Chapter 9


    Sean pressed his lips together tightly and he did not answer her.


    Myra’s heart sank, even though her face was stoic. She then turned and went upstairs without saying


    anything.


    It could have been due to the time she spent in the cold water, which caused her to run a temperature


    that night. For the first half of the night, she dreamt a lot—one was about the moment she met Sean


    and how she watched as he acted lovey-dovey with another woman. Then, she finally settled down


    with him and they were married. The final scene was at their wedding.


    Exhaustion was visible on Sean’s face while his bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred as he coldly


    demanded, “Say it again—have you ever wronged me?!”


    Myra clenched her fist and she forced herself to shake her head.


    Sean’s expression instantly became gloomy. “Alright. Just as you wished.”


    His hatred appeared again in her dream, which finally woke her up with a start.


    She sat on the bed, hugging the nket while panting heavily. The clock showed that it was 4:00AM in


    the morning, but she could no longer fall asleep.


    When she woke up the next morning, there was ayer of dark circles under her eyes, which could


    barely be concealed even with the thickyer of foundation.


    Sean was having breakfast at the dining table downstairs while Eve, who sat at one side, was nagging.


    Her nags were none other than to ask him to return home earlier every night as it would be lonely for


    Myra to stay at home alone.


    Sean, who would usually interrupt her with impatience, did not do so today; he even replied to her that


    he understood her words when he saw Myraing down the stairs, which was an extremely


    umon behavior.


    The delighted Eve turned and saw Myra standing at thending; she then waved at thetter with a


    grin. “Myra,e over and have breakfast.” Apparently, she thought that her son had finally realized


    what he had been missing.


    Myra had an impassive expression when she bowed to Eve and informed her in a low voice, “Mom, I


    have some business to deal with in the morning, so I won’t be having breakfast at home.” With that,


    she headed straight out of the vi before waiting for Eve to reply.


    When Eve finally returned to her senses, she red at Sean. “It’s all your fault. If you haven’t been


    casting Myra aside, she wouldn’t be mad with you. You must coax her today. If you don’t return with her


    tonight, you can leave this house for good.”


    Looking at Myra’s disappearing back view, aplicated expression immediately appeared on his


    face.


    News that the Hart Group had taken full control over the design for the Chase Group’s Sunny Bay


    Projectst night soon spread all over thepany—and the identity of the hero was naturally known


    by all—Myra.


    Myra had been listless since early in the morning. She bought some antipyretic medicine when she


    was on the way to work and felt drowsy after taking it. However, upon thinking that her design draft had


    been approved, she cheered up and worked on improving the design.


    While she was doing the calctions on the figures, a stack of documents was dropped on her


    workspace with a thud.


    She raised her head, only to see that an infuriated Elsie was ring at her.


    “What’s the matter?” Myra pulled her chair while she calmly asking. She admitted that she was not


    generous enough to smile at Elsie while facing her—even though they never had any conflict with each


    other.


    “Are you actually asking me what the matter is?” A scowl appeared on Elsie’s face that was with heavy


    make-up and her eyes seemed like they were about to shoot fire. “Why didn’t you wait for me yesterday


    afternoon when you went to the Hart Group to talk about the Sunny Bay Project?” There was an


    unnatural blush on her face.


    Myra coughed twice and ced her pen down. “We had an appointment with the Hart Group’s Project

    Department at that time. Even if I waited for you, do you think that they would have waited for you?”


    Elsie felt a little guilty after she realized that she returned to thepanyte yesterday afternoon


    because she wanted to spend more time with Sean. However, she felt enraged when she saw the


    triumphant look on Myra’s face. Myra has obviously taken all the credit for yesterday’s sess!


    “If that’s the case, what aboutst night? Why didn’t you invite me to dinner with the Hart Group?!”


    Elsie pointed. “Both of us are handling the project, so why didn’t you invite me over?”


    “Oh, you are aware that the project is handled by both of us as well, right? So, where were you


    yesterday afternoon?” As Myra was suffering a headache from Elsie’s irritating screams, she was


    looking with cold eyes.


    “I-I had something to discuss with Director Chase. You can ask him if you don’t believe me! Stop


    changing the topic. I was talking about yesterday’s matter—why didn’t you inform me and invite me to


    that dinner?!”
