Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 34

Elliot swallowed because he could already imagine his tragic end.

Everybody in the Hart Group all heard a heart-wrenching and desperate wail from the director’s office

today.

When Myra returned to the Chase Group, the atmosphere felt odd.

She could sense that people were discussing something, but they pretended that they were attending

to their own matters when she turned to look at them.

The strange atmosphere was even more intense when she returned to the Design Department.

Tilly approached Myra to give her the thumbs-up. “Miss Stark, you are awesome!”

Myra had an idea what Tilly was referring to, but she shook her head. “Fortunately, the Hart Group is

fair in these matters. Otherwise, I might not even get the project back no matter how I explain myself.”

Tilly scanned the office before whispering to Myra, “Miss Stark, you not only secured the Sunny Bay

Project. Did you know that Mr. Logan from the Hart Group phoned us earlier? He pointed out blatantly

while heavily hinting that the Chase Group has been irresponsible by sending a blockhead to work with

the Hart Group. After the business deal fell through, the blockhead had the audacity to blame

somebody else. Mr. Logan said that the Hart Group is willing to give Chase Group another chance.

However, the premise is that the producer of Chase Group’s design draft has to be the one in charge of

the project!”

Myra was astonished because she did not intend to spare Elsie’s dignity when she explained the whole

situation to Tony. However, it was her first time witnessing Tony’s forceful and vigorous actions. It was

like what the rumors said—he was merciless.

“The Hart Group has labeled Elsie as a ‘blockhead’! You should have seen her face… Oh, my God! It

was so entertaining!” Tilly added animatedly. “This is great! Miss Stark, you are in charge of this project

now. Elsie went into the Design Department Director’s office earlier and she was severely reprimanded.

I heard that the higher-ups are saying that the Design Department Director would be responsible to

resolve this issue. From where I stand, I think Elsie wouldn’t stay long as the Leader of Team B!”

At the mention of the Design Director, it happened that his assistant showed up. The assistant

announced that the Design Director had something to discuss with Myra.

Tilly urged Myra forward. “Quickly go! State your conditions in one go right now. It’s just in time to vent

your frustrations!” She even gestured at Myra to pump her up.

Myra did not expect to take advantage of the situation at all. However, I can’t endure certain things

anymore and I do not plan to suffer alone in silence!

When Myra entered the Design Director’s office, Elsie, who was still inside, turned abruptly. She stared

at Myra with resentment. She looked as if her eyes would burn holes in Myra’s body.

On the other hand, Myra calmly walked into the office and she stood in front of the office desk. “Design

Director, were you looking for me?”

Her confident and triumphant stance irritated Elsie to the point where her eyes turned bloodshot. “Myra,

do you think that we don’t know how you managed to get the project back? I can’t even imagine how

many men you had to sleep with to master your skills in bed. You took only one afternoon to change

Mr. Logan’s mind by bedding him! You even stooped so low that you used me as a scapegoat!”

She suddenly charged at Myra, but the middle-aged man seated behind the desk shouted, “Elsie!

Watch your mouth! This is a company; please don’t spout nonsense!”

“Did you say that I’m spouting nonsense?” Elsie’s make-up was already smeared, making her look like

a mess. Nevertheless, that did not hide her distorted facial expression. “She kept flirting with Mr. Logan

the last time she went to the Hart Group. Mr. Logan took the liberty to cater to her needs and the staff

from the Hay Group witnessed that too! Design Director, I have nothing to say if you demote me!

However, I will never agree if you remove my responsibilities toward the Sunny Bay Project!”

The Design Director felt like he was caught in a difficult position at that point. Everybody in the

company knows that Elsie is having an affair with Director Chase. Director Chase most probably feels

that this is a troublesome issue, which is why he pushed the matter for me to handle. Nevertheless,

Hart Group was clear with their position, so I can’t afford to offend Myra.

After weighing his options, he smiled at Myra. “Myra, the company has undoubtedly let you down this

time. We have decided to restore your position and let you take full charge of the Sunny Bay Project.

However…” He smiled broadly. “Elsie had contributed immensely to this project too. It doesn’t seem

reasonable to ask her to suddenly let go of this project. Let me suggest this—why don’t I arrange for

Elsie to be your subordinate?” With that, Myra would have vented her frustration and I wouldn’t have

dismissed Elsie’s last request.

“Design Director, I don’t mind whether or not I am in charge of this project,” she answered steadily.

He let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. If she doesn’t mind, it means that she wouldn’t mind

whether or not Elsie ends up as her assistant…

“However, I do have a request—I do not want to see Miss Foster in my project team!” Myra’s voice was

not sharp; in fact, her voice was calm and soothing. However, her tone was stern at that moment and

the Design Director was rendered speechless by her request.

“What gives you the right to force me to bow out of the project?! Who do you think you are?! You are

only capable of dirty tricks! Do you think that without you, the Chase Group couldn’t have secured the

Sunny Bay Project?!” Elsie screamed in anger.

Myra met Elsie’s gaze indifferently, but she turned to the Design Director to state calmly, “I have never

felt that the Chase Group would not be able to secure the Sunny Bay Project without me. Hence, as I

said earlier—I don’t mind whether or not I am in charge of this project.”

The Design Director’s expression soured. “Myra, theoretically speaking, the company’s decision does

not require your approval—”

“I think my decision to resign does not require the company’s approval as well, am I right?” Myra gently

interrupted before he could complete his sentence.

The Design Director’s expression changed drastically and his face was shrouded with a gloomy

expression.

Myra made a move, as though she was about to leave. He inhaled sharply and he stopped her

helplessly. “Fine. We will proceed as you have requested. Elsie will back out of the project this time

since she’s made a mistake.”

Right after he said that, Elsie screamed in a sharp voice to defend herself, “Why should I back out?!”

“Elsie Foster, you need to calm down!” The Design Director interrupted before she could continue. His

expression reflected his foul mood. “You have only yourself to blame for this matter by not allowing

Myra to join the meeting. Enough. This matter ends here. No one is to bring this up again!”

Elsie was fuming at that point and she was feeling frustrated and livid, but she did not have the courage

to say anything more. Hence, she could only angrily glare at Myra before leaving the office in anger.

The atmosphere suddenly felt awkward, but Myra seemed especially relaxed. “Design Director, I will

head back to work if there’s nothing else.”

With that, she left his office without even waiting for a reply.

The Design Director, who was behind her had a complicated gaze. He phoned Sean in a rush once she

left.

“Miss Stark, I heard that Elsie was unhappy with the outcome, so she went to the Hart Group to look for

Director Hart. In the end, she was chased out of the building without even making it past the front desk.

Later, she sneaked into the carpark and she actually tried to strip to seduce Director Hart. Director Hart

was furious and the security guards threw her out of the Hart Group!” Tilly shared the gossip with Myra

early the next morning after gathering fragments of news from multiple people. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Myra’s lips curled into a smirk when she heard that Elsie attempted to seduce Tony. Previously, Tony

has already expressed zero interest in her. I can’t believe she did such a tasteless thing just to compete

with me.

Nevertheless, Myra smiled involuntarily when she heard his reaction to Elsie’s seduction.

“He is worthy of being my Dreamboat Tony. He always exercises self-control and maintains his

integrity!” Tilly’s eyes were shining brightly when she said that. Then, she proceeded to list down Tony’s

wonderful traits.

Myra felt helpless when she interrupted Tilly. “Tilly, have you truly never considered changing jobs by

joining the Hart Group?”Tilly specializes in praising Tony, so if she doesn’t work at the Hart Group, it is

a loss for Tony, indeed.

Tilly rolled her eyes at Myra. “Do you think I would still be in the Chase Group if I could join the Hart

Group?”

Myra was dumbfounded by her answer.
