Standing before Love

“Director Hart…” Myra called out in a hoarse voice.

Tony looked up at her blankly. Then, he lowered his gaze and continued to bandage the wound.

“Myra, there’s no need to thank me. This construction site belongs to Hart Group. Even if it wasn’t you who was in danger, I would not have let anyone get hurt on my construction site.”

It was as if he was reminding her of the fact that she had asked him to keep a distance from her the other night.

Myra was stunned but before she came back to her senses, Tony had already finished bandaging his wound.

He stood up and threw his suit aside, revealing his white shirt underneath. His cuffs were folded and his dark blue tie was meticulously straight. Tony’s facial features were like God’s finest work and his cheekbones were sharp. It was a sunny day, but he exuded a cold aura. Even if he was at a construction site with a helmet on, it couldn’t hide his handsomeness and freshness.

“Leo, do I have anything else scheduled for today?” Tony asked Leo, who was standing behind him.

Leo hesitated for a moment and glanced at his arm. “No, Director Hart. You should go to the hospital to check your injury…”

“Didn’t I say that I’m not going to the hospital?” Tony turned around and glanced at Leo with a half-smile.

At that instant, Leo felt his hair stand on end and he hurriedly gestured to Myra for help.

Seeing this, Myra clenched her fists, but she immediately felt a sharp pain in her hand that Tony had gripped tightly a while ago. Her face suddenly turned pale and she muttered, “Director Hart, you should go get your wound checked. What if…”

“What right do you have to say that to me?” Tony coldly interrupted her.

Myra didn’t expect Tony to speak to her like that. After all, he had just saved her from being hit by a brick a moment ago.

She stiffened and she bit her lip, but Tony had already walked past her and went outside.

Seeing this, Leo sighed inwardly. He wanted to say something to Myra, but in the end, he said nothing because he was afraid of Tony’s temper. Instead, he hurriedly followed behind Tony.

Tony was very tall, so he could be found at a glance even in a crowd at a construction site.

Myra watched as he walked further into the distance and for some reason, she felt a little heartbroken. Her lips twitched a little and her gaze fell on the black suit at the side. It was the suit that Tony had held on his arm a moment ago. He had forgotten about it.

“Tony…”

Just when Myra was about to shout out Tony’s name, she turned around and saw that he was nowhere to be found. Not knowing what to do, Myra stared at the jacket absentmindedly.

After Tony got in the car, he closed his eyes to rest.

The flushed and worried look on Myra’s face a moment ago played in his mind and his tense expression instantly relaxed.

Myra is a stubborn woman. I have shown her kindness several times, but she still refused me. Judging by how anxious she was when she saw me get injured, I know that she has feelings for me. It bothers me that she can’t see that.

Tony frowned hard when he suddenly remembered Myra mentioned that she was a married woman.

Thinking about this, he became upset again.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Leo couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. At first, he wanted to persuade Tony to go to the hospital but in the end, he gave up the thought.

“Director Hart, Young Master Elliot called and said that he will be meeting you at Zion Club at 7:00 p.m. tonight. Young Master Philip and Director Windrow will also be there. He said that he wants to discuss the Hilliville project.”

Hearing this, Tony rubbed his temples and nodded.

Leo let out a sigh of relief. Young Master Philip is a doctor, so at least he can help check Director Hart’s arm. I can stop worrying now.

The car sped on the highway. Along the way, Tony suddenly received a call from Sebastian.

“Hey, when am I going to get a granddaughter-in-law? I met Shawn today and he was hugging a woman! Even the man whom I thought would be single forever is seeing someone! When are you going to start dating?”

Lisa Hart wasn’t bothered about her grandsons’ marriages. In her eyes, her grandchildren were perfect, so they didn’t need to worry about finding a good wife!

However, Sebastian was different. He was anxious to have great-grandchildren and even dreamt of having a group of them running around the house, so looking at the old bachelor at home made him anxious. His temperament was the complete opposite of his wife!

“I heard that you hugged a woman on the night of my birthday banquet.”

I have been itching to ask him this question! At first, I tried hard to suppress the temptation to ask and waited for him to tell me himself. But I didn’t expect this b*stard to be so patient. He didn’t even mention a single word about her! Now that I have lost my patience, I have to find out.

“If you like her, bring her home. Don’t worry about her family background or social status. Your grandmother and I are not people who look down on the poor.”

“Are you sure you won’t mind her background?” Tony deliberately chose the important keywords and asked.

As I expected, he is afraid that we will dislike her.

After finding out that his youngest grandson was about to start dating, Sebastian grinned from ear to ear. “Why would I mind? Hurry up and introduce her to me!”

Hearing this, a soft smile appeared on Tony’s tense face. “I’m still pursuing her. We’ll talk about this after it’s final.”

“What?! You haven’t succeeded in pursuing her?!” Sebastian’s jaw dropped. Then, he scoffed and said, “Tsk! If you don’t know how to chase after a girl, you can ask me. After all, I succeeded in pursuing your grandmother, who is a difficult woman to deal with. Grandpa has a lot of tricks up his sleeves,” Sebastian said delightfully.

However, Tony directly hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Sebastian pouted. “He can’t even win a girl’s heart. All he does is treat me coldly! Hmph!”

With that, he hung up the phone. Then, he stopped the maid who just came back from outside and asked, “Where’s Lisa?”

“Madam is having a stroll in the garden.” Covering her mouth, she thought, Old Madam Hart and Old Master Hart have been together for many years, yet Old Master Hart is still so devoted to her. I’m jealous.

After hearing the maid’s answer, Sebastian got up and went outside, humming a tune as he walked. “Don’t be obsessed with me. I’m just a legend…”

When Tony hung up the phone, they had arrived at Zion Club.

As soon as he entered the VIP room, Elliot rushed over to help Tony to take his suit, but in the end, he saw that Tony wasn’t wearing a suit at all. He only had a white shirt with his cuffs folded, and underneath it…

“Oh my goodness, Tony, what happened to your arm?”

It has only been a day since we last met. Why does he have a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his arm? I can even see some blood seeping through!

Leo hurriedly explained, “A brick fell from the fourth floor at the construction site today. Director Hart was afraid that it might hit Miss Stark, so he hit it with his arm and got injured. Young Master Philip, can you please help check his wound?”

Leo’s words were filled with information. There were three important points—one, Tony had gone to visit the construction site for no reason today; two, Tony had used his arm to hit a brick just so he could protect Miss Stark, and three, he didn’t head to the hospital to get his wound checked.
