Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 35

“Myra, don’t you think it’s weird? When Elsie had an affair with Director Chase, she could have

everything that she wanted in the Chase Group. Now, not only is she demoted to an assistant, I’ve

even seen the director scolding and punishing her because of some tiny mistakes. Could it be that…

Director Chase has found out that she tried to seduce Director Hart, so he is now punishing her out of

anger and shame?”

After all, most men could not accept being cuckolded.

The moment Myra heard the name ‘Director Chase’ in her ears, she could not help but remember those

cruel words that Sean said that day. Since she felt a pain in her heart, she said faintly, “Who knows?”

She also noticed that Elsie had been recently silenced in the company, but it had nothing to do with

her. I have no sympathy for this woman at all.

Soon after, the Hart Group informed them that they wanted to hold a final meeting for the revision of the

design drafts.

This time, the meeting would be held in a hotel near the Sunny Bay Project because they probably

wanted to adapt the measures to local conditions so that everyone could come up with the most

reasonable plan.

Everyone was checking into the hotel the next day, so Myra returned home tonight to pack all her stuff.

Beside her, Eve remained silent even though she looked as though she wanted to tell her something. In

the end, she seemed to come to a decision as she tugged her daughter-in-law’s sleeves. “Myra, I know

that you had an argument with Sean, but a husband and wife should compromise with each other. You

know Sean’s temper well. Even though he can be a little rash at times, he’ll regret it soon afterward.

Can you please stop being mad at him? If you decide to move out, I’ll be very worried.”

For a moment, Myra was startled before realizing that it was just a misunderstanding, so she explained,

“Mom, I’m just going on a business trip for a few days.”

A business trip? Eve still could not believe her. “Where are you going?” I don’t remember Sean telling

me that Myra is having any business trips with the company lately.

“I’ll still be staying in the city, but because the meeting might take three or four days to complete, I’ve

decided to move out for convenience sake,” Myra answered.

Sunny Bay was more than 3 hours away from the house by car and there would also be huge changes

to the design draft, so she could not spend any more time traveling all the way there.

At that point, Eve still did not believe Myra, but she could only allow the latter to continue packing her

stuff.

However, as soon as Eve entered the kitchen, she immediately called Sean on the phone.

Myra did not need to bring much of her stuff for her three day stay, so she only packed some daily

necessities and three sets of clean clothes. After taking a bath, she saw a notification for an unread

message on her phone screen when she came out of the bathroom.

After unlocking her phone, the context of the message instantly came into view—‘Myra, we’ll talk about

it when I return.’

It was Sean who texted her as he was on a business trip in the United States. However, he seemed to

notice that his message did not fully convey his intention, so a minute later, her phone rang again as

another text with only three words was sent to her—‘Wait for me.’

Throughout Myra’s life, what tormented her the most was waiting for someone. In the past, she had

experienced what it was like to wait for someone with hope before it gradually turned into despair, as if

her heart was being repeatedly tormented without even having a minute to rest.

Maybe Sean himself did not even understand that his three words were so ambiguous that it gave her

hope, but at the same time, it cruelly dared her to hope for more.

After staring at the three words in a daze, she had already typed the word ‘alright’ before returning to

her senses.

For a moment, Myra was dumbfounded. Am I telling him that I want to talk to him or… wait for him?

A moment later, she deleted the word in frustration and threw her phone aside before turning off the

lights to sleep.

As she tossed and turned on her bed until 2:00AM with her eyes wide open, she felt a sense of pain

slicing her heart. Then, she picked her phone up again and unlocked it while her lips trembled. The two

consecutive texts still remained on the screen.

With her stiff fingers, she slowly retyped the word ‘alright’ and sent it without knowing what she was

feeling inside.

After waiting for half an hour, her lips revealed a self-mocking smile since she did not receive any reply

from the other end. Without any hesitation, she switched off her phone right away and lay down with

her eyes closed.

The next day, she arrived at the lobby of the Hart Group just in time.

There were already a thousand people waiting with their luggage.

The moment Sasha saw her, she came over excitedly with a gentle smile on her face. “Myra, it’s great

that you’re back! I thought that you would be bullied by that woman. By the looks of it, it seems like

Sean still loves you.”

As Myra remembered about the text last night, her eyes were suddenly filled with complicated emotions

while she nodded her head faintly. “Sorry to have worried you.”

Besides, there was nothing else she could say.

Since the cars were already arranged for everyone, she immediately entered the car that was planned

for her.

Upon seeing her entering the car, Sasha furrowed her brows slightly.

Beside her, a designer pursed her lips and said, “The Chase Group was almost out of the picture at

first, but I didn’t expect her to bring the deal back for us. It’s hard for me to believe that she doesn’t

have a connection with the Hart Group at all.”

As Sasha’s eyes grew colder, she remembered about the recent rumors about Myra, Logan and Tony.

Suddenly, her face took on a ghastly expression.

The moment Myra entered the car, a colossal giant suddenly pounced on her and startled her at the

same time. She immediately returned to her senses and looked at the massive dog in front of her with

joy.

“Meow!” she called.

Woof! Woof!

Instantly, the white dog obediently sat next to her while wagging its tail and shaking its head to

welcome her.

The driver took the opportunity to explain, “Miss Stark, Mr. Hart’s maid is currently on vacation and

there is no one at home to help out, so he could only bring Meow along with him. However, he doesn’t

know how to take care of it, so would you kindly look after it along the way?”

Myra waved her hand as the white furry dog had captured her entire heart. “Don’t worry, it’s a piece of

cake for me.”

In the past, she had also reared a small Samoyed, but because Sean did not like dogs, she gave it

away to a friend after her marriage. However, she still liked dogs a lot, so she started playing with the

big dog in the car.

Not only was Meow gentle and obedient, but it also knew how to play dumb and make her happy.

Seeing it tilting its neck and sticking its tongue out from time to time amused Myra. It’s intelligent!

On the other hand, the driver was in a good mood as well as he silently turned on his phone while

being engaged in a call, transmitting all the sounds in the car straight to Tony’s phone. Of course, the

driver would receive a hefty payment from his employer.

In the meantime, Leo continued to glance at his boss secretly through the rear view mirror while feeling

a little weird since he did not know who Tony was calling. He has been maintaining that posture with a

smile on his face the whole time without saying a word. It’s so weird!

Soon, they arrived at the hotel. When Leo was booking the rooms, he had spent some effort to arrange

Myra’s one to be right next to Tony’s.

“Mr. Hart’s pet would be taken care of by someone else most of the time. You only need to come and

play with it from time to time. Are you fine with that, Miss Stark?” Leo’s excuse was extremely

believable since everyone just saw how much the dog loved her.

Myra, on the other hand, had no objections since she thought that everyone’s room was next to each

other, so she did not feel that there was something strange about it. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

When Sasha received the keys for her room, her eyes were instantly filled with mixed emotions. The

rooms for the representatives from Hay Group are all on the floor above Myra and Tony.

She unintentionally looked around and realized that all the other employees from the Hart Group were

also on the same floor as her. The only person on the same floor as Tony is Myra!

The designer beside her also noticed the same thing, but when she was about to point it out, she was

immediately halted by Sasha, who said, “Myra, we’ll head upstairs to place our luggage. See you later.”
