Myra was touched upon seeing this. It was likely that Tony gave such an order because he was worried that the people from the Hart Group might make snide comments in front of her. After all, the rumors of her plagiarism had spread throughout the Hart Group as well.
When Myra reached the 48th floor, she entered Tony’s office. At this moment, Sasha was already there and Tony was sitting behind his office table, with his crossed fingers supporting his forehead. Through the windows, sunlight shone on his back and the outline of his figure glimmered slightly.
“Director Hart, Miss Stark is here.”
After hearing Leo’s voice, Tony raised his head and his eyes narrowed. Then, he leaned backward in the chair. His facial features were perfectly exquisite and well-defined, and he was also tall and well-built. He was dominant yet not ostentatious, sharp yet not ruthless, and there was a hint of laziness as he leaned backward at this moment. Tony had completely dominated Sasha’s field of sight now.
Since the last failure, she went back and thought carefully about the possible reasons. Then, she came to the conclusion that Tony did not understand her well enough. Hence, she begged her grandfather to call Old Master Hart to give him some hints about her feelings. According to her grandfather, even though Old Master Hart did not give a straightforward reply, he seemed to be pretty satisfied with her judging from his tone. She was beyond excited to hear about this, so she quickly drove over here once she received the call from Hart Group. To her, everything was going according to plan. Since she was just here to witness Myra’s trial, she did not even bring her designer over.
Sasha flashed a kind and gentle smile at Myra. “Myra, I believe that Aunt Eve has already passed my message to you. If you admit your mistake now, no one will know about this in the future.” Sasha looked at Myra earnestly to show Tony that she was kind and generous. She had always grabbed on every opportunity to showcase herself.
“Oh—is that so?” Myra’s eyes gradually became colder.
“Myra, I know you did this because you love Sean very much. You want to take this project for him so much that you gave in to the temptation. I know you did not mean to do this and I—”
“Director Hart, please let us know the results.” Myra interrupted Sasha without waiting for her to finish speaking.
Annoyance was already in Tony’s eyes but when he saw Myra’s reaction, there was a quick flash of a smile on the corner of his lips, so quick that no one saw it except Sasha. She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips as she gently murmured, “Director Hart, please go ahead.” She looked like she was trying to stay strong after she had been wronged.
Myra smiled sarcastically and stopped looking at her. Instead, she turned her gaze to the emotionless man in front of them.
At this moment, Leo placed a laptop in front of Tony and opened a file in it. Then, Tony turned it around so that it was facing both the women. “Here are the results,” he announced in an indifferent tone as his gaze swept past Sasha coldly.
“This is the result?” Sasha was the first to voice out her confusion.
A clear picture of a woman was shown on the screen of the laptop. Her head was lowered, so her eyes could not be seen. Instead, only the shadows from her long eyelashes were visible. She had an exquisite nose and petal-like lips. Even though her hair was tied back, there were strands of it falling into her face, forming a stark contrast compared to her fair neck. This woman was none other than Myra, and she had her head lowered as she drew.
If the current atmosphere was not solemn, Sasha would have snorted coldly. I wonder who the photographer is? This person had obviously put a lot of effort into taking this picture! After all, Myra looked so beautiful that made others want to drop everything and just look at her. In the picture, there was a drawing paper in front of Myra that was already fully drawn.
Looking at Sasha’s questioning gaze, Tony enlarged the drawing paper and revealed that it was the drawing that was submitted by the Hay Group yesterday. Even though it was not that clear, the outline could be clearly seen.
“H-How is this possible?” Sasha exclaimed. Right after that, she quickly closed her mouth after realizing her faux pas.
Looking at the shocked expression of the two people in front of him, Tony curved his lips into a cold smile. “Miss Hay, the time when this picture was taken is marked at the bottom of the picture. If you are worried that this picture is edited, you can make a copy and take it back to examine it.” With arms crossed in front of his chest, Tony looked at Sasha coldly. “Do you still need me to tell you the result?”
In an instant, different emotions flitted across Sasha’s face. She glared at the picture before looking back at Myra, who kept mum as soon as she saw the picture.
Sasha did not expect anyone to take a picture of Myra that would become the evidence to her accusation. The words that she had just said to Myra and Tony had backfired, and her face blushed red as she felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
“Director Hart, Myra, I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding here.” Sasha’s fingernails almost dug into her palm and the expression on her face took a drastic turn. After a while, she finally settled on a solemn expression. “After we came back from the construction site of the Sunny Bay Project, our designer, Miss Torres, said that she was going to focus on drawing. Honestly, I only knew about her design on the very last day, so I had no idea that she stole Myra’s drawing. But don’t worry, Director Hart and Myra. The Hay Group will never stand for such actions. After finding out the truth, I will definitely provide you with a proper explanation, Myra.”
The gentle expression on her face just now had become serious and earnest. From her words, she did not dig a grave for herself. At this moment, she suddenly turned around to look at Tony seriously. “Director Hart, I would like to discuss this matter with you in private. Is that alright?”
In just a few sentences, she had pushed the responsibility from herself entirely. Myra knew that this was perfectly normal in their profession, as the scapegoat had always been powerless employees. She knew that she could not make any decisions at this moment, so she merely looked at Tony, who nodded at her. Then, she left the office. Since everything had reached this point, she believed that he was a man of his word. Hence, she was not worried about the rest of the incident anymore.
To her, the most important thing was to have her name cleared. As for the discussion between the both of them, she assumed that Sasha planned to make a deal with Tony in order to save the Hay Group.
Myra did not forget what happened to the Reid Group after they were involved in plagiarism. Of course, Sasha did not forget about it as well. Losing a business partner like the Hart Group was a huge blow to the Hay Group.
Sasha’s heart pumped wildly when she saw that the office only consisted of Tony and herself. She felt annoyed that her perfect plan had such a sudden change midway, and she was not willing to let the Chase Group take charge of the project. Not only that, it was now the Hay Group that was involved in plagiarism.
Actually, it all depended on Tony’s intentions whether which side was at fault. If he wanted to help them, the Hay Group would walk away from it unscathed. If only I can seduce him and make him change his mind…
Looking at the man she had taken a liking to sitting in front of her, she walked to him and suddenly took off her cardigan, revealing her sensual figure.
