Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 36

Myra nodded her head.

After that, everyone went to their room to place their luggage and wash themselves before they

gathered at the designated meeting room.

She had gained a lot of knowledge from today’s meeting.

When her work was heavily criticized last time by the Hart Group, she had a faint feeling that they were

actually venting their anger toward her design drafts, but it was still being questioned by others. That

was the reason why she recently came up with a brand new design blueprint after having a new

inspiration. The moment she returned to her hotel room, she could not wait to start redrawing her draft,

hoping that she could finish it and hand it over to the Hart Group before the end of their business trip.

After being busy for some time, she finally felt hungry, but it was already past 9:00PM.

Therefore, she went to the restaurant downstairs to order something to satiate her hunger. Just as she

was about to return to her room, Leo stopped her in her tracks. “Miss Stark, are you going back to your

room? Can you help me to bring Mr. Hart’s dinner to him? I need to return to the construction site right

away to deal with something.”

Since Myra stayed in the room next to Tony’s, she did not feel troubled at all, so she nodded her head

and took the lunch box from Leo. However, as she turned, she failed to notice the sly smile on Leo’s

lips.

When she arrived at the door of Tony’s room, she knocked on the door, but no one came to answer it.

Therefore, she knocked on the door again, but this time, she opened the door right away since it was

not locked.

“Director Hart, are you there?”

She called for Tony while entering the room, but no one answered. Just as she hesitated on whether to

leave his dinner inside and leave or return in a little while, Meow, who was playing alone, ran over to

her excitedly as soon as the dog heard her voice. Then, it bit her dress and pulled her inside.

“Meow, let me go now. I can’t go inside.”

Of course, a dog could not understand what Myra was saying.

Seeing that the big white dog was dragging her into Tony’s bedroom, she felt helpless and awkward at

the same time. Therefore, she casually placed the lunch box on the cabinet by the door and held on to

Meow’s head so that it would stop dragging her around.

“You can’t simply bring strangers into your master’s room. He’ll be angry at you!” Myra patted the dog’s

head.

Instead, Meow started to lick her hand when she tried to pat its head while its bright eyes stared at her.

Looking at it, Myra did not know whether to cry or laugh. Since I am inside his room, I’ll just take the

lunch box and place it somewhere obvious for him to see later so that he’ll know that it’s for him.

“Meow—”

The moment she picked up the lunch box, a man’s deep husky voice was suddenly heard in front of

her. When the word came out of his mouth, it appeared to lose some of its gentleness, but at the same

time, it sounded much sexier.

For some reason, she could feel a thump in her heart as she lifted her gaze and saw the bare feet of a

man wearing sandals.

Meanwhile, there were drops of water dripping from the man, showing that he just came out of the

bathroom. As her eyes followed where the water drops came from…

Instantly, her whole body froze as the lunch box in her hands fell to the floor.

“You… Director Hart… W-Why did you come out without wearing any clothes?!”

Since the two of them were at such close proximity, she felt the damp heat of the man lingering around

her, as if she could sense the masculine temperature of his body.

After a shock, Myra turned in a hurry and ignored the lunch box on the floor. As she clenched her

hands, she felt flustered.

When she looked up earlier, her eyes just happened to see Tony while he was slowly wrapping a towel

around him. Not only that, he only wrapped the back of his waist.

Immediately, her entire face flushed all the way to her neck and it reached a boiling point!

At the moment, he had already wrapped the towel around him as he lazily leaned against the door

frame.

When Myra started calling from outside, he had already heard her, but he chose to remain silent

because he did not expect her to come to visit him at that time. However, he also wanted to see

whether she would enter his room, but in the end, Meow was the one who dragged her inside.

As the big white dog happily ran to his side, the corners of his lips curved upward while he rubbed its

head. “Good job.”

The moment his deep praise reached her ears, her whole body suddenly froze. He is actually

commending Meow for doing a good job? For what? Dragging me into his room? Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

As her body trembled, she roared, “Tony, wear your clothes now!”

At the moment, she was flustered, but the man remained calm as his eyes glanced at the side of her

face, which was almost burning. Then, he teasingly raised his brows and answered, “I’m now in my

room. Why should I wear clothes?”

Instantly, Myra was rendered speechless since she could not refute Tony’s words.

As her whole body started to tense up, she immediately wanted to leave the room, but she was afraid

of running into him behind her if she backed away. At the moment, she regretted agreeing to Leo’s

request by sending dinner to the man behind her.

“As for you, Miss Stark…” Seeing that she did not dare to turn, Tony’s eyes were slowly filled with

mixed emotions as his eyes darkened. “As for you, Miss Stark, why did you suddenly run into a man’s

room late at night? Unless you have other intentions…”

“I’m helping Mr. Clark to send you dinner!” As his words became even more nonsensical, Myra quickly

interrupted him.

“Since you are here to send me dinner, why are you still standing here? Are you someone who likes to

play tricks, Miss Stark?” His casual voice seemed to have a hint of tease in it.

“You!”

Myra was so angry that her hands were now shaking. He’s framing me for helping him!

After turning, she realized that the man had already wrapped a towel around him. His legs were straight

and sinewy while his bare eight-pack abs were firm and full of strength.

A moment of shock later, she slowly relaxed. Looks like he has already covered himself.

Upon seeing her furrowing her brows, Tony revealed a faint smile. “What is it, Miss Stark? You seem to

be dissatisfied with my looks.”

Immediately, she understood the meaning behind his words, which caused her whole face to turn

bloody red. I didn’t know that Tony is thick-skinned and scoundrelous!

She gritted her teeth and wanted to flee the scene, but she accidentally tripped on the lunch box that

fell to the floor at the door earlier. Then, her entire body fell toward the man who was leaning against

the door frame.

At that moment, Myra wanted to die in shame. If I could go back in time, I would rather die of hunger in

my room than go down to eat at the restaurant.

Suddenly, she felt that her body had fallen into a firm embrace. Without any hesitation, she quickly

struggled to stand up from Tony’s arms.

The shower gel that he used on his body had a faint mint scent together with a tobacco smell. It was

clean and pure as it contained a man’s masculinity, which would involuntarily give anyone a certain

sense of security.

“Miss Stark, can I regard this as you being actively intimate with me?”

Before she could rise to her full height, a huge hand with distinct finger joints suddenly grabbed her

waist and exerted a faint force, which caused her entire body to fall into his arms again.

At that moment, Myra was breathing heavily as she did not know what was wrong with her. The more

anxious I am, the more mistakes I make. “Let me go.”

Her voice now carried a slightest hint of frustration when compared to her frustrated voice earlier.

She knew what Tony was thinking. He is now seeing me as a woman who would sacrifice her body to

seize the project. As she struggled, she growled, “Let me go—um.”

The rest of her words were all sealed by a pair of thin lips.

In the meantime, his kiss had left her head dizzy while her heart panicked since she did not know what

to do.

As Myra pressed her slightly trembling hands against Tony’s firm chest in front of her, her face

immediately flushed due to his burning chest. It then caused her hands to soften unconsciously.
