Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 93

Elliot muttered, “You actually ordered warm fruit juice? You really are becoming increasingly fussy, Tony.”

Myra felt even more ill at ease. Who would order warm drinks on a hot day? But… indeed, she could only drink something warm because she was having her period these days. She wondered if Tony ordered warm drinks by sheer coincidence or because of something else.

She glanced back at Tony, who—as it happened—was looking at her as well. There seemed to be an emotion in his eyes that slowly permeated the private room, giving her a momentary impression that he was wearing a tender expression.

Tender? Myra was stunned, but Tony had reassumed his usual stony face when she looked at him again. He asked flatly, “Why are you looking at me, Miss Stark?”

Upon hearing his words, Myra was startled for a moment. Then, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she instantly went red in the face. She wanted to say that he was looking at her as well, but saying so would sound too suggestive, so she could only answer awkwardly, “I-It’s nothing.”

Tony was a man who could be very serious at one moment and instantly shameless in the next. Myra had seen this mischievous side of him, but she hated herself for playing right into his hands every single time. With that thought in mind, she snorted inwardly and turned her head away.

Tony’s eyes flickered with fondness at the sight of her lovably haughty demeanor.

Damian, however, had a complicated look in his eyes as he watched Myra and Tony’s interaction. He was more conservative-minded, so rationally speaking, he didn’t quite approve of Tony’s involvement with a married woman. Even though the woman would be getting a divorce soon, she hadn’t gotten a divorce yet. It would be bad for both of them and their families if any rumors arose from this. However, he was leaving soon and couldn’t care about these two people, so he could only hope that Tony wouldn’t stir up too much trouble.

Myra ate her meal very quietly. Everyone else in the room were men, so they naturally had their own stuff to talk about. Therefore, she only had to eat more and keep pretending to be invisible.

Surprisingly, Zion Club’s food was delicious and very much to her taste. The dishes that Tony ordered afterward were placed in front of him, but they were easily within her reach. Basically, Tony rarely ate those dishes, so Myra ended up eating them all.

Food that tasted rich was delicious, but there was a drawback—one would become thirsty after eating them. Myra soon finished the glass of warm fruit juice in front of her. Just when she was thinking of asking the waiter to serve her another glass when he came in, she suddenly choked on a chunk of spicy chicken. Its spiciness spread right into her windpipe, causing her to have a bad cough.

A sudden silence fell over the dining table as everyone turned to look at her. Feeling even more embarrassed, Myra immediately turned her head and suppressed her cough. It was apparent that she was quite overwhelmed by the spiciness, for she hissed while coughing under her breath.

Just when Elliot was about to pass his red wine to Myra, a glass of warm fruit juice had been handed to her. Myra uttered the word ‘thanks’ with much difficulty as she hastily took the glass of warm fruit juice and drank it. The lukewarm fruit juice flowed down her throat, instantly making her feel a lot better.

However, after drinking the fruit juice, she suddenly recalled that she had finished her glass of fruit juice. Since the waiter hadn’t come in yet, the only glass of fruit juice left on the dining table should belong to Tony.

He’s drunk half of his fruit juice, but he handed his drink to me… Myra’s face turned even redder as she felt there was a strange silence at the dining table.

Turning around slowly, she put down the glass of fruit juice in her hand with a stiff arm without daring to look at everyone else. Then, she suddenly stood up, saying, “I-I’m going to the restroom.”

With that, she opened the door of the private room and ran outside right away, ignoring Elliot, who shouted behind her, “There’s a restroom right here in the private room!”
