Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 41

If you ever dare to offend her, you better go the hell back to where you came from!

While thinking about what Sean said that day, Elsie quickly replied, “I’ll return to work immediately!”

She did not dare to argue with Myra, so she left the place in an embarrassment.

When it was just the three of them at the scene, Tilly glanced at the emotionless Sean for a moment

before she quietly turned toward Myra with her tongue sticking out. “Myra, I suddenly remembered that

I have unfinished business to attend to. I’ll come and see you later.” After that, she also left.

Seeing Tilly fleeing the scene, Myra twitched her lips as she turned to face Sean, but her face had

already reverted to its usual calmness. “Director Chase, is there something I can do for you?” It was the

same place where they met last time and she did not forget the humiliation she endured from him, so

she could not help but clench both her fists on each side.

Sean’s gaze quickly swept over her eyes, but the calmness and indifference in them was enough to

make him furrow his brows slightly. “I heard that you went on a business trip a few days ago. Is it

because of the Sunny Bay Project?”

“Yes.” Myra coldly nodded her head without saying anything else. However, it caused his brows to

tighten even more.

That day, he drove out to search for her, but no matter where he went, he just couldn’t find her. He was

deeply aware that he was intentionally embarrassing her, so he could not help but feel a little guilty in

the end. In the subsequent days, he would return home every day only to learn that she was not back

from work yet. Therefore, he knew that she was avoiding him on purpose. At that time, he was too

frustrated, so he did not know what to say to her for the time being. To be honest, he would probably

tell her that he hated her to the core without any hesitation, but for the past two years, she was the only

one who stayed by his side. No matter how indifferent he was toward her, she never decided to leave

him…

“Didn’t I ask you to wait for me?!” Suddenly, a trace of frustration pierced his heart, causing him to

speak in a heavy tone.

For a moment, Myra looked shocked as she was taken aback. Sean tightly pursed his lips before he

suddenly and forcefully loosened his tie. It was a black tie with blue stripes and it did not look special at

all, but it still caused Myra’s heart to skip a beat. The tie… It was the one she bought for him a long

time ago. For the most part, he simply kept it hidden at the bottom of the closet without ever wearing it,

but today…

At that moment, she felt as though there were thousands of ants chewing on her heart. Her nails sunk

deep into her palms immediately as she tried to prevent herself from being hopeful once again because

every time she had hope, it always ended in an unbearable moment…

With her head lowered, she smiled bitterly. “The Hart Group has allowed the Chase Group to enter the

competition with the Hay Group again. The last meeting was held at a hotel near the Sunny Bay Project

and I was afraid that it would be time-consuming for me to travel every day, so just like everyone else, I

stayed in the hotel. If it has caused you any inconvenience… I’m deeply sorry.”

All her bitterness landed in Sean’s eyes, which made him even more frustrated. In the past, Myra was

confident and cheerful as she always seemed to have a smile on the corners of her lips. However, ever

since she married him, her smile seemed to have faded away as time passed.

Sean did not know what he was thinking as of late. Does she deserve to live such a life because she

once harmed my child? I know clearly that she isn’t as kind as her image on the surface suggests. No

matter how many times I humiliate her, it will never stop the hatred I have for her in my heart!

However, for some reason, ever since he saw the despair on her face that day, he seemed to have…

Sean’s eyes grew darker and after a long while, he finally said calmly, “It’s nothing.”

His words were not as sharp as before, nor did he try to make things difficult for Myra, which was

unsettling for her at first. When she lifted her head and gazed at him, she happened to see the

gentleness in his eyes that he had not even noticed before it was buried. For a moment, she was

shocked, but a while later, she could see that there was nothing but coldness and alienation in his

eyes, so she thought that it was only an illusion earlier… Alas, it’s impossible for Sean to look at me

with such gentle eyes!

Suddenly, the atmosphere became weird between the two of them.

“If there’s nothing else…” Myra was starting to panic. She was afraid that she would not be able to

control her emotions if the situation continued. Therefore, she murmured to the man in front of her, “If

there’s nothing else, Director Chase, I’ll be—”

“Come with me to Old Master Hart’s birthday party next week.” Without waiting for her to finish her

words, Sean suddenly spoke. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

For a moment, Myra thought that she had heard Sean wrongly, but then, he calmly continued with his

words. “By then, I’ll ask Richard to come and pick you up. Try… not to be late.” After that, he turned

and immediately left, leaving her with an elusive figure.

While looking at the draft papers that she had just placed in front of her, her eyes were slowly filled with

many mixed emotions.

For the past two days, Myra had poured all her attention into the design plans since the Hart Group

wanted the final draft and its data to be presented. To prepare for the last meeting, she even forgot to

sleep and eat as she stayed up late almost every night until 1 in the morning, yet she still woke up at

her usual time every day.

In a short period of two days, she was completely exhausted, but the confidence in her eyes grew

larger. She had a feeling that her design draft this time would definitely shine in the final meeting.

It was already 1 in the morning. When Myra exited the office building of the Chase Group, she was not

surprised to see Sean’s black Lamborghini parked outside. Then, Richard came out from the driver’s

seat and trotted all the way to the back so that he could open the door for her. “Young Mistress Myra,

please get inside the car. Director Chase is waiting for you inside.” For the past three nights, no matter

how late she stayed for work, Sean would always be waiting for her downstairs.

Without being pretentious, she entered the car right away. Just like always, the two of them did not say

a word to each other. When they returned to the Chase Residence, she would return to her bedroom

while he went back to his study.

In the beginning, Eve would ask Myra whether she had already made peace with Sean.

Make peace? Actually, I don’t even know why he is doing this. With her eyes lowered, Myra quietly

cheered herself. Don’t think about anything else. Tomorrow is the crucial battle!

The next day, Myra arrived at the company in the morning and took out the design plans that she

locked in the drawer last night to take a look. Luckily, nothing went wrong. She calculated the data

again to make sure there were no mistakes before rolling up the design plans.

A while later, Tilly came and informed that the director was looking for her. Therefore, she locked the

plans back into the drawer before heading toward the director’s office. In the afternoon, almost

everyone on the floor went to the cafeteria for lunch, but Elsie suddenly showed up at Myra’s desk.

With a roll of paper in her hand, she took out a key and opened Myra’s drawer before exchanging the

two design plans. Quickly, she locked the drawer while her eyes were filled with hatred. “Let’s see how

you’ll make your report this evening! Myra, if you aren’t able to win the Sunny Bay Project, you better

be prepared to be fired by Sean!” After that, she cleaned everything up and left in a hurry.

At 4:00PM, Myra brought her design draft in advance to the Hart Group. This time, the director allowed

her to select an assistant to follow her, so she picked Tilly.

At the lobby, they met Sasha and Lily, who had also exited their car. Myra nodded at them politely

before waiting for Logan and Leo to come down. At that critical moment, no one dared to speak

because everyone was probably a little nervous. Myra even saw Lily furrowing her brows while holding

on to their design drafts, as if the latter was reciting something.
