Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

This meal was probably one that Kris had spent the most thought on.

Yet, somehow, Tony’s expression was sour from the very beginning. Ever since they entered the private room, Kris’ advances had been repeatedly turned down.

“Director Hart, I heard that you love playing golf. I quite like it too. My father was the one who taught me. I wonder if we can play together soon.”

Kris tried to remain calm as she expressed her status in the Stark Family in hopes of giving herself extra credit.

When she ate, she acted even more elegant than usual.

Tony took out a cigarette and lit it before casting her a glance. “I’ve been busy lately.”

Kris’ body went slightly stiff, but she quickly recovered with a laugh. “That’s normal. Since you’re busy, we’ll talk about it again in the future when you’re free. By the way, Director Hart, how high of a chance does the Stark Group have of cooperating with the Hart Group on the Elsinore Garden Project?”

The fact that Tony came to the Stark Group to personally meet with her today showed that he intended to let them take charge of this project. Besides, he came to the office but didn’t look for anyone else—not even her father. As for his purpose… Kris was well aware that some men liked to maintain their image. If they expressed their feelings at once, it would be meaningless.

Tony inhaled deeply, then slowly exhaled white mist through his thin lips. His posture was laid-back, yet he gave off a domineering and reserved aura that filled Kris with fascination.

For a man like him, even if he didn’t have any bonus traits, his presence alone was enough to drive a number of women crazy!

Kris was about to continue talking about the Elsinore Garden Project when suddenly, Tony’s phone vibrated and he quickly retrieved it. Even though he just glanced casually at his phone, Kris sensed that his expression changed for the better. But, when he faced her again, he was still a little indifferent.

“Director Hart, actually, I really admire you.” Kris felt an inexplicable sense of alarm in her heart. Perhaps it was the womanly sixth sense in her telling her that she had to speed up her pace and not let him escape when he was just within her grasp. She let out a light cough, then displayed her most beautiful look for Tony. Lifting her fingers, she tucked her hair behind her ears. “I—”

“Miss Stark, you look quite like your sister.” Just as Kris was about to speak, Tony interrupted her.

He stubbed out the cigarette but showed no intention of picking up his cutlery.
