Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 362

In the past two days, Jimmy and Ariah had undergone many problems with their marriage. As for Sharon, she originally planned to resign from her job, but Stanley had asked her to go two days later because he was afraid that Isai would wait for her in her company.

Her colleagues were shocked when they knew she wanted to resign, for she was quite close to them for the past two to three years.

They were aware that Sharon had been absent for three days. Initially, they thought that she had been ill, so the news that she was going to resign was quite unacceptable to them.

"Sharon, how could you leave so quickly? It's so sudden. Did you face any problems? Was that why you suddenly made this decision?" The cameraman was the eldest in their team, so he often called her Sharon.

Smilingly, she shook her head. "No, I'm doing well. Don't think too much about it. It's just that I want to have a good break after working for so many years. I wish to go on a trip or something."

Left with no choice, she could only tell a white lie after careful consideration.

"If you want to release stress, you can always apply for leave. Why do you have to resign?"

"Yes, that's right."

They were truly treating her well, which was quite touching for her. After she explained for half a day, they finally could accept the fact that she really had to resign.

After packed up her things, Mark appeared. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and this man surprisingly looked a little gaunt now.

"Sharon..."

With a grin, she said, "I've resigned today, so I won't be here again in the future. Keep working hard. It won't take more than two years for you to get a promotion. I have faith in you."

Mark's eyes slowly turned red. "Sharon, a-are you leaving because of me? After you made it clear to me that day, I went to Shawn and told him honestly that I didn't want to tell him anything about you. Please don't resign, or my conscience will be uneasy..."

"It's not because of you. Don't worry." Sharon was surprised to learn that he would blame himself. Following a sigh, she said, "I was very angry when I first found out that you were sent by Shawn. However, in the past few years, you've always been by my side, and you have never done anything to hurt me. Instead, you've helped me a lot, so I'm no longer angry at you."

She did not know why he would listen to Shawn's words, but she believed that perhaps everyone had his own difficulties.

As soon as she thought about it, she was no longer gripped by displeasure.

Then, Mark helped her take her belongings out of the company. Stanley had been waiting for her at the exit of her company. When he saw her coming out with a man, he could not help but squint his eyes.

After taking his coat, Stanley strode over. That stunned Sharon who was talking to Mark. "Didn't I tell you to wait in the car?"

Stanley's appearance was too outstanding, so she didn't want him to follow her into the company, or else there would definitely be a commotion.

"It's cold now," he said flatly. After that, he put the coat on her back. After that, he took the box from her hands and sized Mark up with his sharp eyes. "Who is this?"

Mark could sense the hostility in Stanley's eyes at a glance. Although he was curious about her relationship with this man, he still held back his curiosity and did not ask anything. Immediately, he explained, "We're colleagues. I'm here to see her out."

In response, Stanley slowly narrowed his eyes. He had heard this voice before. The first day he went to the kindergarten to pick up the children, he had made a call to Sharon, but she didn't pick up. This was the voice that answered the phone.

Later on, she told him that she didn't receive any phone calls, which meant this man didn't tell her that Stanley had tried to contact her.

What was he up to?

Stanley let out a sneering hum.

It was obvious that he was angry and had been regarding Mark as an enemy. Although she was not sure about the exact reason, she knew that she had to bring Stanley away from Mark.

Otherwise, something bad might happen to her colleague.

Thinking of this, Sharon immediately grabbed Stanley's hand and left the company. While walking out, she winked at Mark who was behind them, and her facial expression seemed to tell him that they could chat again in the future.

As a smart man, Mark understood her message and quickly left, especially after seeing how formidable Stanley looked just now.

Upon getting into the car, Sharon let out a sigh of relief. As she turned around, she was met with Stanley's glacial eyes.

That rendered her speechless.

Being gazed at by him, she could only hold her breath and ask, "Uh, what do you want?"

"Explain to me," he said coldly.

She pretended not to understand. "What do you mean? What did you just say? I don't understand..."

"Sharon!" Stanley suddenly growled. "Are you acting cute like our daughter? It won't work for me!"

She was so scared that she was plunged into silence.

Well, she admitted, she learned the antics from Sadie. Every time she made a mistake, she would blink her big, innocent eyes and pitifully said, "Mom, what do you mean by that? I don't understand..."

Sure enough, only a child could act cute in an authentic manner. Did that mean she couldn't act cute at all?

"Mark has been taking care of me at work for

two years. Do you want to scare him by putting on a straight face?"

In response, Stanley coldly snorted, "He's harboring some ulterior motives. Try to avoid interacting with him in the future."

This startled Sharon. "Ulterior motives? What do you mean by that?"

As he frowned, he silently glanced at her with his lips pursed.

Her curiosity was thus piqued. "Tell me, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Since he had always been perceptive, could he have sensed something that she failed to notice?

At the thought of this, she immediately urged, "What do you mean by that? Tell me, please."

With a sigh, he pinched the space between his eyebrows and replied, "Can't you tell that your colleague likes you?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

What?

Sharon was dumbfounded.

Mark liked her?

It was indeed funny to hear that.

Nevertheless, Stanley looked very serious as he said that. With a frown, she responded, "You've misunderstood us, haven't you? How do you know that Mark likes me?"

Upon her request, he told her how he tried to contact her and how Mark did not tell her that he had answered the phone on her behalf.

Once Stanley narrated that experience, both of them remained silent.

After a long time, Sharon burst out laughing uncontrollably. "Do you think that he likes me just because he didn't inform me you had called me? Hahaha!"

Sharon was cackling so hard that she could no longer catch her breath.

Instantly, Stanley's face darkened.

The atmosphere was stifling in the car.

Therefore, Sharon began to keep quiet, or else he would really blow a gasket. However, while she was clearing her throat, her shoulders were still jerking uncontrollably.

"What's going on actually?" Seeing how jovial she was, he forcibly pressed her firmly on the back of the chair and yelled, "Tell me now!"
