Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 35

A warmth flowed through Sharon's heart, and she was so moved that she was about to cry. "I know you care about me, and no, I didn't have a hard time. Goddess, you are so kind. Love you so much!"

Melody chuckled at her wit's end. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me about what happened last night?"

Sharon sighed. It was not that she didn't want to say it, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"Fine, I won't force you. When the time comes, if you want to say it, you will say it naturally."

Melody decided to drop the case. After a pause, she said, "No wonder you know so much about Stanley Jones that even Sierra doesn't know about. You know each other."

That was why Jewel came to Sharon the other day at school, and that they met up.

It was not until last night that Melody finally realized what was going on.

Sharon blurted out, "Have you heard of Stanley?"

Melody rolled her eyes. "I can check on the

Internet myself, alright?"

What's more, last night, that man's friend clearly called out his name "Stanley Jones". Melody searched on the Internet and the answer was self-evident.

She felt that the man looked familiar as if she had seen him somewhere. It was just that Stanley had always kept a low profile and rarely got into the eyes of the media, that was why she couldn't think of him last night.

"In short, you should take good care of yourself and don't do something that you will regret in the future," Melody bit her lip and said.

Sharon was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses. Melody might have misunderstood that she was Stanley's lover, but due to the awkward circumstances, she could only beat around the bush to advise her.

She smiled and nodded. "I know. I won't put myself in an awkward situation."

Melody knew that Sharon was a person with a sense of propriety, so she did not say anything more.

"From the looks of it, Stanley seems to be very nice to you. Last night, he showed up in such a macho way as if he walked out of a movie set. He is indeed really charming. No wonder the girls at school are so eager to know about him. He does have the charisma."

Speaking of the last night, Melody's heart fluttered like a young girl in love. "He is also swift and efficient in solving the problem. This morning, the colleague in the bar called me and told me the good news. The fat man Cohen was beaten up by the boss himself, and then he was asked to pack up and go back to his hometown to eat himself."

Sharon was stunned. "Who is Cohen?"

Melody slapped her forehead and said, "I almost forget about your blackout drunk..."

Melody told Sharon in detail about how she was taken advantage of and how Stanley saved her last night.

After listening for a long time, Sharon was in a daze.

Did he help her last night?

If Melody didn't tell her, she would never know.

And that proud man certainly wouldn't talk about this kind of thing.

There was a mixed feeling in her heart when she heard that.

She was a little touched.

On second thought, maybe there was no other meaning behind Stanley's help. It was simply because he couldn't stand seeing his wife being taken advantage of and helped her out of trouble.

As for other things, she shouldn't overthink it.

Otherwise, it would be very easy for her to be touched by herself pointlessly.

As they were driving toward Fusion Fortune Holdings, Skye briefly told Sharon about the company.

Fusion Fortune Holdings was a relatively small company that had emerged in recent years. Although it was incomparable to the scale of Jones Group, its strength was not to be underestimated.

The media had always been curious about who the boss behind the company since he was able to establish and develop a company to such a big scale in just a few years' time. However, no reporters or media had ever taken photos of the company's president in public.

As an aspired reporter, Sharon was intrigued to explore the truth as she asked curiously, "Skye, has the company's president never shown up in public?"

Skye thought for a moment and shook her head. "It is always the executive president who occasionally appears in front of the media, but the real big boss behind the scene has never appeared."

After a pause, Skye added, "It's said that the reason why the company can rise so smoothly is that the boss behind this company is not simple and has high-ranking officials as his support."

When a company was backed by influential power and family background, it was not surprising that it could quickly gain a foothold and became one of the largest companies.

Sharon nodded, indicating that she understood.

Fusion Fortune Holdings' business focused mainly on entertainment and media. The reason why they had business dealings with Jones Group was that Jones Group had several new products that needed spokespersons for the products' promotion.

Skye brought Sharon out this time because she wanted to get in touch with Fusion Fortune Holdings, meet the department manager and discuss the progress of this matter...

Halfway through the introduction, Skye heard Sharon's cell phone ringing. Sharon thought that it was from Melody, but when she took out her phone and looked at it, it was an unknown number.

Uh...

Sharon answered tentatively, "Hello, who's this?"

"Miss Cruz, it's me."

The caller's voice was very pleasant, and there was a hint of casualness in his lazy voice, which made people feel numb in their hearts.

It turned out that not only a woman's voice could make men feel numb, but a man's voice could also make women feel sexy.

Sharon recognized this voice as she heard it yesterday. "M-Mr. Frazier?"

Liam smiled happily. "Miss Cruz, do you still remember me?"

"Of course! You're my lifesaver. How can I forget about you?" Sharon lowered her voice and asked, "By the way, Mr. Frazier, how do you know my phone number?"

"Have you forgotten? I asked you for it yesterday."

"Have I called you? Why don't I have any impression..."

Sharon muttered to herself, "Did I forget about this when I was drunk yesterday?"

Liam changed the subject, his voice was as melodious as a violin. "Miss Cruz, the reason I call today because I want to invite you out for a meal."

Sharon looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, I don't have time today. I'm busy with work now, and I'll go out for dinner with my colleagues tonight."

Sharon shouldn't have refused her savor's invitation, but she really didn't have the time.

"Oh, I see."

The man responded, the disappointment was obvious in his tone.

Sharon became more and more embarrassed. "Mr. Frazier, let's take a rain check on the meal."

The driver in front of them slowed down and looked back at them. "Skye, Fusion Fortune Holdings is in front, but I can't park at the entrance of the company. Why don't you go down here first? I'll go find a place to park the car."

Fusion Fortune Holdings?

On the other side of the phone, Liam arched his eyebrows.

Sharon had to get off the car with Skye. There was no sound on the phone, so Sharon mumbled, "I didn't hang up. Why is there no sound?"

"Ahem, I'm still here."

There was a noise from the other end of the line.

Sharon was embarrassed and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, I have to get back to work now. I'll call you next time."

With that, Sharon was about to hang up the phone when Liam asked, "Are you at Fusion Fortune Holdings?"

"Yes, I'm here for some official business. What's the matter? Do you also know about the company?"

Liam smiled. "Yes. Well, I better don't hold you back since you are busy."

After a pause, he added meaningfully, "I'm looking forward to our next meeting." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Uh, l-l am looking forward to it too."

Sharon gave a dry smile and replied politely.
