Chapter 142
Myra’s sleepy voice sounded soft and gentle as if it was a small hand caressing Tony’s heart. The
impressive New York street view was no longer visible to him.
Remembering the moment he saw her message after he got off the ne, his heart softened all of a
sudden. He took the cigarette away from his thin lips and put it out on the ashtray. His charmingly low
voice rose in Myra’s ear. “Did you miss me?”
As if an electric current had passed through her body, Myra shuddered slightly and buried herself

deeper into her bed. Her muffled sound rose from under her nket. “Yes…” Then, she heard his low
chuckle. She could even feel the vibration of his chest even though he was far away.
She felt like she was getting weaker after she met Tony. When she couldn’t see him, she missed him a
lot. Yet, when he was in front of her, she felt awkward. Biting her lip, she then said suddenly, “Did you
go back to deal with the Hartwell Group?” Estelle once mentioned to her that Tony nned to move the
Instead of being surprised by the fact that Myra knew what he was doing, Tony pulled out another
cigarette from the cigarette case. He paused for a moment and threw it into the trash can inside the car
again. Leaning back into the leather car seat, he loosened his tie, exuding an indifferent aura. “Don’t
worry. There will indeed be work-rted social functions. But, those women aren’t up to my standards.”
At his remarks, Myra’s heart flinched. A sweet feeling slowly flowed through her limbs. She lifted the
corners of her mouth and huffed. “If those women aren’t up to your standards, then who’s up to your
standards?”
Instantly, Myra slightly regretted what she said. Nevertheless, she had to admit that she was secretly
looking forward to his answer. As expected, she heard his low chuckle again. Tony’s voice was low and
sexy, and it made her cheeks burn up. Instantly, her sleepiness went away, and she straightened up
her neck and eximed, “What are youughing at?”
“You want me to confess my love for you, huh, Myra?” Tony lifted the corners of his thin lips slightly.
When the driver saw his expression from the rear-view mirror, his eyes widened in bewilderment.
However, he soon took notice of the harsh gaze his boss was giving him faintly, and he quickly
concentrated on the traffic ahead. Still, he couldn’t help but feel astonished. He had long been
employed as Tony’s personal driver in New York, but he had never seen him talking to anyone on the
phone with that tone and expression.
The one on the other side must be a woman, but she’s definitely not that one… The driver couldn’t help
but feel sorry for that woman when he thought about her.
The moment Myra heard Tony’s words, her face was blushing as red as a tomato. Luckily, he couldn’t
see her embarrassing state from the other side. Her grip on the phone tightened. “It’ste. I’m tired. I’m
going to bed.”
“So, you don’t want to know who’s up to my standards?” Nheless, it seemed like Tony didn’t want
to let her go.
Immediately, she was annoyed. “I don’t want to know any more!”
“Sigh. That’s a shame. I was going to tell you. Since you’re tired, go to sleep then.” He sounded like a
to your ce. Meow will look after you for me when I’m not around.”
‘Meow will look after you for me when I’m not around.’
Myra recalled what Tony said on the phone before he left. ‘When I’m away, you’re not allowed to talk to
other men, nor have any contact with them.’
A mixture of sweetness and embarrassment enveloped her heart. What a domineering man!
Quickly, she forgot his wickedness from earlier and let out a hiss as she gritted her teeth. As if she was
reluctant, she said, “Fine.” It had been quite some time since she saw that big furry dog. She missed it
a lot.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Even though nobody spoke, and Myra could only hear Tony’s
indistinct breathing, she still felt a sense of satisfaction. However, knowing that he just got off the ne
and would have a lot of things to deal with, she was understanding enough to say, “I’ll let you go. Talk
to youter.”
“Hmm.” Tony’s voice was faint.
Myra bit her lip, and then she said, “I’ll wait for you at home.” Then, she even gave him a kiss boldly. By
the time she realized what she had done, she quickly hung up.
Even Tony was baffled, but a faint smile quickly found its way to the corners of his lips.
When the driver saw that the call had ended, he immediately began, “Director Hart, Director Walton
said that the Walton Family has tidied up a room for you. The elders from the Walton Family haven’t
seen you in a while and they miss you. He insists that you stay the night at the Walton Residence
tonight.”
After Tony ended the call, he went back to the cold and distant self he presented in front of outsiders.
Hearing the driver’s words, he simply replied, “Go back to Bronx Street.”
Although his tone was light, it was unyielding. The driver could only answer, “Okay.” Slowly, the car
came to a stop and turned around, moving in the direction of Bronx Street.
Almost at the same time, there was another iing call. Tony nced at the number and answered
calmly.
“Tony, you’re finally back! Did the driver pick you up yet? Did he pass on my brother’s message?” As
soon as the call was answered, a woman’s delicate and cheerful voice was heard.
Tony took out a cigarette and lit it. When he held it between his lips, his voice came out muffled and
indifferent. “Hmm.”
“You have toe over tonight. I even prepared a surprise for you! Tony, I haven’t heard from you
since you went back. My brother said you nned to move the Hartwell Group back to Bradfort City. Is
that true? Why? Thepany is doing well here; why do you want to move it? Besides, after you move
it back, I’ll be so far away from you, and we—”
Before she could finish her words, Tony frowned and hung up impatiently. Holding the cigarette with his
index and middle fingers, he moved it away from his lips and blew out a mouthful of smoke to ease the
restlessness in his heart and body. Just the voice of Myra from earlier made him want to press her
underneath him. When he heard her kiss, his body quickly reacted.
She has to be proud of the influence she has over me. He squinted at the thought—it was as though he
hadn’t received the call from the other woman at all.
The next morning, Elliot showed up at Myra’s apartment with the dog.
When Myra went downstairs to pick up the dog, she saw the man and the dog leaning against the
extremely eye-catching golden Aston Martin Taraf. The scene was somewhat hrious.
As if it had been copying Elliot for a while, the dog gave up that posture, and simply plunged itself on
Elliot. Elliot dodged away while trying to grab it—it had be his sweet burden.
By the time Elliot noticed Myra’s presence, he finally grabbed the dog and whistled at her. “Myra, I
brought your dog here ording to Tony’s request!”
He walked toward Myra with the dog in his arms, during which Meow pped him with its paw, and
they got into a fight for a while again. Eventually, Elliot sessfully took hold of it and handed it to
Myra. “It loses its temper when its master isn’t around. Myra, if you can’t control it, call me.”
However, as soon as Meow got closer to Myra and saw her, it instantly darted out from Elliot’s arms
andunched itself toward Myra. It licked her excitedly—no longer grumpy as it had been when it was
around Elliot.
Elliot was stunned as he stared at the dog. He shot Meow an irritated nce before saying with relief
again, “Looking at its behavior, I’m finally relieved. I’ve something else to attend to, Myra. I have to go.
Call me if you need me.”
Myra nodded at his words. “Be safe on your way.”
The dog was rubbing against Myra’s leg as it knelt by her side while she watched Elliot getting into his
dazzling car. She found his Aston Martin Taraf somewhat familiar since it wasn’tmonly seen in
Bradfort City. Immediately, she remembered seeing this car at the Chase Group’s underground car
park.
