Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

“This is what you get for plagiarizing the Hay Group’s design! Speaking of which, didn’t you draw a portrait for Director Hart? Why didn’t he speak up for you in front of the Hay Group?” Elsie sneered, buzzing with the anticipation of throwing Myra out of the Chase Group.

Myra, however, merely smirked in response. With a cold gleam in her eyes, she marched straight into Mr. Xavier’s office.

“Trouble-seeking w*nch!” Elsie cursed aloud, her eyes flashing wickedly. She stood outside the door, waiting to see what Myra was getting up to.

It wasn’t long after Myra went in when the door to Mr. Xavier’s office opened again.

This time, it was Mr. Xavier himself who stood in the doorway. Fury belied his thunderous face. He had thrown open the door in a fit of rage and everyone in the design department jumped as the door swung back and forth on its hinges, banging loudly against the wall.

A pleased look passed over Elsie’s face. With the way things were going, Myra might end up leaving Bradfort City altogether!

However, just as Elsie was indulging in the thought of never having to see Myra again, Mr. Xavier marched up to her. Surprised, she wondered if the design director would let her take over Myra’s job so she quickly stepped forward.

He came up before her, suppressing the rage that he’d been feeling since hearing the voice recording, and said coldly, “Miss Foster, please come with me to Director Chase’s office immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Elsie nodded hastily and traipsed after him. As she did so, she did not forget to throw a triumphant glance over her shoulder at Myra, who had already emerged from Mr. Xavier’s office.

Meanwhile, Tilly sauntered over with a frown etched onto her face. “Myra…”

Myra turned to address her with a placid smile. “Don’t worry; Director Hart found out that Lily from the Hay Group was the one who plagiarized my design.” Now that she had seen how Elsie was treated, she deduced that the Hay Group had sold Elsie out in order to save themselves and receive a lighter punishment.
