Chapter 81
“Thank you, Mr. rk.” Eve heaved a sigh of relief while packing up the soup that she brought with her,
ready to go back home. Before leaving, she smiled at him gently. “Doe visit me sometimes.”
“Definitely.” Leo nodded with a subtle smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Chase.”
“It’s nothing. In fact, I should be the one thanking you!” Now that Eve was satisfied, she chuckled when
she saw the thermal lunch box he held. “I didn’t know you cook for yourself. You’re a fine young man.”
However, Leo merely shook his head, his response seemingly indicative of something else. “I didn’t
make this. Somebody else did, and she was the one who delivered this to the office. I am merely
handing this to the designated recipient.”
“Oh, then it must be someone’s wife who delivered this. He’s a lucky man.” Eve could smell the rich
aroma of the soup despite the rtively short time they spent conversing with each other.
On the other hand, Leo wore a knowing smile while replying, “Yeah. He sure is a lucky man.”
After a few more exchanges, Eve left. It wasn’t until she was gone that Leo entered Tony’s office with
the soup that Myra made for his boss. Tony could observe Leo and Eve’s conversation from the TV
screen in his office. When Leo came in, he arched his brow before giving praise. “Good job.”
It was rare for Tony topliment him, so he was smiling when he handed the soup to Tony. At the
same, he didn’t forget to tter Tony either. “This is the soup that Miss Stark wanted me to pass to you.
Mrs. Chase was saying that you’re lucky to have Miss Stark as your wife!”
Seeing that Tony was wearing a faint smile, Leo heaved a sigh of relief. Tony’s mood had been
unstable as ofte, so he had been giving his subordinates a hard time. Fortunately, Myra’s soup
seemed to be a miraculous cure that was able to soothe him. Then, the internal phone on Leo’s desk
outside suddenly rang. Hence, he went out to take the call. After spending some time talking over the
phone, he re-entered Tony’s office to inform his boss respectfully, “Mr. Hart, you have a call from the
registry. Miss L Fisher would like to meet you.”
In the meantime, Eve’spliment was still being reyed on the screen in front of Tony. When he
heard what Leo told him, he narrowed his eyes before replying indifferently, “Tell her toe up.”
Then, he switched off the screen before lighting a cigarette. Soon enough, his fine features were
shrouded by the smoke. “Has Myra left?” he asked all of a sudden after Leo told the registrar to let L
Leo gave him a nod. “She left after getting out of the small office.”
“Then she would have definitely bumped into L.” Holding his cigarette between his index finger and
middle finger, Tony tapped it on the ashtray to get rid of the ashes, all the while wearing an uncaring
expression. “Do you think she might be jealous if she knows that I’ll be meeting L?”
Even if she has been delivering soup to your office, it doesn’t mean she fancies you to the point of
getting jealous over another girl meeting you. However, I’m fairly certain that she would be unhappy to
see L here. After mulling over the situation, Leo nodded calmly. “Of course she will be.”
Tony lifted his head abruptly to stare at Leo as soon as he heard what thetter told him. Later on, as if
he had read Leo’s mind, he squinted at Leo. Feeling slightly guilty, Leo moved to take his leave. “Mr.
Hart, I have other matters to tend to, so I’ll be leaving first.” After that, he fled the scene without waiting
to hear what Tony had to say.
Meanwhile, L was tidying her hair at the registrar. She was wearing a sky-blue, ankle-length dress,
and a matching set of heels that entuated her slim and tall figure. Her long, wavy hair was tied up in
a bun, leaving two strands of hair in the front. Having put on a light but delicate makeup, she seemed
refined. Apparently, she was in a good mood on this day.
Even though things were only progressing at a moderate pace on Sean’s side, she knew she had
seeded in attracting his attention, which to her, was something worth celebrating. On the other
hand, she would also be bing Tony’s ally, so people of the upper ss society in Bradfort City
would have to be careful while dealing with her.
With that in mind, she observed thedy at the front register demurely while holding onto her
sunsses. The registrar was in turn, quite agitated by it. After the phone call ended, she turned to
face L delightedly, “Miss Fisher, Mr. rk informed me that the president will be waiting for you
upstairs.”
“Thank you,” she replied politely with a lilt in her voice. The registrar nearly asked her for a photo and
an autograph, but she managed to stop herself and quickly waved her hand to show L the way
upstairs. Without a word, L left for the elevator, and then pressed on the button with an arrow that
was pointing upward.
She took her time to tidy up her hair again when she was waiting for the elevator. Soon enough, the
doors of the elevator opened with a chime when it arrived at the ground floor. Both of the women who
stood inside and outside of the elevator respectively were startled upon seeing each other.
Myra’s countenance shifted into one of indifference when she ignored L and stepped out of the
elevator. However, when she brushed past L, who was entering the elevator, thetter bumped her
in the shoulder.
“L Fisher! What are you doing?!” Myra whipped around to observe the seemingly harmless woman.
Letting out a chuckle, L asked, “Do you still remember your promise to me when I left?”
Myra’s expression darkened. Back when Eve forced L to leave Bradfort City, Myra had met up with
L to inform thetter that she would never stand between Sean and her, nor would she marry Sean
during her absence. However, she relented when Eve begged her, or rather, she broke her promise to
L by marrying the man whom she also loved.
You’re the one who failed me, so you shouldn’t be ming me for being hard on you!” L dered
with a grim look on her face before entering the elevator. After that, she pressed on the button to close
the door, leaving Myra alone outside, which somehow gave her a good mood.
Upon seeing the doors of the elevator closing slowly, gradually blocking L’s figure out of view, Myra
clenched her fists. When she passed by the front register, she heard one of the registrars asking the
other one, “What rtionship do you suppose L Fisher shares with the president?” The ambiguous
tone prompted Myra to slow down in her steps.
“Hm, I think there must be more than meets the eye! He used to have Mr. rk turn everyone down
after all, so the fact that he allowed L to go meet him is suspicious! Furthermore, he has to attend
another meetingter on.”
“Yeah, I think so too! Actually, I think they’re a pretty good match. Think about it! L Fisher’s public
image in these recent years has been rather good. She’s so elegant and ssy since she can y the
piano. Also, I’ve heard that she likes to do charity. Add that to her beauty and humility; don’t you think
that she’s a perfect match with our president?”
Myra couldn’t help but stop in her tracks while an odd emotion rippled within her. She wasn’t sure what
it was, but it felt ufortable. Is L perhaps Tony’s crush that he mentioned in the interview that
day? But he knows about my feud with L, so why would he act like we are acquaintances under
such conditions? Her mind was all muddled up. Biting on her lip, she hurriedly left Hart Group.
Compared to her frazzled state, L was in a much better ce. It was as if she could already see
herself marrying Sean after he dered his deep love to her in an attempt to have her stay by his side.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
