Chapter 404


    Facing Matthias’ confrontation, Myra couldn’t think of a way to deal with him at the moment, and her


    silence made him want to push his luck all the more.


    “Since Miss Stark has no objection, let’s have coffee together,” Matthias said in a casual manner.


    Nevertheless, he wore a threatening look.


    “It’s office hour now,” Myra reminded Matthias as she was not keen to have coffee with him at all.


    “Besides, I shouldn’t take coffee because I’m pregnant.”


    Matthias wasn’t too bothered about Myra’s rejection, but he frowned involuntarily when he heard her


    say she was pregnant.


    In fact, he had long heard of the news concerning Myra and Tony, so he knew everything about Myra


    like the back of his hand. He was even aware that she was pregnant for three months. Nheless,


    when he heard Myra say this to him in person, he still couldn’t ept that the person who made a


    promise to him back then had both her appearance and heart changed.


    How could he reconcile himself to the fact that his childhood sweetheart no longer loved him? Matthias


    was unresigned. Last time, they had promised to be together this lifetime. Was a promise made in their


    youths so fragile that it couldn’t even stand the test of time? He had strived to make himself a better


    and more outstanding person. However, it turned out that his childhood sweetheart was already


    married to someone else and hadpletely forgotten about.


    Myra was flustered upon seeing the grievance in Matthias’ eyes as she felt his gaze was rather familiar.


    For some reason, she felt her heart squeeze and that she had lost an important part of her memory.


    “Let’s have some other drinks then. I just want to have a good chat with you about Stark Group.”


    Matthias stared at Myra in an imploring manner, which made thetter couldn’t bring herself to turn him


    down.


    Deep down, Myra had a bizarre feeling toward Matthias which couldn’t be exined. She knew he was


    a dangerous person and that he might be an enemy, and she was even aware of his improper intention


    toward her. However, there was a voice in her which was asking her not to reject him. Myra had always


    deemed herself as a loyal person. As a matter of fact, she didn’t think her feelings toward Matthias was


    love between a man and a woman, but it was just delicate and couldn’t be expressed in words.


    “Let me finish my work first.” Myrapromised. She was eager to find out what happened between


    Matthias and her back then, and what their rtionship was.


    I actually remember many things and still have a vivid memory about my childhood, but why can’t I


    recall anything about Matthias? I can’t even recall who was the guy by my side when I was young.


    Myra was distressed about her memory, and she really wanted to find out what actually happened to


    her. If she had indeed lost her memory, why did she only lose her memory about Matthias? If that


    wasn’t the case, was there any entanglements between her and Matthias before this? Why was


    Matthias looking at her in such a profound manner?


    “I hope you don’t mind me sitting here while waiting for you.” Matthias nced at the couch beside him


    and sat leisurely on it.


    Myra’s eyelids twitched as she looked at him. How can he be so casual? Doesn’t he know that he’s


    disturbing others by doing so? However, Matthias wore a rascally look and didn’t seem like he intended


    to leave.


    Myra didn’t say anything else and lowered her head to continue working. She was amazed at how


    thick-skinned Matthias was, and she reckoned she wouldn’t be able to escape from having a talk with


    him today. Tightening her grip on the pen, Myra wished she had more tasks toplete so that she


    could drag it until Tony came to pick her up.


    But on second thought, she decided it was better for Tony to not meet Matthias. Thinking of the enmity


    Matthias harbored toward Tony, Myra thought it would be a disaster if they met in private.


    Both Myra and Tony would not have expected the current situation to happen. Myra didn’t wish to


    always depend on Tony, and she wanted to face her own issue by herself.

    Matthias was right—she should have a good talk with him about Stark Group. In fact, she should have


    a proper conversation with him regardless of the subject being a business matter or private matter.


    Nevertheless, Myra was not prepared yet. She just learned from Cameron yesterday that Matthias


    wanted to meet her in private, and today, thetter already showed up.


    Myra was nervous, but she didn’t understand what she was being nervous about. She was afraid that


    she couldn’t answer some of Matthias’ questions when they started talkingter because she hadn’t


    sorted out some key issues in her mind.


    As such, the two of them sat in the office, each having an axe to grind. Obviously, Matthias was pretty


    good at entertaining himself. Neither did he disturb Myra as he probably wished Myra could finish her


    work as soon as possible.


    From time to time, Myra would nce toward Matthias to see him solving a Rubik’s Cube. She was


    sure that the Rubik Cube was not from her office, so Matthias must have brought it along with him.


    Why would an adult bring a Rubik’s Cube with him wherever he goes? Matthias was proficient at


    solving the Rubik’s Cube, but Myra could still sense his stubbornness and loneliness as she observed


    him.


    Before this, her first impression toward Matthias was that he was a flirty and light-hearted man, but


    now, it seemed like he was born with an inherently reclusive aura and no one would be able to smooth


    out his gloomy frown.


    A man like him must have encountered a lot in the past as his countenance had a mix of maturity and


    childishness. At this moment, he was just a boy from Myra’s point of view, but he had a stern look that


    resembled that of a discipline teacher from school.


    “Miss Stark, is my side profile that attractive? You’ve been staring at me for some time. Are you


    finished with your work?” Matthias’ frivolous voice emerged, from which Myra couldn’t tell his true


    emotions.


    “Almost.” Myra quickly lowered her head to cover up her nervous look. She was embarrassed upon


    being called out by Matthias even though she wasn’t sexually attracted to him.


    “Do you need help?” When Myra lifted her head again, she saw Matthias stand up and walk toward her.


    “It’s okay. We don’t need an outsider to meddle with the matters of Stark Group,” Myra rejected him.


    She was inexplicably irritated by how Matthias naturally made himself at home.


    “It seems like you’re guarding against me, Miss Stark. I’m not eyeing yourpany. All that I did was


    just to help Stark Group. Trust me, I don’t have any ill intentions.” Matthias looked calm as if he was


    indeed well-intentioned, but Myra didn’t buy his words.


    All that Matthias did was clearly targeting Stark Group, and Myra deemed he must be siding with


    Cameron because she didn’t perceive any help from him. Initially, everything was going ording to


    the n, and things wouldn’t have ended up in such an awkward situation if it wasn’t because of


    Matthias’ sudden interruption.


    “Help Stark Group? I shall thank you then. Thanks for escting the alreadyplicated situation in


    Stark Group,” Myra mocked. She felt her blood boil when she heard Matthias’ apathetic tone.


    Perceiving the displeasure in Myra’s voice, Matthias smiled awkwardly and said, “It seems like my


    action of purchasing Stark Group’s shares has really angered you.”


    Myra red coldly at Matthias and thought he was talking crap. She was so pissed off that she didn’t


    even feel like having a chat with himter anymore.


    “But I’ll never forget someone once said to me that she wished to improve her rtionship with her


    father. I’m afraid it’ll be toote to regret it if things are pushed too far,” Matthias said unaffectedly while


    the smile on his face became even smugger.


    Myra was shocked hearing Matthias’ words. Something shed through her mind and she seemed to


    have recalled some stuff, but when she consciously tried to recall it, her mind went nk again.


    When Matthias saw Myra’s stunned look, his smile vanished as some memory resurfaced in his mind.


    The good times they once had together had passed, but he had yet to find a way to resolve his


    distress.


    “I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Myra mumbled while standing up and sorting out the


    documents on her desk. She was not in the mood to work anymore at this point of time, so she would


    rather find a quiet ce and have a proper conversation with Matthias.


    “Nothing. I’m just talking nonsense.” Matthias looked like a graceful gentleman once again with his


    expression turning serious.


    “I’m done with my work. Where shall we go?” Myra asked Matthias while wearing a serious look too as


    she intended to make this talk formal.


    “Wherever you want to go.” Matthias wanted to respect Myra’s opinion.


    “I’m sure Director Locke has an idea. I’m fine with anywhere as long as it’s not harmful to the baby.”


    Myra deliberately mentioned her fetus. She was speechless at the thought of Matthias carelessly


    inviting her to have coffee.


    “There’s a dessert house next to Stark Group and they serve pretty good desserts. Shall we go there?”


    Someone had brought Matthias to the dessert house before when he visited Stark Groupst time.


    Come to think of it, he had a thing for desserts due to some memories in the past.


    “Sure.” Myra was fine with having desserts.


    With that, two of them left Stark Group together. Naturally, there were passers-by gossiping about them


    but Myra and Matthias were not bothered with them at all. When Cameron knew the two went out


    together, a cunning smile spread across his face. Everything’s developing ording to my n.


    Hopefully what follows will be smooth too.


    The dessert house was within walking distance from thepany, and it was desirable for Myra, a


    pregnant woman, to walk more. The dessert house had a few cosy private rooms which could only


    amodate two to three guests, and they were deeply favored by couples. Besides, there were also


    some close friends who would spend their entire afternoon in the private rooms.


    Myra darted a nce at the menu and said casually, “Please give me a Tiramisu.”


    Matthias gazed at her and mumbled softly to himself, “Even her taste has changed.”


    “Huh?” Myra asked in curiosity as she didn’t hear Matthias clearly.


    “Nothing. It’s better for pregnant women to stay away from Tiramisu.” Matthias smiled and said to the


    server, “Please give me a slice of dreamy fruit cake. This is a better choice for pregnant women. And


    less cream please.”


    Myra stared at Matthias in confusion. Why is he making decisions for me? And what the heck is


    ‘dreamy fruit cake’? It sounds so disgusting. I bet only young girls will order this kind of cake!


    “Trust me. It’s nice even though the name is rather corny.” Matthias winked at Myra and smiled.


    His action once again triggered Myra’s memory deep down. What a familiar action. There’s only one


    person who would do that, and the person is…
