Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 97

Stanley came down in advance to wait for Sharon in this remote corner as a compromise.

Since she was so afraid of her colleagues seeing them, then he would take the initiative to come out first and wait for her.

But she ignored him directly.

Stanley closed the document and his handsome face darkened.

Anthony sat in the front and saw Stanley's displeased expression from the rearview mirror. After thinking for a while, he explained, "Maybe Madam haven't seen the text message. Let's wait for a moment. I'll call her when she comes out."

Stanley rubbed his eyebrows and rested with his eyes closed, thinking about something while waiting for her.

Drumming his slender and beautiful fingers on his knees, he suddenly thought of something, so he opened his eyes and said, "You called me yesterday, saying that you found out the person who helped Sharon, right?"

Anthony's heart skipped a beat, Stanley's words sending chills down his spine. He was so busy today that he totally forgot such an important thing.

He had thought that he would find a good timing to tell Stanley, but he was so occupied with his work.

He totally forgot about this.

Cold sweat oozed from Anthony's back. He felt goosebumps on his scalp and his lips dry. "Boss..."

Stanley observed his trusted assistant's reaction closely. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Anthony shook his head and nodded again. He couldn't say a word as he took his phone from his pocket with his trembling hands and handed it directly to Stanley without looking into his eyes.

"T- This is the surveillance footage that I copied from Madam's father's ward. Just look at it and you'll know."

Stanley took the phone and frowned. "Anthony, is there anything wrong with this video?"

Anthony couldn't say a word, and his hands that were holding the steering wheel sweated profusely. "Boss..."

Stanley didn't bother to ask him, so he clicked on the video directly.

At first, his expression was calm, but when Liam's figure appeared in the video, Stanley's expression quickly changed.

His eyes were wide open but his pupils contracted. Anthony could clearly feel his wrath from the sharp chill in his eyes.

When Sharon walked down the stairs, the cell phone rang in the quiet corridor. It was her phone.

She took it out of her bag and found that it was a call from Liam.

The last time he suddenly confessed his love to her, which greatly shocked her. Then, a few days had passed but he didn't look for her nor send her a text message, and he suddenly called her now. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

Sharon thought for a moment and decided to answer the call, "Hello, Mr. Frazier."

Liam sat in the car, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. "Have you got off work?"

"Yes."

"How did you think about what I said last time?"

He cut to the chase without hesitation.

Sharon walked out slowly and said, "I've thought it over."

"Oh?" Liam smiled softly, even his bewitching eyes were smiling. "Well, since you have thought it over, tell me face to face."

Face to face?

Sharon was stunned. "Where are you?"

A sexy and languid voice sounded on the phone, "Raise your head and look over."

Shocked, Sharon raised her head and looked straight over. Not far away, a red Ferrari was steadily parked on the side of the road. A handsome man leaned against the car and looking at her with a smile.

"Oh my god!"

Sharon cursed and slapped her forehead in frustration.

"I've asked you several times but you refused, so I came straight to you," Liam said, looking as if he was going to walk over to her.

"Stop right there! Don't come over!" Sharon shouted into the phone.

Liam was taken aback, but before he could react, Sharon ran to him at an enormous speed, opened the door, and sneaked inside.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

No one saw it in addition to the Hummer in the distance.

A pair of eyes as cold as snow in the Hummer were looking at them with no expression.

Stanley's body was covered with extremely cold air, and his intensifying anger was terrifying.

Anthony's legs went weak, and his hands on the steering wheel were shaking uncontrollably.

A minute ago, he handed the phone over and watched a video on it. At first, he just frowned, but when Liam appeared in the video and had close contact with Sharon... The expression on Stanley's face disappeared strangely and eerily until there was no expression at the end, but only indifference in his eyes like a pool of lifeless water.

Anthony knew that the beasty wrath in Stanley's heart had been ignited.

Anthony wanted to say something, but he was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word at all.

He had seen Stanley went berserk like an infuriated beast when he was really angry. At that time, he directly shot the person who killed Rebecca in the head that even the four senior bodyguards couldn't stop him.

Liam was somehow involved too. If it hadn't been for the timely appearance of Stanley's father to stop him, Liam would probably have died back then.

Now that Sharon mingled with Liam, he knew how angry Stanley would be.

It was dead silent in the car.

After a long time, Stanley spoke in a low and cold voice, as if he was coming out of hell, "Follow them."

There was no emotion in his tone at all.

"Yes,sir!"

Anthony did not dare to say a word and immediately started the car and left.

He heard a snap and then saw that Stanley snapped the black pen in his hand into two.

Anthony thought, "Why does Madam want to get into Liam's car and let Stanley see it all?"

She would provoke Stanley further!

Liam glanced at Sharon in the front passenger seat. Apparently, she had not recovered yet as she was still panting in exhaustion. His gazes turned hot, and finally, he looked away.

"There is water in the small cabinet. You can drink it."

He said as he drove.

Sharon was indeed a little surprised just now. Licking her lips, she found the water and drank it without hesitation.

Liam narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I put poison in the water?"

She had the mouthful of water in her mouth, not knowing if she should swallow it or spit it out. Sharon blinked in shock and fear as if she had eaten a fly.

Liam laughed. "Are you scared?"

Sharon glared at him angrily. "It is not funny at all!"

Liam didn't expect that she would be so angry, so he was slightly taken aback. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and raised one hand to surrender. "OK, it's my fault. I apologize. Don't be angry, okay?"

He said in such a passionate tone as if he was talking to his lover.

Sharon was a little disgusted, but she pursed her lips since he did not go too far and said, "I have an answer to your question that day..."

"Well, tell me later," Liam interjected.

"Let's have dinner first. We have plenty of time to talk about this after dinner."

After a few contacts, Sharon had a good impression of him at first. He helped her several times, and she was grateful for that, but sometimes she disliked him of late.

He seemed to be particularly serious about courting her and didn't seem like a prank at all.

It seemed that she had to have a good talk with him and make it clear.

Sharon thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, let's eat first."

Liam smiled with satisfaction. When he looked away, he saw a car following them through the rearview mirror. The car's model was too domineering that it was hard to be ignored.

He suddenly realized who was following them.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he squinted his eyes and his gazes turned intense.

Time passed by. Only less than five minutes had passed, but Anthony felt as if half a century had gone.

In the high-end restaurant across the street, a man and a woman sitting by the window were talking and laughing. The scene was so beautiful that it was like a painting.

Anthony did not understand why Sharon agreed to Liam's date.

She was not a single girl. She should think about her status before she went out with a man.

It was extremely silent in the car. He looked over from the rearview mirror and saw Stanley sitting there in the dark, looking sideways. He had no expression on his face and eyes.

It was as if he was looking at two strangers in front of him.

However, the hostility emanating from his body made people shudder.

The amount of hatred Stanley had for Liam would be applied to Sharon too from now on.

He would never allow anyone close to him to have any contact with Liam.

As long as it was something Liam touched, he would throw it away without hesitation, just like throwing away garbage.

Sharon didn't like to eat slowly, so she quickly finished up the food, drank some water, and looked at Liam opposite her.

Having said that in addition to a good-looking face, Liam's table manners were also very polite and elegant.

After clearing her throat, Sharon asked, "Mr. Frazier, can we have a talk now?"

Liam made a "please" gesture. "I asked you out today just to talk about it."

"Then I'll start."

"OK."

"I will not say yes to your advances, and even less likely to be with you." Sharon looked at his eyes, and said seriously, emphasizing word by word, "The reason why I promised to come out to have dinner with you today is that I want to talk this matter completely out with you. I don't want any misunderstanding between us."

After thinking for a while, she added, "Mr. Frazier, have I made myself clear?"

All of a sudden, his good mood was gone.

Liam put down the knife in his hand, pulled the napkin beside him, and wiped his mouth. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, are you going to reject me?"

"Yes, I am."

Sharon nodded without hesitation.

"Are you not satisfied with my offer?"

Liam had investigated Sharon thoroughly and knew that she married Stanley entirely because of her father's medical expenses.

She wanted money, so he could give her as much as she wanted and even more than Stanley could give her. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sharon lowered her gaze and pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile. "I'm very satisfied with your offer. To tell you the truth, it's very tempting."

Liam raised his eyebrows. "If so, why did you reject me?"
