At that moment, Tony’s thin lips looked as though they had some sort of magical power that made it irresistible for Myra to softly kiss him. One of her hands also went up to his face and reached out for his narrow brows before gently caressing them.
Suddenly, her tender hand was completely engulfed by a big, dashing hand.
Before she had the chance to react, her whole body was suddenly carried and laid next to the man.
The narrow eyes which were closed earlier now stared into her terrified eyes.
“Myra, did you just do that on purpose…”
The man’s voice was a little husky because he had just woken up.
Thinking about how she secretly kissed him while he was sleeping soundly earlier, Myra’s entire face instantly flushed!
“Tony, you were already awake…” She struggled to break free from the man in front of her, but as soon as she moved, she was immediately pulled back by his enormous hand.
He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and murmured, “I had woken up a long time ago. I just couldn’t sleep.”
The moment Myra understood what Tony was implying, her face turned even redder while her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
As she bit on her lips, she thought about what happened last night. Tony saved me again… Every time that I am in danger, he would always risk himself to save me without hesitation.
However, she did not dare to look right at Tony’s eyes, so she slightly tilted her head away.
Then, she took a deep breath before slowly sinking herself into the blanket with a red face…
When Myra entered the car after she was done with everything, it was almost 9:00AM.
Due to her passionate actions this morning, she did not dare to look at Tony, who was sitting on the driver’s seat next to her. After getting into the car, she pretended to read a magazine, but she kept staring at only one page without ever flipping the book.
The man next to her was wearing a suit with a pair of leather shoes, which gave him an elite look. With his meticulous expression and calm demeanor, Tony quietly drove the car while his body exuded an irresistible elegance. At first glance, who would have thought that the serious man was the same person whom Myra met this morning?
“Is it hot in here?” As the man drove the car, he could see that Myra’s entire face was red, so he raised his brows and asked.
“Um… No.” Myra’s voice was a little muffled, but her face grew even redder as she almost buried her entire face into the magazine.
Suddenly, Tony stepped on the brake and removed that annoying magazine before pulling the ostrich-like woman into his arms. “Did I cross the line this morning? Huh? I’ll be more careful next time…”
At that moment, Tony lost control of himself because it was the first time he saw her being this proactive.
Upon thinking about her own recklessness in the morning, Myra did not dare to raise her head once again.
When she heard a soft laughter next to her, she finally realized that the man was actually teasing her.
“I like you that way.” There was a hint of joy in Tony’s husky voice as his fingers gently caressed her lips before he landed a kiss on her cheek. He suddenly continued. “I think you shouldn’t go to the Stark Group today. Come with me to the Hart Group.”
However, he probably had changed the subject too quickly, which startled Myra. Then, he smiled faintly at her. “What is it? Don’t you want to go?”
Myra shook her head.
After what happened last night, she did not want to meet Cameron and Kris in the Stark Group, so she understood why Tony invited her to the Hart Group instead. However, even if she refused to see them, they would still meet each other one way or another in the end. When she thought about what Kris did to her especially, the emotions in her heart started to churn.
“I want to return to the Stark Group today.” Myra took a deep breath and met Tony’s dark eyes. “I know that you are worried about me, but I still need to face them one way or another. Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong, so I don’t want to avoid them directly.”
At this point, her voice slowly grew stronger.
From last night’s terror of knowing she was being set up to being touched in the heart by the man who rescued her and the calmness she was feeling now, Myra knew that she wasn’t strong or powerful enough to face all those, but she also refused to back down.
Upon seein her determined eyes, Tony seemed to feel a little resigned. Then, he lovingly rubbed her head and placed her back on the passenger seat before starting the engine again. “Last night, I talked to Cameron on the phone,” he uttered casually.
Instantly, Myra clenched both her hands on each side.
Tony pressed his thin lips and murmured, “He agreed to give you another 5% of the Stark Group’s shares.” As for what he did to make Cameron accede, he did not plan to tell Myra yet.
“5% of the shares…” she murmured repeatedly while revealing a sarcastic smile. Then, she turned her head and gazed outside the window.
She probably did not know that she had changed from being shy a second ago to someone who looked sorrowful in just a blink of an eye because of the name ‘Stark Group’.
Thinking about how Thomas violated Myra when he opened the door to the private room, a hint of coldness flashed through Tony’s eyes that were as dark as the night.
There was a strange tension brewing inside the Stark Group’s Project Department today.
The moment Kris arrived at the Project Department, everyone realized that she was wearing a mask and pair of sunglasses, which was abnormal. Also, her temper today was unusually bad as anyone who came to her at that moment would be scolded ruthlessly.
Therefore, everyone started to guess whether her face had been disfigured, but they were still terrified while doing their work.
When Myra saw Tilly in the company this morning, she finally let out a huge sigh of relief. Last night, Tilly followed me to the Zion Club. If I experienced that incident last night, I assume that she would meet the same fate too. If that’s the case, I’ll blame myself for the rest of my life.
After calling Tilly into her office, Myra immediately walked up to her from her office desk and grabbed both her hands before giving her a thorough look. “Tilly, were you fine last night?”
Tilly’s face was still a little pale, but she looked quite good as she shook her head. “I’m fine, Miss Stark…”
However, she did not dare to look toward Myra.
Myra did not notice it and she smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry. Due to my mistake last night, I almost dragged you into this mess.” I’m the one who Kris wanted to hurt. Tilly was just innocently involved in all this.
