Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 256

Secretary Yang turned around and saw that it was Mr. Jone's confidant. With a smile, he said, "Charles, I'm not complaining, it's just that a woman was looking for Mr. Jones, but I have dismissed her."

"Oh?" Anthony replied, "A woman?"

"Yes, another woman actually came earlier this afternoon. She even bought a child, and I noticed that Mr. Jones was unhappy. Therefore, when this woman came in, I asked her to leave."

Then, Secretary Yang pointed to the reception room and said, "But she did not want to leave and insisted to wait for Mr. Jones. She even had the guts to say that she was his wife..."

"Where is she?"

Anthony's expression changed as he asked.

Taken aback by the sudden change of expression, the secretary pointed at the room. "Um... In there."

Immediately, Anthony went over thinking whether it could be Sharon. When he pushed open the door, it was really Sharon.

"Mrs. Jones!" Anthony closed the door and called out. "Why are you here?"

Turning her head, Sharon saw Anthony at a glance. She stood up and pursed her lips. "I... I'm looking for Stanley. The secretary refused to let me in since I did not make an appointment..."

"I will ask Mr. Jones to fire him tomorrow!"

Seeing that her expression was not good, Anthony thought that by saying some exaggerated words it would cheer her up.

Forcing a smile on her face, Sharon still did not look great.

Anthony cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Jones, let me take you to meet him."

With that, Sharon nodded and followed him.

"Mrs. Jones, why didn't you call him?" Anthony opened the door for her.

Startled for a moment, Sharon then opened her mouth and said, "I... forgot."

Before coming here, her mind was a mess, and she had been overthinking. All she wanted was to see Stanley as soon as possible, with no expectation that she would be stopped.

While she was waiting, her mind was again filled with Shawn's words.

Why did he do that? To break their relationship? Or just intentionally hurting her?

If she had believed him, she would fall into Shawn's trap...

No! She could not believe him! Never!

But from the bottom of her heart, a voice was filled with doubt...

"Mr. Jones!"

Anthony's voice pulled back Sharon's thoughts. When she raised her head, she could see Stanley walking out of his office. He was tall and straight with a clean white shirt wrapped around his tight body. Looking elegant and refined, he wore a pair of glasses, and his sleeves were rolled up, which revealed his strong forearm. He was also holding a teacup.

Obviously, Stanley did not expect to see her as his eyes flashed with astonishment upon seeing her.

The moment Sharon saw him, all her suspicions vanished without a trace. In a flash, she ran towards the man.

Subconsciously, Stanley opened his arms while Sharon threw herself into his embrace, hugging him tightly.

Anthony looked at her in surprise. Well... Usually, didn't Mrs. Jones hate that outsiders knew about her relationship with Mr. Jones?

On the other hand, seeing that Sharon was hugging their boss, all the secretaries stood up from their chairs in unison with their eyes and mouths, gaping in shock.

Stanley held a cup in one hand, and his other hand was circled around Sharon. He could clearly feel her tight hug.

Never had she been so intimate with him in front of strangers, so Stanley was a little surprised. Lowering his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without saying a word, Sharon buried her face in his arms, and only shook her head.

Everyone in the room was still shocked and was unable to recover.

Especially Secretary Yang, he roared in his heart, "What's going on? Why is this woman in Mr. Jones' arm? Also, why isn't the usually indifferent Mr. Jones pushing her away? It's doesn't make any sense!"

"Ahem." Stanley cleared his throat and handed over the cup in his hand. A keen secretary immediately went to get it. Despite everyone's shocking gaze, Stanley carried the woman in his arms into the office.

The door slammed shut and Stanley pressed the woman against the door. Lifting her small face and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me, who bullied you?"

Otherwise, why would Sharon come running to him without even caring about what others would think?

"Nothing..."

Sharon lowered her eyelashes and shook her head.

With a frown, Stanley continued, "Are you sure?"

"Yup."

After a long silence in the office, Stanley said, "Fine, if you're not willing to tell me then I won't ask."

It wasn't that Sharon did not want to ask, she was just scared.

Sharon did not know why, but she felt a sense of worry and panic in her heart. She was scared that if she had asked, the answer would be hard for her to accept.

"You don't look good." Stanley frowned. "Are you not feeling well? Let's get you to the hospital."

"It's okay!" Sharon stopped him. "I'm fine. I'm just a little thirsty. I want some water, is there anything to drink..."

Stanley was rendered speechless. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

After gulping down some warm water, Sharon felt much more comfortable. Taking over the empty cup, Anthony asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you want to eat anything? I'll prepare it for you."

As soon as her body relaxed, she felt much better. Licking her lips, Sharon was actually a little hungry. "Is there any snack? It would be great if it's something sour."

"Yes, I'll ask someone to buy it. Please give me some time."

"Thank you, Charles."

Anthony nodded and went out.

Standing on the other side, Stanley kept looking at her. He knew that she must have encountered something unhappy. Otherwise, she would not have suddenly come to him. But she refused to speak of it.

What was there to hide from him?

As he thought of this, the expression on Stanley's face sunk. Then, he walked towards Sharon on the sofa and said, "There is an old saying, 'for boys, it's sour and for girls, it's spicy' It seems that our first child must be a son."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Sharon was dumbfounded. "Son?"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't want a son. I want a daughter."

How nice would it be to have a girl! She would be mommy's little girl. Cute and sweet. If she just put on a small show of affection, it could melt everyone's heart.

Stanley's lips curled into a smile. "The first child must be a son, and the second we'll then have a daughter."

As he spoke, Stanley sat down beside her and tucked her long hair behind her ear. "Besides, it's better to have a son as the first child."

Raising her eyebrows, she questioned "Why?"

"If you give birth to a boy, he can help me take care of you. If we have a baby girl with the same character as you, I'll be worried."

Sharon was speechless. How could he tease her like this!

In no time, Anthony came back with a pile of small snacks. Sharon was surprised. "That's quick!"

It did not even take him a few minutes.

"These are all from the secretaries outside. I planned to get someone to buy them, but several secretaries took them out of the drawer like magic." Anthony was still confused. "It felt like they were offering treasures. They told me that if it's not enough, I can still get more from them."

Sharon did not know what to say.

Looking at the small snacks, Stanley raised his eyebrows. "They brought food to the company during work hours, so there should be a fine. For Sharon's sake, I'll pretend I did not see it."

Both Sharon and Anthony remained silent.

It took a long time for Stanley to end the on-the- call meeting. When he put down the phone and looked at the woman on the sofa, he froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

She had fallen asleep.

It was probably because she got bored waiting for him.

He found the remote control, and adjusted the temperature. Then, he sat on the chair and stared at Sharon's sweet sleeping face. His slender fingers were tapping on the table. At the end, he found a phone number and dialed it.
