Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 40



Chapter 40

At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, I will have more chances to push Myra toward Mr. Hart!

Leo was imperious of the idea that he came up with as he slightly tilted his head to glance at Tony.

Usually, Tony hated his subordinates for making decisions by themselves without informing him in

advance. However, when he heard Leo’s announcement, his thin lips clearly revealed a smile before a

look of approval flashed through his eyes.

The moment Myra took her luggage out of the car and she heard Leo’s words, her eyes instinctively

looked toward the man standing next to him.

Tony was the tallest and most extraordinary-looking man among the crowd. At that moment, he was

playing with his black phone; his cold and dashing jawline was on display and it carried a hint of

laziness to it. If one were to look closely at him, there seemed to be a little hint of joy in his eyes since

he was in a good mood.

However, when Myra thought about what happened in the hotel and in the car, she was displeased.

Without any hesitation, she apologized to everyone, “I’m a little tired after these few days, so I want to

return home and rest for the afternoon. The Chase Group and I thank you for your invitation. We’ll

definitely treat everyone to a meal some other day.”

After that, she nodded at everyone while ignoring the sudden change on Leo’s face. She immediately

called a cab right on the spot and bid everyone adieu before placing her luggage in the trunk. As soon

as she sat in the passenger seat, the car quickly drove away.

In the meantime, Leo felt that he had shot himself in the foot. After Myra left, he did not dare to look at

Tony’s face, but an icy cold grunt was suddenly heard, causing his whole body to tremble. Instantly, he

remembered that even though Myra had left, the two ladies from the Hay Group were still present.

Therefore, he let out a laugh in a hurry. “Since everyone is busy today, maybe we can gather some

other day. Miss Hay, we are excited to see the final blueprint by the Hay Group.”

After what happened last night, Sasha still had love for Tony in her heart, but she could not avoid the

awkwardness that came with it, especially when his secretary probably knew what she did. Seeing how

indifferent Leo obviously was toward her, she did not expose him. Instead, she smiled and nodded her

head. “Thank you, Mr. Clark, for your consideration. We are just about to return to the Hay Group to

redraw our design draft. We won’t bother you any longer.”

Leo vigorously nodded his head.

Soon after, the two ladies from the Hay Group also left the building.

After that, Leo quickly followed behind Tony to the 48th floor.

On the way, Tony suddenly spoke in a cold voice, “Did I order you earlier to invite them to lunch today

at the Ritz Carlton Hotel?”

Immediately, Leo could feel cold sweat breaking out on his body as he smiled bitterly. “Director Hart, I

made the decision myself.”

“You’ll be punished with a month’s salary. If you ever do that again, you’ll be replacing Justin in South

Africa.” Tony spat out a few chilling words before he strode forward into the elevator without looking

back.

On the other hand, Leo let out a sigh of relief. Miss Stark is really a troublesome woman…

Inside the Hay Group’s vehicle, Sasha and Lily were in a serious discussion about the design drafts.

Since it was their last chance, they planned to brainstorm an even better idea based on the previous

foundation in an attempt to defeat the Stark Group’s proposal. Lily, who was the designer, came up with

a lot of ideas for the draft, but Sasha had rejected all of them.

She had a feeling that Myra’s final blueprint would definitely be unique, so she thought that the ideas

that Lily gave earlier were all too conservative.

“Don’t worry, we’ll return to the company and ask my dad for his opinion first.” Sasha comforted Lily,

who was a little down.

After Lily nodded, she suddenly asked, “By the way, Miss Hay, when I came to your room last night to

discuss the plans with you, you weren’t there. Where were you that late at night?”

Immediately, Sasha’s expression slightly changed while her face seemed to flush. After letting out an

awkward cough, she answered, “I was walking around the hotel’s garden. You know that I’m under a lot

of pressure lately, so I find it a little hard to sleep.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Without doubting her, Lily nodded again. “Don’t worry. I’ve asked some of the employees from the Hart

Group a few days ago and I’ve also secretly observed Director Hart. He isn’t a leader who will be easily

persuaded by a woman, so I think he’ll give us a fair judgement.”

Sasha reluctantly nodded her head. “I hope so.”

When Leo announced the lunch invitation earlier, any person with a clear head knew that it was meant

for Myra since his words were often a reflection of Tony’s intentions.

Somehow, I have a feeling that the relationship between Tony and Myra isn’t as simple and cold as it

usually appears to seem. In fact, Sasha was not the most concerned about whether the Hay Group

would be able to secure the project. Instead, she was most concerned about the man himself—Tony

Hart. Is it possible that he and Myra… are having an affair?

After Myra took the cab, she did not immediately return home. Instead, she asked the driver to stop at

the Chase Group since she could not wait to head back to her office.

As soon as Tilly saw her, she immediately came over in shock. “Myra, why are you at the company?

You should go home and rest after your business trip.”

“There isn’t enough time.” Myra smiled faintly at her. She was more confident with herself at work than

in life.

Seeing how hardworking she was, Tilly’s eyes brightened. “Is the project already in our grasp?”

Myra shook her head with a faint smile, but just as she was about to say something, she was

interrupted by a sharp mocking voice. “In our grasp? Hehe, Myra, try not to be overly confident with

yourself. Otherwise, you’ll just embarrass yourself if everything fails in the end.”

Tilly furrowed her brows while Myra’s calm eyes met Elsie’s fierce gaze.

“Whether I end up embarrassing myself or not, it’s my own business. I don’t think it has anything to do

with you, ‘Secretary’ Foster.”

Upon listening to those words, Elsie’s eyes twitched as her face darkened in anger.

In actual fact, Sean had returned when Myra was on her business trip, so Elsie initially thought that he

would help her to ask for an explanation, but then, she experienced his heartlessness once more…

“If you ever dare to offend her, you better go the hell back to where you came from!”

Wasn’t he the one who assigned her as my assistant in the first place? Could it be that the reason why

he did that was not to support or defend me? That day, he did not even want to listen to Myra’s

explanation as he only wanted to punish her. Didn’t he do that just to make me happy? I’ve only

troubled Myra a little, but it was enough for him to allow the director to make my life in the company

difficult for the past few days.

In the past few days, she almost could not make it through a day in the company!

“You! Don’t get too ahead of yourself, Myra! Your luck will run out soon. Don’t forget that a while ago,

you were in a position worse than me! You—”

“Miss Foster.” A man’s deep and angry voice suddenly interrupted.

Without even turning her head, Elsie’s expression drastically changed.

Upon seeing the person, Tilly gleefully called, “Director Chase.”

In the meantime, Myra also saw the man walking toward her.

His black suit and white shirt made his body look even more imposing. With his natural threatening

demeanor, every employee in the Chase Group lacked the courage to look him in the eyes.

Back then, Myra would feel warm in her heart whenever she saw him like that. She always liked Sean’s

calm and steady aura, as if nothing could reach his eyes, but at the same time, everything was under

his control.

However, at some point, she only felt sorrow whenever she saw him because she realized that she

herself could not meet his gaze either…

For a moment, her mind went blank, but when she came back to her senses, he was already standing

in front of them.

“When I came over earlier, I heard Mr. Xavier complaining about many things, so why do you have the

time to come and have a chat with someone, Miss Foster?”

Even though Sean did not cast his cold gaze at Elsie, it was enough to cause her body to tremble

unconsciously…
