Myra’s voice, much like herself, gave off a quiet and gentle feeling. There was no attacking power hidden in it.
This damn woman! How is she able to control my emotions so easily? Moreover, she knows exactly how to comfort me! Still… Tony couldn’t help feeling pleased inside when he heard her saying that she had gotten jealous when that woman tried to seduce him at the elevator. Then, he reversed their roles and took the initiative to ‘attack’ instead. He kissed her deeply on the lips, acting as if he wanted to devour her whole. His actions were fierce—he had no intention of being gentle toward her.
Soon, he pulled off the vest she was wearing and threw it on the ground. The night breeze was chilly, and she shivered suddenly. All of a sudden, she remembered what she was wearing underneath her dress. She gasped in shock and grabbed the hands of the man in front of her just as he was about to rip the collar of her dress.
“Wait… Wait…” she urgently said while breathing heavily. Her face flushed as red as a beet in an instant, and even her ears burned fiercely.
She seemed like she wanted to get up from his embrace. However, he had no intention of letting her escape. Wrapping his arms around the woman’s waist tightly, his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Who was it that said I can do anything I want once we get home?”
Her face flushed even redder. She bit her lip hard but did not dare to let go of his hand. At the same time, she looked away desperately. “I just… I just remembered that I haven’t showered yet… I… I want to take a shower first…”
In her urgency to soothe his anger, she had acted recklessly on a crazy whim. However, she felt a sense of tragic despair washing over her at that moment. I need to get this off me! I need to get away from him, go back home, and change out of these clothes!
On the other hand, he simply picked her up in a princess carry and walked upstairs. He stared at her with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t shower when you went back just now.”
His gaze swept over her tied-up hair, the mockery in his eyes growing ever stronger.
Blushing to the extreme, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. Then, she quickly changed her statement. “I want to go to the bathroom.”
He walked through the living room while carrying her in his arms. When he passed by the plastic bag in front of the sofa, his eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze swept over that area, then he looked at the woman blushing furiously in his arms. After that, something seemed to flash in his eyes and mischief crept into his darkened eyes. “By going to the bathroom, do you mean the bathroom in your house?”
She turned her head away. “How did you know?’
He suddenly chuckled lightly. His laughter sounded from above her head. It was low and deep, reverberating through his chest.
At that moment, Myra felt completely powerless to resist Tony. For one, he was staring deeply into her eyes with those dark eyes of his; for another, he was chuckling softly in front of her like so. A hint of embarrassment immediately surged up in her heart—she felt as if her inner thoughts had been read by the man. Thus, she couldn’t help yelling, “What are you laughing at?!”
Tony hugged her body close and continued walking upstairs. Simultaneously, he abruptly stopped laughing and said with a straight face, “I just wanted to tell you that there are many bathrooms in my apartment too. You don’t need to go back to your apartment next door.”
Her body stiffened. Despite that, he seemed to think that it wasn’t enough and added, “I have clothes here for you too; if you really want to change, that is.”
The corners of Tony’s mouth lifted after he finished speaking. At the same time, he hugged the woman in his arms even tighter and continued walking upstairs.
Myra felt as if an explosion went off in her head when she heard those words—she was certain that the man knew. Thinking back to the missing box in the living room… a sense of shame washed over her. However, she found herself in the bedroom before she could recover from her shock. Her entire body sank into the black velvet bedsheets as soon as she touched the bed. Then, he pressed down on her.
The entire house was silent. The window was opened slightly. A breeze made the curtains billow slightly, and the swaying of the curtains allowed the moonlight to spill into the room. In the faint moonlight, Tony lowered his head to look down at the woman in his arms. Myra had fallen asleep due to exhaustion. He thought back on the excessively seductive outfit she had worn today; it had aroused him so much that he nearly hurt her in their lovemaking. Feeling a faint heartache washing over his heart, he planted a light kiss on her forehead.
He did not forget the words she had whispered in his ears just now. ‘Tony, I don’t want anybody to think that I am using you. I also have no intention of letting Rachel and the others get their hands on what belongs to my mother and me. So, I plan to return to the Stark Group. I want to obtain it through my own strength. Let me try, okay?’
He did not want to make things difficult for her, but he was annoyed that she would think like that. He also felt worried about her position in the Stark Family.
“Go ahead and try if you want to. Just turn around when you get tired; I’ll be right behind you,” Tony murmured softly as he tightened his hold and pulled Myra into his embrace. Then, the two of them gradually fell asleep next to each other.
The next day, Myra decided to head to the Stark Group. She did not allow Tony to come along with her; she only allowed him to send her as far as the bottom of the Stark Tower.
The car arrived at the Stark Group. She didn’t dare to look him in the eyes ever since she woke up this morning because of what happened last night. True to his word, he had prepared clothes for her in his apartment. In fact, he had a whole closet full of the clothes that she normally wore. The tags on the clothes were still attached to them. Moreover, all of them were in her size. Therefore, she couldn’t help thinking of the time when she was at the hotel celebrating the Chase Group officially obtaining the Sunny Bay Project. The clothes she had changed into back then were also something he had asked the serving staff to prepare. Besides, those clothes had fit her body like a glove too. This man has such sharp eyes. How did he know my size just from a single glance at the time?!
When the car came to a stop, she couldn’t wait to open the car door and get out of the car. However, the man behind her pulled her back again. Looking into those teasing eyes of his, she felt her heart pounding like crazy in her chest. She hurriedly kissed the man on the cheek and said, “Bye.”
Tony seemed unsatisfied with her perfunctory actions. Hence, he took it unto himself to hold her head in place and kissed her deeply. Once he was satisfied, he released her and pressed his forehead against her forehead. “I’ll pick you up from here in the afternoon.”
His gaze was calm and natural; it was almost as if he knew she wanted to stay at the Stark Group.
Myra thought back to the words he said to her last night. Although she said nothing, her heart softened from the love she felt in the kiss they shared. She initially wanted to tell him not to wait for her but decided not to upset him in the end. Thus, she kissed his lower jaw and murmured, “Okay.”
After Myra got out of the car, the black Maybach behind her swiftly drove away.
