Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 181

It was within Tony’s expectation that Myra would not attend Bradfort City’s Road to Success Conference that was organized by Bradfort University. In the morning, he dropped her off at the entrance of Stark Group. When he thought of the man he was going to meet soon, he suddenly pulled her back awkwardly as she was about to get out of the car. “Give me a kiss.”

“Huh?” Before she had time to react, a kiss was swiftly placed on her lips. At the same time, she heard the sound of a camera shutter.

Feeling bittersweet, she wanted to stay and embrace the man who was leaning over.

When she saw the burning look in his eyes, she smirked and leaned forward to kiss him. “Why did you have to take a photo secretly?”

“No reason. I want to keep this moment as a memory.”

The pompous man returned her a serious expression and fiddled with his phone for a bit. When he looked up and saw that she was still in her seat, he asked, “Why haven’t you gone to work yet?”

Feeling slightly offended by his indifferent tone, she sent him a glare and muttered, “Hypocrite.”

As she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly held her back by the waist. “I’m a hypocrite?”

He had a dangerous look in his eyes as he narrowed them.

Myra blinked at him. Her eyelashes fluttered for a moment. She pursed her lips then said, “When you want me at night, you’re as gentle as water in your coaxing and lying, but after you get what you want, you become indifferent. What are you if not a hypocrite?”

His eyebrows raised slightly when she talked back to him. Lowering his head, he forced a smile and looked into her big eyes. His voice sounded dubious and low. “Who was the one who begged me last night? Hmm? Am I the only hypocrite, Miss Two-face?”

He had a cheeky look in his eyes while her face turned red in an instant.

Hearing a low chuckle come from in front of her, she felt slightly annoyed and shot him another glare. “Let me go, Tony. Don’t you have to attend the Bradfort City’s Road to Success Conference or something today? If you delay any longer, you’ll be the hotshot youth of Bradfort City!”

“Can’t I be a hotshot?” he retorted. Leaning down, he kissed her on the lips.

The light minty scent on his lips mixed with the scent of his aftershave intoxicated her and almost made her lose control of herself. She gripped the seat cushion and suddenly pushed him away. Her cheeks were flushed. “Yes, yes. You can be a hotshot. Bradfort City won’t be able to find someone more suited to be a hotshot than you!”

“Are you humoring me?” His eyes narrowed again.

Myra really wanted to show the people who thought Tony was cold and heartless this moment when his IQ was negative. She kissed the corner of his lips gently. That kiss felt like she was going along with him. She coaxed softly, “Call me when you finish at noon. It’s Saturday today. How about I spend the afternoon with you?”

The remark toward the end tamed his emotions. He bit her lips again. “You have to call me in the morning! You’re not allowed to ignore my texts!”

As he looked straight into her eyes, a vague emotion flickered across his eyes.

“Why?” She was slightly surprised.

“No reason.” He was already motioning for her to get out of the car.
