Douglas' old face darkened, "She passed my test. I think she has what it takes to be your secretary."Simon squinted his eyes. "I'm not looking for a secretary. If Director Zachary insists for her to work at the company, I'll let the personnel department place her in a suitable post.""No need for that. She will be better off being your secretary.""Director Zachary, are you trying to arrange a secretary or a lady for me?" Simon no longer wanted to beat around the bush.Douglas found it was hard for them to communicate like that and thus said bluntly, "Rebecca is a kid who I watched grow up into an adult. The girl is good. She is educated and is gentle, She’s suitable to be your wife and can help you out.""Dad, I don’t lack any women." Simon meant to say that he was not the slightest bit interested in the women around him.Douglas snorted. "Oh really? So you mean to say you already have a lady beside you? How come I'm not aware of it?"Simon’s eyes sparkled like diamonds, and h
She was astonished when she saw the tall and handsome man. "President Zachary? What brings you here?""Uncle is here to see whether your foot has recovered or not," Sebastian answered on Simon's behalf.Sharon had not expected him to be so concerned for her, and she quickly answered, "It’s no big deal. I’m well enough to head back to work tomorrow. You didn’t have to intentionally come over.""It’s not troublesome at all. After all, you got injured because of me," Simon said calmly."Shar, why don't you hurry up and invite President Zachary into the house?" Riley added.Only then did Sharon snap out of it and quickly make way. "President Zachary, please come in and have a seat."The man's long legs stretched out and stepped into the house. He did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed.Sharon invited him to have a seat in the hall before she poured him a cup of water and placed it in front of him.While Riley went to fetch Sebastian, she had bought dishes for that night’s dinne
Sharon placed the dishes on the dining table and then invited Simon over to have a seat.Sharon felt as if she was disrespecting him as she looked at the three simple dishes she had made. Needless to say, she was utterly embarrassed. "Well… there aren’t that many dishes. I hope you'll bear with it."Simon did not say a word and simply sat down at the side of the table.Sebastian, on the other hand, was satisfied. "Mommy, with such a huge plate of braised pork tonight, it’s more than enough."Simon looked at the little kid and stared at his skinny arms and legs. 'Could it be that they had such a tough life previously that the kid had no meat to eat?'"Help yourself to more of it then." Simon gave Sebastian a big piece of braised pork."Thank you, but I'll get it myself. You don't have to be so polite with me." After Sebastian was done speaking, he helped himself to another two pieces of meat as he placed them in his bowl. Sebastian would never be clueless when it came to eating.
His huge palm, separated by a thin layer of clothing material, was around her waist. Nevertheless, she felt as if the skin on that area was burning.The warm sensation spread all the way to her cheek, and her face felt very hot.'Oh God, what's happening to me?'Sharon was unaware of how she had made her way to the car. Franky was holding an umbrella next to the car door. Seeing the both of them walking toward him, he took the initiative and opened the vehicle’s door. He then waited for Simon to enter the car.Sharon felt annoyed. 'Franky would’ve surely brought a pair of umbrellas. I didn’t have to send him downstairs.'At the side of the car, Simon let go of Sharon and returned her the umbrella. Needless to say, Franky was holding another umbrella for him.Sharon lowered her eyes. "Well… have a safe trip back home.""Alright. You too, pay attention to your safety." The expression in the man's eyes was deep as he stared at her."Then, I shall head back for now." Sharon felt th
Ever since Sharon had bumped into her and Connor Leonard in the hospital, Sally could not help but feel insecure that the latter had found out her secret. Consequently, she assigned people to keep an eye on all of Sharon’s movements from the shadows.She had not expected Sharon to seduce Simon!After seeing the last few pictures, she suddenly became agitated. Her eyes were brewing with rage, and she nearly smashed her phone.The last few pictures were pictures of Howard and Sharon together!'It is so late at night and he's not home. It turns out he went to meet Sharon!'She stared at the pictures with immense hatred as anger could be seen swirling in her eyes. ‘Damn it! I can't let Sharon be so unscrupulous again. I should teach her a lesson!'…The very next day after the rain was sunny. The air was fresh.The injury on Sharon's foot was almost fully healed. Nevertheless, she went back to work that day.As usual, she would send her son to school before heading to the company
“What happened? How could there be a car accident?” Simon heard that she had been in a car accident, and without further asking about the situation, he immediately stopped the meeting to rush to the hospital.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her sitting on the long bench, alive and well. It was just that a large part of her forehead was wounded and still oozing blood. His furrowed brows were unable to stretch.Sharon was about to say something when the door to the emergency rescue room was pushed open. She got up reflexively and immediately ran over. “Doctor, how is he? Were you able to rescue him?” She grabbed onto the first doctor who came out and asked nervously.The doctor shook his head. “Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe and we weren’t able to rescue him. We had to declare his death.”At that moment, Sharon froze. She felt a thunderbolt hitting her head!Afterward, Sharon watched as Manager Cook was pushed out, covered with a white cloth. She was i
His gaze was scorching hot, making Sharon look away. “I’m going up now.” She got out of the car and walked forward without looking back.She wondered if she was being overly sensitive about Simon’s attitude because she felt Simon’s treatment toward her was different from before.…On this day, Sharon was attending Manager Cook’s funeral.If it were not for him, she would have been the one inside the coffin.The police had closed the case and concluded the driver had been drinking before driving. As such, the driver was the one mainly responsible for the whole thing.Sharon was coming out of the cemetery when it started raining. She took out an umbrella from her bag and opened it. Right then, she received a text on her phone.Her expression changed in a split second after clicking on the message.The text wrote: [You’re lucky that you had a substitute this time around. I’ll not be so sure the next time!]It was a message from an unknown number. Sharon’s hand trembled as she h
Sharon’s heart tightened, and she turned around to go search for her child. Simon did not try to stop her. His eyes turned dark, and he followed from behind. Sharon went over to the place where they had been planting trees. It was not very remote, but very few people would walk past this area. It was surrounded by the woods as well.“Sebastian? Where are you?” Sharon walked into the mud with her umbrella. It was already raining heavily at this time.“Sebastian, you have to respond to Mommy….” Sharon was about to burst into tears out of fear. She was not able to find her son through the dense curtain of rain…She had no one else, and her son was her only support. She would crumble if her son were to go missing!Then, she suddenly slipped and fell into the mud embarrassedly. As the umbrella fell to the side, the cold rainwater splattered all over her. However, she quickly struggled to get back up as she continued yelling for her son, “Sebastian!”Simon, who was not far behind, s
