Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

“Thank you, Mr. Clark.” Eve heaved a sigh of relief while packing up the soup that she brought with her, ready to go back home. Before leaving, she smiled at him gently. “Do come visit me sometimes.”

“Definitely.” Leo nodded with a subtle smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Chase.”

“It’s nothing. In fact, I should be the one thanking you!” Now that Eve was satisfied, she chuckled when she saw the thermal lunch box he held. “I didn’t know you cook for yourself. You’re a fine young man.”

However, Leo merely shook his head, his response seemingly indicative of something else. “I didn’t make this. Somebody else did, and she was the one who delivered this to the office. I am merely handing this to the designated recipient.”

“Oh, then it must be someone’s wife who delivered this. He’s a lucky man.” Eve could smell the rich aroma of the soup despite the relatively short time they spent conversing with each other.

On the other hand, Leo wore a knowing smile while replying, “Yeah. He sure is a lucky man.”

After a few more exchanges, Eve left. It wasn’t until she was gone that Leo entered Tony’s office with the soup that Myra made for his boss. Tony could observe Leo and Eve’s conversation from the TV screen in his office. When Leo came in, he arched his brow before giving praise. “Good job.”

It was rare for Tony to compliment him, so he was smiling when he handed the soup to Tony. At the same, he didn’t forget to flatter Tony either. “This is the soup that Miss Stark wanted me to pass to you. Mrs. Chase was saying that you’re lucky to have Miss Stark as your wife!”
