Chapter 6 Does Director Hart Fancy Anyone Now?

  • A disgusting feeling surged inside Myra. The woman in front of me is what Sean likes—a stupid hypocrite with a sharp tongue. Sean would rather look for her than to look for me. I wonder how much he actually hates me for him to hurt my pride to that extent!
  • "Myra, you B*tch dare to slap me!"
  • "Stop spewing nonsense." Myra endured the dizzy spell and said firmly. "I was equally shocked when the blueprint was chosen. I was discussing the draft with Director Hart during dinner last night. Maybe you would like to demonstrate how to attract his attention? You said that you are the leader of Team B, but have you ever produced any proper designs? If you don't have the capability to design, do something that is within your capabilities! Nobody will stand in your way."
  • It had been known to all that Elsie was appointed as the leader of Team B by relying on Director Chase. Therefore, Myra's words—if you don't have the capability to design, do something that is within your capabilities—was akin to giving Elsie a slap, which caused the latter's expression to instantly fall. "You... Myra... you..."
  • "Why is everyone standing around here? Don't you guys have any work to do?" The sudden low, harsh voice broke the atmosphere—it was Sean, who had arrived at the Design Department without anyone's notice.
  • With his tall build and stern expression, he radiated an air of authority. His appearance itself had caused the crowd to disperse and return to their respective work space, leaving only Myra and Elsie.
  • Upon seeing Sean, tears of aggrievement instantly swam in Elsie's eyes. She then ran to him and pulled his hand.
  • "Sea—Director Chase, you must stand up for me. I only asked Myra about the incident last night when she went to the Hart Group to discuss the Sunny Bay Project and why she didn't inform me about it. Not only did she scold me for not having the necessary skills and capabilities to be worthy of becoming the leader of Team B, she even slapped me..."
  • She looked pitiful when she bit on her lip because it was coupled with her slightly reddened eyes and the red slapping mark on her face.
  • Myra touched her forehead and it felt even hotter than earlier.
  • Without waiting for Sean's reply, since it was impossible for him to stand on her side, she sat down, retrieved her draft, and continued with her calculations.
  • "I'll go with you after work to buy the bag you desired before." His deep yet deliberately gentle voice was clearly heard from above her.
  • When Myra, who was working on her draft, heard his words, the pen which she held in her hand stopped moving as her eyes suddenly became warm. It turns out that even though I have long known the outcome, it still breaks my heart when I hear him consoling Elsie.
  • Elsie was initially unwilling to let it slide, but when Sean consoled her again with his low voice and coaxed her, she finally left.
  • After she left, he walked up to Myra and tapped on her desk a few times. "Mom has asked us to return together tonight. Don't leave without me after work later." Hints of impatience replaced the gentleness in his tone earlier.
  • "I have some things to do tonight." She rejected him without a second thought.
  • "What things?" Sean frowned.
  • "About work." Myra said briefly.
  • "Director Chase, if you have nothing else to talk about, please take your leave. I can't attend to you as I still have other matters to deal with." Myra asked him to leave as Sean remained standing still.
  • Upon hearing that, Sean's expression darkened extremely. He appraised her with a cold gaze before he snorted. "Do as you please!" he said before he left.
  • Looking at his disappearing back view, Myra took a deep breath to ease the suffocating feeling that she felt in her heart.
  • ......
  • When it was time to leave the office, Myra continued to work overtime in the office to refine the drafts.
  • She had looked into Tony's background, which included his past projects in real estate, in an attempt to dig out some useful information—for instance, his preferred architectural style—so that she could incorporate those elements into her design.
  • In the process, she happened to stumble across a short video about him, which was actually filmed this morning. He wore a black immaculate suit that accentuated his tall, slender figure while his long legs were crossed in a casual manner and his handsome face was impassive. The viewers were easily able to grasp his unique aura through the video.
  • The earlier part of the video was all about Tony's career development. Toward the final part, the host wore a playful smile as she asked, "Director Hart, the last question is a personal one. Of course, I am not the only curious one. I think all the single females in front of their screens are just as inquisitive about it. Here is the question—Does Director Hart fancy anyone now??"
  • The moment she asked the question, the scene instantly fell silent since nobody expected the host to ask such a question.
  • Everyone initially thought that he would not answer such a lame question, but Tony unexpectedly replied, "Not now."
  • The host could not make head or tail of his reply and she fell into a fleeting daze. However, she immediately made sense of his words and pressed on with excitement, "In other words, Director Hart, you have a person whom you have liked for a long time. Are you currently in a relationship with the said person? As far as I know, you are still single. Does this mean that you have a secret crush on this person?"
