Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 188

Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she

softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”

Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”

Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a

more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We

bought enough today anyway.”

Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while

pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth

lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her

heart softened even more.

Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to check out their items. He had always been

an impatient man. Fortunately, not many people were at the cashier at the moment. Therefore, they

didn’t need to wait for long before their turn came.

Behind them stood another couple that seemed to be university students. The couple was in the

honeymoon phase of their relationship. Even during such a short wait in line, they had already

exchanged kisses at least three times.

Myra inadvertently glanced backward before turning forward again uncomfortably. She normally wasn’t

bothered by stuff like this. It was probably because Tony was standing next to her right now that she felt

embarrassed to witness such an intimate scene.

Tony glanced at her blushing cheeks. He seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye.

Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he leaned close to her ears and whispered, “Myra, let’s make a bet.”

“Huh?” Her ear felt ticklish. Turning her head, her pink and tender lips happened to brush against his

thin lips. The touch of softness that brushed across their lips seemed driven by an electric current that

made his eyes darken immediately. When she saw his expression, she hurriedly moved away from

him. She uncomfortably asked in a low voice, “What kind of bet?”

“You will suddenly call out my name while we are settling the bill later.” A trace of displeasure swept

across his eyes when he saw her distancing herself from him. Thus, he pulled her back into his arms.

That posture happened to put her in a position where she could see the ambiguous gaze of the couple

behind them. Hence, her face flushed redder than before. She speechlessly stood primly in his arms

and glared at him. “Stop fooling around.”

“Will you accept the bet?” The man didn’t seem to notice the strange looks they were receiving from

their surroundings; he was staring straight into her eyes.

She suddenly realized that bringing this shameless man to the supermarket with her was a huge

mistake. Looking into his sudden scorching gaze, she felt her scalp tingling. “Sure; sure,” she

perfunctorily replied while hastily pushing the man away.

This time around, he did not pull her back into his arms again. He simply whispered next to her, “If I

win, we’ll go to my place today. Okay?”

She stiffened and glanced at him a little suspiciously. “Aren’t we living next to each other? Is there a

difference?”

At the same time, a faint blush crept over her face. She had been sweating bullets, thinking that he was

going to say something utterly shocking. Thus, she breathed a sigh of relief at his words.

Brushing her hair aside, he murmured, “Not your apartment; the place I used to live in.”

“Oh.” Is he talking about the apartment he used to live in? To be honest, it doesn’t matter where we go.

I’ve already promised to spend the entire afternoon with him. It’s enough as long as there’s a kitchen to

cook in. Thus, she nodded after briefly considering it. “Okay.”

A faint chill appeared at the corner of Tony’s lips, but Myra failed to notice it. She didn’t pay any

attention to the words he said just now. Even if they had not made the bet, she would have gone there

with him since he mentioned it. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about his temperament.

As she was paying, he handed a gold VIP card directly to the lady cashier. “Use this card.”

She wasn’t bothered by these details. When she saw the card being handed over, she immediately

kept her purse. She was just about to pack up the things that had been scanned when she suddenly

saw him casually grabbing a box of Okamoto Ultra-Thin Condoms that were placed next to the counter.

He handed it to the lady cashier calmly. “Add this in too.”

Her face immediately turned beet-red. Lowering her head, she pretended that she had not seen

anything. However, his soft voice sounded next to her ear. “Would you prefer the strawberry flavored

ones or the peach flavored ones?”

“Tony Hart!” Sure enough, Myra shouted out Tony’s name. Seeing the slight curve of his lips, she swore

to herself, Next time, I am never bringing him to the supermarket with me again. I will also never visit

this supermarket ever again…

Upon exiting the supermarket, it was Tony’s turn to drive. Myra was currently fuming due to his

shameless behavior at the supermarket just now. Therefore, she ignored him the entire journey. As a

result, he occasionally looked away from the road to glance at the woman next to him. Raising his long

and slanted eyebrows slightly, he asked, “Are you mad at me?”

She pursed her lips and turned her gaze to the scenery outside the window. He chuckled softly and did

not say anything else. Not long after that, his phone started ringing.

Eyeing the woman that was still looking out the window, he smiled faintly and offhandedly mentioned,

“It might be from Elliot or Leo. It’s nothing important. Besides, I can’t answer my phone right now since

I’m driving.”

Although he claimed that it wasn’t important, most of the calls from those people were about important

company matters. Although she remained looking out the window, her body stiffened slightly at his

words. His thin lips curved into a deeper arc in response. The ringing of his phone soon stopped.

However, it soon started ringing again.

Myra felt as if a cat was clawing at her heart. In the end, she caved in. Turning around, she glared at

the man that was driving while answering his phone on his behalf. An impatient but pleasant female

voice sounded through the phone almost as soon as the call connected.

“Hey, Tony! I called you so many times. Why do you never answer—” The voice was filled with

resentment and longing; it was also overflowing with affection. It felt like a punch in Myra’s gut. Feeling

somewhat stunned, she failed to recover from her shock for a moment.

“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you driving? Or, are you in a meeting?” The woman on the

other side of the phone asked.

Myra glanced at the man that was focused on driving. His side profile was coldly handsome with a hint

of trustworthiness. Noticing her look, he raised his eyebrow at her as if to ask her what was wrong.

She paused before speaking into the phone. “He is driving right now. Can I help you pass a message to

him?”

The other party immediately fell silent. After that, the voice became rather haughty. “Are you his new

assistant?”

“No.”

“Then, who are you?! Why do you have Tony’s phone?!” The female voice on the other side of the

phone became shriller and shriller.

Myra was just about to reply when the other party abruptly ended the call.

“What’s wrong? Who was it?” Tony saw that Myra seemed taken aback, so he glanced at his phone.

Only then did she lower her head to glance at the Caller ID—it was an unregistered number. She shook

her head in response. “I don’t know who it was either. It was a woman who seemed to be looking for

you. When she heard me answering your phone, she hung up on me.”

Myra bit her lip. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t bothered by the call. That woman’s voice

sounded so arrogant. Moreover, she addressed Tony in such an intimate manner. However, Myra

simply could not figure out who it was.

Seeing that her complexion wasn’t too good, a faint trace of amusement appeared in his eyes. He

reached out his right hand and held her left hand. “Why do you look so moody all of a sudden? Was

she rude to you?”

She did not answer his question. Instead, she looked at him. “Tony, did you have a lot of girlfriends in

the past?”

Those words came out sounding so bitter that the man next to her could hear the jealousy oozing from

them. Tony was taken aback for a moment before he laughed softly.

When Myra saw Tony laughing softly, a touch of shame colored her cheeks. In the past, she had heard

from Elliot that he never had a girlfriend before. But, how is that possible? Besides, his skillful

techniques and inexhaustible energy made her believe that their lovemaking the other day was not his

first time. How could a businessman in his thirties never have had a girlfriend before? Therefore, she

subconsciously assumed that woman was one of his past girlfriends from the way she spoke just now.

Mulling over it, she felt a little uncomfortable about it, especially since that woman actually dared to call.
