Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 131

“For my sake?”

“Of course!” Estelle was dumbfounded as she stared at the simple and dumb woman who somehow

had Tony wrapped around her finger. “Didn’t you know when Tony returned to take over the Hart

Group?”

“Isn’t that two months ago?” Myra knew about that as well.

“Well, try to recall when the Sunny Bay Project started.”

Myra hesitated before answering, “It’s also two months ago.”

“Well, isn’t that right?!” Estelle shook her head. “Judging by those facts, he has fallen for you during the

Sunny Bay Project. After that, he decided to stay in Bradfort City and expand his business. That is why

he decided to transfer his company from the United States back to here, don’t you agree?”

Well, even if I don’t think Tony would make such a huge decision for a woman whom he had only

known for a month, Estelle’s assumptions have melted my heart anyway.

Estelle glanced at Myra before asking, “Hey! I know that you are in the infatuation period, but is it

necessary to provoke me? You look drunk in love. I am sure Tony would have you within his grip if you

continue in a daze.”

After that, Estelle seemed to have thought of something because she shot Myra with a mischievous

look. “Have you two… done it last night?” She sounded suggestive when she said that. She then stared

at Myra openly from head to toe, causing Myra to furiously blush.

“Estelle, stop joking around.” Myra glared at Estelle.

“I am being serious.” Estelle chuckled in delight. “We are all adults and I am sure that it is normal to

ease one’s loneliness when a man and a woman spend time together. Besides, Tony is a virgin despite

being 35-years-old. I am sure that he must have pushed you to your limits, am I right? Why don’t I buy

some books for you or a few CDs? Or would you like some courses? At least you wouldn’t be suffering

much when you are going at it with him; perhaps—”

“Estelle!” Myra interrupted while seemingly annoyed. She tossed a pillow in Estelle’s direction. “Enough

from you!”

“Oh, my. Hey, I am doing this out of kindness. I am sure that you two must have done it since you look

embarrassed and annoyed. Either that or you used something else to help him. Was it your hands

or…” Estelle stared unblinkingly at Myra’s red and swollen lips before she thought, It turns out the Hart

brothers like to play it rough. However, how could a woman like Myra endure so much? Numerous

thoughts flashed through Myra’s mind and her eyes narrowed into slits while she smiled in delight.

On the other hand, Myra was oblivious to Estelle’s thoughts, which were already filled with all types of

explicit sensual positions. Myra blushed a deep red when she recalled Tony requesting her help with

her hands last night and this morning. After that, she glared at Estelle before walking to her bedroom.

“Hey, please don’t be angry with me! I was merely joking!”

Despite saying that, Estelle was grinning from ear to ear. She picked up her phone since she saw Myra

walking into the bedroom. She found a phone number from her contact list and called it. “Hello, Shay!

You previously mentioned that there’s a new batch of toys in your shop. Are they still available? Send

me a box of those. I will text you the mailing address later. Send them over as soon as possible,

please.”

After hanging up on the phone call, Estelle sent the address to the person in excitement. She

deliberately wrote Myra’s name as the recipient.

After a while, a phone started ringing, but it was not Estelle’s.

She noticed the purse, which Myra had left on the couch, after the latter walked into her bedroom.

Estelle mischievously cackled while taking Myra’s phone out of her purse stealthily. She entered the

passcode easily and a message showed up in front of her— ‘I will pick you up at 6:00PM.’

Oh. my!!! I can easily guess who the sender is without even checking! Estelle burst into a fit of giggles.

Then, she sent a reply text—‘My dear, in that case, you will have to pick me up right on time. I’ll be noveldrama

waiting for you at home. XOXO ( 3 ) ’

Estelle added an air-kiss symbol emoticon to make the text sound more passionate. She thought that

she was a genius after sending the text!

Then, she heard Myra sounding like she was about to come out of her room, so she swiftly deleted the

message. Then, she placed the phone back into Myra’s purse.

“Estelle, did my phone ring just now?” Myra opened the door to ask her.

Estelle was tapping away on her phone. “No, it was my phone.”

“Oh.” Myra seemed distracted and she turned into her room to change into some casual clothes.

Estelle looked at her phone to check the text message which she had just received—‘Miss Langley, the

goods have been sent out. Please remind your friend to accept the delivery.’

Her lips curled into an eerie smile while reading the text.

Within the same day, someone was elated whereas there were others who were so happy that it

caused sadness.

After obtaining their marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau with Sean, Lyla returned to the

Chase Group with the group of three. She wanted to sign a contract with the so-called VIP client.

Naturally, the other side merely sent a group of assistants over. However, everything was handled

expeditiously and she signed the contract soon enough. A huge sum was immediately reflected in the

Chase Group’s financial accounts too. The three of them were both excited and happy simultaneously.

The group of people had just left the Chase Group’s building when her phone started to ring again—it

was her agent’s phone number.

Lyla answered the call and a panicked voice spoke to her over the line, “Lyla, we are in trouble. Didn’t

you mention that the Hart Group proposed for you to be the ambassador for the Sunny Bay Project?

Why have I received news that they are cancelling your rights for that? I heard that they have chosen

Estelle. Apart from that, the Hart Group has announced that they will never invite you again for

advertisements involving the Hart and Hartwell Groups.”

“What…” Most of Lyla’s joy from securing her marriage certificate and selling off the Chase Group’s

Hilliville real estate vanished. She could not believe her ears when she heard her agent. Then, she

asked suspiciously, “Sofia, are you mistaken? Are you sure that you’ve obtained the news directly from

the Hart Group? Are you sure that it’s not a rumor?!”

“It is definitely true. It just happened since the Hart Group held a press conference for the Sunny Bay

Project. They have confirmed that the ambassador is Estelle! A reporter asked why it wasn’t you—and

would you like to guess what the person in charge from the Hart Group answered?”

“What did they say?” Lyla had a sinking feeling at that point.

“The person in charge of the Hart Group said that from now on, both the Hart and Hartwell Groups will

no longer engage you for advertisements!” Sofia had been shocked to her core when she learned

about the news.

Just a while ago, the Hart Group phoned me to reassure me that everything is going according to plan

and there is nothing to worry about. That’s why I didn’t mind when Lyla had to sign the contract. I did

not expect the Hart Group to go against their word! Everyone knows that the Hart Group has an

unshakable bond with the powerful families, namely the Samsons, the Windrows, the Renauds and

even the Mosses. Once the Hart Group announces their intention, those families might not show it

openly, but they would follow suit with an unspoken rule! Lyla might be a pianist from the United States,

but she has changed her direction in the past few months. She has been expanding her career in the

entertainment industry. In fact, She is trying to secure more advertisement contracts to gain traction.

Her career has just started, but it seems like she has already been kicked out of the industry…

“No, that’s impossible!” Lyla inhaled deeply. “I am sure that there is a mistake amidst all this. Let me

ask the Hart Group. I am… acquainted with Director Hart! He would never treat me in such a way!”

She clenched her jaws while hanging up on the phone call. Then, she turned and met Sean’s

questioning gaze. He asked calmly when their eyes met. “Lyla, since when are you acquainted with

Director Hart?”

Lyla was shocked to her core. She was speaking on the phone in the narrow corridor beside the

conference room, but she did not expect Sean to stand beside the corridor to wait for her.
