Kris had obviously noticed the book, causing her to be jealous toward Myra.
It was blatantly obvious that Myra had better luck than her.
Tony treated Myra well and the Hart Family was also kind to her. Now that she was pregnant with his child, her position and status were different from before as she was now carrying the first great-grandchild of the Hart Family.
The folks from the upper-class society of Bradfort City had personally congratulated her yesterday.
On the other hand, Kris merely showed off her new boyfriend, Gideon, yesterday. Apart from the fact that the Walton Family was not as prestigious as the Hart Family, his family also disapproved of her and sarcastically spoke to her. Apart from that, she suddenly felt that he did not love her as much as she thought he would. On top of that, she could not understand him at all.
Her plan with Cameron yesterday had also failed last night. As Myra became someone harder to deal with, Kris wondered how she would be able to take revenge once Myra married into the Hart Family.
Hence, Kris clenched her fists. “You have to be careful, Myra. Don’t be like my mom—she suffered an accident and had a miscarriage as a result. The Hart Family will feel distressed if this happens.”
“Is that so? In that case, you also have to be careful, Kris. Don’t be the person who causes my miscarriage,” Myra replied flatly and exited the elevator when they arrived at the advertising department. After turning to look at Kris, she added. “Even Dad can’t help you if that happens.”
The obvious sarcasm in his eyes made Kris stew in anger.
Just as she was about to reply to Myra, the elevator doors closed and brought Kris upward.
Myra looked at the closed elevator doors before she turned to walk to the advertising department.
…
The Hart Residence was still sending lunch to her. When she was in the midst of taking her rest in the afternoon, Tilly entered the office with a long face after she knocked on the door.
“Miss Stark.”
“What’s wrong?” Myra raised her head. “Why are you in a bad mood?”
“There’s a collaboration between the Chase and Stark Groups. Director Chase wants to speak to you, so President Stark has asked you to head to his office.”
Ever since Tilly knew about Sean and Myra’s previous entanglement, she was repulsed by him.
Myra merely frowned when she recalled the unfamiliar number which called her during the night of the party.
“Why don’t I reject it for you? You are not in charge of the project anyway.” Tilly felt that it was essential to stop Myra from meeting that jerk so that her idol, Tony, would be relieved.
However, Myra recalled the message she received the other day and smiled. “No worries, it’s just work matters to be discussed.”
With that, she stood up and walked outside.
Tilly was worried. For Myra to be involved in this project, it was obvious that Sean had requested Cameron to appoint her as the person in charge. Even though Sean had helped Myra once when they were outside President Stark’s elevator and officially defended her, Tilly still hated Sean.
Myra did not ask her to tag along because she had something to tell him herself.
She was already tired of the way Sean kept looking for her. There were some matters to be resolved between them.
…
When she arrived at Cameron’s floor, she saw him walking out of the office. He froze for a moment at the sight of her before walking over. “I thought you wouldn’t come, so I was going to call you myself.”
“And?” Myra had a cold expression on her face.
Cameron arched his eyebrows. “I’m heading to the Project Department. You have a chat with Director Chase first.”
Hence, Cameron could not wait for Myra to reconcile with Sean again.
Upon hearing her words, Cameron felt slightly stumped and his face darkened. She turned and continued walking to the office.
Meanwhile, now that he was behind her, he raised his head and looked at a surveillance camera not far from him.
…
Even though she had deleted the MMS, Myra guessed that it was highly probable that Sean was the one who sent the message.
After entering Cameron’s office, she saw Sean sitting at the reception area.
Even though he looked better than Sasha, he looked extremely exhausted.
When he saw Myra entering the room, he immediately stood up and walked toward her with a hopeful expression in his eyes. “Myra!”
Sean was already mentally prepared that she wouldn’t meet him. He never expected that she would enter the office immediately after Cameron left.
With a frown on her face, Myra took a few steps back to keep a distance from Sean.
Seeing her defensive body language, bitterness danced in his eyes as he clenched his fists that dangled beside his body. In a soft voice, he spoke, “I thought you wouldn’t see me.”
“I indeed don’t want to see you,” she replied.
If it weren’t for that matter, she had no intention to meet him.
Myra then spoke in a low voice, “Don’t call me or send me any messages in the future.”
