Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 33

Myra was slightly surprised when she accepted the sandals from Tony. However, she recalled watching

a video of his interview and she suddenly remembered that the young and talented Tony had a woman

whom he was in love with. Hence, she felt relieved instantly. A man like him doesn’t seem like a casual

and fickle-minded man. In the end, she lowered her guard and rode the elevator with him.

“Meow, down! Good girl. Let me reward you with a grape.” They heard a lazy voice speaking the

moment the elevator arrived at Tony’s floor.

The elevator doors gradually opened and they caught sight of a man and a dog.

A man, who was dressed in a floral shirt, was not too far away from the elevator. He was fooling around

with a large white Samoyed. The man’s eyes glinted in delight when he saw the two of them in the

elevator before he instructed his dog to run toward the elevator. “Meow, your master is finally back.

Quick, come over here. I’ll take you to him.”

In the blink of an eye, both the man and dog came to a halt in front of Myra and Tony.

Similarly, the man looked handsome, but compared to Tony, he had an air of unruliness toward him. He

obviously looked like a hippy from a rich family living in defiance of conventions. However, Myra was

not paying attention to the man; instead, she was focused… on the dog.

The Samoyed was large and fat with clean fur. The man led it in front of Tony and it lifted its front paws

to lean against its owner. Its tongue was wagging in excitement and it seemed as though it would lick

Tony’s face in a friendly way!

However, Tony swiftly glanced at it with an icy stare, causing the dog’s expression to freeze. It lowered

its head immediately and its front paws landed on the ground with a swoosh too.

It appeared as if it was afraid of the man standing in front of it.

Myra could not help but burst into a fit of giggles as she stared at the intelligent dog.

The man, who was originally preoccupied in consoling the dog, turned abruptly to glare at Myra. “Which

floor’s secretary are you? How dare you laugh at the Harts’ princess! Just you wait. Director Hart will

ask you to pack up and leave!”

She felt embarrassed and she stopped laughing after he reprimanded her. Before she could answer the

man, Tony squinted at him coldly. “Didn’t Old Madam Samson mention that she likes the dog and that

she wants to have it for a longer time?”

Elliot felt his skin crawl at the mention of ‘Old Madam Samson’ and he no longer had the courage to

say anything to Myra. But… He turned with a loud whoosh suddenly while staring at Myra, who still

appeared embarrassed, and his eyes widened!

“She… Tony… She… She…” Elliot acted as though he had seen a ghost, but his expression turned

swiftly into one of excitement! He slapped his thigh animatedly while looking at Tony. “Tony, isn’t she—”

“Her name is Myra Stark and she is the designer from the Design Department in Chase Group.” Tony

calmly interrupted while shooting Elliot with a warning look. “She might also be the representative who’ll

be working together with the Hart Group.”

Myra Stark?! Elliot turned his head like a robot while he looked at the Samoyed dog beside

him. Meow… Meow; Myra… Myra Stark…

Countless words flashed through his mind at that point. I can’t even use words to describe how excited

I feel! I can’t believe I am staring at the woman Tony is in love with! No wonder he used a name for a

cat when he adopted Meow despite the fact that it was a dog. I see this is the reason!

Myra was feeling even more embarrassed while she observed Elliot’s distorted expression. She

reached out to politely greet him. “Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you, indeed!” Elliot responded in kind. He quickly released the

Samoyed and he wiped his hands on his yellow sportswear a few times before extending a fair hand to

shake Myra’s. “My name is Elliot Samson. Elliot with a ‘T’ and Samson, just like the saint. Sis… I mean,

Miss Stark, feel free to address me by my name.”

He almost blurted out the term ‘sister-in-law’, but he saw Tony staring daggers at him from the corner of

his eyes. In the end, Elliot corrected himself just in time while grinning from ear-to-ear.

Myra nodded in response.

Tony frowned when he saw them shake hands, but he asked lightly, “What is it?”

Naturally, Elliot knew what Tony meant, so he withdrew his hand, as though he was stung by a bee. He

regarded Tony with a flattering look before pointing at the Samoyed dog. “Well, Meow is missing you

and I have brought him over to visit you.”

At that moment, the large dog, which looked as if it missed Tony even more by the second, started to

run around Myra in excitement. She could not stand the temptation of adorable pets, such as dogs, and

she squatted down to play with it.

Both Myra and the dog seemed to be enjoying themselves.

The corner of Elliot’s lips twitched involuntarily. It is such a disloyal, big, fat dog when it sees a woman!

It doesn’t even reserve any dignity for me.

On the other hand, some kind of emotion seemed to be flashing through Tony’s eyes when he

observed Myra and the dog.

Myra turned to look at Tony and Elliot with a smile. “Is it called Meow?” I think I heard Elliot calling the

dog Meow.

Elliot nodded meaningfully at her. “Tony named it himself.”

Myra did not understand the hidden meaning in his words, but she smiled at him anyway. “The name is

just like the dog—they are both so cute.”

He burst into a loud and exaggerated fit of laughter. She glanced at the two men in confusion. Although

she did not ask anything, her gaze reflected her awkwardness.

Even Tony’s lips seemed to curl slightly into a faint smile. He walked past the two of them and the dog

to march forward. “Let’s go. We still have business to discuss.”

The part where Myra did not participate in the meeting was easily resolved—Tony merely summoned a

few employees from the front desk at Hart Group to prove that Myra had indeed shown up at the Hart

Group. However, Elsie sent her away after that.

It was not until then when reality struck Myra. When we were outside just now, Tony seemed almost

hasty in believing what I said. I was just asking him casually, but he answered me honestly… What if I

had been lying to him earlier?

Nevertheless, she felt relieved after Tony claimed that he would reconsider the collaboration with

Chase Group. She even thanked him politely before leaving.

Elliot saw Tony with his eyes closed when he led Meow into the office. Tony was resting his forehead

on a hand and he was drumming his fingers against the table. He seemed to be deep in thought.

Elliot chuckled mischievously while approaching Tony. He commented slyly, “It turns out she is the

woman whom you have a crush on, Tony… Myra, Myra. Her name is beautiful.. I have asked Lucas to

find out more about her!”

The last part was the main point.

Tony abruptly opened his eyes and Elliot was shocked when he saw that. However, Tony stared at the Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

dog whom Elliot brought over while countless options weighed on his mind.

Myra was polite to me earlier. Based on what happened this time, if I had been ruthless enough, she

would have been kicked far away from Sean’s side. However, if I had done that, she would most

probably never see me again. In the end, my heart got the better of me.

Meow wagged its tongue while rushing to Tony’s front after realizing its master was finally paying

attention to it. Its front paws rested on Tony’s knees. This time, Tony did not treat Meow coldly, which

was a rare sight. On the contrary, he patted its head gently and Elliot stared at him in disbelief.

“Tony, are you… taking Meow back to look after it yourself?” I wouldn’t have asked that no matter what

happened, if I knew the associated consequences. Meow might be Tony’s, but since he doesn’t like

pets, nobody in the Hart Family had the courage to take Meow in. On the other hand,

my grandma loves this dog. That is why she took it in and looked after it on his behalf. Over time,

Grandma slowly developed a deep bond with Meow. Besides, I secretly sneaked the dog out today. If I

were to return home empty-handed today…
