Chapter 312
After they cuddled in the car for a while, Tony finally released Myra from his embrace.
When she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly pulled her hand back.
Hence, she turned and looked at him questioningly. He merely smiled and pulled her over before he
nted a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll pick you upter in the afternoon. Take care.”
Myra returned the kiss on his chin. “When you arrive, call me. Don’t just stay silent.”
She remembered that he had quietly waited for her at thepany. Even though she did not say it out
loud, she felt rather sorry for him.
Tony smiled slightly and caressed his chin on her face. It was only after agreeing to her request that he
let her go.
Myra was in a pretty good mood after they had talked things out. No matter what, it was definitely better
than brooding on the problem herself.
When she was walking up the stairs, a female employee hastily ran into her. Myra’s expression
changed when she lost her bnce on the stairs. Fortunately, Genevieve, the co-director of the Design
Department, pulled Myra so that she did not fall over.
After realizing that she hadnded into trouble, the expression of the employee who bumped into Myra
changed immediately. She then apologized profusely to Myra in a timid manner. “I’m so sorry,Miss
Stark. I didn’t notice you just now.”
Myra did not take it seriously, thinking that it was because of the peak hour and the employee was
anxious about arrivingte. Hence, she merely waved nonchntly. “Don’t worry about it. Just get
going.”
The female employee immediately left after heaving a sigh of relief.
Genevieve added casually, “Miss Stark, you are still in your trimester, so you have to be more careful.”
Myra nodded. “Got it. Thanks, Genevieve.”
She initially thought it was just a minor ident, yet it had already happened a few times today.
When Tilly was sending documents somewhere else, Myra went to the pantry to pour a cup of water for
herself. However, someone still managed to identally bump into her. Fortunately, she reacted
quickly and threw the cup aside as she held onto the door next to her to prevent her fall.
Myra was thest to enter the elevator as she had finished another meeting. Yet, when she walked out,
she felt someone shoving her from within, making her stagger forward before she could regain her
bnce.
There were many people in the elevator, so she did not know who the culprit was. However, she was
sure that it was no longer an ident. An ident would happen once, but something was definitely
wrong when it happened a few times in one day.
Hence, Myra did not leave her office for an entire afternoon.
At around 3:00PM, Gemma had called to invite her for a session of afternoon tea, but she rejected the
invitation with the excuse of being busy.
Gemma guessed that she could not convince Myra to meet her, so she did not insist on it.
However, not long after that, someone who would seldom appear on this floor and who did not want to
Kris was here to personally hand a document to Myra. The Central Square project that Myra was in
charge of had been approved. The Walton Group had also coborated on the project, so Kris had a
vindictive expression on her face as she ced the document in front of Myra. “Myra, Dad asked me to
hand this document for you to have a look. If all is good, we can start to coborate with the Walton
Group.”
Kris was extremely proud of the project since she was now Gideon’s fiancee. Once the Stark Group
and the Walton Group started their investments together, the project would be the perfect trigger for her
to marry into the Walton Family. He even promised that as long as the Stark Group worked well with
the Walton Group, ording to the terms and conditions, he would personally transfer 10% of the profit
from the Central Square project to her, not the Stark Group. Apart from that, her name would be
included as one of the people in charge of the project, so it was an opportunity for her to make her
name in Bradfort City.
It was a great temptation for Kris. Initially, it was not a very profitable project, but Gideon imed that
he had a way to give a good price to the Stark Group.
Since businessmen merely wanted profit, Cameron had the same line of thinking as Kris.
Upon hearing what Kris said, Myra frowned slightly as she shot a nce at the document in front of
her. To be honest, none of the prominent business groups in Bradfort City wanted to invest in the
project. The only reason why Stark Group applied for it was just to make a name for themselves. Now
that they were working together with the Walton Group, she could guess what happened in Cameron
and Kris’ mind, so she merely eyed Kris indifferently. “Got it.”
With that, she continued to lower her head as she perused the document in her hands.
Seeing that Kris was still standing there, Myra raised her head as her eyes narrowed at the woman in
front of her. “Anything else, Miss Stark?”
Undeniably, Kris was envious and jealous of her. Kris immediately pursed her lips and turned. “There’s
nothing to be said between us.”
She headed to the pantry immediately after walking out of Myra’s office.
At that moment, there was no one there. Kris walked to the three-doorvish refrigerator and opened
the door. There were many fresh ingredients in it and she noticed a lemon that was wrapped by a
protective film. It was probably left there after someone cut it this morning.
Knowing that Myra loved to drink lemon water, Kris walked to the door to lock it before walking back to
the refrigerator. Then, she took out a small bag and poured some of the white powder on the film-
wrapped lemon. The lemon was quite juicy, so the white powder quickly disappeared into the lemon.
After that, she wrapped another film around the lemon and ced it back into the refrigerator before
she hastily left the pantry on that floor.
…
When it was almost time to knock off from work, a rather major incident appeared on that floor.
One of the secretaries, who was four months pregnant, suddenly bled profusely. The baby within her
had an emergency condition.
Before everyone could get off work, an ambnce arrived and sent that woman to the hospital. It
seemed like she had suffered a miscarriage.
When Myra heard the news from Tilly, her face turned slightly pale. Unconsciously, cold sweat broke
out on Myra’s back as she recalled the various idents that she met today. On top of that, she felt
that something was off with the employee’s miscarriage, which made her hair stand on its edge when
she heard the news.
“What’s wrong, Miss Stark?” After noticing Myra’s worried look, Tilly quickly stopped speaking as she
med herself for being tactless. Miss Stark is now pregnant. Why am I telling her these matters to
scare her?
“Tilly, what is the secretary’s health condition? Did she identally fall or eat something that was
harmful to her pregnancy?” Myra asked.
After noticing that Myra did not look well, Tilly shook her head. “No, Sunny has already been quite
healthy and I heard that the baby is doing well during the checkups. In the afternoon, she went for
lunch with the other secretaries, so it was illogical that she had eaten something wrong. Everyone took
extra care of her because she’s pregnant.”
Worried that she could be overthinking things, Myra kept quiet about the things she felt were illogical so
as not to worry others. Instead, she merely told Tilly, “Give my sry and bonus this month to Sunny.”

As a mother, she must be saddened that she has a misacrriage.
As Myra was also pregnant at that moment, she could understand how Sunny felt. After all, Sunny was
one of the secretaries serving her, so Myra felt sorry for her. “Tell her to rest well before returning to
work. There’s no need for her to rush.”
Tilly nodded with a smile. “You are such a nice person, Miss Stark.”
