Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 93

It turned into an awkward silence.

He didn't say anything for such a long time; he didn't like it, did he?

"Well..." Sharon stretched out her hand and was about to take back the watch. "I made a mistake. This is not for you..."

The man slapped her hand away and said coldly, "It's not for me? Who are you giving it to?"

He asked in a questioning tone.

Sharon was a little confused. "You don't like it..."

"Who said that I don't like it?" Stanley interrupted her flatly. He slowly opened the button of his sleeve and casually rolled it up, revealing his firm arm.

Sharon was stunned. "What are you doing?"

Stanley ignored her. He took off his watch on his wrist, threw it aside, and wore the watch that Sharon gave him.

Sharon stared at him in disbelief.

Was he out of his mind?

He tossed away his million-dollar watch just like that! Was he insane?

Sharon's heart ached so much at the sight that she quickly picked the watch up and checked it like a treasure, hoping that it was not broken. She had seen this watch in the magazine. It was so expensive that it was almost equal to an apartment.

"Although the quality is not great, I like the style," Stanley said flatly.

Sharon looked up and saw a smile in his eyes. He said, "I like it very much."

Sharon was startled. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He had such a pretty smile.

Sure enough, the rarer the item, the more precious it was.

Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have never seen his sincere smile. He was always so cold and his eyebrows seemed to be always frowning. Even if he smiled occasionally, it was not a genuine smile.

His smile right now came sincerely from his heart that could mesmerize the people who looked at it.

Stanley stretched out his hand and flicked on her forehead. "Hey, focus."

Sharon immediately came to her senses and growled, "Ouch!"

"Keep that watch. If you like it, I'll ask Anthony to get you a women's version."

He saw that she had been holding the watch he took off all the time, thinking that she liked it.

How could Sharon accept such a valuable gift? She would definitely not afford to pay him back at that time. She had already owed him so much.

She didn't say anything, just smiled faintly and said, "Let's go. I'm hungry."

"Okay."

He answered and seemed to be in a good mood.

In the evening, Sharon asked Melody to join them for dinner. Sharon had spent so much on the gift in order to apologize to him, so she took advantage of this opportunity to make him pay for dinner.

She chose the largest restaurant, ordered the most expensive dishes, and started indulging in the food.

Stanley's expression was indifferent and nonchalant. There was a faint smile on his handsome face as he looked at the mediocre watch on his wrist.

His lack of response made the pleasure of Sharon's "revenge" suddenly decreased significantly.

How much could this meal cost him anyway? He wouldn't mind at all no matter how expensive the bill was.

Sharon growled indignantly. How could there be such a big gap between them? He was so wealthy he didn't have to check the price of anything, yet she was so poor her gift seemed so cheapskate.

Melody smiled in amusement as she watched the interaction between them. She did not say anything and just lowered her head to eat.

After the dinner, being a gracious gentleman, Stanley offered to send Melody home, but she waved her hand, rejected his offer, and quickly hailed a taxi and left.

Sharon did not even manage to say goodbye to her.

She left in such a hurry.

"Let's go back too."

Stanley's voice pulled back her soul.

Sharon nodded and was about to leave with him.

"Mr. Jones!" a male voice resonated behind them abruptly.

Sharon looked back and was surprised by what she saw. She turned back and tried to run, but Stanley instinctively grabbed her. "Why are you running away?"

Sharon panicked. "Let me go!"

But it was too late. Troy had already come to them. "Mr. Jones, Miss Cruz, are you also here for dinner?"

The person who came was none other than the manager Troy Wilson.

Upon hearing Troy's greeting, Sharon, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows and felt suspicious.

"You're here too. What a coincidence." Stanley nodded his head in an indifferent way as a way of greeting.

"Yeah, I came here to have dinner with my wife and children. I just came out and saw you and Miss Cruz. What a coincidence indeed."

Stanley exchanged pleasantries with him. Sensing his indifference, Troy was smart enough to get the hint and was about to leave.

"Mr. Wilson, wait."

However, Sharon said.

Troy immediately stopped and asked, "Miss Cruz, is there anything else?"

Taking a deep breath, Sharon pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Wilson, why aren't you surprised to see me with Mr. Jones?"

It became eerily quiet.

Troy was a little startled. He did not expect that Sharon would suddenly ask such a question, so his mind began to run at a high speed to think of an answer. "Uh... I'm... just..."

For a moment, he couldn't think of what to say, so he looked at Stanley frequently, hinting him for help.

Stanley raised his eyebrows instead and did not say anything.

Troy started to sweat on his forehead.

"What should I do? How should I explain it to her? Ah, the president is forcing his employees to the dead-end!"

Troy thought anxiously.

"Mr. Wilson, why don't you answer me?" Sharon took a step forward with straight eyes.

Troy didn't dare to look into her eyes anymore.

"..."

Finally...

Stanley who couldn't stand it said, "Troy, you can leave first."

Alright!

As if he was pardoned, Troy quickly responded and said, "Okay!"

Then he turned around and ran away.

Sharon turned around and glared at Stanley. "Is it because of you that I was accepted by Jones Group?"

Taking a glance at her, Stanley walked to the parking lot without saying a word.

Trotting after him, Sharon was so angry that she was huffing and puffing. "Speak!"

He unlocked the car door, opened the door of the front passenger seat, and said, raising his chin, "Get in the car."

"If you don't tell me, I won't!"

"If you don't, believe it or not, I'll f*ck you right here!"

Sharon glared at him indignantly.

What a b*stard!

Sharon blushed and hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, there was no one around. She gritted her teeth, bent down, and sat in the car.

Soon, he sat behind the wheels. Before Sharon spoke, he said, "If it weren't for me, do you think you can join Jones Group with your qualification?"

The little wrath of fury instantly extinguished as soon as she heard his remark.

Sharon stared in a daze and felt a little heartache. Originally, she thought that she got the job in the big company because of her qualification, but the truth was he pulled some strings to get her in.

It did not feel good.

She sat in the passenger seat sullenly. She was in a low mood and did not say a word.

Stanley glanced at her and frowned, but he didn't say anything either.

Half an hour later, they got home.

"Welcome home!"

Seeing them enter the door, Hazel greeted them.

Sharon nodded solemnly and went upstairs.

Stanley narrowed his eyes and followed her.

Hazel was confused and mumbled to herself, "What's wrong with them this time?"

In the bedroom on the second floor.

Sharon came out after taking a shower, but there was no one in the room. She dried her hair and was about to sleep when the door suddenly opened.

Stanley came in from the outside. His upper body was naked, revealing his sturdy and solid muscles. His abdominal muscles were prominent, and his Apollo's belt was quite seductive.

He came towards her with only a bath towel on.

He was walking closer and closer to her.

He walked towards her without hesitation and with no intention to stop.

"Hey!"

Sharon hurriedly retreated. "S-Stop! Hey..."

He stretched his arm out to her shoulder and pressed her directly into the soft sofa.

She slammed into the sofa abruptly, but luckily it didn't hurt very much. Sharon opened her eyes and saw his handsome face right in front of her face.

What was he going to do?

Sharon swallowed anxiously.

"First of all, before you joined Jones Group, you wanted to ask me for a favor, but you didn't say it out because of your dignity and self- esteem. So now that you know that I have cut some slacks to help you in, you don't have to be so pissed."

"Secondly, you're just a young college girl who hasn't even graduated and you don't have any working experience, so it's reasonable for a company as big as Jones Group to reject your application."

"Number three..."

At this point, Stanley lifted her chin and looked straight into her eyes with his deep gazes. "Sharon Cruz, you are the first and the last person who I'd cut some slacks to let you join Jones Group. Some people would dream to have this kind of unprecedented treatment but I won't give it to them. Do you understand?"

She was special.

Sharon felt her heart thumping vigorously. Her brain was buzzing in a daze that she couldn't keep up with him.

Sharon who was lying under him looked at him with a pair of confused eyes, looking a little silly and lovely.

There was some agitation in his heart. Stanley lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips.

"Hiss..."

Sharon was pulled back to her senses forcibly due to the pain.

He was biting her!

"Hey... what are you doing..." Sharon reached out to push him and uttered a few words vaguely.

Stanley was a tall and strong man. How could the tiny Sharon push him away?

Her rebellious hands were quickly pressed to her side by him.

As if he was punishing her, he took a bite of her soft lower lip and breathed heavily. "Jewel's check. You just want to throw it in front of me as a piece of evidence, huh?"

Sharon opened her eyes wide in shock and blurted out, "How did you know that?"

Stanley sneered, "There's nothing I don't know!"

Sharon was rendered speechless.

What an arrogant man.

His gazes were burning hot as if he wanted to penetrate her hearts. Sharon's heart was throbbing violently, biting her lips and avoiding his gaze by turning her head away.

She felt a tight grip on her chin. The big hand clasped her chin and forcibly turned her face back

His glances were sharp. "Talk!"

His grip was hurting her, so Sharon frowned and said, "I know that Jewel is very important to you, so I dare not speak ill of her in front of you. I have to take her money first so that I can talk to you

about her with a piece of evidence in my hand..."

After a pause, she added, "But it doesn't matter now. You've torn the check into pieces."

Stanley laughed out of anger at her tone. "Did it break your heart?"

"Of course! That's one hundred thousand. Of course, I'm heartbroken after losing so much money."

"I'll give you one hundred thousand tomorrow."

"Ahem!"

Sharon was shocked and thought, "I know that you're rich, but you don't have to take it out like that."

As the night fell, his deep eyes darkened like a magical lake. He leaned in again, but before he kissed her, he said, "Jewel is very important to me because I was entrusted by her brother to take good care of her."

Sharon mumbled, "You are such a warm person to take care of someone else's sister..." "Sharon!" Stanley shouted her name with a serious look in his eyes. "Her brother has sacrificed his life for our country. We live and die together on the battlefield. His family is my family!"
