Chapter 359
Leo remained silent as he mused, Director Tony wants to set up a flower shop, but doesn’t want too
many clients to know the address. I guess he’s doing this just to pamper Miss Myra. Although he was
already used to seeing how Tony would dote on Myra, Leo couldn’t help but exim mentally, since his
past self would never have believed Tony was capable of such deeds toward a woman.
However, Leo quickly carried out Tony’s orders, starting from finding a suitable shoplot. Myra knew
nothing about it as she worked on arranging the flowers into another vase before bringing it out from
the lounge, only to find that the atmosphere outside the lounge was different from when she left.
In fact, the atmosphere in Tony’s office was slightly heavy. With a morose look, Tony held an almost
hostile gaze in his narrow eyes. His features were stiff and serious when he tapped on the surface of
the table with the index and middle finger of his left hand, which produced a series of light yet
unnerving tapping noises. At the same time, his eyes were narrowed into slits as he stared forward
dangerously.
Standing in front of him was a woman with a pale face. She was in a champagne-colored office wear
that looked both formal and elegant. Her curls cascaded down her back, which gave her the allure of a
mature woman. However, her body was stiff, and there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes. The woman
was no stranger to Myra, as she was the director of the finance department, Ivy Jameson.
Perhaps because Tony noticed Myra’s presence, he seemed less gloomy. Nheless, he picked up
the document in front of him before throwing it onto the table in front of Ivy. In an indifferent tone, he
ordered, “Redo this report. From tomorrow onward, you will start working at Springdale City.”
“I won’t go to Springdale City!” Having noticed Myra’s presence, a hint of agony fleeted across Ivy’s
gaze. Biting her lip, she continued to stare at the man in front of her stubbornly.
“Miss Jameson, this is thepany’s decision.” Tony’s face fell, his eyes holding a look of dismay.
“Is this thepany’s decision, or is it yours?” Ivy gritted her teeth before continuing, “Tony, are you
transferring me because you can’t change my mind? What are you afraid of? Is it because you’re
worried that having me around might displease her?”
All of a sudden, Ivy pointed at Myra, who was startled by her movement. Her eyes reddened as she
spoke. “All I wish for is to be able to pursue you freely! Is that a crime? I didn’t do anything to Miss
Stark! Everybody has their freedom to love someone! I know you don’t like me, but that’s your problem!
You can’t stop me from liking you! Besides, Myra isn’t a good match for you! Tony, won’t you get
someone else even if it’s not me? Do you know what those people outside are saying about you? They
say—”
“That’s enough!” A chilly look enveloped his features as he red at Ivy with his piercing eyes.
Standing up, he bellowed, “Get out!”
“I won’t!” Ivy finally mustered up enough courage, as she knew she would never have the chance to
express her feelings again if she didn’t do it now.
She had loved and waited for Tony for many years. Unlike Gemma, she would never resort to
underhanded tactics, but she loved him as much as Gemma did. If it were up to her, she wished Tony
would find another woman even if he didn’t like her. She had no idea why he would even want
someone who was a divorcee. To be honest, she didn’t even get why Myra was considered better than
her or any other woman.
“You were the one who was constantly providing for her! What has she ever done for you? Tony, will
someone like her still be around you when you hit a low in life?” Ivy was yelling at him with a hoarse
voice.
Upon hearing that, Myra clenched one of her fists. Then, she walked up to Tony while holding the vase
before setting it down on the corner of his desk. After that, she began tidying up the documents in frontN?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
of him which were messed up during his outburst.
“I know you’ve given her some of the shares of yourpany! On what basis does she deserve that?
The shares were umted through generations of hard work by the Hart Family! What has she
done to deserve all that?” When Ivy witnessed what Myra was doing, she assumed Myra was just
trying to make her look bad. All riled up, her face was red as she couldn’t help but shout at the top of
her lungs. However, nobody knew whether what she said was intended for Tony or Myra.
Tony wore a deep frown as he reached out to pull Myra into his arms, which she allowed him to. “On
what basis, you ask?” With a mirthless chuckle, he answered, “On the basis that she’s my fiancée, as
well as the future wife of the director of thispany! Would that suffice as a reason?”
Ivy was devastated by what she heard. Although she knew full well that Tony was in love with Myra,
and that they would soon be married, she could still hardly ept it as the truth when she heard it from
him. Staggering backward, she nearly drew blood as she dug her nails into the flesh of her palms.
“Tony Hart! Don’t you know what I’ve done for thepany?!”
“Which is why you’re now the finance director of ourpany,” Tony replied without emotion.
“Finance director? Did you really think that’s what I want?”
“I don’t care whether that’s what you want or not. All I know is that that is all thepany and I can
provide.” Tony was wearing a stiff smile.
“That is all you can provide…” Without warning, Ivy burst intoughter until her tears rolled, staining her
cheeks, which made her seem ghastly. After ncing at Myra and then at Tony, she walked up to them
without hesitation before stopping in front of Tony, or rather, in front of Myra. “Miss Stark, tell me why do
you like him? Just a few months ago, you were married to Sean Chase, whom you loved deeply. You
even cut ties with your family in order to marry him, so why would you fall in love with Tony all of a
sudden? Don’t you dare make up any fancy lies to deceive me!” Ivy stared at her intently.
Upon noticing that Tony was about to speak up for herself against Ivy, Myra squeezed his hand with her
own hand that he was holding, which brought a frown to his face. Then, she stated matter-of-factly, “I
know you don’t think I’m a good match for Tony. You even doubt my feelings for him.”
As Myra spoke, Ivy red at her as if indicating that she would make Myra pay dearly if she lied.
However, Myra didn’t seem to care as she wore a nonchnt smile. “I know that there are things that
you will never believe in no matter how I phrase them. And I never thought of giving you any promise or
exnation. My rtionship with Tony only has to do with us. If we like each other, we don’t care how
people perceive us. Because I like him, and I know he likes me, I will never give up on our rtionship.
Will you give up if you were in my shoes?”
Ivy choked on her own words upon hearing what Myra said. Begrudgingly, she red at Tony. “I will
never go to Springdale City! As I said, the fact that I like you has nothing to do with anybody else but
myself! As long as you and Myra haven’t married each other, I will never give up!”
“Suit yourself,” Tony uttered mockingly before dialing the internalndline. “Leo, take Miss Jameson
away. Her presence is unweed.”
Upon hearing that, Ivy’s countenance shifted drastically. Soon, the door of the office was opened, and
Leo entered with a nk look on his face while looking at Ivy. “Let’s go.”
Ivy looked hurt. Seeing that she wasn’t about to leave, Leo reached out to drag her away. He held her
in a tight grip, so her wrist was bruised when she cast his hand away as soon as they got out through
the door.
“Ivy, why can’t you just ept the fact that the director doesn’t like you romantically?” Leo grabbed her
hand again when he noticed she tried to barge in again.
