Simon was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at the woman’s frail back and watched her walk away without saying anything. He tightened his grip and snapped the cigarette that he was fiddling between his fingers just now.…At night, Sharon, who was now unemployed, was searching for new companies online so she could submit her resume.Sharon could not get in contact with Eugene at the moment. She had been following the news closely and the news report said that the stocks for Newton Corporation were stable but it was still uncertain if they had solved the crisis.There was not much news about the Newtons after that, so she did not know what the situation was like for Eugene currently.Since she could not contact him, it meant that he was still taking care of the crisis. Thus, it would be best if she did not disturb him.She could not depend on him anymore, so she needed to find a new job as soon as possible. If not, what would she use to fight Simon for Sebastian’s custody?Riley
Sharon quickly got used to the job here. In fact, this job was not too tiring. She was responsible for the storage and placement of wedding dresses in the shop, which she did every day.Usually, the customers who came here would prefer a designer who specialized in custom-made wedding dresses. She only needed to introduce them while noting down the customers’ requirements on one side.There were not many employees in the store. There were only four people including her. The others were old employees, but they were all around the same age, so they were easy to get along with.As usual, not many customers came to their shop today so everyone had a bit of free time.“Hey, come and read this news article. The man in the photo is President Zachary!”“Where? Let me see…”Sharon was fixing the dress on the mannequin when she suddenly heard the colleague next to her getting excited while looking at their phone.When she heard Simon's name, she paused. Something flashed in her eyes, but
When she thought about how he was going to marry someone else, she got even more frustrated.They were already divorced and were not related to each other anymore, so why could she not be unaffected?She was no longer like her past self anymore.She looked into the mirror and took a deep breath to suppress the dejection in her heart. She would let him go. He was just a man, so what was there to be reluctant about?Sharon calmed herself down and was about to leave the restroom when she heard footsteps approaching as well as the sound of someone talking.“Miss Luke, here’s the restroom.” It was her colleague Lily's voice.Perhaps a customer needed to use the restroom while looking at the dresses, so Lily led them here. At the next moment, a figure walked in. When Sharon looked intently, she was surprised when she saw the person approaching. It was Sally.Sally was also very surprised when she saw her. When their eyes met, neither of them made a sound for a few seconds.“Sharo
Sally inhaled sharply and suddenly remembered something. Then, she smiled. “Do you know why I’m here to buy a gown today?”Sharon’s expression was cold, and she was not interested at all.Sally’s spirits were not dampened by this at all. She continued, “I don’t think you know, right? I’ll be so kind to tell you, then. Uncle is… Simon is going to marry Miss Gabriel. When the time comes, the Zacharies will host a welcome party for her. Also, they might announce the marriage at the party. Shouldn’t you be happy for your ex-husband? After all, he has finally found a wife who’s a perfect match for him.”Sharon already knew this but she still could not stop her heart from aching.She remained calm and would not show her emotions in front of Sally.She looked askance at Sally’s smile and mocked, “He’s marrying Miss Gabriel and not you, so why are you so excited?”It was pointless to continue talking to Sally, so Sharon wanted to leave after saying that.“Stop! Did I allow you to leave?
Sebastian turned his head and looked at her seriously. “Mommy, Daddy said you’re busy with work and can't go home often. I think he’s lying to me. You’re living separately, right?” He shook his head again. “No. I should say that you’re divorced, right?”Facing her son’s question, Sharon did not know what to say for a while. The little guy already knew what separation and divorce were at a young age.Riley could not watch this anymore. “Shar, just tell him. He’ll know that you and that Zachary b*stard are divorced sooner or later.”After Sharon and Simon got divorced, Simon had become the huge b*stard in Riley's eyes.Sharon could not stop her best friend’s quick mouth. She looked nervously at her son, but it seemed that the little guy was not sad when he heard the news of their divorce. On the other hand, he had an ‘I knew it’ look on his face.“Mommy, you don't need to lie to me. I understand everything. You divorced Daddy because there’s a crack in your relationship.” Otherwise,
There were no customers in the shop, so it was fine for her to step out for a while. Plus, her colleagues were in the shop too.“It’s my treat. There’s a cafe at the corner of the street.”Sharon took a one-hour leave to treat Eugene to a cup of coffee.The two of them found a place to sit in the cafe and ordered some coffee.“I’m sorry for leaving without telling you. Were you worried about me?” Eugene curled his lips and said half-jokingly.“I saw the news, so I knew there was a crisis in your company.” As such, she was able to understand him leaving without saying anything.Eugene lifted his eyebrow and said half-jokingly again, “It seems that you’ve been keeping tabs on me.”Sharon was already used to him speaking this way. She intentionally made a stern face and said, “Could I have chosen not to? My superior went missing all of a sudden and I got fired. Say, why am I the unlucky one when something bad happens to you?”She made it sound as if he was the one who gave her the
Fortunately, Sharon had only promised Riley to try working in the store for two months in the beginning. She was still on probation, so it was not a big problem if she left.Sharon returned to work at Prosper Group, and her colleagues gathered around her.“Oh, Sharon, the big boss personally sent you back just now, right? Tell us, what’s your relationship with our boss?”The others were also very envious and jealous, asking, “Yeah, be honest. Is it possible that the boss is pursuing you?”Otherwise, how was it possible for her to come back so quickly after she got fired?No one would believe her if she said that she did not have any sort of relationship with the boss.“Um… The boss and I just have a superior-subordinate relationship in the company, and outside the company, I think we can be regarded as good friends.” She was telling the truth.“Liar! Although the boss is very approachable, he’s obviously treating you differently. He takes care of you so much, and your relationsh
Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not gifting this to her, but after thinking about it from another perspective, was this man making a fuss over minor matters like this?“The gown is for you since it suits you. You don’t have to return it to me.” It would be useless even if she gave it back to him anyway as he would not be wearing it and neither did he have another woman whom he could give it to.Sharon waved her hand repeatedly, saying, “I don't want it.” She did not frequently attend parties, so why would she want the gown?“Take it as a reward for being my plus one tonight. If you don't like it, sell it.”What? Sell it? How could he have such an idea?The black Bentley pulled to a stop in front of the five-star hotel. Sharon could see from the car window that many luxury cars were heading in their direction and the parking spaces by the entrance were already full of expensive luxury cars.She could not help but wonder what sort of dinner this was. Why were
