Chapter forty one “Get away from me!” Aria yelled at the man as he approached her. The man walked away from her after seeing her anger. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, looking so frustrated. She just wanted to return home, but yet she couldn’t grab a cab. “I thought you said Liam would be picking you up.” A voice sounded vividly behind her. Aria's brows snapped together at the familiarity. Aria spun around and was shocked to see that it was really her friend, Agnes. Her face dropped completely, as she hadn’t expected her to be here at this moment. Her purse slipped out of her hands, but she quickly retrieved it, faking a smile on her face. “I- I thought you went home Agnes, what are you doing here?” She stuttered Agnes scoffed, and she folded her arms across her chest, glaring at Aria. “No, you should ask how long I had been watching you,” Agnes said, and Aria's face jaw slackened. She had been watching her the whole time? “W-what did you s
Chapter Forty-two. Sharon and Matthew were returning home. Sharon looked out of the window and sighed. She suddenly turned to Matthew, trying to clear up the misunderstanding Aria caused. “About the other time, I knew nothing about what she was talking about.” She told him. “I don’t care about that,” Matthew replied rudely and he continued doing whatever he was doing on his cellphone. However, Sharon wasn’t offended by that. She only nodded, it wasn’t as if they were real couples. She relaxed her back and gazed out of the window. After some time, they arrived home. Sharon alighted from the car and walked towards her room while Matthew did the same. The moment Mathew arrived in his room, he pulled off his jacket and placed it on the chair, then sat at the edge of his bed. His mind reeled back to the conversation he had overheard. He had overheard Sharon and Aria's conversation at the bar, which was part of the reason he wasn’t bothered by Aria’s words anymore. He confirmed
Chapter Forty-three Sharon was styling her hair when a knock came on her door. “Come in.” She directed the person in. The door opened behind her and Tara walked in. “Are you going somewhere?” Tara raised a brow at Sharon the moment she walked in. “I’m going out.” She responded. When Sharon was done she got on her feet, grabbed her bag, and walked out. The moment she walked out of the house, Remo was already waiting beside her black sedan. He opened the car door for Sharon, who stepped in. Remo then got into the driver's seat and drove off. The car rode on the quiet street, and after a long drive, it finally stopped in front of a tall building. Sharon inhaled deeply as she alighted from the car. She stared at the big building before her, unable to believe her eyes. She couldn’t believe such a big entertainment company had belonged to her late father. Her father had put the company under an anonymous name, which was part of the reason she knew nothing about it. She ignored all the
Chapter forty-four After glancing through the sales book, Sharon noticed that the company wasn’t even in the top twenty leading companies. She could see how poorly the company had been performing. She sighed making Mrs. Smith a little concerned. “Is something wrong?” Mrs. Smith asked Sharon. The two were walking towards the meeting room. “Not at all.” She responded. “I understand you met the company in a very poor state. I’m really sorry about that.” Mrs. Smith apologized but Sharon knew that it wasn’t her fault. “It’s not your fault.” She smiled faintly at her. “Your father was a good man, I felt so sorry seeing his company going this way after his demise.” Mrs. Smith added. Her father was a good man? Sharon didn’t know much about her father. She doesn’t have such a close relationship with her Father. After her father bought home a new woman, she had lived in the school dorm all her life. “We are here.” Mrs. Smith's voice jolted her out of her thought. She looked up and
Chapter 45After working for more than five hours, Sharon finally stood up from where she was sitting. Her stomach growled aloud, reminding her of how hungry she was. She had been starving for a while, but she decided to be done with her work before grabbing something to eat.She stepped out of her room and walked towards the kitchen, hoping to make some noodles, but she didn’t expect to run into anyone in the living room.Matthew was sitting there busy on his cell phone. Sharon wanted to ignore his presence and stepped into the kitchen, but his voice suddenly stopped her. “Dee told me you were busy. I thought you would be staying in there forever.” Matthew's voice was loud and rude. “I never said I would be dying.” Sharon rolled her eyes at the man’s rudeness before walking into the kitchen.She made herself some nods and waited until it was done. She walked towards her living room to watch a few plates with her plate of food in her hands before returning to her room, but she was s
Chapter forty-six. Sharon was surprised after learning that Matthew was invited to his family get-together. After breakfast, she walked out of the house, and Remo drove her to work. “Good morning, ma’am.” Mrs. Smith greeted her the moment she arrived in her office, and Sharon responded with a smile. “You should set up a meeting with the sales department.” She instructed. Mrs. Smith nodded, and she left Sharon alone in her office. She sent through some files, and after some minutes, Mrs. Smith came to call her for the meeting she had arranged. She walked down the office corridor until she arrived at the meeting room with Mrs. Smith. The staff immediately greeted her, and Sharon returned with a smile before proceeding with the urgent meeting. “First, let's talk about our goals. We must have clear, smart goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I want each of you to understand exactly what we're aiming for and how your performance will be meas
Chapter forty-seven. Sharon's brows snapped together tightly after hearing that. She couldn’t believe Aria could have the guts to come to the company after the lawyer’s warning. “What are we going to do ma’am?” Sharon heard Mrs. Smith's worried voice. “Tell the security department to chase her out. We can’t constitute such a nuisance in the company premises.” Sharon instructed, and she frowned just at the thought of Aria. However, Mrs. Smith was about to say something again when the door burst open behind her. Sharon immediately looked in that direction, and she saw an angry Aria storming in fiercely with the receptionist behind her trying to stop and persuade her. “You can’t do this here, ma’am. This is the CEO’s office.” The receptionist said, and that seemed to annoy Aria completely. Her scrutinizing gaze scanned around the room, and they landed on Sharon. “Did you tell them you are the new CEO?” She smiled loudly. “You can take your leave now, Mrs. Smith, including you two
Chapter 48“You don’t want to go?” Matthew asked her Of course she doesn’t. Sharon knew she would be seeing all the faces that she didn’t ever want to set her eyes on. Sharon clearly remembered how she had been maltreated and looked down on by them. Just the thought of it disgusted and greatly annoyed her. If only she could stop the trip, she would.She gazed out of the window and stared at the beautiful scenery, trying to distract her thoughts.Suddenly she felt a pair of gazes on her. Sharon looked up at Matthew, who obviously had something to say.“What is it? Do I have something on my face?” She asked him.“I was wondering how you are going to react when you run into your ex-husband at his parent's house. Just wondering though.” Matthew shrugged as he said it childishly.Sharon's jaw dropped a little at the man's childishness. She ignored him and continued looking out of the window. After a long drive, Remo finally stopped in front of a building. Sharon looked out of the car, a
