She’s having fever

Myra snuggled closer into the embrace and found another comfortable position. Finally, she sank into a deep sleep again.Philip was witnessing the scene in front of him—the man among their group of friends who was most uninterested in women was now hugging a woman gently.If he did not see this with his own eyes, he would have thought he had entered another fantasy.“Tony, I’m going to give an injection to this lady.”Philip gulped and waved the injection syringe that was filled with medicine in front of him. However, Tony’s face darkened immediately.“She’s having a fever. This is the quickest way to let her fever go down.”Philip did not dare to wave the syringe around anymore. He merely touched his nose as he explained it to Tony innocently.I’m just giving her an injection! I’m not going to hurt her!Seeing the way he hugs her preciously, it seems as though he will kill me off if I dare to hurt the woman in his arms.Tony gently pulled Myra slightly further from his arms and nodde

Let’s discuss on the road

Seeing the vegetables in her plate, Myra was speechless and she felt stumped. He was the one who asked me to stay because he has some comments on the design draft. Nevertheless, she knew very well that she could not afford to offend the important customer in front of her.It was a rather quiet breakfast but she felt that something was off. Sitting right opposite to her was Tony, who ate his food as if he was at a fine dining restaurant even though it was a perfectly average breakfast at home.Myra could not help recalling the interview last morning. A man like him is the best among those who are already top of the class.After the breakfast, when Myra saw that Tony was wiping his mouth elegantly, she planned to continue their conversation on the Sunny Bay Project. However, he got up and walked upstairs after leaving a sentence. “I’ll send you home later and we can discuss it on the road.”Myra was stunned upon hearing that. She planned to reject his offer and told him that she would j

I know you would see this

As soon as she opened the door of the mansion, Greta’s voice rang out.“You are finally back, Young Mistress Myra! When Madam called you last night, your phone was switched off. Mr. Chase looked for you for the entire night and he just returned to his study not long ago. They were so worried for you! Madam only went upstairs to sleep at three in the morning.”Myra felt slightly guilty upon hearing that. “Last night, I… stayed at my friend’s place and my phone ran out of battery, so I didn’t get their calls.”Of course, I can’t let them know that I stayed the night at Tony’s place.Greta nodded as she handed a thin blanket to Myra and winked at her as she hinted, “I saw Mr. Chase asleep in the study just now. I found a blanket for him so that he won’t catch a cold. Now that you are back, you can hand it to him, Young Mistress Myra.”Holding the blanket in her hands, Myra stood frozen to the spot.She knew that Greta meant well. In this house, both Greta and Eve always tried to make Sea

Secure a project if you can

The color drained from Myra’s face.“Myra, I have never been interested in you. Do you want to know why?” Sean cackled cruelly, as though he was relishing the moment. “You are a contentious woman and it turns men off. Even if I am burning with desire, just looking at you would dampen my mood!” Then, he picked up his suit jacket and phone, leaving her without another backward glance.In the study, Myra stared at the abandoned thin blanket on the couch unblinkingly, her gaze eerily empty.“Miss Stark, Miss Hay from the Hay Group is here to see you.” Myra received a phone call from the receptionist the moment she arrived at the company in the afternoon.She was feeling slightly tired at that point. “Pass her the phone.”There was a rustling noise and a sweet and crisp voice spoke over the line. “Myra, it’s Sasha. I’m at the ground floor of your company.”“How can I help you?” Myra wasn’t too friendly because she wasn’t close with anybody from the Hays, apart from her mother-in-law.Sasha

What a coincidence

“How dare you?” Elsie was livid.It was a huge blow to me when Sean brought up the news of breaking up with me that night. Initially, I wanted to salvage the relationship in the morning, but he warned me that I would have to leave the Chase Group if I do not behave myself. I do not want to leave the Chase Group at all. I still have a chance if I stay here but everything will be ruined if I leave. Furthermore, the woman who is standing in front of me is the culprit! If it weren’t for her, why would Sean accuse me of not making a clear distinction between work and my personal matters before breaking up with me? Elsie gritted her teeth in anger.Myra’s phone rang at that moment, so she looked away from Elsie to answer the call. It so happened that the phone call was from Logan. He sounded very polite and he spoke with Myra respectfully. “Miss Stark, may I know if you are free after three today?”Elsie commented sarcastically, “He is even phoning you now, but you have the audacity to clai

Miss stark should enter the car

Myra pressed her lips together and she finally looked at the man who was sitting at the head of the table.The sunlight that shone through the full-length windows set off his facial features and made them appear even more prominent. There was a cigarette dangling in his left hand and his necktie was loosened slightly against his stark white shirt. His long legs were crossed as he looked at the two design drafts in front of him lazily. Contrary to his usual stern expression or the illusion of his gentleness in the morning, he currently looked like a young professional, shining brightly all over.It’s no wonder women are always throwing themselves at him like hungry wolves. The man in front of me has the potential for causing trouble.“Miss Stark, do you have an opinion about me since you are staring openly at me?”Myra was distracted but Tony’s cold and distant voice jerked her back to reality.Tony tapped away the ashes from his cigarette butt as his black eyes looked directly at her.

Harmonious relationships

When everyone turned to look at her, Myra apologized and she silenced her phone. She checked her phone screen and her hand shook automatically—it was a phone call from Sean.Hence, she canceled the call without giving anything away.However, her phone started vibrating right after she canceled the call. The urgency of the phone call made it seem as if the calls would continue coming in if she refused to answer it.When Myra looked up, she happened to lock eyes with Sasha’s meaningful gaze. Sasha reassured her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, Myra. Head out to answer the call; we will wait for you and start the meal after you are back.”Myra saw Tony looking over at her from the corner of her eyes. She then stood up and excused herself apologetically, “Please excuse me; I have to go and answer this phone call but I’ll be back in a bit.”She answered the call once she left the private room. Sean’s deep and gloomy voice spoke to her from the other end of the line. “Where are you?”Myra f

Who says I’m still inlove

Two servers were chatting quietly while carrying the flowers into the hotel.The group of people walked out of the hotel without paying much attention to their surroundings. After all, they were used to seeing wealthy men from the younger generation spending frivolously for the sake of pursuing a woman.Nevertheless, Tony, who was leading the group, came to a sudden stop and he asked the two of the servers, “Who is spending so lavishly today?”These two servers had worked in the Ritz Carlton for quite some time, so naturally they recognized a man of Tony’s stature. Nevertheless, they were anxious due to his abrupt question, coupled with his frosty expression. One of them answered tentatively, “It’s Director Chase, who is the director of the Chase Group. He booked the entire first floor of the Ritz Carlton and I heard that it is to celebrate the birthday of a female model!”“What?” Elsie shrieked loudly all of a sudden.Myra felt fortunate that Elsie was present at that moment—at least

I will never forgive them

At that moment, Sean’s eyes were as cold as that of his in the photograph.Myra was stunned to silence by his violent outburst. By the time she glanced at Sean’s fist, it was already trickling with blood due to the broken glass from the photo frame.She forced herself to look away while laughing bitterly. “It is enough that I’m lying to myself and everyone else. Why would you lie to yourself? For the past two years, you have been looking for her shadow from all the women you have been with. I am sure that you have noticed that too—Eris’ lips, Elsie’s eyes… Sean, you can tell me if you do not love me. As long as you are still in love with Lyla, I can even help you find her. I—”“I told you that I no longer have feelings for that woman!” Sean cut Myra off while hissing in frustration. I wonder if he is speaking to me or to himself.His eyes were cold and distant while he regarded her, as though he would skin her alive if she were to comment further.Myra trembled involuntarily while gri

Elsie Assistant

After visiting the Hart Group, Elsie became especially serious about the Sunny Bay Project. She often worked overtime and late into the night, garnering countless praises.On the other hand, after Myra’s demotion, she became Elsie’s assistant.Myra knew that this was Sean’s way of making her life difficult while punishing her along the way. Eve was furious but Myra accepted it calmly.“Photocopy these documents for me. Rearrange the data and hand them to me when you’re done. And Myra, do you even know how to prepare a cup of coffee? Don’t you know that you should add some sugar? Please bear in mind that you are just an assistant now; stop acting like a team leader! Be quick on your feet and carry out tasks efficiently. You are always so slow. Are you planning on accepting your salary for doing nothing?”Myra accepted the folders from Elsie while tightening her grip, keeping quiet as she made her way to the photocopying machine.Tilly approached her and commented indignantly, “Miss Sta
