Sharon stayed in the laboratory the whole day, doing formulations. The very next day, she had finally figured out Appreshar’s formula!It had been silk-cotton all along. Her adoptive father had blended the scent of silk-cotton flowers into the perfume. It was light but not exemptable.She also discovered that the silk-cotton tree signified appreciation and cherishing. How dim-witted was she not to have figured it out sooner?“Sienna, you haven’t slept all night. Are you going to continue experimenting? Shouldn’t you take a break?” Her assistant, Gladys, came over and asked in concern.“I’ve found it, Gladys! I’ve cracked Appreshar’s formula!” Sharon could not wait to share her joy with her. She barely felt sleepy or tired at all.“Really?! Congratulations, Sienna!” Gladys hurriedly congratulated her and lowered her head to look at the formula sheet on the table. “Is this the formula?”“Yes! Now that the main formula is done, there are still a couple of minor issues that I’ll have
“You’re the lazy pig. Didn’t I tell you that I was working on the perfume the whole night? I came back to catch some sleep around noon.” Sharon yawned and looked out the window. It was already dark outside. Had she slept through the entire afternoon?“Then how did your work go?” Simon pressed half his long body onto hers, raising his hand to help her smooth out the messy bangs on her forehead.Seeing that her eyes were still a little red, it was evident that she had not gotten enough sleep.Sharon’s eyes immediately lit up when he mentioned her work. She showed a bright smile while saying, “Of course, it was a success! I’ve cracked my adoptive father’s perfume formula!”“Is that so? I always knew that the woman I’m attracted to isn’t stupid.”Sharon wrinkled her nose. Was this supposed to be a compliment from him?“Didn’t you say that you’ll make me a fragrance for my insomnia? Have you started on that?”“As for that one… Not yet.” Sharon let out a chuckle. She placed her arms a
“Head on in,” said Simon as he wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist, lowering his head to look at her.Sharon looked at the door and took a deep breath, saying, “Okay.” There were some things she needed to face head-on, after all.Franky opened the door for them and closed it again once they had entered. He stood guard by the door.At this moment, Xena was hiding behind a corner at the wall, spying on them. Seeing Franky standing right by the door, she knew that it would be impossible for her to eavesdrop.She knew about Simon taking Sharon to the doctor today, so she had waited outside the apartment quite early in the morning. Then, she trailed Simon’s car and came to this place.It seemed like he had really looked for a psychiatrist for Sharon, but Xena still had zero clues as to what kind of illness Sharon had.Unfortunately for her, Franky was right by the door. Otherwise, it would have been easy for her to find out the truth!Hence, Xena had no other option but to wait
Sharon was still thinking about what Dr. Edward had said to her after returning to her laboratory. Although she knew before going in that her illness did not have a cure, she was still somewhat disappointed by the visit.The phone she had placed on the table suddenly vibrated, and the screen showed Fern’s caller ID.Why was she suddenly calling? Perhaps she had introduced the wrong agent to her again?She swiped the answer button and said, “Hello? What’s the matter, Fern?”“I’ve signed the contract, Sienna. Kiara’s my new agent now.” She was calling to report some good news!Sharon was naturally happy for her when she heard this and said, “That’s great! Congratulations!”“Why are you congratulating me? This is all thanks to you. If you hadn’t helped me out, I would’ve never gotten the opportunity to contact Kiara in the first place.”“You’re so talented in acting, and I merely don’t want all of your talents to go to waste. Good luck to you, Fern. I hope you get famous real soon,
Before she could respond, he continued, “Well, it’s not your fault. We haven’t seen each other for two years now, so I suppose you can’t recognize me anymore. Truthfully, I almost couldn’t recognize you myself.” He glanced at her from head to toe and added with a half-smile, “After all, you’re no longer just the simple ol’ Sharon Jeans. You’ve become the young miss of the Newton household.”Howard looked more mature than before with that smile on his face. He was dressed in a suit with leather shoes and even had documents in his hand, looking like an elite white-collar worker.His gaze was currently fixed on her as he examined her with scrutiny. There was a flash of astonishment across his eyes. He never expected that she would still look the same as before after getting into that car accident two years ago.Wait, no. She was much more charismatic now. He had even heard that she was now a famous perfumer.Sharon, on the other hand, had not expected to run into him when she came her
Sharon leaned into the man’s arms and raised her gaze to look at the man’s handsome face. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly while asking, “If I said that he did, would you teach him a lesson for me as his uncle?”“That would depend on how he upset you.”“He…” There was a flash in Sharon’s eyes. She originally wanted to make a complaint, but she changed her words instead, saying, “He said that he’s my ex-boyfriend and asked if I remember him.”As soon as she said this, she looked at the man’s reaction somewhat amusedly.At the moment, the man’s handsome face sank slightly and his dark eyes narrowed as he asked, “How did you answer him?”“Me? I told him that of course I remember an ex-boyfriend like him who was such a scumbag.”His hands that he had clasped on her waist became tighter. His calm eyes stared into her delicate face without blinking as he said in a low voice, “You don’t remember your husband, but you remember him instead?”Sharon blinked at him. Should he not be focu
Simon merely pinched her face as he said, “Go on. Wait for me on the sofa.”“Alright.” She was being very obedient and decided not to disrupt his work anymore.She took out her phone and browsed on it for a while before getting bored. Then, she played some games to pass the time. Perhaps she was too tired from working recently and had not gotten enough sleep, so she unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa.While she was deep in slumber, she suddenly felt a heavy force pressing down on her…Sharon abruptly opened her eyes, thinking that she was dreaming. She did not expect to see the man leaning close to her to kiss her as soon as she opened her eyes.She subconsciously lifted her hands to block him by his shoulders, and her drowsiness dissipated into thin air. “Wh-What on earth are you doing?”The man’s eyes were unfathomably dangerous when he uttered, “Who gave you permission to fall asleep here?”“Can’t I take a nap for a while?” Why was he so petty?“Sure. But it’ll make me thin
Inside the lounge of the president’s office, Sharon had just taken a shower. Her long dark hair was draped across her back as she put her clothes on in front of the mirror.Simon walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. When he lowered his head and saw her neckline, he noticed the mark he had left behind. His eyes grew dimmer once more.When the man closed in on her, his strong and masculine air enveloped her again, making all of her nerves tighten unconsciously.She subconsciously pulled his hands off her and turned to glare at him, scoffing. “That’s enough! I’m hungry and tired now!”Seeing her being so defensive, Simon could not help but curl his lips into a smile as he said, “I’m not a hungry wolf that’ll swallow you whole, so why are you so terrified of me?”Sharon pouted her lips irritably. From her point of view, his behavior was not that different from a hungry wolf anyway.He stretched his arms out and wrapped the petite woman into his embrace once more. “I’ll
