Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

He continued in a calm manner, “I believe you are aware that it is extremely irresponsible for a designer not to personally attend a meeting regarding the project. The Hart Group is being lenient by merely bringing up this issue verbally.”

The figure, who was quickly marching away, suddenly came to a halt.

Myra’s back still faced Tony as she bit on her lip. That is true. A designer would not be able to express the data in the design draft without attending the meeting in person. He or she would not be able to provide opinions or advice in the editing if needed. However…

“I did not intend to miss the meeting.” She gritted her teeth while she turned to look at the man who had somehow stopped right behind her. Tony was taller than her by more than a foot, so she had to look up to gaze into his eyes. His eyes always have a sense of crisp to them, no matter when it is, just like Sean. He is an unfaithful man. Myra closed her eyes while speaking to him. “If I said that I did not attend the meeting because Miss Foster wouldn’t let me, would you believe me?” Her burning throat was hoarse and painful. However, it was nothing compared to the long wait that she had to endure.

Sean wants to punish me because he did not trust me. Well, that is understandable. With Elsie around, whatever I say will sound like an excuse for myself, no matter how hard I try to explain. Myra’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile when she arrived at that conclusion.

Tony stared at the fair, small face in front of him. Her eyes were tightly closed due to her anxiety and defiance. She looked like she was bracing herself to receive an unsavory answer from him. He gazed at her face and he noticed that her eyelashes were quivering like a pair of butterflies that were about to take off, causing his heart to painfully clench. “I believe you,” he answered her with a quiet voice.

“D-Do you… believe me?” Myra suddenly opened her eyes, which were wide open in disbelief.

Tony nodded while maintaining a cold and distant expression.” Why shouldn’t I believe you?”

“B-Because…” Her voice was screechy. She felt tears stinging her eyes and she did not know how to answer his question.
