Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 98

The three brothers in the Hart Family were about the same height, and they looked quite identical to one another. Right then, Shawn’s solid eight-pack abs were fully exposed as all he had on was his pants. If he tugged his pants a little lower, his Apollo’s belt would be clearly visible! His figure made him appear lean whenever he wore clothes, but his muscles were revealed the moment he took his clothes off.

He was God’s masterpiece. That perfect figure, his gorgeous features and his slight smirk—Estelle had to admit that she felt her heart racing when she saw him first thing in the morning. Of course, she only felt slightly mesmerized by him. The moment he said something along the lines of ‘I’m hungry; make me some food,’ Estelle would lose all feelings for him immediately! She thought about going against his orders, yet she found herself tearing up on the inside when she exchanged gazes with Shawn’s calm, cold glare. After that, she made countless attempts to suppress him without the use of force, but all her efforts had only been met with failure. She even tried to sneak out to go on a blind-date yesterday, but she ended up being dragged back home by Shawn.

After that incident… Her entire body still felt painfully sore from it. Right then, Estelle threw him a dissatisfied glare before she obediently got out of her bed. One day, I’ll make Shawn regret insisting on being with me!

Myra swiftly drove her car into the basement parking lot of the Chase Group building. She had just walked into the Design Department when the director held her resignation letter out to her and told her to leave the letter in Director Chase’s office. Apparently, her resignation letter had to be personally handled by Director Chase. She had no choice but to get back into the elevator before taking it to the floor where Sean’s office was located.

There were strict rules in Chase Group—a member of staff was only allowed to leave one month after they had handed their resignation letter in. The longer the night is, the more nightmares you get; I really don’t want to drag this on any longer. Perhaps I can take this chance to talk to Sean about the plans surrounding our divorce as well.

The moment Myra stepped out of the elevator, Sean’s secretary ran toward her and stopped her. “Director Chase isn’t in the office today, Miss Stark. You can talk to him once he’s back.” The secretary strung all of her words together and avoided making eye-contact with her. Myra found herself chuckling when she saw this. I’m sure that Sean and Lyla must be doing something in there. Myra then brushed the secretary off. “Why are you stopping me if he isn’t around? I just want to take a look. I’ll leave if he really isn’t there.”

“But Miss Stark…” The secretary looked extremely flustered. “Random strangers aren’t allowed to travel in and out of Director Chase’s office. I think it would be better if you came back when Director Chase is in.”

Myra was well-aware of the commonly used techniques and tricks that were handy in avoiding an individual. Furthermore, from the angle where she stood, she could clearly look into Sean’s office. Although his office windows were made of frosted glass, she could still tell that the lights were on in the room although she couldn’t see the people in it. I wonder if he’s just trying to avoid me. But he can’t possibly avoid me for the rest of his life, right?

The door to Sean’s office wasn’t locked from the inside, so Myra simply twisted the knob to push the door open.

The secretary had a rather annoyed expression on her face as she waited for Myra by the door. “You didn’t take any of Director Chase’s documents, did you, Miss Stark?” the secretary uttered in a harsh tone.

Myra had initially wanted to explain that she did take some documents with her. However, she realized that what she had taken were divorce papers. Sean probably wouldn’t want to let his workers know about his hidden marriage and my identity as his wife at this point in time. Furthermore, I don’t want to make a big deal out of this either. “What sort of documents could I possibly take?” she said casually.

The secretary gave Myra a suspicious look and scanned Myra from head to toe before fixing her gaze on Myra’s handbag. Myra maintained a calm expression as she ignored the secretary’s looks and simply headed down to her own department level. When she returned to the Design Department, Tilly’s response toward her was the most exaggerated. “Are you really going to quit your job, Miss Stark?!” Tilly looked as if she hit the jackpot right then. Before Myra could respond to her, Tilly grabbed onto Myra’s arm and continued to blabber excitedly. “Did you find yourself a new job, Miss Stark? Can you bring me along? I’ve been thinking of quitting this job a long time ago!” Tilly had conflicting emotions when it came to her job at the Design Department in Chase Group. She initially concluded that she would just go on with the job, but now that she heard about Myra’s departure, she felt like she had a reason to leave as well.

Myra simply shook her head. “I haven’t found a new job; I just want to leave for now. You can’t leave just yet, Tilly. I was the one who was responsible for the Sunny Bay Project, and you’re the one who’s the most familiar with it besides me. Aren’t you about to graduate soon? I’ll be leaving in a month. I’ll recommend you to the director before I leave—you can take over the whole project then. Although the Chase Group’s property is only at its infancy stage, you have a lot of potential; I believe you’d be able to grow a lot more if you stay here.”
