Sharon pursed her lips, not letting out a sound. Perhaps Douglas had also deemed her as an evil woman who pushed Sally down the stairs, so obviously, he would not acknowledge her as his daughter-in-law. She looked at Simon. 'Will he accept this lady who was sent over by Old Master Zachary?'Simon frowned. He had rejected his father's arrangement the last time. He did not expect that Rebecca would return to his side so soon."Put back those clothes. It's not your role to do all this stuff," Simon said with a cold tone. There would be someone else to wash his clothes, and he despised others for simply touching his stuff."But…""Get out," Simon interrupted her coldly.Simon was being cold and ruthless. This made Rebecca's eyes redden, which made her look adorable in others’ eyes. However, the man in front of her did not show any expression."Alright, then… Then I'll head out and learn about the work here from Secretary Quinn. Please call me if you need anything." This time, she w
"Ah…" Sharon let out a soft shriek when she was scalded by the hot coffee. Shocked, she jumped vigorously.The cup of coffee on the coffee table that Rebecca spilled immediately splashed on Sharon's thigh. Her shirt was drenched with coffee too. Most importantly, the coffee was hot, so it burnt Sharon and made her expression change for the worse.Before Rebecca could recover her senses, she was pushed down by a force from behind. Then, an outline passed by in front of her swiftly.Simon, who was initially sitting opposite Sharon, quickly appeared before her. He was frowning when he saw the huge patch of coffee stain over her thigh. Without saying a word, he carried her and headed to the resting room.Rebecca sat on the floor, still in shock. She stared at Simon who was carrying Sharon away anxiously. She had a feeling that she had gotten herself into trouble.Simon carried Sharon into the bathroom inside the resting room and made her stand under the shower. He picked up the shower
When she was having her shower, she tied her long hair into a bun, and there were still a few wet strands of hair, plastered to the side of her face. It was not that bad to look at, rather, she looked rather sexy.She wrapped her body with a bathing towel, and the moment when she matched her gaze to Simon's, her face went bright pink, and her eyes were gleaming bashfully.He stared at her, with his eyes deepened without him realizing it. At that moment, he felt his heart racing.She was not wearing any shoes and just came out barefooted. Her toes were curled as she was not feeling at ease.There were butterflies in her stomach as Simon kept staring at her. 'Am I exposing too much of my skin?'However, she had no clothes for her to put on, and she had no choice…"Are you done showering?" Simon spoke first. He did not realize that his voice had become hoarse."Yeah, I'm done." Sharon stood at the same spot, not moving an inch."Come here." He found it hilarious and glanced at the
Simon looked at her. "Does it hurt?""A bit.""Then I'll do it gently." At that moment, his voice was extraordinarily deep, hoarse, and sexy.Sharon still could not relax. She looked at the side of Simon's serious face, and her mind went confused. He had greatly affected her usual flow of thought!"Mrs. Zachary, please don't look at me like that." Simon helped her apply the medication. Surprisingly, he raised his eyes to match her gaze and said it in a slightly joking manner.Simon's burning gaze was on her, with a vague smile under his eyes. Sharon was not able to evade his gaze in time and was caught by him, making her shy and awkward."No, I didn't." She quickly lowered her gaze. Her voice that she used to argue back to him did not sound convincing at all.She felt the pressure getting closer to her. Simon's strong vibe engulfed her. She lifted her eyes and saw Simon's handsome face so close to her own. His long fingers lifted her chin. "Scared of me, huh?"Sharon sat on the
Simon opened up the door with only a slight gap and retrieved the clothes from Secretary Quinn, not allowing her to peek into the situation in the room.Secretary Quinn was extremely curious but dared not peek nor ask questions. She just reminded him. "President Zachary, the meeting is about to start. Everyone is waiting for you in the conference room.""Got it. Go out and wait for me." Simon gave his order then closed up the door.Simon threw the package containing the clothes to Sharon's side. "Put it on, and take care of your injury."Sharon bit her lips. Regardless of what had happened, she still blurted, "Thank you."He was all set to head over for the meeting. When he opened the door, he thought of something. He turned around and said to her, "Wait for me at the garage after work. We will go get Sebastian back to the Zachary household."Before she could speak, he pulled the door open and left.Sharon sighed helplessly. In the end, she still had to return to that place.As
The moment Douglas saw Sharon, the smile that was originally on his face was immediately replaced by a stony expression. "Why did you bring her back?" he immediately asked Simon harshly.Simon did not change his expression, and replied with a calm tone, "Didn't you ask me to fetch him back here?""I asked you to fetch the kid back, not her!" Douglas had a cold expression.Sharon did not make a sound. Indeed, Douglas would not accept her.Sebastian held onto his mother's hand tightly, and said with a serious look, "Mommy, let's go. We're not welcome here." As he said that, he then was about to drag Sharon away."Sebastian, where do you think you're going? You didn't even greet your grandpa when you return," said Douglas with an anxious unhappy voice as the corner of his eyes twitched."You chase my mommy away, then I won't stay here as well!" the little kid said with a childish voice, and his face put on an unsatisfied look.Douglas looked furious. He was unable to handle the lit
In the study room, Douglas was holding onto the dragon-headed walking stick and sitting in a red wooden chair. Sitting opposite of him was Simon. The father and son were indeed talking about Sharon.Simon's bony fingers were holding onto a half-smoked lighted cigarette. Amid the smoke, his well-defined face showed an elusive expression.He narrowed his eyes faintly when faced with his father's order. "Dad, she's a lady who has given birth to my child. It's not going to be an easy thing to do."Douglas put on a stony expression on his old face. His blurry eyes yet had a sharp dark gleam. "Things will be easy if you're saying that you marry her because of the kid. The kid belongs to the Zachary family. From today onwards, he will be raised in the Zachary family. As for her, just give her a sum of money and chase her away."Sharon, who was outside the door, heard it, and this made her felt a flame of rage burning within her chest. Her hands were clenched hard without her realizing it.
Douglas let out a soft cough and deliberately put on a stern face. "She has already told me about you firing her. All she did was spill some coffee because she didn't serve it properly. This mistake wouldn't cause her to be fired, right?"Simon lowered his eyes and concealed the displeased gaze within his eyes. He was not eager to answer but soon, he made up his mind.He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray. Then, he got up. "Suit yourself, if that will make you happy." He paused for a moment, and added, "It's getting late, you should get some rest." He spun around to leave the study room after saying that.Before Douglas could react, Simon had already left. He sighed helplessly. "This brat…"'Fine, as long as Rebecca is able to be around him and be his secretary, I believe it's only a matter of time when she replaces Sharon!'Sharon had heard those words of Douglas about snatching her son away. She was already very mad that she did not register what they sai
