Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 137

The things weren’t snacks at all. It was a box of adult toys. The sexy underwear set on the top was

barely made of a few scraps of fabric, and the black laces were particularly eye-catching. Not to

mention, the toys below were of various lengths…

A phone rang, and Myra jumped. She instinctively reached for her phone, but because her hand was

trembling slightly, she accidentally pressed the speakerphone. Everyone heard the ambiguous voice of

the woman on the other end. “Miss Stark, I presume you’ve received the goods? The cable and CDs in

the bag have been prepared for you according to Estelle’s instructions. I hope you enjoy using them.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

There was a terrible silence in the hallway. It went on for so long that Myra felt as if it was the end of

the world. Then, Sebastian let out a loud snort, opened the security door, and left.

Myra stood in front of the box. This was her first time being put in such a difficult situation. Her eyes

were red-rimmed, and she felt utterly ashamed. She wanted so badly to rush to Estelle and give her a

good scolding!

Seeing how embarrassed Myra was, Tony’s lips curled up slightly. He gathered the trembling woman in

front of him into his arms and hugged her tightly. “It’s all right. The old man knows that you didn’t buy it.

Don’t worry.”

“But, it’s so embarrassing…” Myra bit down hard on her lip. An elder had witnessed such a scene, and

in her own house too. It didn’t matter if she was the one who bought it; she still felt ashamed. Perhaps

the old man would think that her friend bought so many adult things for her because she had certain

desires.

“It’s not shameful. You can use a lot of this stuff on your own anyway.” Tony’s voice sounded from

above her head as he eyed the items at her feet.

“Tony! Hart!” When Myra heard this, she thought of how he actually dared to place her hand on his

thigh when Sebastian was around earlier. Not only that, but he had also used her hand to touch his…

She felt like she was going to explode. Stomping her foot, she pushed him away, then turned and ran

toward her bedroom.

Once she entered, she locked the door and immediately dialed Estelle’s number. As soon as her call

was answered, she yelled in embarrassment, “Estelle, what the hell did you buy?”

When Estelle received the call from her friend, she smirked and answered, “I’m livening things up for

you and Tony. I was afraid that you’d be nervous, so I specially asked her to include some CDs with

horror movies for you. My dear Myra, you don’t have to thank me.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why should I thank you?” For the first time, Myra didn’t feel like talking to Estelle anymore, so she

hung up the phone and threw it down, then buried herself under the blanket.

It’s over. Old Master Hart’s impression of me is ruined… She felt like giving up on life.

Outside the bedroom, Tony peered at the box full of things, and a profound look clouded his eyes.

Looking at the bedroom door that was shut tightly, he suddenly chuckled.

After burying herself under the covers, Myra gradually fell asleep.

By the time she woke up, three hours had passed, and the sky was dark.

Waking up, Myra suddenly remembered something and hurried out of the bedroom. She didn’t see

Tony, but there was a laptop on the coffee table in the living room. Beside it was a glass ashtray which

already contained a few cigarette butts.

She thought for a while, then turned and walked toward the corridor outside the glass door. Sure

enough, she saw Tony standing there talking on the phone with his back facing her.

He was holding a cigarette in his right hand, and he was dressed in only his white shirt and black pants.

On his feet were the dark brown slippers she bought, which made Myra feel like he was part of her

home.

Just by watching his back, Myra seemed to feel a sense of contentment in her heart.

He must have sensed her gaze, as the man on the phone turned around. When he met Myra’s eyes, a

small smile appeared, and it felt as if all of the world’s moonlight was concentrated in his eyes. He said

something to the person on the other end, then he hung up before opening the glass door and walking

toward her.

As he took in her crimson face, Tony’s lips curved into a shallow arc. “You’re finally awake?”

Myra’s face felt a little hot. There were guests at home, but she had gone to the bedroom and fell

asleep.

Thinking of the laptop on the coffee table, she figured that Tony had asked his assistant to send it over

when she was asleep. She was a little embarrassed as she said, “I don’t know why I fell asleep…”

Almost instantly, the memory of the box full of stuff returned to her mind, and Myra subconsciously

looked in the direction of the hallway.

“I’ve taken care of the items,” Tony informed nonchalantly. He held Myra’s waist as he walked toward

the sofa in the living room. Lowering his head, he placed a quick kiss on her forehead, then murmured,

“I still have some business to deal with. You go ahead and make dinner first, okay?”

Tony was being extremely gentle—so gentle that Myra was unable to resist him. She nodded as she

stared into his deep eyes. “Okay.”

Only when she began to busy herself in the kitchen, did Myra start to feel a little upset. Why can’t I

resist his charm?

From the door of the kitchen, she could see the man seated at the coffee table not far from her. He was

constantly tapping away on the laptop while he held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers.

Occasionally, he would place the cigarette between his thin lips as he squinted at the screen in front of

him. Sometimes, he would tap the tabletop with his left fingers.

Myra found that he was expressionless when he was working, and his thin lips would be pressed

together, but somehow… He’s so damn sexy!

Most people say that a man was most handsome when he was working, and Tony’s behavior just now

made Myra’s heart throb.

She patted her chest, wondering when she became so obsessed with him. Seeing that he was still

busy, she subconsciously slowed down the speed of making dinner.

The dinner was simple but filled with warmth. After eating, Myra went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When she came out, the table was already cleaned up.

The computer was turned off, and the papers were neatly laid aside.

Just now, she didn’t notice that there was a suitcase beside the sofa. At this moment, the suitcase was

opened, and it was a mess inside. It was filled with men’s clothes and daily necessities, and everything

was laid bare on the floor.

For a moment, Myra was taken aback. Then, she suddenly remembered that when Tony sent her back

today, he asked her to go to his place tonight, and she had agreed.

Now…

Having heard that the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped, Myra didn’t know why, but her ears

grew hot, so she rushed into her bedroom.

Tony… Is he going to stay at my house tonight?

She suddenly thought of what Estelle had said. ‘A man and a woman in the same room…’

Although she didn’t have any objections to having any sort of relations with Tony, she always felt shy.

There was a knock on the door, and Tony’s deep and sexy voice sounded immediately, “Myra?”

Perhaps it was because he had been in the bathroom for a while, so the heat had made his throat dry,

causing his voice to drop several octaves.

Myra’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly responded, “I’m taking a shower.”

Then, she scolded herself for being an idiot. Anyone could hear that she was standing behind the door.

It didn’t sound like she was taking a shower at all. It was more like she was hiding from someone!

Of course, Tony could tell too. There was a hint of a smile in his voice as he said, “Then, I’ll wait for you

to come out.”

After a pause, he added, “After you come out, I have something to tell you.”
