Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 260

Myra was quiet for a moment. Estelle had always been domineering and headstrong, but for Shawn to

be the weaker party in their relationship just seemed… impossible.

All of a sudden, she asked a little cautiously, “Estelle, have you… not forgotten that person?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Estelle’s unrecognizable voice

sounded. “Myra, what are you talking about? I don’t want to be with Shawn. I don’t have anything to do

with him at all, okay? If you hadn’t just mentioned that person, I would’ve completely forgotten about

him. Shawn and I… I just don’t think we’re suitable for each other!” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“How are you not suitable?!” Myra exclaimed.

Estelle took a deep breath. “He’s one of the law-abiding renowned figures, and his future is bright.

He… Anyway, he would never have a relationship with a measly actress like me.”

“I don’t think that’s the case.” Myra raised her eyebrows.

In the beginning, when Tony wanted to be with her, she had a lot of concerns.

Women tended to contemplate more than men. They would consider all kinds of issues, but from a

man’s point of view, there was only one question—‘will you be with me?’

“Deputy Mayor Hart minds that you’re an actress?” Myra asked. She knew that Estelle liked her job

very much, albeit being born the impressive daughter of a rich family.

“Not really…” Estelle muttered. Feeling that admitting this was helping Shawn, she quickly added, “But,

he’s always troubling me and preventing me from filming flirtatious scenes, which is disturbing my

career! And it makes me very—”

“Charles doesn’t like Shawn?” Myra interrupted, ignoring her desperate remarks.

Estelle replied somewhat unhappily, “Of course, Charles likes him. As a profiteer, how could he not like

him—”

“You don’t like Deputy Mayor Hart?” Myra’s expression remained unchanged as she interrupted her

once again.

Estelle was a little frantic now. “I didn’t say I don’t like him, but—”

“Then, isn’t it settled?” Myra thought, It’s just as I expected. She likes Deputy Mayor Hart. “Estelle, if

you’re worried about something, why don’t you talk it out with him? It’s possible that what you think is a

problem is not a problem to him at all.”

Similarly, in the beginning, Myra kept thinking that she shouldn’t be with Tony because of her identity,

and she thought that his family would come in their way.

But, in fact, Tony didn’t care, and his family treated her very well.

“Oh, you don’t understand!” Estelle was growing a little restless. She was rushing to the city hall, and

after getting out of the car, she walked directly toward Shawn’s office. She wanted to have a good chat

with him and take back everything she said last night!

“That’s it for now. I have something to do, so I can’t talk anymore. We’ll talk later.”

Looking at the office door before her, Estelle took a deep breath as mixed emotions appeared in her

eyes.

She pushed open the door and was about to let loose everything she wanted to say, but upon seeing

the scene in front of her, her expression changed in an instant.

At this moment, Shawn was standing next to his desk, and a graceful woman stood leaning against

him. Nearly her entire person was nestled in his arms, and she currently had her hands on his tie.

The woman seemed alarmed by the sound of the door opening behind her, and she quickly turned to

take a look. When she saw who the visitor was, the woman was no longer panicky, and a knowing

smile appeared on her face.

“Estelle?” The woman squinted.

“Kris…” Estelle’s face dropped as she went straight into the office, not forgetting to reach behind to

close the office door. Taking just a few steps, she stood before Shawn and Kris.

When she saw Shawn’s tightly knitted brows and his lowered gaze, the fire in Estelle’s stomach rose

abruptly.

“Why the f*ck are your hands there, huh?! Hurry up and let him go!” Estelle stared at Kris’ hands on

Shawn’s tie, which she found to be an eyesore, and wanted nothing more than to chop them off!

Last night, he obviously said that he only likes me… Yet, now he’s getting entangled with another

woman! It wouldn’t be that bad if the woman had class, but how could it be this b*tch, Kris!

Estelle’s eyes seemed to be blazing with flames as she fixed Shawn with a burning glare.

However, this incident between Kris and Shawn could be said to be an accident.

Kris had come to the city hall today to rescind the application for the Central Square project that the

Stark Group had sent in some time ago.

She had seen Tony many times before, but she had only seen Shawn a few times. During those few

times, she was always in a hurry. Today, she realized that Shawn looked somewhat similar to Tony.

Just like Tony, Shawn was unbelievably handsome! What was more important was that Shawn’s

character and temperament were to Kris’ liking. It gave her the idea that even if she couldn’t get Tony,

getting Shawn would be just as good.

The two were originally talking about the Central Square project, but Kris clearly had other intentions.

When Shawn wasn’t paying attention, she snuggled up to him and offered to help him adjust his tie.

Shawn’s expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to push her away, Estelle happened to

come in and see everything.

Hence, Shawn acted a little childishly and wanted to see Estelle’s reaction.

Sure enough, he found her reaction to be rather… surprising.

When Kris saw Estelle, she didn’t take her seriously. After all, she knew how bad Estelle’s reputation

was in Bradfort City just by looking at how many boyfriends she had had before.

“You think I’ll let go just because you ask me to? On what grounds?” Kris heard that Estelle was

pursuing Shawn, but she reckoned there was no way he would accept Estelle.

After all, how could such a noble man be with a woman as shameless as Estelle?

Kris deliberately moved her hand to remove Shawn’s tie, but a cold voice suddenly sounded from atop

her head. “Let go.”

His voice was icy to the core.

Kris froze for a moment, then smiled and lifted her head to look at Shawn. Her eyes were full of

ambiguity. “Deputy Mayor Hart, I’m sorry. I was so immersed in talking with Miss Langley that I forgot to

help you with your tie. I—”

“I said let go.” The man’s cold voice sounded once more. This time, Shawn instantly pushed Kris away.

Frowning, he glanced at the tie on his chest, then immediately pulled the angry woman in front of him

into his arms. “My tie is loose. Help me adjust it.”

“You think I’ll adjust it just because you asked me to?” Estelle looked at Shawn’s tie. She felt disgusted

just thinking that Kris had touched that tie!

Shawn seemed to know what she was thinking. Raising his eyebrows, he suddenly took off his tie

before throwing it into the trash can beside him—all while Kris was watching.

In an instant, Kris was livid, and she glared resentfully at Estelle.

She didn’t expect that Myra’s friend had actually found a way to tie Shawn down already!

Estelle didn’t spare her another glance but simply looked at Shawn’s hand which had just touched the

tie with disgust.

A tinge of helplessness appeared in Shawn’s eyes. He suddenly took a handkerchief out from his

pocket before carefully wiping the hand that had just touched the tie. Then, he threw the handkerchief

into the trash can and hugged Estelle. “Is it fine now? I didn’t intend to let another woman touch me just

now.”

Kris heard the meaning behind his words. He was implying that she had deliberately tried to get close

to him just now, so the incident had nothing to do with him!

Kris had always been conceited, and the men chasing her could form a line all the way from Bradfort

City to Springdale City. However, the two men that she had her eyes on were seemingly blind, as they

didn’t see her at all!

She couldn’t bear to stay in Shawn’s office anymore, so in her seven-inch high-heels, she left in bitter

haste!
