Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 46

As soon as she entered the car, the cool air slightly alleviated the summer heat.

The man in the car leaned against the backseat with his eyes closed. He had a rather wide forehead

and a straight nose; although his deep, narrow eyes were shut, it did not hide his handsome features.

His physique and facial features made him look like a foreigner, which radiated an aura of elegance in

each and every movement of his.

Upon hearing Myra’s words, Tony opened his eyes and he slightly nodded without even shooting her a

glance.

However, he suddenly turned to look at her. “How did this happen?” He stretched his long, slender

hands and touched her chin, which now showed red terrifying fingerprints.

Tony frowned slightly as his gaze became colder.

Myra was shocked by what she saw. Even though his fingers had only lightly touched her chin, she felt

as though she had been scorched and turned away reflexively. “It’s nothing,” she replied in a low voice.

When she turned, her fair neck was revealed and it further emphasized the redness on her chin.

Tony’s eyes reflected his hesitancy about the matter, but the stiffness around his lips revealed his anger

at that moment. Even without Myra’s explanation, he could roughly guess what had happened.

Leo merely felt that the temperature in the car had further decreased. Suddenly, he felt the vibration

from the phone in his pocket. After he learned what had happened, he quickly stopped the car and

went to a nearby pharmacy. When he returned, he had a bag in his hands that he passed to Myra.

“Miss Stark, here is some ointment for your injuries. The pharmacist said that it’s quite effective.”

Myra froze before she took the ointment from him. “Thank you, Leo.”

He had been planning to drive Tony to the Hart Residence, which was located in the mansion region of

Southern Hill. Since the Chase Residence was also in the same neighborhood, it was considered on

the way for them.

Throughout the drive, she felt quite anxious. She had initially expected Tony to ask a lot of questions,

but he merely closed his eyes to rest. She was not someone who would take the initiative to start a

conversation, so silence fell between them. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Until they were close to arriving at Southern Hill, he slowly opened his eyes with a tinge of indifference

that people rarely understood. “You don’t have anything that you would like to ask me?”

Myra’s body slightly jolted.

Perhaps she did not understand Tony’s character well, but she was clear about one fact—the Chase

Residence was not on the way from the Hart Group to the Southern Hill. Hence, Tony definitely had

something to tell her for him to meet her ‘coincidentally’. However, after such a long time, he did not

ask a single question about the plagiarism that she was involved in. Is he already so confident? Or is it

just a polite excuse when they say that the Hart Group will look into it?

“Director Hart…” Myra looked at him with uneasiness, but he merely took out a cigarette and lit it.

Soon, smoke spread in the car. As Tony’s expression was half-shrouded in the smoke, his handsome

face looked even more indifferent. She gritted her teeth as she thought, He’s probably the only person

who could help me now. If he believes in me… “Director Hart, I did not plagiarize the design from Hay

Group. The design that I brought over today is not done by me either.”

When she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, but there was no reaction from him.

Myra’s heart sank. Well, there’s no reason for him to believe me unconditionally, is there?

She merely smiled. Just as she was about to turn, she heard his low voice. “Well, I would rather hope

that you were the one who drew those drawings.”

His gentle voice was slightly muffled. Although it sounded as light as the smoke in the car, her body

stiffened upon hearing that.

After Tony extinguished the cigarette in an ashtray, he turned and looked straight into Myra’s eyes with

his indifference. “I have a way to investigate the truth.”

Myra froze before she dug her fingernails into her palms. “Really?”

“Yes.” Tony nodded simply.

Myra tightly clenched her fists. I knew it! I knew he had some ways! With his help, I believe that the

accusation of me plagiarizing will be cleared!

Tears welled up in her eyes as she anxiously looked at the man in front of her. “What is it?”

Upon seeing her anxious expression, Tony slightly smiled with a twinkle in his eyes that disappeared

almost immediately. However, he calmly shook his head at her. “Relax; I do have some ways to clear

your name. But, how would you repay me?”

“R-Repay?” Before she could digest the joy she felt, she felt uneasy when she heard what he said.

At that moment, there seemed to be a fire in his profound eyes. It was not a strong fire—instead, it was

a rather small flame that consistently burned—but the more it looked harmless, the deeper she sank

into it. Her back stiffened as she understood what he meant. “H-How would you like me to repay you,

Director Hart?”

“How about marrying me?” Tony said lazily as he stared into her eyes. Then, he suddenly turned and

leaned into his seat.

He sounded like he was joking, but at the same time, it sounded like he meant his words. It was rather

confusing to determine what he truly meant.

Myra merely felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She opened and closed her

mouth multiple times as she was unsure on what to respond. After knowing that there was a way to

clear her name, her excitement was doused by a bucket of cold water upon hearing his suggestion.

She took a deep breath and replied dryly, “Director Hart, this joke is not funny at all. I’m already married

and I know you have a woman whom you love deeply.”

She placed her tightly clenched fists on each side of her body.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the car seemed tense.

Just as Myra thought the awkward atmosphere was about to be prolonged, Tony suddenly asked,

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t watch my interview? How did you know that I have a woman whom I

love?”

He looked at her with a half-smirk on his face and he seemed to have a gentle look in his eyes.

Myra immediately blushed.

Back then, when she stayed over at his place, he had asked about her thoughts on the interview when

he sent her home the next day. However, she nervously gave an excuse that she had not watched the

video. At that time, she was unaware that she would be exposed today. She quickly explained, “I didn’t

watch it back then, but since many people have watched it, everyone in Chase Group is talking about

it. I initially didn’t know about it, but now I do.”

“Is that so?” The smile on Tony’s face clearly illustrated his doubts on her explanation.

With a nervous expression on her face, Myra stiffly nodded.

However, Tony suddenly laughed out loud.

Usually, he was stern and serious. Even when he smiled, it would be a slight and cold one. It was her

first time seeing him laugh out loud. The usual indifference disappeared from his eyes, making him look

more warm and jovial, which had shocked her.

Unfortunately, Tony’s laughter quickly ceased. His eyes narrowed as he turned away from her. “Well,

then come back to the Hart Residence with me. Grandpa has something to discuss with me. After our

discussion, I’ll send you home. This time, I will clear your name.”

With that, he closed his eyes again; he was obviously not giving her any chance to reject his offer.

Myra opened her mouth, but she closed it with a complicated expression moments later. Director Hart

has a woman he loves. Even though I don’t know who she is, I bet she’s as perfect as him. Only

someone like her can match his status.

She tried to suppress the peculiar feeling within her as she thought, I’m just going back to the Hart

Residence with him. Perhaps he has some urgent matters to discuss. Apart from that, he also

promised that he will send me home after he’s done with the discussion.
