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
It was unknown who Eugene had suddenly recalled in his mind, but his eyes had darkened and there was a thought-provoking glint flashing across his eyes. He curled his lips and smiled superficially, saying, “Everyone says I’m the most eligible bachelor, haven’t you heard?”Sharon stared at him without blinking, wondering how much of what he said was true.She believed that he was an eligible bachelor, but she did not believe that he had never dated anyone before.“Do you have a secret lover who you can’t reveal?” She suddenly became nosy and tried to pry.Eugene's pupils became colder, but his expression was still firm. “Why don't you be my secret lover?” After he said that, he continued with interest, “Ah, no, you’ve been exposed tonight.”“If you don't want to tell me, don't involve me in this.” She did not need to pry about his private matters.She turned around and went to the food and beverage area. She had come here with him without eating dinner, so her stomach was already
She pretended to lean against his embrace intimately and intentionally expressed her dissatisfaction in a coquettish tone, “I’m hungry, so I went to find something to eat.”“It’s my fault. I should’ve fed you before I brought you here. I’m so sorry for making you feel aggrieved, honey.”Sally’s eyes were burning at this scene before her. These two were ignoring her presence and displaying their affections for one another right in front of her.How infuriating!She could not suppress her anger any longer and said to Eugene, “Mr. Newton, do you really like a woman like Sharon? Did you not look into her horrible past?”Judging from her stance, she was dying to tell him about Sharon’s dark past.Eugene curled his lips into a superficial smile, saying, “What does her dark past have to do with me? I only care about her future.”Sally did not expect Eugene to be willing to accept such unpleasant facts, but she still said, “What I want to say is about your future. You probably don't kno
As soon as Simon appeared, the women in the room secretly gasped because this man was just too handsome!At the next moment, the women all turned their envious, admiring, and jealous gazes to Miss Gabriel who was beside him.Summer Gabriel was just as her name described her to be. She had neat ear-length hair and a beautiful face, yet her eyes were filled with a heroic spirit.She was not wearing a gown or a skirt but a very handsome tailored suit for ladies.She also had an overwhelming aura emitting from her body. She was obviously in her 20s, but she had a maturity and coldness that did not match her age.Simon was the only one who could stand next to her and still be as imposing as ever.Sharon was extremely curious about Miss Gabriel just like everyone else. Then, she heard the people next to her whispering in low voices among themselves. “I didn’t expect Miss Gabriel to be a tomboy…” “You have no idea. She has already taken over the Gabriels’ business. Even though she’s y
Sharon came to the corridor of the dining hall and looked at the night view through the French window. She no longer felt as suffocated as she had when she was inside.The phone inside her clutch rang at this moment. She slid the answer button, asking, “What’s wrong, Riley?”“Shar, I heard you’re going to be with Eugene tonight. Will you still be coming home tonight?”“Stop overthinking things, I’m just attending a party with him. I’ll go back slightly later.” She did not fail to detect the nosiness in her best friend’s voice.“Oh, you don’t have to come back in such a hurry. Even if you spend the night with him, I won’t have any opinions. After all, we’re adults.”Riley sounded like a mother who was desperate for her daughter to get married.Sharon curled her lip helplessly. “Right, we’re all adults, so we’re rational enough not to do stupid things. Don't worry and don’t wait up. Sleep early.”When she was about to end the call, Riley raised her voice and yelled, “Hey, I’m seri
At the next second, someone grasped her hand suddenly. When she spun around, she was pinned against the wall, trapped by the man. The man’s tall figure forcibly stood in front of her. “You…” Sharon looked at him in a panicked state.The man lowered his cold face slightly, and his smile appeared chilly. “Are you planning to marry him?”This man was so strange. Why would he care what was going on between her and Eugene?If they were not divorced, then she would be able to understand why he was mad, but now, it seemed that he was being oversensitive.“Are you bothered by this?” She looked into the man’s dark eyes.They were so close to each other that she could feel his breath on her face. It still smelled like tobacco.He was standing with his back against the light, and his outstanding yet cold aura was extremely oppressive.He pressed his lips together, and his expression was tense. He was staring at her without making a sound.Sharon smiled teasingly. “You’re engaged now, so
