Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 295

At the Warner Group.

When the secretary knocked on the door and entered, Stanley was busy dealing with a contract. The moment he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously looked up and saw the secretary holding a lunch box in her hand.

"What's this?" After he closed the document, he asked.

The secretary then went forward and placed the lunch box next to him. "Mr. Warner, this was sent by a young lady just now. She said that it's a lunch box, and she left right after. I didn't even have the time to ask."

After Stanley heard that answer, his eyes narrowed. "How does she look like?"

"She seems quite pretty. When she smiles, her eyes curve, and she has a sweet voice."

"Yes." As soon as she opened the lid of the lunch box, there was a strong fragrance. It was lunchtime, and the food in the lunch box seemed attractive, which made the secretary swallowed her saliva subconsciously. "It smells so good... Could it be Miss Warner who sent someone to deliver it?"

The marriage between Mr. Warner and Miss Warner was not a secret in the Warner Group. Almost everyone knew they were a couple and would get married in the future. Therefore, it was normal for Miss Warner to send a hearty lunchbox to the office.

When Stanley heard the secretary's words, his brows relaxed, and he didn't think too much about it. "It's possible that she was the one who sent it. Just put it aside first, and you may leave."

"Okay." The secretary then turned around and left.

At first, Stanley wanted to finish dealing with the documents in his hands before he enjoyed his meal. However, before he could finish his work, the food next to him was so fragrant that his appetite wavered. Hence, Stanley placed the documents aside and started to eat.

After he took the first bite, he knew it was not Ayana's cooking.

It was because he knew that Ayana's cooking skills were not that good.

During the year he spent with her abroad, he often ate dishes prepared by her. Although it was not inedible, it was not really tasty either.

The taste of the food was... As he slowly narrowed his eyes, he realized it tasted familiar. In fact, it tasted just like the supper that Miss Cruz prepared at his place last night.

Could it be sent by her?

Just then, he glanced at the bag of the lunchbox and saw that there seemed to be something in the food bag...

After Stanley put down his chopsticks, he took it out to have a look. It was a small envelope, and when he opened it, he saw a note that said, "It's lunchtime, so don't starve yourself. If it's delicious, I'll send it again tomorrow."

At the end of the note was a cute and cheeky smiley face.

There was no signature, and it didn't state who it was from or what she was up to. As Stanley thought about it, he frowned and wondered what Sharon was up to.

At that moment, Stanley's mood suddenly sunk because he hated it whenever someone did something secretive behind his back. After that, Stanley threw the lunch box aside and ignored it.

Subsequently, for the next week at noon every day, there would be the same food box placed on Stanley's office table.

Other than that, he would also receive a small card, either with words to make him happy or to remind him to eat well.

Every time Stanley finished reading, he would throw the card aside.

However, on this day, past 12 o'clock pm, he felt like there was something impetuous in his heart. In fact, he did not have the mood to deal with work, and his attention also began to be distracted.

The feeling went on until his secretary came in and reminded him, "Mr. Warner, it's lunchtime. Are you going to have your lunch in the office, or do you need me to order a meal for you?"

At that moment, Stanley suddenly realized that Sharon had stopped sending lunchboxes to him after a week.

That was why he felt something was off.

When Stanley realized it, his face darkened. "Where's the lunchbox that I have been receiving over the past few days? She didn't deliver it today?"

Stunned at his words, the secretary didn't expect him to be upset because of that matter. Subconsciously, she answered, "She didn't send any today. Didn't you ask me to inform the lady every day that you would throw all her lunchboxes away and ask her not to send any more in the future, Mr. Warner?"

Indeed, every day, Stanley would explain to his secretary that as long as Sharon came over, he would get his secretary to put her off.

The purpose of that was to make Sharon give up.

However, when Sharon knew about this, not only did she not retreat, but she also gradually became braver. Over the past week, she had been delivering lunchboxes daily. Continuously, she made trips to the office as if those blows were useless to her.

When Stanley heard that, his face gradually darkened. After that, he decided to give Sharon a call. However, when the call was connected, he only heard a cold female voice that said, "Sorry, the number you've dialed cannot be reached at the moment, please try again later..."

At that moment, Stanley felt as if he was splashed with a bucket of cold water and was stunned for a moment. Then, he started to question his actions.

Didn't they agree to draw a clear line between them?

Besides, it was her who came to look for him!

After that, Stanley put his phone away, and his face turned even darker. "I don't have the appetite, so I will not be eating. Go and prepare for the meeting later as we will be starting early."

All this while, Mr. Warner had always been efficient in his work. Every week, he would hold meetings with several senior executives of the Warner Group, and every employee in the Warner Group was afraid of the ruthless Mr. Warner.

Alertly, the secretary hurriedly answered, "Got it, I'll go and prepare now."

In the next three days, other than the secretary, the sales manager also started to feel that Stanley was acting slightly off.

During lunch, managers from multiple departments of the Warner Group had gathered together and softly gossiped about the recent unpredictable temper of Stanley, "Mr. Warner has been even more unpredictable these days. He has no expressions on his face, and even Manager Yang, who is an expert at figuring out Mr. Warner's mood, has no idea what's wrong with Mr. Warner for the past few days."

"Indeed. During the meeting that was held the day before yesterday, his face was so dark, and he even criticized some of the managers, including the senior members of the Warner Group. Even Mr. Warner Senior dare not to scold him, but this Mr. Warner just scolded him without didn't give him any face. It was so arrogant of him!"

"I mean, since Mr. Warner is the life-saver of the Warner Group, he could even dismiss them if he wanted to!" The colleague said, with obvious envy on his face. "I don't know how the least favored Miss Warner could manage to find such a powerful person. Tsk, with such a son-in-law, the Warner Group can be said to have been included in the circle of the upper-class people in this life!"

When they were gossiping, they suddenly felt a weird atmosphere behind them, and there was a cold feeling on their spine.

The manager, who had just spoken, then raised his head and was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair. "M-Mr. Warner?"

Right behind them, was Stanley who looked at them coldly.

When they saw him, they were all shocked. Immediately, they all thought whether or not they had gone too far during the discussion earlier...

Just as they were busy worrying, Stanley, who had pursed his lips tightly, finally opened his mouth. "Did you guys just say that my temper has been bad for the past few days?"

Without the guts to admit, they all shook their heads and said, "No, no, I didn't say that. You must have misheard me, Mr. Warner."

Slowly, Stanley narrowed his eyes. Even though he wasn't angry, they all felt a sense of danger as he asked, "So it's a no, huh?"

These people had worked for him in the past few years, so they understood his temper well. Now, it was obvious that he was furious because of his tone that rose.

None of them dared to lie, and they all looked embarrassed. "We know that you always lose your temper because you are having a bad day. I mean, we are all human, and as long as we have emotions, our moods will definitely fluctuate..."

Slightly stunned, Stanley stood frozen because he knew that he clearly had been having strange mood swings recently!

Why was he in a bad mood? Was it because Sharon had disappeared for more than a week?

An extremely complicated feeling flashed across his dark and deep eyes. The fact that she had been missing, would it be that she had returned to Beachmarsh? Also, he remembered that she once said that his house was in Beachmarsh...

Beachmarsh City... It seemed that it was time for him to go there...
