"She's…" Simon was thinking of a way to introduce her."President Zachary, you’ve forgotten to bring your female partner in with you," said Sharon, who was being halted, in a somewhat grievant tone.Simon raised his brows. 'Female partner?'"Let her in," said Douglas.Douglas' slightly dull yet sharp gaze began to examine Sharon. He had never seen a lady once appear beside his son for many years. 'Could it be that this girl is special?'Sharon was delighted when she got the green light. She smiled and walked into the scene with her head held high."Nice to meet you, Director Zachary,” she greeted him politely. Douglas merely kept eyeing her with a sharp gaze. This made her nervous.She averted her own eyes and noticed that Simon's cold eyes were staring at her. Her heart began thumping quickly, and she evaded his gaze. She dared not meet his eyes.'Perhaps he's mad?'"Simon, is she your partner?" Douglas' looked at his son suspiciously. The latter was rather silent.Simon kep
Sharon entered the scene while holding Simon's hand. Subsequently, she saw Howard's mother, Fiona, and… Sally!Under Sally's gaze which was full of astonishment, she curled her lips and quietly grasped Simon's arm even tighter.Sally's voice was slightly shaky as she said, "Sharon?"They had not seen each other for five years. The current Sharon was no longer the same as the previous one. She looked the same, but she now gave out a sense of confidence and pride.Sally could clearly see the provocation in her eyes. She was holding onto Simon and presenting herself as the victor.Sally was agitated.Fiona saw Sharon, the cunning lady who had betrayed her son five years ago, as well."Howard, why is she here?" She looked at her son with a stern gaze.Sharon smiled and answered before Howard could speak, "Aunty, I'm here today to congratulate Howard and Sally."Sally clenched her fists and glared at Sharon without saying a word.Fiona could no longer tolerate it. She immediately
Earlier, Sharon had merely asked Simon for a dance casually. She had not expected him to actually agree to it.Who knew that she, who had taken the initiative to invite him, would turn out to be on the passive side; she was being led by Simon's footsteps on the dance floor.Without her realizing it, the man before her was all that she saw in her eyes. Under the sparkling crystal lights, the man's meticulous facial features made him look even more handsome.It was as if his deep eyes had magical powers that were making her attracted to him.Accompanied by the last musical note, they completed their last step. His arms surrounded her, and she ended up being in his embrace. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. At that split second, they made her forget everything.Only when Sharon heard the applause from nearby did she snap out of it. Subconsciously, she got out of his embrace.She lowered her head. "I'm going to get a drink." She left the dance floor rather hastily.Simon
Sharon stood opposite of Sally. Everyone, including Howard, was now looking at both of them. It has to be said that Howard was standing not too far from them.He frowned and wondered what Sally was up to.It seemed as if Sally was vaguely smiling while looking at Sharon. She said, "Could you please answer my question first. If you answer it wrongly, you'll receive a penalty.""Spit it out." Sharon looked right into her eyes. 'This Sally is still so fake. She has no guts to admit that we both know each other in public.'Sally's eyes gleamed coldly. "May I ask what you were talking about with my husband in the corridor outside just now?"Sharon's pretty brows furrowed slightly as she knew what Sally was plotting."For that question, you should go ask Howard. He's the one who dragged me outside.""I've already asked him, and he said you tried to court him. Is that so?!" Sally roared coldly, deeming that she was guilty. A commotion broke out amongst the crowd down the stage as peo
Sharon was carried out of the hotel by Simon. It was at night, and a cold breeze blew over. Consequently, Sharon shivered as she felt rather cold.The wine from Sally had drenched the cloth around her chest. Her hair was all wet as well, and her shirt was stained with butter. Seeing herself in such a state, she felt embarrassed."Thank you, please put me down," she said softly.At that moment, a car arrived before them and came to a halt.Simon let go of her. She saw that his western suit was now stained with quite a lot of butter, and she felt sorry for it. "Sorry, I dirtied your clothes again. Perhaps you could take your clothes off and let me wash it for you?"Simon remained silent and merely looked at her. Initially, he was curious about why she had insisted on him being his partner to enter the hotel. He had thought she was intentionally there to cause havoc. Without a doubt, from the looks of it, it seemed as if she had indeed planned to destroy the banquet. However, she end
Despite being faced with such a grand scene, Simon's expression remained unchanged. He took his sweet time and strode forward."I'm home, dad," Simon greeted Douglas, who was sitting at the main seat. Subsequently, he turned to look at the people beside him. "You're here as well, sister-in-law?"Fiona was his sister-in-law. Five years ago, his elder brother passed away in a car accident. Consequently, he had to return to take over the Zachary family.After the accident concerning Simon’s elder brother, Fiona and Howard moved out. They had done so as they did not want to stay in the house to keep seeing items that jogged their memory about Simon’s elder brother.Douglas looked at him with a stern expression. He asked in a unhappy tone, "Where have you been? Why have you only reached home now?"Simon raised his long brows as he found it rather hilarious. "Dad, I'm already a grown-up. I don't see what’s the problem with me coming back home slightly late."In truth, he was well aware
Sharon got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast. Then after having it with her son and Riley, the three of them headed downstairs.As usual, Riley was ready to drive and send Sebastian off to the kindergarten before sending Sharon to her company and driving herself to work.The three of them had already walked out of the condominium when Riley was all set to begin driving.At that time, the door of a black car that was parked nearby suddenly opened. The vehicle seemed rather luxurious, and Fiona was seen getting down from the car."Sharon," said Fiona coldly.Sharon raised her head when she heard her name. She was surprised at Fiona's appearance at the condominium when it was still so early in the day.Judging by Fiona's aggressive attitude, it seemed like something bad was bound to take place.Sharon was not willing to let Fiona know about her son's existence and thus had Riley bring her son to the car as she waited for Fiona. She told Riley she would be with them in
The unexpected incident that had taken place that morning nearly caused Sharon to be late for work. The moment she reached the company, she was notified that the president had summoned her.Simon had placed her in charge of the company’s Mountain Linguistic City project. Perhaps he wanted to enquire about her work progress.Sharon arrived at the president’s office. Simon was sitting on a leather swivel chair, handling documents busily. He was wearing a hand-sewn suit that was custom-tailored to fit. It made him look extremely good-looking.“President Zachary.” Sharon stepped to the front of the office desk.Simon raised his head to look at her and squinted his black eyes. “What’s wrong with your face?”Sharon was slightly dumbfounded. She had already applied some ointment, yet the swelling was so obvious.She did not wish to let him know that Fiona had come for her earlier. He had said that he did not wish to be caught in her grudge between herself and Howard.Thus, she had no c
