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
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
