From now onward, Mr. Smith needed to be careful with his words.
This is a man who can send shockwaves across Bradfort City with just the stomp of his foot. The worth of the Hart Family’s heir has always been a mystery, but the companies who are able to collaborate with them won’t be treated badly here. Even though the Parker Group is a bigshot in the city, they are still incomparable to the Hart Group. I know the upper management of the Parker Group has always wanted to collaborate with them. However, none of these are the main points. The main point here is that Director Hart’s wife is now in this room! But no one has ever heard that this man is married!
Tony calmly quirked up the corners of his thin lips as his expression became much more relaxed. He nodded his head flatly before walking toward a corner of the room straight away.
Among the people in the private room, Tilly was the most excited person.
The moment she saw him coming in, she knew that they would be successful in obtaining this project. In her heart, she was already quietly celebrating their victory.
Soon after, Tony stood still in front of a person in the room. Then, he slowly lowered his head and landed a kiss on the woman’s forehead right in front of everyone else. “I thought that you were done with the meeting. It has been 2 hours, so I came here to say hello first. I have another meeting this evening, so I can’t accompany you.”
When he faced the woman, his expression relaxed a lot and one could say that he looked extremely gentle.
Everyone in the room, especially Mr. Smith, were in shock as they stared at the woman in front of Tony—the little girl from the Stark Group whom they thought was inexperienced.
I can’t believe that she is Director Hart’s wife. Everyone knows that she has just divorced Director Chase from the Chase Group, but no one expected her to get together with Director Hart this quickly. Does that mean the previous rumors were true?
No matter what, Mr. Smith’s back was already drenched in sweat.
Luckily, we weren’t too unreasonable toward Miss Stark earlier; otherwise, we would be dead by now.
Meanwhile, Myra was also surprised that Tony came to see her. Seeing that he kissed her openly in front of everyone, she more or less knew why he came. As her face flushed slightly, she secretly looked around the room before whispering, “Don’t worry. I have other business to attend to this evening too. I’m not done discussing the project with the Parker Group yet. I may need to talk to Mr. Smith for a while.”
Tony seemed to look a little surprised as he turned toward Mr. Smith and asked flatly, “You won’t mind if I join in, right?”
Drops of cold sweat were starting to appear on Mr. Smith’s face. “Of course I don’t, Director Hart. We can’t wait for you to join us!”
With that, he personally arranged for a seat next to Myra before Tony immediately sat on it.
Then, the later part of the negotiation went on extremely smoothly.
At first, the Parker Group tightly held onto their benefits, but now, as long as she gave them a little benefit, Mr. Smith would immediately agree to it.
Inside the room, everyone was also much more respectful toward her.
Upon seeing the change in Mr. Smith’s attitude, she held tightly onto Tony’s hand under the table.
How could I stupidly doubt the man in front of me just because of Sasha’s few words? If a man has ulterior motives for treating me well, isn’t it better to accept it right away? Myra wasn’t the kind of person who was always doubtful of others. Unless she saw Tony betray her with her bare eyes, she would never give up on the man in front of her.
“You look really handsome today in this shirt!” Thinking about what Henry said, she murmured next to him.
Then, she could feel the man tightening his hand around hers, which put a smile on her face.
As soon as the lunch was finished, Mr. Smith indirectly expressed the Parker Group’s desire to collaborate with the Hart Group in the future. On the other hand, Tony didn’t reject his offer; he only said that he hoped the two companies would have a happy collaboration in the future.
However, in Mr. Smith’s eyes, this meant that the relationship between him and the Hart Group was a little closer now, which was a huge honor to him. Therefore, when he left, his face was full of joy as he continuously praised the design that Myra brought today.
Tilly waited until the people from the Parker Group left before she consciously took the representatives from the Stark Group with her, giving Tony and Myra some space to be alone.
On the way from the private room to the lobby, Myra couldn’t stop smiling. Then, she suddenly said, “When I went to the washroom earlier, I met Sasha. Do you still remember the Hay Group?”
Tony raised his brows. “You mean that time when someone was framed for plagiarism, she came to me crying for help while also pledging to marry me?”
“Who came to you crying for help while pledging to marry you?” Myra didn’t know whether to cry or laugh as she stared at the playful man next to her. “You were clearly the one who wanted me to marry you. I know that you already had your eyes on me at that time. How dare you push such an embarrassing thing onto me.”
When there were a bunch of people sitting inside the private room, the atmosphere was a little warm, so her face was partially reddened while her eyes were still crystal clear. As she stared at him with her distinctive eyes, Tony felt as though a feather had just gently caressed his heart, instantly softening it. “Fine, I already had my eyes on you at that time. I’m the embarrassing one, alright?” he chuckled.
Then, he grabbed her waist and lowered his head to seal her lips. After a moment of being gentle, he released her and asked, “Why did you mention that woman?”
Myra pushed him away slightly. “I heard that the Hay Group has offended someone recently, causing the company to lose a few big orders. Not only that, the person also exposed the company’s many loopholes, which caused the bank to suspend their loans. Are you the one who did this?”
Tony’s hand grabbed hers before he pinched her waist. “Did she trouble you?”
“Not quite.” As for the video, it was already in the past and she didn’t want to delve deep into anything that had to do with Sean, so she shook her head. “You don’t need to do this for me.”
“You don’t need to be ashamed of it. How do you even know that I did this for you?” Tony suddenly teased her by chuckling.
As Myra’s face started to burn, she simply pushed the hand on her waist away and pretended to walk ahead. “Since you didn’t do this for me, then suit yourself. I’m fine with it.”
After seeing her throwing a little tantrum, Tony chuckled before walking forward to pull the woman right into his arms again. The smile on his thin lips was obvious as he stared at her with his dark eyes. “I know what I’m doing with the Hay Group. I’m just teaching her a lesson.”
However, he didn’t expect the Hay Group to be incompetent. Ever since their loopholes were exposed, they weren’t able to recover for a long time.
As she smiled discreetly, she lifted her head and tried to say something to him, but suddenly, she was interrupted by the haggard voice of a woman just when she was about to speak…
“Director Hart, I want to have a word with you.”
For a moment, Myra was dumbfounded because not only was the voice not a stranger to her, it was very familiar to her. Soon, she furrowed her brows as she turned to meet the exhausted woman—Lyla.
Myra and Tony had already arrived at the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, but at some point, Lyla had walked ahead to the front of them. At that moment, she was in a horrible condition. Not only did she have bloodshot eyes, her clothes were covered with wrinkles and even her usually beautiful hairstyle was in a state of mess. She looked more like a woman who had just come out of the house after a sleepless night.
