Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 5

Sharon glanced at Sierra. "Do you want to know whether it is true or not?"

"Of course."

Sharon nodded and extended a finger. Sierra gritted her teeth. "Fine. I'll add ten bucks!"

Sharon smiled and said, "Sierra Sweetie, don't be so naive. This kind of question worths at least a thousand bucks."

Sierra was enraged. "This is a scam!"

"Oh no, you're wrong. How can you say that I scam you? It's a matter of mutual agreement. You give me money, and I will sell you my information. It's nothing more than a normal transaction; it's business as usual. You get what you want from me, and I can get what I want." Sharon flicked the money in her hand. "Killing two birds with one stone, don't you agree?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sierra stared at her blankly.

Sharon smiled and waved. "See ya! Remember to come to me again if you want to know more details."

She turned around and left, as cunning as a little fox but Sierra came to her senses and shouted at Sharon back, "Sharon, come back!" 'If I go back, I'm an idiot!' Sharon roasted in her heart.

She quickened her pace.

Sierra was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Hey, tell me, how did you know about all these things?"

How did Sharon, a good girl who didn't even gossip about entertainment news, know Stanley's personality and preferences so well? These were the things that even she, the Informant, did not know about.

"Stop right there! You can't go unless you make it clear! Otherwise, give me back my money!"

Sierra strode over to chase after Sharon.

"Sh*t!" Sharon glanced at the girl chasing behind her and cursed.

Just as she was worried about what to do next, an angelic-like voice suddenly sounded. "Sierra, try to chase her again and see."

Sharon rushed to the girl and hugged her. "My Goddess."

Melody Graham had been learning Taekwondo since she was a child. Now, she was at the eighth dan of Black Belt. The weak woman was no match for her.

Melody raised her eyebrows and looked at Sierra. Sierra swallowed sheepishly, knowing what Melody was capable of. She glared at them and left unwillingly.

Sharon really wanted to kiss Melody so badly for her timely arrival but Melody gave her a cold look and said, "Follow me."

"Okay."

The heroine who saved the damsel in distress was her best friend and also a cold and elegant belle in school.

Melody took Sharon out of the school gate and turned left into a noodle stall. Sharon was wondering whether something was wrong with Melody, so she did not notice a black Hummer coming from

behind.

At the noodle stall.

"It's my treat. You can order whatever you like." Sharon proudly put the money she had earned from Sierra on the table.

Melody took out a pair of chopsticks and said with a faint smile, "Are you rich now?"

"Haha, I just earned it."

"How much did you make?"

Sharon pursed her lips. "Sierra is too stingy. I can't make much money from her..."

"Sharon Cruz!" Melody slammed the table and suddenly raised her voice.

Sharon jumped in shock. She patted her chest and blinked her big eyes in bewilderment. "Uhm, what's the matter?"

"Drop the act!" Melody was very angry. "When will you stop doing such a shady business?"

"It's not shady. It's a lucrative business..."

"Business?" Melody looked very disappointed at Sharon. "In the winter, you bring them takeouts for two bucks per trip; in the summer, you buy them drinks and only earn one buck per bottle; you even go as far as buying sanitary pads for them from the supermarket. You even buy condoms forthem. Uh!"

Blushing in embarrassment, Sharon covered Melody's mouth and muttered, "Keep your voice down. Others are looking at me. It's so embarrassing. I'm still a little girl."

Melody was rendered speechless.

Sharon blinked her big eyes that were like gems soaked in the springwater. "Fine, I know I'm wrong. Our holiday is just around the corner. I will stop doing these mediocre trades. I can earn big money with a part-time summer job."

Speaking of this, she was a little excited as her face sparkled brightly.

Melody sighed and pushed Sharon's hand away. "Tell me, why do you do this kind of errand work at school?"

Sharon lowered her eyes and smiled. "College life is too boring and dull. I'm a good student. I can develop a good friendship with my classmates as well as earn some pocket money for myself. Why not?"

She needed money for many reasons: her father who was lying in the hospital, her living expenses, and her tuition fee. Everything needed money. She could not survive in this world if she had no money.

Although the money she earned was not much, she was able to accumulate them. One day, she would make a lot of money, take over her father's medical expenses, and pay back the money she owed to the Jones Family.
