Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Myra found herself breathing heavily; her debating skills were nothing in comparison to the man who stood before her eyes. “Even if I do like you a little bit, it still wouldn’t be enough. Whatever feelings you have for me aren’t enough, and it’s not enough to make me want to be your woman!” She couldn’t stop herself from barking at the man in front of her.

“Not enough?” Tony pulled her closer toward his chest and forced her to stare into his eyes right then. “Did you think I only had three companies to choose from for the Sunny Bay Project? I only wanted to reduce the stress and pressure placed on you; why else would I have put in so much effort just to reject all of the designers who were better than you?

When you were bullied by Elsie, why didn’t I just allow her to be the representative for communications between Chase Group and Hart Group? Why do you think I asked for you and cleared up all the false accusations made about you? Couldn’t you tell what Sasha was trying to do with me?

If I was just joking or fooling around with you, don’t you think I could have chosen someone a little more fun? Why would I choose someone as unwilling as you? I’ve brought you along to meet my friends a few times now; what did you think that was for? Did you think that it was to help you expand your business contacts? Whenever Sean hurt you, I’d always show up by your side. Did you think all of those times were mere coincidences? Myra, if I wasn’t worried about you; if I wasn’t afraid that something might happen to you, why would I always rush over to you even when I know that you’d only throw me a bunch of hurtful words before chasing me out of your life again?!”

With every sentence he said, Tony tightened his grip on Myra. His lips curled into a smirk when he saw the confused look in her eyes. Once he finished his words, he gave her a long, deep kiss. He pulled her body close toward his without leaving any gaps between their skin.

“I want you to be my woman. Sean doesn’t know how to treasure you; let me do it instead.” Tony’s voice was tender and loving as he whispered these words into her ear.

right then. It’s all happening during the wrong time; the wrong place; the wrong man; and the wrong feelings… It’s true that I couldn’t stop my heart from pounding furiously when I first heard Tony’s alluring words, but… The very next moment, Myra abruptly turned on the two taps beside them. As water gushed out of the taps, she reached a hand out to block the flow of the water. The water immediately splashed all over the place as if a child had just played with

She quickly took a few steps back to increase the distance between her and Tony before she spoke to him in a calm voice. “I understand what you mean, Director Hart. I’m sorry; I didn’t realize how much you’ve done for me all along. But in the future… You don’t have to waste your effort on me any longer, Director Hart.” Myra suppressed all of the feelings that made her heart squirm and writhe right then. I really shouldn’t get myself tangled up with this man. Yet, his actions are too warm sometimes; it gets me caught up in a daze and it makes me

goodbye to the rest of them.” Myra turned around and headed toward the exit of Zion Club once she finished her words. Fortunately, she had brought her handbag along and placed it on the basin earlier. She felt an inexplicable ache in her chest right then, but she didn’t dare to further contemplate the reason behind it. Instead, she strode off with hurried footsteps

However, the moment he finished his sentence, he was met with Tony’s sharp and icy glare. With Tony’s gaze so cold, Elliot felt like it nearly froze him up! The younger man

Just his family members themselves would be an issue—they’d never allow him to be with a girl like her. If things are going to turn into an endless series of struggles, then there’s no reason for me to get myself involved with this at all. I should really just stay away from Tony. Myra lifted her head and allowed the water to splash onto her face, as if
