Chapter 14
Standing Before Love
He was stunned to see that. At that moment, Tony had already risen to his full height and took the black suit that was placed aside before he walked out of the room.
As Myra left Zion Club, she wondered whether the fever medicine she took was effective since her head still felt unwell. Hence, she walked to the reception area and sat there to rest.
She touched her forehead that was burning hot. When she thought about resting a while more before she left, a group of people walked into the club as a man wearing a gray suit led them. His well-
trimmed sideburns made him seem cold. On top of that, his handsome yet impassive face was one that she knew well.
I never expected that Sean would also come with his childhood friends to Zion Club as well.
Each of them were obviously regulars of Zion Club and had a sexy woman in their embrace respectively, but the one whom Sean was hugging was slightly more shy. She wore a white dress and her makeup was just right. When she cuddled in his embrace, she looked docile and weak.
Myra was caught off-guard by what she saw and she immediately stood up, but before she could turn, someone in Seanâs group noticed her and spoke something to him.
Then, Seanâs face immediately darkened. After releasing the woman in his embrace, he walked over to Myra with a displeased expression on his face.
At that moment, Myra took her purse from the couch and she planned to walk out of the club from the other exit. However, someone held her wrist from behind.
âWhat the hell are you doing here?â
Sean had already arrived behind her. .
He spoke in a cold voice, but she only felt the pain in her hands from his grip.
She turned to face him indifferently and glanced sideways at the woman dressed in white, who was looking at them morosely. Sheâs making me look like Iâm the mistress here! She smiled self-mockingly.
âMy reason for being here is the same as yours.â
Seanâs expression immediately changed as his gaze became much sharper. âYou said that you have something up tonightâand that is to mess around in Zion?â Mess around?
Myra smiled, but there was warm moisture in her eyes. âWhy? Are you the only one allowed to have fun with other women here? And I canât do that as well? Sean Chase, why do you have the right to fool around with a different woman everyday, yet Iâm expected to stay loyal in our marriage? Have you ever thought about my feelings when you are with other women?â
Perhaps Estelleâs words that night had caused Myra to be sensitiveâshe could no longer control her emotions. As soon as she remembered the way Sean looked at her with hatred even after she had quietly waited for him to return for two years, she could not endure it anymore.
However, he merely thought that she was jealous of the woman in his embrace earlier, so he unknowingly softened his expression, though his voice was still stiff. âThat woman... She is just an act. I donât even know her.â
âWhatever...â
Together with the headache and dizziness that she had, Myra felt disappointed in that instant and shook Seanâs hands away harshly.
As a surge of dizziness overcame her, she almost lost her balance. However, he caught her just in time and he frowned when he saw her flushed face. âYouâre having a fever? Iâll send you back.â
âDonât bother!â
Seanâs face darkened. âMyra, donât push my limits!â
Myra shook his hands away once again, but with tears and laughter this time. âIâm such an unreasonable woman! Why donât you console your other woman? I bet sheâs been sullenly waiting for you for such a long time.â
It was perhaps because of the despair in her eyes that influenced Sean. His breathing quickened as he wanted to help her to her feet again, but her phone rang at that moment.
Myra stopped looking at him and she took out her phone. She answered the call without even a glance at the caller. âHello. Whoâs this?â
There was a sob in her voice, but she masked it well with her tone. After taking her purse, she exited Zion Club, much to Seanâs silence.
âMiss Stark, Iâm Director Hartâs secretary, Leo. Weâve met before.â
On the other end of the phone, a spine ran down Leoâs spine as he feigned anxiousness while speaking to Myra through the phone in front of his director.
âLeo, is there anything I can help you with?â She quickly recollected her emotions and asked in a low voice.
In the night breeze, she walked to her car in the parking lot with a heavy feeling in her head, but her body felt like it weighed feathers. When she suddenly received his call, she thought it was related to the Sunny Bay Project.
