Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 216

Myra was standing outside the cake shop, and she was about to extend her hand to hail a cab when

somebody called out to her from behind, “Myra!”

Myra paused before she turned around to look calmly at the rich-looking woman in front of her. “Mrs.

Chase.”

Eve was sure that Myra must have heard most of her conversation with Elsie. She felt extremely

embarrassed for Myra to have heard their conversation, but she was mostly afraid. After a moment of

hesitation, she forced herself to speak with Myra anyway. “Myra… I hope that you would pretend as if

you haven’t heard what I discussed with Miss Foster earlier.” Currently, Myra is disgusted with the

Chase Family. I am also afraid that she might expose my relationship with Elsie to Lyla and things will

turn ugly if the latter causes a scene.

Myra regarded Eve’s anxious expression and she suddenly felt as though she was very stupid in the

past. How did I ever trust what Eve said when she’s clearly brushing me off by placating me verbally?

Myra’s lips curled slightly but it was barely a smile. “Mrs. Chase, you have nothing to worry about

because I am not interested in matters involving the Chase Family.” With that, she spun around to

leave but Eve grabbed her arm suddenly.

Myra looked back at Eve with a scowl, and the latter released her straight away with a complicated

expression. Truth was, Eve herself had no idea why she grabbed Myra all of a sudden. Eve’s lips

parted a few times and she finally asked quietly, “Myra, how have you been lately?”

“Mrs. Chase, I believe whether or not I’m doing well is none of your business.” Myra wouldn’t fall for

that anymore. She pulled her arm away from Eve’s grasp and marched forward. “Don’t worry; it’s none

of my business how many lovers or illegitimate children your son has. Rather than blocking my path for

being worried that I might expose the truth, it might be better for you to console the woman inside. She

seems to be planning to abort her unborn child.”

Honestly, both Eve and I know very well that Elsie is merely kicking up a fuss by claiming that she

wants an abortion. However, she would have done so straight away if that were truly what she wanted.

Why would she take the trouble to inform Eve? She is clearly trying to reap some benefits for herself by

relying on her unborn child. However, this is no longer my business. Elsie is at least four months

pregnant and it truly disgusts me. Based on the timeline, the child must have been conceived three

months ago, even before my divorce with Sean. At that time, I was still trying to salvage our marriage.

Nevertheless, does Eve truly believe that nobody will know that Elsie is pregnant with Sean’s child if I

don’t say anything to the public? Lyla will learn the truth as long as Elsie gives birth to the child and

based on what I know about Lyla, she will not let it go easily. My guess is that the situation will

eventually become a huge headache for Eve. With that thought, Myra smirked faintly.

Upon arriving at the Stark Group, Myra was just about to enter the elevator when she saw Kris walking

out of it with another man. The two of them appeared intimate but Kris’ expression darkened the

moment she saw Myra. She even snorted in disdain when she walked past. In the end, Kris finally left

unwillingly after the man tugged at her hand.

Once Myra arrived upstairs, Tilly approached her and whispered, “Miss Stark, a man stayed in that

woman’s office for ages today. She even locked her office door and drew the curtains. It went on for

three hours and by the time she walked out of the office, she seemed refreshed and glowing. The most

disgusting thing is that she acted as though she will never marry anybody else apart from Director Hart

yet here she is, sleeping with another man. She is truly shameless!” Naturally, Tilly was referring to Kris

as ‘that woman’.

Myra recalled the man she saw beside Kris at the elevator. He was tall and had a warm smile, and he

was relatively good looking too. Well, Kris would never marry a man who isn’t on par with Tony. Myra

patted Tilly’s shoulder but her emotions weren’t as affected as her assistant’s. I know Kris’ personality

well. One day, she will destroy herself by always thinking that she’s too smart.

In the afternoon, Myra packed her things after work before she went down stairs to hail a cab, planning

to head to the Stark Residence. The moment she exited the building, however, she saw an Audi parked

outside. The car door opened and a chauffeur emerged from the car. He gave Myra an once-over and

he greeted her lightly, “Miss Stark, I presume? Mrs. Stark instructed me to drive you home.”

He isn’t the previous chauffeur from Stark Residence. I suppose Rachel revamped the entire staff for

the Stark household. Myra laughed mirthlessly when she caught sight of the contemptuous look on the

chauffeur’s face. She then walked past him to hail a cab.

The chauffeur frowned unhappily as he called out, “Miss Stark, Mrs. Stark personally instructed me to

drive you home. You can’t possibly be so rude to Mrs. Stark, can you?”

Myra couldn’t even be bothered to answer him. The chauffeur’s expression soured immediately and he

was about to say something when they both heard the screeching of car brakes, followed by a loud

bang. Suddenly, a gold Aston Martin Taraf banged into Audi hard from behind. Then, a man, who was

wearing a bright yellow trench coat and a pair of shades, walked out of the front passenger seat.

“Myra, what a coincidence! How did you know that I’m here to pick you up? You even came out to wait

for me!” Elliot whistled as he approached Myra.

The chauffeur, who was standing behind Myra, appeared horrified. The Audi is a new purchase of the

Stark Family and it costs more than three million! “Hey, you—are you blind? Didn’t you see the car

parked in front of you? What are you trying to do? Do you think that you own the Stark Group? How

dare you—”

Elliot tossed a name card in the chauffeur’s direction casually. He seemed rather calm as he

commented, “That’s my lawyer’s business card. Discuss the compensation with him. Remember to

keep the card well; if you lose it, I’m afraid you’ll have to personally come up with the compensation.”

The chauffeur’s expression stiffened. He looked as though he wanted to continue cursing, but he knew

he had to prioritize. Hence, he grabbed at the business card hastily and kept it securely. Are you

kidding me? I will never be able to pay for the car even if I try to for the rest of my life.

Elliot then politely gestured for Myra to get into the car. “Myra, it is my honor to be your chauffeur for

the day as per Tony’s request.”

Myra finally smiled at him. She did not even spare the chauffeur another look; instead, she entered

Elliot’s sports car straight away. Meanwhile, the chauffeur, who was left behind, looked murderous as

he took his cell phone out to make a call.

“Thank you for your help today.” Myra smiled at Elliot, who was seated in front, once she got into the

car.

Elliot waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t mention it, Myra. Just remember to take my side and say

something nice in front of Tony if I were to anger him in the future.”

“As long as he listens to me.”

Myra felt content and satisfied when she thought of the close relationship Tony had with his childhood

friends. By including me into his social circle, I know that he values me. Elliot and the gang would

appear like bullies to those who do not know them. However, after getting close with them, it’s obvious

that they’re just concealing their shortcomings.

Myra and Elliot chatted along the way. When they were about to arrive at the Stark Residence, Elliot

drawled, “Myra, I heard that you have a very efficient assistant by your side. Previously, she worked

with you at the Chase Group. She followed you to the Stark Group when you returned, I believe? How

well do you know her, Myra?”

Myra assumed that he was concerned with the people she had around her, so she nodded at him. “Her

name is Tilly Quinn. Don’t worry; she is on my side. She knows Tony too and she is truly a good

person. In fact, she is a rather cheerful and friendly young girl.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Friendly and cheerful, you say?” Elliot repeated. He seemed to have recalled something because he

raised his brow while chuckling quietly. “Someone set her up last night and I was the one who sent her

to the hotel.”

Myra was astounded and it was only then that she remembered, Wasn’t Elliot the one who helped Tilly

up last night?
