“Please have some respect for yourself, Miss Walton. You claim to be his fiancée without the Hart Family’s permission and even widely publicize it. Don’t you think that is inappropriate? Or do you not take the Hart Family seriously? It’s no wonder you barged into the Stark Group like a mad dog and attacked people.” Myra looked to the security guards at the side with an even colder gaze. “Looks like security is going to have to hire some new people now. A person can become incompetent when they’ve been in the same place for too long. Don’t you think so, President Stark?” She turned to look at Cameron who had a strange look on his face ever since Sean showed up.
Cameron narrowed his eyes. Before security took action, he said with a stiff smile, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Miss Walton is young and impetuous. She can be a bit rash with her words. Myra, why would you bother with her? Oh, Miss Walton, didn’t you come to see Krissy? Her office is downstairs in the Project Department. I’ll have my assistant take you there right away.”
He was obviously trying to resolve the dispute to prevent any further trouble.
Gemma was glaring at Myra and Sean. Not too long ago, she still had the upper hand, but Myra’s ex-husband, Sean, showed up out of nowhere. Not only did he not help her, but he even sided with Myra to go against her.
Clenching her fists tightly, Gemma wanted to say more, but Cameron stepped in her line of vision. He did not mind using Gemma to ruin Myra’s reputation but not on the basis that he got dragged down as well. Even if Gemma did not have second thoughts, he did. He did not know why Sean was helping Myra all of a sudden, but it was clear that now was not the time to keep arguing. They were at the Stark Group, and he was the president of the company.
“Myra, I still need you to make some adjustments to that plan from before. Once you’re done, bring the copy up to me so I can have a look.” Cameron cast an inadvertent glance at Gemma to send her a warning before looking at Myra casually. After that, he turned to Sean and said, “Director Chase, we didn’t get to finish our discussion last time. Please come this way. Let’s continue.”
Sean turned around to look at Myra, but she walked into the elevator ahead with Tilly without looking at him.
Seeing that his eyes were still fixed on Myra, Gemma let out a cynical smile. “I wondered why you kept defending Myra. You must have some feelings left for her, don’t you? Does your current wife know about what you’re doing?”
The people in the elevator heard Gemma. There were quite a number of people inside, but they all acted as if they did not hear anything. Very quickly, the elevator doors closed.
After watching the elevator doors close slowly, Sean’s face turned cold. He cast a side glance at Gemma and retorted, “Having leftover feelings is still better than imagining things.”
Her expression changed immediately, but he had already turned around and was walking toward Cameron’s office.
“How dare you, Sean?” She looked exasperated. Originally, she was trying to make fun of Myra, but she got made into a joke instead. Letting out a heavy scoff, she walked toward the corridor in her heels with a darkened expression on her face.
Upstairs, Cameron went back to smiling in a steady and reserved manner at Sean. “Director Chase, you’ve been divorced from Myra for quite some time now. I was actually afraid that there might be some animosity between you two, but this is a sigh of relief to me.”
Thinking about Myra’s attitude toward him a moment ago, Sean still looked rather dejected. He did not bother much with Cameron’s remark either. After all, he had not forgotten the way this man treated Myra earlier.
“President Stark, let’s get straight down to business.” He had a blank expression.
Cameron was taken aback and was slightly offended, but he still smiled brightly. “Sure.”
…
After entering the elevator, the atmosphere inside felt extremely awkward. Nevertheless, it quickly arrived at her floor where she and Tilly both got out.
As soon as the elevator doors closed behind them, Tilly’s expression sank. “Miss Myra, who was that woman? She was so aggressive! She claims to be Director Hart’s fiancée, but Director Hart never mentioned her even once!”
At the thought of Gemma, Myra’s brows also pulled together. “She’s the Young Lady of the Walton Family. The Waltons are going to return soon to work in Bradfort City. Her brother and Tony founded the Hartwell Group together.”
“Oh, it’s that Walton Family!” Tilly exclaimed.
“Do you know them, Tilly?” Myra asked.
She shook her head. “I only heard about them from Elliott recently. It didn’t seem like his impression of the Waltons was that good either.”
Whenever he speaks about the Walton Family, his tone is always full of scorn. Tilly let out a sigh. In that case, everything Gemma Walton said earlier was pure nonsense.
When Myra noticed Tilly mention Elliot, she turned around skeptically. “Are you close to Elliot these days?”
Tilly’s face immediately turned bright red. She wanted to wave her hands, but she couldn’t say anything to refute and only felt embarrassed for a while. Myra turned back around with a smile. “It’s not a bad thing to be close. I think Elliot is quite a decent person.” Minus the times when he becomes too self-centered.
Tilly was also at the age where she should be dating. If she and Elliot really got into a relationship, Myra would certainly be happy for them.
Noticing that Myra had sensed something, Tilly quickly turned red then followed after her. Keeping her head down, she murmured, “We’re still not in the kind of relationship you’re thinking of, Miss Stark.”
Once Myra entered her office and sat down at her desk, she looked up at Tilly in front of her. Tilly was blushing, and her eyes were glistening. She looked exactly like a girl who was in love. I don’t know how Elliot feels about her, but she has definitely fallen for him.
After a brief pause, Myra suddenly remembered the time when Elliot also stood in front of her and asked about Tilly. She chuckled. “Get to know him more then, and see if you’re compatible with each other.”
Tilly nodded while blushing.
Myra waited for her to leave before taking a look at her phone. At a glance, she realized that she had several missed calls.
During the meeting, she had put her phone on silent, so she did not notice the calls.
When she saw the name of the caller, she smiled without realizing and felt the frustration, from being provoked by Gemma earlier, subside. “Why did you call me so many times? I came out of the conference room not too long ago, so I didn’t see your calls.”
“Okay.” Tony was already in his sports car heading toward Stark Group. “Was Gemma at your company?” His low and deep voice was transmitted wirelessly into her ears and lifted her mood as if it carried some sort of magic with it. At the moment, however, she was not seeing the stone-cold look on his face. The temperature surrounding him had seemingly fallen below freezing and warded off people from getting close to him.
“Yes, she made a scene here for a while, but that was it. I didn’t take her seriously.” The video did make Myra feel uneasy, but she knew that Gemma only liked to stir trouble.
“Is she gone now?”
“Not yet.” Myra pondered for a moment and decided that she should reveal Gemma’s relationship with Cameron and Kris now. “Tony, if I’m not wrong, Kris is currently dating Gideon. She’s also on good terms with Gemma at the moment. Gemma came to the company today on the pretense of seeing her.”
“Do you need me to go over?” Even though he asked, he was already on his way there.
She shook her head. “You don’t have to come. I can deal with it. You’re busy enough. How can I let you worry about this tiny matter too?”
“I didn’t know my wife was so considerate.”
