Sharon had stood around and waited for Eugene for two days, and she was ultimately able to obstruct his path in the company’s underground parking lot.She widened her arms and stopped right in front of his car. If he did not explain things clearly to her, she would not budge from the spot.Eugene got out of the car and looked at her coldly, asking, “What do you want?”Sharon looked at the person in front of her, and his appearance had not changed one bit. He still had the same poise and was the same elegant gentleman, but his attitude toward her had obviously changed.She could feel a sense of alienation and coldness from him as if he did not want to lay his eyes on her at all.Seeing him being so distanced from her, she simply could not understand why he had changed overnight?Was this his grandfather’s instruction as well?“Why? Why did you publicly apologize in my stead?” In her opinion, when an accident occurred, the company should be sorry to the worker who died. Even if th
However, Penelope has been keeping a close watch on him recently, preventing him from meeting up with Sharon.Penelope was furious upon seeing the reports of him publicly admitting that Sharon was his fiancée. She immediately approached him and confronted him face to face. Simon still had the same old answer for Penelope. He told her he had set his mind on Sharon, and it almost caused her to faint from anger. He did not want to provoke his sister any further and thought of taking it slow so that Penelope would get used to the idea of accepting Sharon.Hence, other than being at work, he rarely went out of his way to look for Sharon.Even though that was the case, Penelope still took the liberty to approach Sharon first.At this time, Sharon and Riley were enjoying their cups of coffee while chatting in a cafe. However, Penelope suddenly appeared out of nowhere.Smack!Penelope landed a firm slap across her face as soon as she came in even though it was a public place!There
Sharon had been through so much to be able to live with her son again, so how could she tolerate Penelope disallowing her from seeing her own son?She could barely endure it when Penelope slapped her earlier, but she would not sit still and watch as Penelope took her son away!Sharon’s expression turned cold, and her eyes were filled with sullenness. “Sebastian is my son, Penelope. You have no right to separate us!”“She’s right. You’re not the kid’s parent, so what right do you have to stop letting the child see his own mother?” Riley thought that Penelope was overstepping her boundaries.Penelope’s expression looked stiff, and her eyes were cold and stern when she retorted, “The child belongs to Simon, and I brought Simon up with my own two hands. I surely have the right to deal with matters regarding his son.”She was implying that Simon was not only her younger brother, but she was also the one who raised him and she regarded him as her own son.Hence, she had the right to in
However, she had raised this brother of hers with her own two hands. How could she stand handing him over to another woman like this?Simon did not want to provoke his sister further. After all, their mother had died relatively early in life, and his sister was the one who took care of him. As such, he had to give her credit for that.He turned around to look at Sharon behind him and whispered, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the doctor.” He did not forget about her red and swollen face.He held Sharon’s hand, and she abruptly realized that this was a public setting. She wanted to shove him off, but he held her firmly, not allowing her to break free.The two looked at each other, and she saw the determination in his eyes. It was as if as long as he was there, nothing could go wrong.As if she had been possessed by something, she went along and followed him, letting him lead the way.Penelope was initially planning to stop them, but seeing that Simon’s thoughts were all focused on Sha
When Simon heard her question, his beautiful brows furrowed deeply once more. He pinched her chin and lifted it so that she would be gazing at him.“When did your comprehension skill become this bad? I was asking you to come back to me, not come back to work for me.”Seeing that he was somewhat anxious and annoyed, Sharon felt rather amused by it. Of course, she understood what he meant earlier, but it was better for her to clarify some things.She raised her eyebrows and deliberately responded, “Oh? So you don’t want me to return to your company? See, I told you. I knew that there isn’t one company that’d dare to hire me. They’ll be afraid that something’s wrong with my design. If it kills another person, then that’ll be the end of them.”Simon narrowed his dark eyes. “So, what you’re saying is, you don’t just want to get back together with me but you’d like to come back to the company as well? When did you get so greedy?” His thin lips curled slightly after he was done speaking.
Sharon was wondering why on earth did he bring her here? Then, he got out of the car and stretched his arm out to her. “Come out.”She placed her hand on his palm and got out of the car. That was when she saw a yacht docked by the shore. She wondered if he was planning to take her out to sea?He held onto her hand tightly and walked toward the yacht.“President Zachary,” greeted his subordinates. They were already by the bank, waiting for his arrival.Without uttering another word, he took her straight onto the yacht.“Are we going out to sea?” Sharon could not help but ask.“Yes,” he answered while nodding, no longer being so mysterious about it.Once the two got on the yacht, the captain sailed the vessel out of the dock and headed toward the seas upon receiving Simon’s instruction.They were just in time to watch the sunset. The reddish sun hung like a disc on sea level, and the orange-red sunlight cast a reddish glow on everyone’s faces.It had been a while since she witne
Sharon initially thought that Simon was going to hold a banquet on the yacht. Otherwise, why would he ask them to help her put on an evening dress and even doll her up as well?Once she was ready, the servants brought her out again. She smelled great after the bath, so even her spirits were lifted.Sharon was taken to the open-air restaurant on the yacht. The sun had set into the west, and a faint sea breeze was blowing in the air. There was even a bright crescent moon in the sky with a few twinkling stars around.Before she had time to revel in the beautiful scenery, she was attracted by the man standing not far ahead.Simon had changed into a more formal suit. His navy blue suit matched her dark blue dress, and his diamond cuff links were sparkling out aristocratic rays of light.At this moment, he looked even taller and more handsome in the dim light, not to mention enchantingly grandeur.She was stunned by his appearance for quite some time.The female servant nudged her, sa
After making a wish, she lowered her head to blow out the candles.“Happy birthday!” The man’s voice rang beside her ear.She turned to the side to look at him. Under the candlelight, the man’s eyebrows appeared clean and straight while his dark-colored eyes looked immensely profound. She tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss his lips, saying, “Thank you for preparing all of this for me.”They looked at each other, and the man’s eyes turned scorching hot. His voice was low when he replied, “A mere word of thanks isn’t enough.”The next moment, he grabbed onto her waist and pressed her into his embrace, lowering his head to land a kiss on her.Sharon took a deep breath, and her heart started beating somewhat confusedly. She did not try to push him away this time as his gesture had utterly moved her.When his lips moved away from hers, he pressed their foreheads together. They were close enough to hear each other’s breathing.Sharon still had her eyes closed shut, and the corner
