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
“Assistant?” Howard suddenly let out a sneer, “Well, you’ve done all you could to be a good assistant to him, but he still pays no heed to an assistant like you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to throw this packet of food into the trash.”Xena’s expression appeared unnatural at the moment. She was somewhat ashamed, feeling as though her secrets had been exposed. However, she still tried to save her dignity and painstakingly explained, “President Zachary wanted to eat out, so of course, he doesn’t need this packet of takeout food anymore.”“So why didn’t he take you with him?” Howard still had the half-smile on his face.“I… I’m just his assistant anyway, so I’m not qualified—”“You are qualified. We all know that you’re not just some small-time assistant. You call Penelope ‘Aunt’ sometimes and call Simon by his name. It’s after work hours now, so why can’t he take you out for a meal?” Howard interrupted her sentence.Xenia was already utterly vexed in her heart. Upon hearing his wor
Sharon and Simon were sitting down in the restaurant and had just ordered their food. The second the waitress left, a frantic figure burst in and hurried toward Sharon.“Tell me, Sienna! Did you let Fern sign into a f*cking entertainment company?!” Eugene suddenly appeared before them with a sullen face. When Sharon was faced with his violent questioning, it was as if she had mentally prepared herself and was not at all anxious about it. She merely beckoned to her brother to sit and asked, “Have you eaten, Brother? Why don’t you sit down and have a meal with us? It’s your brother-in-law’s treat.”Eugene cast a glance at Simon. Brother-in-law, she said? Hmph, he had not given his consent just yet!He still sat down, but he did not plan on ordering. He continued to question her, “You have to explain things clearly to me…”“You’re right. I helped your sweetheart sign with Simon’s entertainment company and found her the best agent she could get in this industry. Now the company will
“You must be Miss Thompson’s suitor, aren’t you, young man?” the woman from daycare asked with a smile.Eugene did not admit nor deny it. He merely took out his business card and handed it to her, saying, “This is my business card. If you’re worried about handing the child over to me, feel free to give me a call anytime.”The woman from daycare took the card and noticed that he was actually from the Newton family!In this city, who on earth had never heard of the Newton family?“I’m not worried at all. You may send Rue home today,” said the older woman with a smile.Eugene took Rue into the car and brought her out to have dinner.“What do you want to eat?” Eugene gently asked the little girl sitting on the passenger seat as he maneuvered the steering wheel.Rue placed her backpack aside and fastened her seatbelt as she sat upright on the seat. Then, after thinking hard about it, she said, “I saw a pizza advertisement on TV the other day. The pizza had fruits and barbecued meat a
It was dinner time, so the pizzeria was almost filled to the brim with customers.Eugene came in with Rue in his arms, and the two of them attracted quite a lot of attention for a long while.The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had an exquisite face. His branded trousers that were of excellent quality were wrapped around his long legs, and he had the figure of a male model. However, his noble-like air was by no means comparable to any other ordinary male models. The most dreadfully charming part of him was the way he held the doll-like little girl in his arms. The entire scene was too enchanting to the eyes.Many of the ladies present were admiring the view, nearly shrieking out loud.“Woah! Look at the man carrying that little girl! Isn’t he too drop-dead gorgeous? What a lucky doll to have such a handsome father!” The young woman next to him could not help but gasp in admiration. She merely wished that she was his daughter too.“I’m guessing that he must be a slave to his d
