Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 178

In the afternoon, Cameron gave Myra a new mission: she had to acquire the Chesapeake Bay Bridge

Project that the Bradfort City’s government had recently called for tender. The Stark Group had

attached great importance to the project, considering it as important as the Elsinore Garden Project for

the second half of the year. When Myra got her hands on the project, the company was stunned, and

they appreciated her effort.

At night, before Tony called her, Myra had taken the initiative to give him a call, telling him that she had

to work overtime tonight, so she might be going home late.

By the time Tony received the call, he had already driven his car to the entrance of the Stark Tower.

Leaning against his car, he smoked nonchalantly. He was dressed in a suit with the buttons on his

chest undone, exposing the white shirt underneath his suit jacket. His outfit added a touch of sass to

his originally serious aura. The waves of smoke brought out the beauty of his handsome facial features.

It was the rush hour, and his appearance drew the attention of many Stark Group employees.

When Kris went to the first floor, some of the employees from the same department grinned at her

meaningfully. “Miss Kris, Director Hart came to pick you up in person. Is something good happening

soon?”

Another employee quickly added, “Of course. Besides Miss Kris, who else is worthy of a man like

Director Hart?”

That remark pleased Kris profoundly. For the first time, she stood in front of them with a pleasant smile.

“Nonsense. We have no plans yet!”

When they heard her, the smiles on their faces grew more ambiguous. “Then, you have to come up

with a definite plan quickly, Miss Kris! If you don’t act faster and keep a man like him with you, he might

run away. Miss Kris, you should take the initiative. Men nowadays love women who are bold and open-

minded, let alone a man like Director Hart who has spent most some years in the States.”

Their words hit Kris hard. Remembering Myra’s bold behavior toward Tony during the afternoon, she

narrowed her eyes and said, “You guys should go first. I have something else to do.”

There was a touch of shyness on her face, so the others quickly left, knowing what she was about to

do.

However, Kris didn’t go to Tony. Instead, she made her way to the underground car park and left in her

red sports car. She was already some distance away from Tony’s car. Deep in her heart, she knew very

well that Myra couldn’t stay with Tony tonight.

When Tony heard Myra’s words, he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. He didn’t mention to her that

he was already outside the company. Jamming one of his hands into his pocket, he looked up slightly, Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

staring at the floor Myra was at. “What time are you leaving tonight, then?”

Myra looked at the pile of documents in front of her. “I’m not sure yet. Probably around ten or eleven.”

Because the bid was shifted to an earlier date, Myra panicked since she just got the documents.

Tony hummed in response and said, “I’ll come pick you up later.”

His voice was so low and flat. Nevertheless, Myra managed to pick up the softness in his voice. Her

lips curved slightly. “You don’t have to come later. It’s going to be late. I’ll drive myself back.” She knew

Tony was very busy with work, so she didn’t want to see him running around.

Nevertheless, Tony always meant what he said. “Call me in advance.”

Listening to his determination, Myra felt helpless but happy at the same time. “Fine.” She nodded.

They talked for a while before ending the call.

Tony got into his car after the call ended. Thinking for a while, he gave Elliot a call and drove straight to

the Zion Club after finding out his whereabouts.

A red sports car was following him from behind.

When Tony noticed the flash of red from the rear-view mirror, he remained unconcerned and took out

another cigarette.

By the time Tony arrived at the Zion Club, the others were already partying there. When they saw him

coming in, some of them, especially Elliot, rushed toward him dramatically and approached him. “Tony,

are you lonely and came to us because Myra couldn’t make time for you?”

Tony lifted one of the corners of his mouth into a vague smile. Holding the cigarette between his thin

lips, he glared at Elliot. “I’m feeling lucky lately, so I decided to come and earn some money for baby

formula.”

“Money for baby formula?” Elliot’s voice pitched higher as he stared at Tony in shock. “Tony, you and

Myra… Are you guys ready to have a child?”

“Why are you so shocked? Tony is no spring chicken. Isn’t it normal to want a child? Besides…” Philip

let out a low chuckle. “With a child, Tony will be able to keep Myra bound to him.”

Elliot’s eyes widened at his words. Yet, when he saw Tony’s calm expression, he couldn’t help but

twitch the corners of his mouth. It was the first time he knew a child could have a role like that.

The four of them took their seats. After dinner, they moved to the card table. During the game, Lucas

received a message. He then frowned and looked at Tony. “Tony, it seems like Sean is suddenly

looking into the one who bought the land in Hilliville.”

When Elliot heard that, he pouted and tossed a card on the table. “So what if he finds out? Is he going

to buy it back?”

Nonetheless, Lucas and Philip knitted their brows. Even Tony slightly narrowed his eyes. Elliot couldn’t

help but shut his mouth at the sight. Suddenly, he remembered the trap they had set up…

Philip was the first to break the silence as he looked at Tony. “Tony, is he… suspecting us?”

Back then, all of them had participated in the plan to help Tony win Myra’s heart. Therefore, besides the

Hillivile Project, they were also involved in the Marina Bay Bridge Project…

Tony let out a smirk. He recalled the number that called Myra in the middle of the night a few days

back. With his expression stoic, he took a drag on his cigarette and pulled it away from his lips. His

handsome features were blurred by the smoke, concealing his expression as well.

“What a clown,” he said suddenly.

At his remarks, the others breathed out a sigh of relief. After all, they all knew what Myra meant to

Tony. They were afraid that that brat from the Chase Family would overestimate himself and make a

fuss again. However, looking at Tony, who was so at ease, they guessed that he had probably already

won Myra’s heart.

He’s right, though…

At the same time, they turned their gazes to Tony’s left hand that was resting on the table. Tony was

never someone who would waste his time on wearing accessories. The ring he wore was naturally the

same ring he posted on his Stories in the afternoon.

“But, my driver said he saw an unfamiliar Lamborghini when he passed by the Hart Residence

yesterday night. There was someone inside, but they didn’t come out nor turn on the headlights. They

just sat there and stared at the gate. Could it be Sean? Don’t tell me he changed his mind and wants to

take back…” Lucas didn’t let the last word slip out of his mouth. Yet, the others in the room knew what

he meant.

To take back who? Of course, it’s Myra.

Holding a few pieces of cards in his left hand, Tony slightly bent his right index and middle fingers,

tapping the surface of the table. The tapping sound hit the others’ hearts, beat by beat. There was a

layer of darkness under Tony’s eyes, and his emotions were indecipherable.

Suddenly, silence flooded the air.

“Get the word out. Tell the public that the Hart Group will soon acquire the Hilliville and all businessmen

are welcome.” After a long while, Tony finally said something in his flat tone. Suddenly, he tossed the

cards away, stood up from his seat, and simply took the suit jacket he left beside him. “The Hart Group

will sign a three-year contract with the first fifty percent who move in.”

The other three were shocked. At first, they only wanted to launch the Hilliville Project sometime later.

Looks like…

They exchanged a glance with one another.

Looks like someone will regret their decision soon.
