Rebecca kept staring at him until he spoke. Only then did she return to her senses. “Yes…” Her eyes glinted. She had lied just now, so she could only continue now.Simon’s brows furrowed. “Get out.” His words carried no warmth.Looking at the man’s cold expression, Rebecca’s heart twisted violently. A strong sense of hurt and indignance welled up in her heart. Something came over her, and she suddenly lunged over to hug the man. “Simon, can you not be so cold to me? We’ve known each other since we were little. You weren’t like this to me in the past.”Simon’s gaze froze and turned colder. His face was even a little impatient, but he did not push her off immediately.Rebecca stuck her face to his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, every nerve in her body was affected.“I don’t believe that you don’t feel a thing for me…” She hugged him tight, stood on her tiptoes, and boldly reached to kiss him!However, before her lips could come close, the man suddenly moved. Without an
Sharon had nearly forgotten about this. When she had been recovering in the hospital, Simon had always gotten the house to prepare liver for her to eat. He said it was to replenish her blood.She had never liked to eat animal innards, so after he forced her to eat it for two to three days, she was frightened just by the word ‘liver’.When she came back to the Zachary household, she thought of how he had drawn a lot of blood for her and purposely asked the kitchen to make him some pork and onions. She wanted him to have a taste of liver as well.However… When Rebecca Lawrence answered his phone earlier, she thought that her concern for him was excessive.As such, she had better eat the liver and onions herself. She had bled so much, so she would just consider this as a way to quickly replenish her blood.“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Sharon closed the bedroom door and went downstairs to the kitchen.The large kitchen was bright and clean. The liver and onions were still on the stove.
She was about to say that her phone was not with her, but it was as if she had been possessed suddenly. She blurted out what she did not want to say, “Didn’t you get a hotel room with Rebecca Lawrence? How could you have the time to call me?”Sharon wanted to bite her tongue off this time. What was going on with her? Why did she keep saying things uncontrollably?!The gaze of the man staring at her turned more playful, and his eyes shone. “Who told you I got a room with Rebecca?”Since the words were already spoken, there was nothing much to stay vexed over. She harrumphed impatiently. “Could it still be untrue if Rebecca told me herself?”The man extended both his arms and propped them on the marble countertop on either side of her, trapping her in the space between his arms.Sharon’s breath froze. She could not escape. She could only face him as the man’s concentrated gaze locked on her and his light words fell. “You believe her?”Sharon lowered her eyes. “Is it important wheth
“I don’t know, I…” Before she finished speaking, she was violently stopped by him!The man’s kiss was very aggressive. His breaths escaped his mouth and smothered the air around them. She had smelled alcohol on him from the very start. Could it be that he was drunk?Now, aside from the alcohol, she even smelled perfume on him that only women would wear.He had gotten a hotel room with Rebecca, and he was playing with her like this now!How could she not have noticed he was such a scumbag before?!Sharon could not push him away. Rage filled her heart, and without hesitation or care of being polite, she bit down harshly.“Hiss!” The man abruptly released her after letting out an aggrieved moan. He could suddenly make out the taste of blood in his mouth. She actually bit him!Sharon used the empty space between them from him being distracted to push him away forcefully and finally escaped his shackles. She rushed to the kitchen door in a panic and maintained a strict distance from
Hearing this, Sharon was befuddled. Admirer? Why would she have an admirer?She looked around but did not notice anyone suspicious. She took the glass doubtfully. “Thank you.”When the waiter left, Sharon still had not found this so-called admirer.A commotion came from the entrance of the ballroom. Everyone present turned to look.Sharon also looked in the direction everyone was looking at only to see Penelope helping Douglas into the ballroom.The reputable figure had arrived. It was no wonder why everyone’s attention had been caught.It could be seen that Douglas was still very respected and feared. As this was the corporation’s anniversary celebration and he was the chairperson, naturally, he had to attend.However, when Sharon saw Rebecca on the other side holding Douglas as well, her heart sank.Especially when she saw Douglas bringing Rebecca in front of Simon. She felt her heart being squeezed violently.In a setting like this, Douglas brought Rebecca to Simon’s side.
She picked up another glass, but just as she was about to drink it, a hand stretched out suddenly to stop her.“You’ll get drunk if you drink like this.” A playful voice sounded in her ears, and she saw Howard’s carefree appearance the moment she turned her head.She furrowed her eyebrows. She was in a bad mood now, and the last person she wanted to see was him. She shook off his hand impatiently. “I didn’t ask you!” After saying this, she downed that glass of wine.Howard snickered mockingly. “What? You can’t stand seeing a different woman standing by my uncle’s side?” Derision appeared in his eyes. “You should’ve expected a situation like this ages ago. I told you, you’ll divorce him sooner or later!”These words stabbed straight into her heart. It was not as if he had never told her these things before, but before this, she had never taken them to heart. Now, however, his gloating lit a fire in her chest. She did not control her tone and coldly commanded, “F*ck off! Don’t bother
She shook her head awkwardly. “I don’t know how. I’m sorry…” She indeed did not know how to do ballroom dances.“I already said you can’t reject me.” Eugene winked at her and said, “It’s fine if you don’t know. I can teach you.”His expression and posture were still very elegant. After speaking, he extended a gentlemanly hand to her.Sharon looked at his clean, lean hand. She found it hard to refuse.Perhaps it was because she was feeling too pressured. Although she did not know how to dance, she raised her hand and agreed to his invitation like she was possessed!It was only when he had walked to the dance floor with her hand in his did she come back to her senses. What was she doing?Why would she agree to an unfamiliar man’s invitation?Eugene circled a hand around her waist. He moved closer to her, smiling mildly as he said, “Woman, focus.”Sharon already regretted it. “That… I really don’t know how. How about you ask someone else…”Before she could finish speaking, Eugene
He turned away abruptly. His pitch-black, fear-inducing gaze landed on her. His tone was extremely icy when he spoke, “Secretary Lawrence, you’re overstepping again.” No matter how he and Sharon were, it was not her place to chime in.The way he addressed her as ‘Secretary Lawrence’ made Rebecca remember that night at the hotel when she confessed her feelings for him but he harshly shoved her away!Her face paled. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.Simon did not say anything more to her. He walked past her, not once glancing at her.He only thought about how he did not want to dance the opening dance later with Rebecca.Under Eugene’s instruction, Sharon danced with him. Coming off the dance floor, her palms were full of sweat. It was unsure if it was because she was too nervous or because it was hot.“See. I told you you’d definitely dance well.” Eugene saw her sweating prettily and could not help smiling. He took out a handkerchief he brought with him and
