Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 61

He would always be attracted to that woman. Myra felt as if she was shrouded in freezing coldness at that instant and all her strength left her body. Sean was so close to her, yet he felt so far.

Looking at the current scene made her realize how dumb she had been in the past. She thought that she would be able to capture the man’s heart if she worked harder, but never had she thought that the man would shut himself away from everyone after the woman had left. He said that he hated that woman but without love, why would there be hatred?

Myra staggered and nearly fell, but a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the side and supported her. “Miss Stark, please be careful.”

The voice, which she found a little familiar, made her turn in its direction in a daze, only to see a man whom she did not know. To maintain her composure, she had to clench her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palm. With his support, she was able to stand properly. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Philip peered at the torn garment at her left arm with a frown. It was obvious that she had a scratch there since her clothes were torn and there was blood on her skin. Just as he was about to ask her to follow him and get her wound treated, Myra walked past him impassively.

“Who are you looking at?” Elliot, who finally found Philip after some effort, patted the latter’s shoulder. Following his gaze, Elliot saw Myra, which in turn made his eyes widen. Then, he lifted his feet in an attempt to run toward her but Philip suddenly grabbed the back of his collar, so Elliot turned and glared at him. “What are you doing? Let go of me! I have to go and settle scores with her! How dare she seduce Tony when she is a married woman herself? That’s… That’s just outrageous!” His reaction made Philip furrow his brows even deeper.

It was Philip who first met Myra, and it was also him who shared her photo to the Messenger chat group which consisted of his childhood friends. Everyone thought that she looked familiar but they could not recall who she was. After that, they did some investigations and what they found shocked them greatly—the woman whom Tony liked turned out to be the young lady of the Stark Family, the very same woman who was married to the Director of Chase Group, Sean Chase!

Elliot was obviously pissed. He initially had a good impression of her, as he thought that a woman who was able to make Tony fall for her would definitely not be a simple person. However, when he found out later that she was actually married yet she went to seduce Tony, his impression of her immediately took a nosedive.

“Don’t take any rash actions. I don’t think that Miss Stark is that kind of a woman.” Philip stopped him.

Elliot pressed his lips together. “But she is the person-in-charge of the Sunny Bay Project. Who knows if she approached Tony for the project? Anyway, we have to warn this sort of woman to stay away from Tony as soon as possible!”

Philip shook his head helplessly. “Do you think that Tony is stupid? He himself should be clear about this. Besides…”

“Besides what?”

Philip glanced at the dazzling woman who had left the stage and narrowed his eyes, without telling Elliot what he had on his mind. Besides, I have a feeling that it is not Miss Stark who is trying to seduce Tony, but it is Tony… who is trying his best to win over Miss Stark’s heart…

The desolate Myra walked past a waiter and took a glass of champagne from his tray without even glancing at him. She then downed the champagne before putting the glass back. The waiter’s expression changed slightly and just as he was about to say something, Myra walked past him.

She initially wanted to leave but for some reason, her head felt heavier and her body became hotter, as if it no longer belonged to her. Without any hesitation, she headed over to a quiet corner of the hall. Nestled in the couch, the soft sensation made her feel listless and her consciousness gradually left her body.

In a daze, she seemed to hear a buzzing by her ear. It was a little noisy so she waved her hand at the source of the noise. She tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, stopping her from opening them. After a while, she gave up on this futile action but her body seemed to feel a little hot. Just as she was about to take off her clothes, she fell into a slightly cooling embrace the next moment.

Philip and Elliot, who was located not far from them, saw Tony taking care of the woman and complicated expressions spread across their faces. Elliot even walked over with the intention of saying something, but he was tentatively stopped by Philip.

“Tony…”

“If the old man asks about me, tell him that I am going out to get some air,” Tony replied with a dark expression.
