the latter would have the chance to send the lady home. However, he was aware of Myra and Tony’s intention to set Heather and Lucas up. At the same time, he thought that with Phillip’s character, the man was probably not going to be a good match to Heather, especially having seen how indifferent Heather could be. After some contemplation, he still found Lucas a more suitable man for her. In addition, ever since Myra had left, Heather had become even more unapproachable and cold—even looking at her expression gave him the chills.

“I’ll be fine.” When Heather gauged that Tony and Myra had probably left the club by now, she did not bother to talk to Elliot further. She stood up at once in an attempt to leave as well. Elliot had wanted to display his kindness, but upon seeing her unfriendliness, his words were stuck in his throat.

“Young Master Elliot, you can leave.” She emanated an aura that was even colder than Tony’s, making those around distance themselves from her.

Watching as she left, Elliot had a thoughtful look. Women like her were really rare, and she was very different from the rumors. According to the rumors, Heather was smooth and sleek in dealing with people, and she had indeed displayed amazing social skills during the day when he first met her.
