Chapter 157
“How can I have something as dirty as a connection with the Stark Group?” Tilly raised an eyebrow at
Myra while smirking. She shook her finger with a cheeky smile, pretending to be mysterious. “I might
not have any connection with the Stark Group, but I have a connection with the Hart Group!” When she
mentioned ‘the Hart Group’, her eyes practically shone with delight. She seemed like she could barely
restrain herself from gossiping and quickly wrapped herself around Myra. “Miss Stark, I’ll tell you the
truth. Mr. Hart is the one who asked me to come and help you! Haha! He personally offered me a
salary! Because of that, I’m receiving a double salary! How could I turn down such a great offer?!
Therefore, I made an unscrupulous decision to take up this sacred mission!”
Looking at Tilly’s excitement, Myra felt her face burning with embarrassment. Even so, her heart felt
warm inside. That man is always thinking about me. Knowing how stubborn I can be, he is probably
worried that I won’t tell him about any problem I may encounter here. That’s why he asked Tilly to come
and help me out. She had to admit that having somebody helping her inside the Stark Group was truly
a blessing. At the very least, she didn’t need to keep her guard up against outsiders all the time.
“Miss Stark, shouldn’t you come clean with me too? Are you and Mr. Hart in a relationship?” Tilly
squinted slightly as she studied Myra with an ambiguous look. She had noticed the feelings Tony had
for Myra since a long while back. For that reason, she had immediately called him for help when Myra
had been falsely accused back then. She wanted him to understand Myra’s situation so that he could
lend a hand. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Myra blushed crimson. Clearing her throat, she walked in the direction of her desk. “I guess you can
say that.”
“Wow! You’re blushing so hard, Miss Stark!” Tilly made a cute gesture with her hands, shaping her
hands into a flower shape and placing her chin on them. “To be honest, I knew even without you telling
me. Before I came upstairs today, I saw you from afar. You were inside a black Maybach with a man
sitting next to you. I’m sure that must have been Director Hart!”
Although she knew about the previous relationship between Myra and Sean, she didn’t think much
about it. At any rate, Myra is already divorced from Sean; she is free to love anybody she wants.
Besides, I’ve always felt that Myra and Tony are a better match for each other. Seeing the two of them
together always reminded her of a fairytale romance, and it always made her happy inside.
Myra knew she couldn’t conceal anything from Tilly. Thus, she might as well admit to it. She glared at
Tilly and said, “Why are you asking me when you already know?!”
Tilly grinned like a cat that ate the canary. “Oh, my! You seem so blissful nowadays, Miss Stark! It feels
completely different from when you were working at the Chase Group!”
“Really? I don’t feel any different from before,” Myra stubbornly said, but she was secretly smiling
inside. She knew—it was truly different from before.
…
Soon, Myra and Tilly became engrossed in their work.
Cameron did not go overboard either. Knowing that Myra’s assistant was also a newcomer, he let Myra
choose a few people to assist her so that she could quickly get acquainted with her work in the
company. Thus, she chose Genevieve Miller, the current deputy director of the Design Department, to
help her. Genevieve was a long-term employee that had been working in the company for more than 10
years.
Working throughout the entire morning, Myra and Tilly gradually threw themselves into the work and
finally came out of the archives at 5 PM. They were analyzing the recent Elsinore Garden Project under
the Stark Group as they walked.
Myra was discussing the issue seriously when Tilly suddenly tugged at her sleeve and indicated for her
to look at the people around them. She frowned and looked at her surroundings. At some point after
they left the archives, people around them started watching them while whispering among themselves
with expressions of envy, jealousy, and amazement.
“Miss Stark, did something happen today?” Just as Tilly finished her question, they passed through the
Project Department and entered the Design Department. Compared to the complicated expressions
they saw in the Project Department, the employees of the Design Department were all smiles.
Genevieve walked over to Myra and smilingly joked, “Thank you for the kindness your mysterious
boyfriend showed us, Miss Stark.” After saying that, she winked at Myra playfully.
Before Myra could understand what was going on, Tilly let out a ‘Wow!’ and ran over to her desk. Like
the desks of the other employees at the Design Department, her desk was covered with a bunch of
stuff, including female skincare products, various mouth-watering chocolates, and even some items
that most females liked to use. All the items were exquisite. Although they were not particularly
luxurious, the effort in preparing them was clear—the items prepared were different for women of
different ages. Moreover, most of the men received items that could be given to their parents, wives, or
daughters. It was extremely considerate of the person who prepared the presents.
Myra was stunned by the sight before her. Then, Genevieve gave her a little push in the direction of her
office. “Hurry up and take a look at your office.”
Tilly had already opened her chocolates and was helping herself to them. Meanwhile, Myra walked
toward her office in a daze. She already had a glimpse of what was awaiting her inside before she even
neared her office. It was even more elaborate than what was on her colleagues’ desks outside.
Chocolate bouquets were spread all over the carpet and every inch of her office was dotted with
flowers—her entire office was decorated to look like a sea of flowers.
When Myra arrived at the entrance of her office, a woman angrily stormed out of her office. It was Kris,
who had an ugly expression on her face. As soon as she caught sight of Myra, the flames burning in
her eyes shone even brighter. She fiercely pushed against Myra’s shoulder. “Myra, why are you being
so ostentatious?! Are you so worried that others are unaware that you’ve gotten together with another
disgusting man even though you’re newly divorced?! I’ve met many used goods, but I’ve never met one
as shameless as you before!”
Kris moved to leave. However, Myra narrowed her eyes and spoke in a voice that stopped Kris in her
tracks. “Stop!”
“Why should I stop just because you ask me to?” Kris sneered. “Don’t forget; you and I are on equal
footing!”
After that, Kris turned around. In response, Myra replied calmly, “I only wanted to remind the Project
Department Director, who is on ‘equal footing’ with me, that my office is not somewhere you can enter
as you please. It will be awkward if anything goes missing from my office.”
“You!” Kris was livid that Myra had announced the presence of her boyfriend through such an
extravagant display as soon as she entered the company. Putting so much effort into it… Isn’t she just
trying to win the hearts of the people?!
Just now, she even heard the employees in her department saying, “I can’t believe Miss Myra managed
to attract another man so soon after her divorce. Moreover, he is so considerate to send all these items
to us. It looks like her second marriage is going to be better than the first.” What do you mean by ‘her
second marriage is going to be better than the first’?! Myra is a divorcee! Who would be interested in a
divorcee like her except for widowers looking to remarry or men who are too unsightly to look at?!
Thus, she sneered insultingly, “Myra, all these items and the man who sent you to work this morning…
Could it all be part of your own design? Did you deliberately put on a show of being courted by another
man right after your divorce since it’s embarrassing to be a divorcee? Tsk. Myra, that’s just pathetic.
How do you even come up with these desperate ideas?”
“You’re the pathetic one. Do you know who Miss Stark’s current boyfriend is?!” Tilly noticed that
something wasn’t quite right. Hence, she hurriedly rushed over to help.
“Hmph. I’m curious to see just who it is!” Kris folded her arms in front of her chest.
Tilly was about to reveal Tony’s name when Myra casually stopped her. “Tilly, the more she wants to
know, the less you should tell her.”
Tilly seemed to mull over it for a moment before coming to a realization. Then, she looked at Kris with a
mocking smile. “You’re just jealous of Miss Myra. Well, that’s only to be expected. After all, the identity
of her mysterious boyfriend is something you can only be envious of!”
