Simon walked into the president's office as Franky followed him from behind."President Zachary, I've already gotten information about the lady you asked me to look up," said Franky.Simon merely sat down. He frowned slightly when he heard it. "Spit it out."Franky took out an investigation report. "The lady's name is Sharon. Five years ago, she left Northern City and went to M Country to further her studies. One year ago, she was awarded an award for international interior design. Coincidentally… she has become a designer in our company."Simon tightened his lips and did not say a word. 'So it means that I'm now her superior?'Five years ago, she left Northern City…He recalled the night five years ago. He had just returned from a foreign country and was ready to take over the Zachary family. During the welcome ceremony, he had drunk a glass of wine that was drugged. Later on, a lady showed up.However, upon waking up from his slumber the next day, he realized that the lady was
Suddenly hearing Howard's voice, Sharon was stunned. Scenes of her wedding on that day began to flood her mind. Howard's cruelty and lack of belief in her had made Sharon feel rather disappointed.Howard placed a packet of documents on the office desk. Upon lowering his head, he saw the lady who was sitting in the chair.His expression changed for the worst, and his pupils shrunk. "You… Sharon?!" Her appearance caught him by surprise. 'She's back?'Sharon did not let out a sound. Instead, it was Simon, who was sitting on the executive chair, who glanced at both of them with an intriguing look. "What's wrong? You guys know each other?""Not at all!" It sounded almost as if Sharon had replied without thinking twice.Howard remained silent for a moment before he let out a cold laugh. "Indeed we don't know each other. The Sharon whom I once knew died a long time ago."Sharon finally raised her gaze and glared at him. They both exchanged gazes, and the atmosphere tensed up.In the en
The busy working day came to an end, and Sharon headed back to her house. She felt slightly tired.Riley finished work earlier than Sharon, so she helped her out and picked Sebastian up from the kindergarten."You're back? Was everything fine on your first day of work?" Riley asked.Sharon glanced at her. "Why didn’t you tell me that Zachary’s family own Central Corporation?""That means you bumped into Simon? How was it? Isn't he a handsome one?"Sharon glared at her peevishly. "What does he being handsome have anything to do with me? He's Howard's uncle!""So what! Not everyone gets to enter Central Corporation. You should be happy right now that you were hired regardless of whose uncle he is. Are you afraid that he'll help Howard and trouble you?"Sharon frowned. She was not fazed because of it. It was just that she did not want to be related to anyone from the Zachary family.At that moment, Sebastian came out of his room, holding onto his stomach. "Mommy, I'm having a stom
Sharon recovered. Her heart was beating hard, and her ears were warm. She quickly lowered her head and bit her lips. She felt annoyed.Simon felt his heart beating irregularly when he saw her in such a state. Once again, he managed to catch hold of the scent from her body that he had wanted to smell all this while.His gaze that was on her changed to a more elusive one.The atmosphere between them was not like how it used to be. All of a sudden, there were footsteps approaching them."Shar, have you gotten the medication?" Riley and Sebastian had been waiting in the ward for some time, and thus, Riley decided to look for Sharon after noticing the latter had not returned for some time.Sharon suppressed the emotions dwelling within her. 'This is terrible, how could I forget about my son?'"Yeah, I got it. How's Sebastian?""He's slightly better, but the doctor said he still needs to consume the medication." Riley looked at the tall and cold man beside her. Her eyes began to gleam
"Uncle, I heard that grandpa fainted. How's he doing now?" Howard asked immediately after entering.He had heard from the nurses that Simon was in that particular ward. Hence, he rushed into the ward without looking clearly at the people inside.Simon shifted his gaze and said faintly, "The same old problem. The doctor is treating him."Howard finally made out the people in the ward, and he was utterly flabbergasted. ‘Why is it Sharon again?'Riley immediately spoke up without holding back, "Who permitted you to enter? Get out now!"Sharon tightened her lips but did not say a word. She sat at the side of the bed and merely looked after her son. She did not even glance at Howard.Howard saw the kid, and his gaze froze. 'Why does that kid… look so much like uncle?!'He immediately looked at his uncle. 'Could it be he’s uncle's son?''No. Uncle has never had a woman beside him before. It's impossible that he has a kid.'An illegitimate child? I don't think uncle would do such a f
Sharon had not expected her father to leave something for her. Five years ago, she left in a rush. After bidding farewell to her father in the cemetery, she immediately left Northern City as the place no longer welcomed her."I got it, I'll contact you tomorrow then."Doctor Collins still needed to attend to other patients. Thus, he left the scene after leaving his contact number.The next day, Sharon made sure that the little kid's stomach was alright after he had consumed his medication. Only then did she send him to kindergarten and head to work.As soon as she arrived at the company, she received a call from the secretary’s office. She was being summoned to the president’s office as President Zachary wanted to meet her.Not long after, Sharon reached the president's office. Simon was standing by a window that spanned from the ceiling to the floor. He was on the phone with someone else. Seeing that she had arrived, he beckoned her to have a seat beforehand.In no time, he ende
"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
