“Do you know how to do this?” Eugene could not take it anymore.After Eugene yelled at the doctor, the doctor lost his grip on the bottle of ointment and it fell to the floor. He had always been in this small doctor’s office where he would only treat children’s minor illnesses and wounds. When had he ever seen two men being so imposing before?Sharon endured the pain and said, “I’ll do it myself…”She reached out her hand to take over the bottle of ointment in the doctor’s hand. Then, the man’s large bony hands reached over and snatched the bottle of ointment. He was one step ahead of her.She turned her gaze weirdly, and at the next second, the man was already sitting next to her leg with a cold expression. He took the cotton swab and started applying the ointment for her without saying a word.Sharon stared straight at him and was stunned. She only came back to her senses when she felt the cold ointment on her ankleIt was Simon again. Why was he being so good to her?She did
Who knew his father did not fall for it at all? He rejected his request bluntly. “No.”“You’re so mean!” The little guy pushed him away.“Isn’t Eugene enough? Do you want to be the third wheel?” Simon did not care that Sebastian was throwing a tantrum.Sebastian rolled his dark eyes. He examined his daddy’s expression and seemed to understand something. “I understand now. Are you unhappy that there’s another man by Mommy’s side?”The father’s and son’s eyes met. The large pair of eyes were staring straight at the little pair of eyes.Simon narrowed his eyes slightly. “You’re the one who called Eugene to attend the parent-child activity, right?” He had not gotten back at this little rascal for this yet.“I-I was worried that you’d be busy.” The little guy chuckled dryly.He said it as if he was being considerate of Simon, but in reality, he was just a little traitor.Simon curled his lips into a smile but it did not reach his eyes. “Alright, you’re forbidden from eating the me
“You’re too courteous. This place was initially for tourists, so you guys can work and have fun now that you’re here.”“Then, for the next two days, we’ll count on you for our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation,” Sharon smiled and said. She still needed to be polite.“That’s fine. It just happens that there’s another team of people coming over later. It’ll be even more lively with more people.”Sharon could not help but wonder and asked, “Are there any tourists coming over now?”“They’re not tourists, they’re…” Manager Hayes just wanted to say something when another bus with people arrived.“Look, they’re here,” Manager Hayes said to her and then greeted the new group with a grin.Sharon could not help but look over curiously. If they were not tourists, who were they? Was it people from the other competing company?Then, she saw Howard stepping down from the bus.Why was he here? He had also brought with him a small team of seven to eight people. The group of people wa
This was good. Since he had stopped targeting her, it would save her a lot of trouble.Both sides were about to start eating when suddenly, someone ran in to inform Manager Hayes, “Manager, um… President Zachary is here.” It was the assistant who ran in. He was probably in a hurry, so he was panting a little when he spoke.“What? President Zachary?” Manager Hayes was startled and quickly waved his hand. “Quickly, come out with me to meet him.”Sharon was far away from them. She heard the assistant say that someone was here, but she did not hear who it was.She looked at Manager Hayes suspiciously as he hurried out to meet whoever it was. However, the person had already entered.The man’s tall and upright body walked in while he exuded the strong aura he was born with.The moment Sharon saw Simon, she was shocked for a moment. Why was he here too?Manager Hayes greeted him, “President Zachary, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming over so that I could welcome you
It seemed that Manager Hayes was a little careless. He only asked for Simon’s opinion now.Now, everyone in the room held their breaths while looking at their boss. They knew Sharon, and they had also heard about why Sharon was fired. They did not expect her to be so talented and become a designer in Prosper Group in just a blink of an eye.Sharon peered at the man with an unreadable expression. He might be reluctant for her to sit next to him, right?After a while, the man said insipidly in a manner that was neither too fast nor too slow, “It seems that she’s the one who minds.”Sharon’s heart trembled. Did he mean that he agreed to have her sit next to him?Manager Hayes finally understood after missing a beat. He chuckled and said, “That’s right, we’ll all be friends after sitting together for a meal.”He asked the waitperson to fetch a bottle of good wine. “President Zachary, Miss Jeans, let me give you guys a toast.”Sharon could not hold her alcohol, so she did not want to
However, she was still curious. What sort of help was he offering?“What are you talking about?” she asked.“Simple…” Howard looked at her without changing his expression. He said in a manner that was neither fast nor slow, “I can let you see our design draft.”Sharon was surprised when she heard that. Let her see their design draft?If he was not crazy, then it would only mean he was setting a trap for her. If she agreed to this, she would fall into the trap immediately.Before she could say anything, he said, “I know you won’t trust me. I’ll send you the design draft after it’s out.”“No, don’t send it to me. Don’t set me up. I don’t want to see your design draft. If I want to win, I’ll win fair and square using my skills and talent.“Plus, won’t you be betraying your uncle if you do this?”Howard’s eyes darkened, and he continued in a very insipid tone, “There’s no betrayal in this. I’m just doing what I want to do.”She was even more confused after he said this. Did he wan
When Sharon heard Howard say those words, a chilling dark look flashed across her face in the already dark night.She was utterly shocked. Did he mean he was going to fight Simon for Central Corporation?Based on what she knew, Howard never had his eyes on the Zachary family’s corporations and neither was he competitive with his uncle. What made him change his mind?This was no longer a betrayal, it was infighting.Could he beat Simon?“How does it sound? As long as you stand by my side, I’ll let everyone know you’re the president’s wife after I take over Central!” He was still trying to lure her.Sharon returned to her senses, and at this moment, she was surprisingly calm. “I’m afraid that before I even secure my position as the president’s wife, Sally Luke would have already killed me.”She had long learned how ruthless Sally was. She was someone who could kill her own child, so one should not think she was nice.Not to mention… Howard’s mother was the enemy who killed her fa
Simon watched him leave with furrowed eyebrows. He somehow felt that this nephew of his had become a little strange recently.He had probably received a shock too after learning that his own mother killed his father. People whose hearts were not strong enough would definitely have gone insane by now.Sharon ran all the way to her cabin and locked the door the moment she entered. She had been really scared by Howard earlier.After she was certain that she locked the door, she collapsed straight onto the couch, still a little out of breath.She had some wine tonight, and her head was already hurting. Getting scared by Howard made her mood even less stable.When she recalled Manager Hayes saying that this cabin had a hot spring in the courtyard, she felt that she needed a dip right now.There was nobody else here, so she boldly wore a bikini into the hot spring. The warmth enveloped her instantly, and her body’s exhaustion eased.Today was truly too tiring. She leaned her head on t
