Chapter 448


    Noticing how quickly they were picking things up, Sharon decided to teach them another form of flower


    arrangement. Both of them were agreeable and paid full attention to her ss with enthusiasm.


    The two girls who were chatting away happily earlier were now quiet all of a sudden. Flower


    arrangement was something which could cultivate a person’s temper and calm down a troubled heart.


    asionally, both of them would exchange looks at each other, but they were mainly focused on the


    work in their hands as they followed the instructions diligently and appeared to be doing a very good


    job. Heather seemed to be more gifted, and even Myra was a little ashamed. Still, they both enjoyed


    the process very much and looked like they were in high spirits.


    When they were finished with their work, a satisfied smile spread on their faces. Myra turned to look at


    Heather, and they both let out a small breath. One should focus fully in order to get something done


    well.


    “That’s all for today. Both of you pick things up very quickly,” Sharon said politely. If all her students


    were as smart as them, then she would have less troubles.


    After Sharon left, Heather moved in closer to Myra. Time seemed to be flying, and it was already


    lunchtime.


    “Let’s go out for lunch,” she suggested, feeling a little hungry.


    Myra nodded in reply. Both of them had very simr tastes in food, so it was not a problem to be eating


    together, and they both liked the food which the other had ordered.


    While eating, they chatted away, and Myra had a gut feeling that Heather was hiding something from


    her. However, since Heather didn’t open up, she didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask about it. Perhaps if


    she paid a little more attention, she would be able to figure it out, and she casually asked her what was


    up with her recently.


    “Did you meet up with the partners recently?” Myra asked in concern. She wasn’t a nosy-parker, but


    she was unable to suppress her curiosity.


    Maybe only matters which concerned Heather were able to trigger her curiosity. If it was somebody


    else, she wouldn’t give two hoots about it.


    “I’m thinking of meeting them in the afternoon.” Looking at her te, Heather noticed that Myra had


    picked quite a lot of food off her te, and she also felt that something was amiss with Myra,


    wondering what was on her mind.


    Chatting away happily, Heather had basically told Myra everything that happened to her recently,


    except the part regarding Matthias. On the other hand, it didn’t sound like anything was out of the norm


    to Myra, and she thought that she must have been oversensitive.


    An enjoyable afternoon passed by just like that, and even though Heather had to return to the office


    after lunch, she wasn’t in that much of a rush.


    Hence, as she nced at her watch and calcted her timing, she said to Myra, “After dropping you off


    at the florist, I’ll be just in time to return to the office.”


    After all the hassle, she drove back to the office, and many employees were still taking their afternoon


    nap when she returned. Sneaking back to her own office, she then saw that there was a pile of


    documents on her desk, and she felt a deep sense of lethargy.


    Today was another busy day, and she was long used to this as she quickly switched into her working


    mode. It seemed that there were more issues after she returned to Bradfort; there seemed no end to it


    as she went through them one by one.


    Dragging her sluggish body, probably because she hadn’t been sleeping well recently, Heather rubbed


    her temples. There was something amiss with the way Myra was looking at her today, but she had


    purposely acted as though she was in high spirits. Hopefully, she didn’t realize anything unusual, she


    prayed.


    Her head started to throb at the thought that Myra would eventually find out about her rtionship with


    Matthias in the future, and she wondered how Myra would think about it at that time.


    Keeping away her disarrayed thoughts, she sank back into work mode because there was still a bunch


    of work left for her to do. ke was rather good at making good use of people; he was the one who


    asked Heather over to be in charge of a certain project. As it turned out, he dumped all other irrelevant


    chores on her as well.


    She stared at the menial tasks on her right in annoyance, knowing that he was pushing irrelevant work


    on her to dy her time. What a chore, she thought.


    This project was the biggest project for Langston Group at the moment, and she really couldn’t spare


    any attention to deal with other work. Still, ke had deliberately made things difficult for her in this


    manner.


    Now, he waspletely ignoring the interests of thepany, and she had no idea what was on his


    mind that he just had to put her down in front of others before he would give up.


    Meanwhile, Myra was still at the florist, attending to the nts and flowers to soothe her mind and


    body. Recently, she had sloughed her heart out for Stark Group and devoted herself to work. It had


    been a long while since she could rx sofortably just as now.


    Looking at the flowers in her hand, the arc on her lips blossomed into a contented smile. Rxing


    asionally helped to focus on work the next day.


    Today, she had simply decided not to think about Stark Group but attend to the flowers in her florist. In


    the end, she was even smelling like flowers.


    The scent of the flowers drifted into her nose, and she took a deep breath. Then, she suddenly thought


    of the big,fortable bed at home. It must befortable to sleep in it, she thought. The whole day,


    she was taking things so slow that she felt a littlezy.


    What’s Tony up to now? she wondered as she continued attending to the flowers in her hands. He said


    that he’ll pick me up in the evening to go home together.


    Myra liked a life like this day by day, and she couldn’t get used to days without Tony. As though stuck to


    each other, Tony would avoid business trips and stay by her side at all times.


    The afternoon sun poured through the window, and she squinted her eyes, deciding to take a break in


    her private room. In this season with such weather, one could grow drowsy easily.


    There was a small room above the florist. Besides some misceneous items, a small space was


    specially built to ce a soft bed so that she could catch a break there.


    Of course, this bed was only for her while the employees downstairs would catch their break on a


    couch, and they wouldn’t touch this bed unless there was a special situation.


    Not anyone should use her personal item, and she felt incredibly at ease when she was lying on the


    bed. Surrounded by the scent of flowers, it was as though she was sleeping in a garden full of flowers,


    and the decorations of the small space were very cozy.


    All of this was designed by Tony; he would consider everything for her. Ever since she had him, she


    had almost turned into a useless person.


    Tony took care of almost everything for her. With him around, she didn’t have to worry about anything.


    More and more, she relied on him, and she sometimes wondered whether it was a good thing.


    However, this was a good thing from the way Tony saw it because he liked to be someone she could


    rely on, and he liked to prepare everything for her appropriately.


    Without realizing, she slipped into dreand, and in her dream, she went back to being young. Back


    then, she and Heather were in their youthful selves, and Myra still looked innocent.


    A boy appeared in her dream, and she wanted to take a good look at his face. But no matter how hard


    she tried, it appeared very blurry, so she couldn’t see it. After that, she started chasing behind him with


    all her might. Still, she couldn’t reach him.


    She was only one step away from him, but she couldn’t even grasp the edge of his shirt even when she


    reached out her hand, and a deep sense of sorrow washed over her.


    The dream turned more suffocating, and the initial sounds ofughter became the destion of being


    alone under the rain on a rainy day.


    Struggling, Myra woke up. Why a sudden nightmare during daytime? she wondered, wiping away the


    sweat on her forehead. The boy in my dream… Was there really such a boy in my younger days?


    Although she was suspicious about it, there was no one who could answer her. Not even Heather had


    mentioned that boy before. Maybe Heather was hiding something from her, or maybe she was


    overthinking things. Regardless, she wanted to make this matter clear.


    After waking up, she was unsettled and could no longer stay in the florist. If she went to the Langston


    Group now, she would definitely disturb Heather. After much contemtion, she decided to go to Hart


    Group in the end. Seeing Tony’s face when she was feeling uneasy would make her feel much better.


    Right now, Tony was hard at work as he had a lot of work waiting for him. Recently, the workload had


    been increasing, and even Tony felt a little overwhelmed. Ever since Matthias arrived in Bradfort, the


    industry hadn’t been stable at all.


    Tony had to look at him in a new light, and his guts told him that he didn’te with kind intentions, or


    he was justing at the Harts. While he didn’t think that Matthias was working against the Harts, the


    reality was taking an incredibly surprising turn.


    The industry in Bradfort had always been a storm, and the peace before another storm hit always


    struck one with panic. Even though he had always been indifferent about it, he couldn’t sit still without

    doing anything when faced with the unknown dangers.


    Many things were waiting for him to get done, and he would never put the Hart Group at risk. Even if


    there was a slight possibility, he would take prevention measures ahead of time.


    When Myra pushed the door open, Tony was reading the document in his hand with a frown, but when


    their eyes met, he immediately broke into a smile.


    “Myra.” At first, when he didn’t know who it was, he was about to throw his temper, but it turned out that


    Myra was the visitor.


    “I was bored at the florist, so I came to look for you,” she said, quicklying up with an excuse.


    So she could get bored staying at the florist as well, he thought with a raised brow. Still, he was


    pleased to have her around here.


    Meanwhile, Myra went straight to the couch. As she was already familiar with the ce, she didn’t see


    the need to be that formal with him.


    “Have you been very busy recently?” Her heart calmed down the moment she saw him, and she felt at


    ease whenever she looked at him.


    Even if they were just chatting casually, she would feelfortable. No matter when it was, he was so


    stunning that it sparked jealousy, especially when he was concentrating at work. His charm was


    impossible to resist.


    After all, men looked the most dashing when they were serious at work, and she instantly became


    smitten with him as she stared at him.


    “No, there hasn’t been a free day in Hart Group,” he answered casually.


    “Your overwork timing is a little longer,” she pointed out. This was something she’d noticed for a while


    now, and from many other small details, she could tell that he was more busy at worktely.


    “There have been more menial issues recently. It will get better after this,” he replied, not nning to


    tell her about what was going on with the Hart Group.


    It wasn’t easy for her to deal with the problems at Stark Group on a daily basis, so all the more reason


    he shouldn’t let her worry about hispany. And besides, no matter what the problem and crisis was,


    Tony could take care of it all by himself.
