Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 608

"Ah, there's no need." Sharon hurriedly waved her hand. "You can go back to your work."

Ariah nodded at her with a smile.

Somehow, she felt that Ariah's smile was a little strange, but she said nothing and pushed open the door.

"Sharon."

Suddenly, Ariah patted her shoulder and stopped her.

"What's the matter, Ariah?"

"Look, what's this?"

Ariah dangled something in front of her eyes.

Right then, her thoughts froze, and she felt the world grew silent.

All she could hear now was Ariah's voice, which was soft but firm, hitting straight at her heart. "Go to sleep..."

Slowly, Sharon's body went limp, and she fell.

Ariah caught her body just in time, then helped her to a chair.

"Sharon?"

Ariah waved her hand in front of Sharon.

Blinking, Sharon finally regained her senses in a daze. "Ariah..."

Ariah propped up her chin and smiled at her. "Why were you in a daze just now?"

She shook her head. "I don't know..."

"Well, I called you several times, but you didn't respond."

"I see."

Sharon frowned, thinking that something was strange, but she didn't know what yet.

The two of them chatted for a while before Ariah's patient had come, so Sharon had to go back.

Thinking that there was no one at home, as the kids had gone to Ember's place, Sharon called a cab to Stanley's company.

After the meeting, Stanley went back to his office and saw Sharon curling up in his office chair, watching Netflix while holding a cup of hot tea.

He was surprised.

At the same time, Sharon also spotted him and quickly waved at him. "Honey, come here. I bought you a cake."

The group of managers behind Stanley were dumbfounded.

However, Sharon didn't notice them as her sight was blocked by the computer

At the same time, Rohan recognized her so he was first to react. "Well, Mr. Jones, we'd better go out first. I'll bring the report in later."

Saying that, he took the rest of the group out.

As soon as the office door was closed, some of the senior executives quickly came to their senses.

"Mr. Carney, is that a woman in the office of our president?"

"Yep, and she even called him 'honey'! Who is she though?"

"Could it be Mr. Jones' girlfriend?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I have a gut feeling that it's his girlfriend."

Rohan was amazed at how they could go on discussing that. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Quickly, he chipped in, "Mr. Carney, Mr. Lance, that's his wife, Sharon."

"What?"

They were all shocked.

Meanwhile, inside the office, Sharon opened a cake box and urged, "Come, I bought you a cake."

Stanley glanced at the several empty boxes in the trash can and said with a faint smile, "Are you sure you bought it just for me, not because you can't finish it?"

"Smartass." Sharon looked embarrassed.

With a snort, he pulled her up from the chair and sat down, then let her sit on his thigh. "Why did you come all of a sudden?"

"I was bored."

"How so?"

"Well, after I met up with Ariah for my treatment, we only got to chat for a while, because she's quite busy. Then, there's no one at home, so I thought why not come and see you."

Sharon covered her mouth as she spoke. She had eaten too much dessert that it made her a little nauseous.

However, Stanley didn't notice her unusualness as he continued, "I'll call her and ask her to speed up your treatment a little then."

"Oh, forget it. We shouldn't receive any special treatments. Anyway, she'll speed it up when she's done with her work... Urg!"

Suddenly, she covered her mouth and rushed to the washroom in the office.

And she threw up into the toilet.

With a darkened look, Stanley crouched by her side and patted her back.

After a while, she finally stopped throwing up and cried in a regretful tone. "Jeez, I will never have so much dessert again. It makes me sick!"

Stanley then got her a moist towel and helped her to clean her mouth, despite furrowing his brows.

Sharon noticed that and tugged at his sleeves. "I'm disgusting, ain't I?"

"No, it's not that. I'm just upset."

"Ah, why are you upset?"

"Because I can't believe that you actually ate that much dessert!"

There were at least four or five empty boxes in the bin.

Awkwardly, she explained, "Sorry... it's just that I suddenly had an urge to have something sweet, so I bought a lot of cakes at the bakery..."

Stanley just pursed his lips and picked her up.

"Ah!"

Startled, Sharon quickly put her arms around his neck.

After putting her on the sofa, he got a blanket and poured a glass of warm water for her. "Here, take them."

Sharon hurriedly took them.

"Drink some warm water. It will make your stomach feel better."

"Alright."

"Is there anything else that you need?"

Sharon hurriedly shook her head. "Nope."

"Cool, then take a rest. I'll go back to work now."

Knowing that he was not happy now, Sharon answered in a behaving way, "Sure, go to work. You don't have to worry about me. I promise I'll stay here quietly."

Stanley then went to his desk. The small sofa was just behind him, and he could see her by just turning back.

Right now, she was lying on the sofa, bathing under the sun lazily like a cat.

Relieved, he then withdrew his gaze and went back to work upon closing the Netflix window.

Just then, a text message came into his phone.

It was from Ariah.

"Hey, I just wanna tell you that Sharon's cured. Sorry for the late announcement as I was quite busy with work just now."

Stanley went stiff upon reading that. Then, he made a call.

It didn't take long before Ariah picked it up. "Hey, you're pretty quick..." "What did you mean by that text message?"

"Well, she's cured..."

"Really?"

Ariah laughed. "Yeah, if you don't trust me, you could check it yourself."

Without saying anything further, he hung up the phone.

Ariah stomped her feet at that and muttered angrily, "What a jerk! How could you just hang up like that!"

On the other hand, Stanley got up from his chair and walked towards Sharon, who was still lying on the sofa.

Sharon looked up and saw his shocked yet complicated expression, to which she was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
