She picked up her wallet, pulled out a bank card, and handed it over to him. “Here’s a hundred thousand dollars. It’s the fees for your service last night, President Zachary, albeit the service wasn’t all that satisfactory,” she told him. Simon’s expression gradually darkened as he exuded a frigid and murderous aura. It felt like he was going to strangle her to death in the very next second! Simon pinned a dark gaze upon her. He tightened his grip on her chin and spoke to her through gritted teeth. “What do you mean by service fees for last night? What do you take me for!” He yelled. How dare she tell him that his service was not satisfactory? He was the head of the Zachary family. Having him for a night was just worth a hundred thousand dollars? Wait, he should not be pondering upon this seriously. He was not a gigolo! Sharon was not frightened by the dark expression on his face. “You can think about it however you like, but this is a suitable price. Don’t think of scamm
Naturally, Sharon did not want to talk about what happened last night. However, when she thought about what Simon said, she asked in curiosity, “Were you the one who took me to the hotel after I got drunk last night?”Ceylon noticed that she was purposely dodging his question. He wanted to continue asking her, but he still respected her.He nodded and answered, “Yeah, you said you don’t want to go back to the Newton household, and I didn’t know where to take you, so I could only take you to the hotel.”Sharon let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. With her understanding of her teacher, he would not do anything inappropriate to her.Why should she believe what Simon said? She should believe her teacher’s character,“Sir, I wasn’t able to entertain you well this time you came over and I didn’t take you to places to have fun as well. I just asked you to help me with my research and pick out flowers and materials. This is my fault.”She stopped and continued, “Sir, I have my o
Of course not…Ceylon frowned and looked straight at her. He asked, “Who’s your type then? Is it Simon?”Sharon felt her heart tighten and she lowered her eyes. “No…”“It is!” He interrupted her denial. He looked at her sharply and continued, “You were calling his name when you’re drunk last night. In vino veritas, no?”Sharon’s eyes shone. Did she call out Simon’s name last night?Did Simon hear it too?She felt embarrassed in that instance even though Simon was not there.Her silence confirmed Ceylon’s guess. He grabbed her shoulders tightly all of a sudden and he was getting emotional. “Sienna, since you don’t want to accept him, why don’t you be with me? That way, he won’t have any reasons to annoy you anymore.”Sharon was shocked. What kind of logic was that?She said seriously, “Sir, I won’t use anyone as my shield. What’s between me and him is none of your business.”“Sienna…”“You don’t have to say anything anymore. I only see you as my teacher and nothing else. You
Sharon felt all the nerves on her body crumbling at that moment. She also flung his hand away with all her might in a blink of an eye. She said while looking at him coldly, “What do you want me to admit? Are you sick in the head?”Simon’s sharp eyes were still glued to her. He wanted to see through her.“Admit that you’re Sharon!”“I told you before that I'm Sienna!”“Then why did you call my name when you were drunk?”A hint of awkwardness flashed across Sharon’s face, but she went back to normal quickly. “It’s because you’re too annoying! You annoy me so much by pestering me!”After she said that, she felt pain in her chin. The man’s hand grabbed her and said while clenching his teeth, “You’re still pretending!”Sharon frowned and before she could push him away, a figure flashed past her and the pain disappeared. The man in front of her had also been pulled away.“She said she’s not the person you’re looking for. Why are you forcing her?” Finally, Ceylon could not take this a
It would be detrimental to her if things escalated to that step.So, why was it so hard for her to get away from the father and son?She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. She said without turning her head, “If you really want to do this, please do so.” Her tone sounded as faint as a can falling to the ground.Sebastian wanted to chase her when he saw her walking away. However, Simon grabbed him from the back.“Daddy, you’re so useless. You can’t even take care of a woman.” Sebastian peered at his father with contempt.“I cooperated with you so well too! I was sadfishing in front of mommy.” However, he still could not get his mommy back.Simon frowned and looked at the mini version of himself. Was the brat looking down on him?He curled his finger and tapped on Sebastian’s forehead. He purposely made a dark face and said, “What do you know? In order to capture, one must let loose.”Sebastian pointed. “Mommy is so stubborn now. Are you sure you’re able to take her down t
“Is there anyone here? Help!” Sharon screamed. She got a mouthful of smoke and she coughed uncontrollably from the choking.The staff in the research lab had all left because it was after work hours. The security guard would only patrol occasionally as well.Since the fire was burning so out of control now, she figured that no one was around.Her survival instinct caused her to look for the exit everywhere. Maybe someone would notice that this place was on fire. She could not give up!“Somebody, help…”The fire was getting bigger and bigger and the smoke was getting thicker as well. Sharon inhaled too much smoke and she finally collapsed on the floor because she could not take it anymore.She could not see her surroundings clearly anymore and it was getting very difficult to breathe. She was on the floor and she was staring straight into the direction of the exit. She tried to climb over there but a lot of burning things kept falling around her. They almost fell on her a few ti
Eugene walked in front of her and his face looked solemn.“Why are you asking about him? Didn’t you reject him and stop all interaction with him?”“Stop fooling around. Tell me now, how is he? Where did he get hurt?”Eugene lifted his eyebrows and his eyes were filled with scorn. “You’re still very concerned about him.”“Eugene!” Sharon was going insane. She was not in the mood to joke around with him.Eugene sighed internally and he understood that she was unable to truly let that man go.“He’s just next door…”Before he could finish talking, Sharon had already pushed him aside to walk out quickly. She wanted so desperately to see him immediately!Sharon thought Simon was just like her. She thought he only had some minor injuries and there was nothing serious.When she saw the unconscious man in bed with gauze around his head and a horrifically pale face, she could feel excruciating pain in her heart.“He hurt his head? Is it serious?” Sharon grabbed Eugene’s sleeve and aske
Inside the room, Sharon looked into the man’s eyes.‘Doesn’t make friends with women?‘How can he say nonsense like this?’Even if they were to look past the women who were around him, did he not have Xena around him now?Fine, even if those women were not friends, they definitely did not share a simple relationship with him. Even if Sharon were not here, he would not be lacking women either.When she thought about this, her heart did not feel that great.She yelled at herself secretly. Did she have no respect for herself at all?She coughed slightly and said while pretending to be unaffected, “Did you lose your memories or are you stupid? I’m your friend!”She wanted to see if he was pretending or did he really forget.However, after she said that, a child’s voice sounded from the door. “Mommy, you’re the stupid one. You’re daddy’s woman and his wife, not his friend.” Sebastian appeared all of a sudden.He walked straight to the bed and looked at his father, saying, “Daddy
