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
The speculative work soon commenced. The representatives of all three companies were seated in the conference hall. The three companies handed over their respective backup drafts to the judge. Next, they would have to send a representative on stage to present the design draft. Unfortunately, Sharon drew the ballot with the number one printed on it. That meant that she would be the first one presenting. Eugene patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. It’s alright even if you lose,” he said. Sharon knew that he did not want to exert any pressure on her, but she wanted to win so badly. Winning was the only way that she could prove her ability.She gave a faint smile at Eugene and nodded. She then got up and walked onto the stage. Although she had started preparing for this a long time ago, she was still extremely nervous right now.Meanwhile, Simon, who was seated beside them, cast a sideways glance at them as he observed their interactions. His gaze grew heavie
Meanwhile, Sharon and her colleagues from Prosper Group were not involved in the incident. Eugene looked at the other two companies in amusement. It was as if he were watching an interesting movie scene unfold before his eyes. Sharon could not help but direct her gaze at Simon. He remained seated with an impassive expression on his face. He gave off a menacing aura that prevented others from approaching him. If he were not there, the team from Paramount Company would have rushed over and fought with the team from Central Corporation. It was a miracle that he could still remain calm in a situation like this. He acted as though it was not a problem at all. “That’s enough. Shut up, everyone,” Simon ordered with a cold voice. Both parties who were in the midst of bickering quietened down at once. It was evident that they all feared him. Simon stood up and looked at the judges with a sullen gaze. “Our negligence has led to the occurrence of such a mistake. Central Corporation w
After Eugene said the words ‘She’s my person’, the atmosphere around them shifted a little. Summer, who initially intended to recruit Sharon, looked at both of them in a different light now. She chuckled awkwardly. “Ah, so Miss Jeans and President Eugene are a thing. It seems that I won’t be able to recruit her even if I offer her a salary that’s ten times her current pay, then” she remarked. Sharon glared at Eugene speechlessly. Why did he say something like that in front of so many people? How could she face her colleagues at work in the future? She frowned upon noticing Eugene’s lingering gaze on Simon. He would not challenge Simon at a time like this, right? She glanced at Simon instinctively and so happened to meet his dark, icy gaze. She could not resist shuddering. She did not recall offending him, so why was he glaring at her like she was his nemesis? “Let’s go,” Simon told Summer. He left with a stiff, rigid expression plastered over his face. Before Summer walke
