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
Seeing the heavy ridicule and cynicism in the man’s pitch-black eyes, Sharon instantly understood what he meant.He definitely thought she had gotten involved with Howard after seeing them at the garden earlier.“It’s not like what you’re thinking, Howard and I…” she subconsciously explained.“I didn’t say anything about you and him either.” The derision at the corner of the man’s lips became even more obvious.Her explanation had become a cover-up instead. She pursed her lips self-deprecatingly. How strange... Why did she feel the need to explain so much to him?Regardless if she really had something going on with Howard or not, that had nothing to do with Simon anyway. She was no longer his wife, so she was free.Seeing her lower her head without a word, coldness gradually floated into the man’s eyes. He abruptly pinched her chin and lifted it up. His handsome and firm features moved closer to her as he laughed icily and derisively. “Going on dates with Eugene Newton and gettin
“Did you have a poor rest last night? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?” her colleague asked her in a concerned tone. Sharon bit her lip and laughed drily. “I only sleep well in my own bed, so I didn’t really sleep well last night,” she said.As soon as she finished speaking, she caught sight of Simon who was walking over with an assistant by his side. His posture was stiff and rigid. She stared furtively at him. He seemed courteous and well-mannered right now. It was completely different from the way he had forcefully kissed her last night! He could easily deceive plenty of starstruck women with his handsome looks! She averted her gaze from him after glancing at him once. She then sat down to eat her breakfast. She did not want to interact with him too much.Simon was here to have his breakfast as well. He sat down at the table next to them, his handsome and charming features attracting all the female colleagues’ attention. She was the only one who continued eatin
The elevator had broken down. Soon after, they heard the sound of footsteps heading in their direction. Manager Hayes’ voice rang out. “President Zachary, Miss Jeans, are you guys inside?” he asked. They were surrounded in blinding darkness within the elevator where the surrounding air was thin and stuffy. As soon as Sharon heard Manager Hayes’ voice, she immediately replied, “Yes, we’re here. Rescue us at once.” She could not stay in a space like this. If Simon was not by her side, she did not know how terrified she would have been. “I’m really sorry. Wait for a moment, I’ve already notified the maintenance staff to come over at once. This elevator is too old. Things like this happen occasionally. I didn’t expect it to break down so seriously today…” Manager Hayes continued explaining to them from outside. Inside the elevator, Simon let Sharon hug her as she wished. If she was not so frightened, he would not mind staying inside the elevator for a longer time. It was rare fo
Manager Hayes did not understand. “Huh? But there aren’t any wild kittens in our holiday resort…” he murmured. Sharon turned her face away while feeling awkward. She lowered her head and remained silent. Noticing that Manager Hayes still had questions about Simon’s statement, she coughed lightly as she was afraid that Simon would say something shocking again. “Manager Hayes, didn’t you say you wanted to show us the data you’ve sorted out?” she asked. “Ah, that’s right. I almost forgot about it. If the both of you are alright, please come with me,” Manager Hayes turned around to lead the way. Sharon stood up at once, but her legs were still weak. She almost lost her balance again, and Simon reached out a long arm to support her. He got close to her ear and said in a low voice, “Make sure you stand firmly, little wild kitten.” After that, he let go of her and walked forward. Sharon stared at Simon’s slender silhouette with widened eyes. She cursed internally, ‘You’re a
