Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 129

The woman was taken aback when she heard this. She froze in silence, and her hands stopped moving.

"Didn't you hear me?"

"Yes... I heard you."

"Then tell me, what's your real name? I've forgotten it."

A bitter smile spread from the corner of her mouth as she replied, "Ayana. Ayana Warner." "Ayana Warner?" Shawn whispered her name and pulled her over. Ayana fell into his arms, his breath enveloping her.

He patted her cheek. "Just go by your real name from now on. Ayana is a very nice name; it's suitable for you."

In Jones Group.

Anthony pushed open the door of the office and came in. Looking up, Stanley arched his eyebrows when he saw Anthony come in alone.

"Madam asked you to eat alone. She went to the staff cafeteria with her colleagues for lunch, so she didn't come up."

Stanley frowned. "Is the food in the staff cafeteria better than what I have here?"

Anthony darted his eyes around awkwardly. "Maybe she wants to socialize with her colleagues and maintain a close relationship."

Stanley pushed the chair aside and got up. "Well, the boss should socialize with his employees too. Let's go."

Anthony was stunned and wondered what he wanted to do.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"The cafeteria."

"Huh?"

"To have lunch."

Anthony widened his eyes, dumbfounded.

He thought, "Boss, this would cause a sensation! As a boss who is worth more than 100 million who haven't met the entry-level employees for a long time, you will scare them when you suddenly want to socialize with them."

The appearance of Stanley caused a stir in the cafeteria as expected.

All the staff shrieked ecstatically and stomped their feet in excitement. Some bolder female employees even secretly stood behind Stanley and asked their colleagues to help them take photos. The small cafeteria suddenly turned into a fan meeting venue.

Some of them were so excited that they blushed, while others turned pale anxiously.

Sharon widened her eyes and mouth, incredulously looking at Stanley who suddenly appeared in the cafeteria.

Why did he come here?

When their eyes met, Sharon immediately buried her face in the plate and murmured, "You didn't see me..."

"Can I sit here please?"

A deep male voice resonated, with a hint of huskiness and sexiness, and a pretentious seriousness.

Stanley Jones!

Sharon gritted her teeth and thought, "This guy is deliberately looking fortrouble!"

She refused Anthony's request, so he deliberately came to the cafeteria to cause a scene. What on earth did he want to do?

"Of course! Come, join us please!"

All the people at the table were dumbfounded. Skye, the only calm person, stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Jones, feel free to join us. Please have a seat."

Stanley sat down slowly as everyone in the cafeteria watched enviously.

"I've been busy with my work and rarely have time to mingle with my employees. Today, thinking of the lunch break, I decided to come down and join you," he said with a smile.

This explained why he suddenly appeared here today.

Hypocrite!

Sharon cursed silently.

There was a flash of light coming from the side.

Stanley frowned and looked over.

Skye glared at Janice and said, "Janice, how can you secretly take Mr. Jones's pictures? Delete them!"

It was Janice who secretly took Stanley's pictures. She was so excited that she couldn't hold back the frenzy in her heart for a moment, so she directly took out her mobile phone and began to snap away wildly as if she saw an idol.

She didn't expect that she absent-mindedly forgot to turn off the flashlight and was even discovered.

Janice had no choice but to reluctantly delete the photos.

"It's fine, as long as you don't leak them out."

Stanley said after a pause.

Upon hearing this, Sharon despised him even more. At this moment, he acted so generously. As expected, he was a businessman who was good at winning people's hearts.

Janice began to blabber excitedly. "Okay, I understand. I will keep it well. I will keep it as a family heirloom. Thank you, Mr. Jones."

Everyone squinted at Janice, speechless.

Stanley turned his eyes and looked at Sharon, asking seriously, "Hi, do you have something against my approach? Why do you put on such a disdainful expression?"

His words made everyone's eyes fall on Sharon.

Sharon gritted her teeth and wanted to bite him to death, but she donned a smile and said, "You misunderstood me, Mr. Jones. I'm just too nervous. It's my first time to see you, so I'm a little

overwhelmed."

Seeing her timid and sheepish expression, an amused smile flashed across his eyes which disappeared in an instant. "It seems that I need to socialize with my employees more often so that you won't be nervous around me."

Janice blurted out, "Yeah, yeah, Mr. Jones, you should often join us at the cafeteria for lunch. When we get used to your presence, we won't be so awkward and surprised as if we see a unicorn..."

"Ahem!"

Skye kicked her.

Janice reacted and quickly changed her words, "What I mean is that my colleagues won't look at you like they see a popular celebrity."

"Okay." Stanley nodded and looked at Sharon again. "What do you think, miss?"

"What do I think your *ss!" Sharon cursed inside her.

He did it on purpose! He came to tease her on purpose to let everyone see that there was something fishy between them!

Sharon suppressed her annoyance and said, "I think you are a busy man and should not have time to come down for lunch so often. Moreover, you are not used to the food in this cafeteria, so you'd better not come down often."

She would have a heart attack if he did it frequently.

As soon as she finished speaking, Janice glared at her. "Sharon, how can you say that? It's rare for the president to socialize with us. How can you rebuke him?"

Another female employee echoed, "Yeah, yeah. Mr. Jones should come down more often."

Sharon glared at them speechless.

She thought, "Naive girls, don't be confused by his bewitching appearance. Your president is a wolf in sheep's clothing."

During the ten-minute lunchtime, Sharon was suffering a lot. She buried her face in the plate all the time, ignoring everything that happened around her and focusing on eating.

During this period, Stanley always had a way to divert the topic to her, so Sharon could only answer vaguely.

She was on pins and needles the entire duration, and thankfully, Stanley didn't disclose their relationship on the spot.

After finishing eating, Sharon wiped her mouth and slipped away. "Take your time. I've finished eating."

As soon as she finished her words, she got up and left.

Janice muttered, "Is Sharon shy? Why does she eat so little today? Usually, she will eat two servings, but she didn't even finish one serving today."

Stanley slowly put down the utensils in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully, and stood up. "I've finished eating too. Take your time."

"Okay, Mr. Jones. See you!"

Janice and others didn't expect that the president would be so polite that they awed in amazement as they watched his handsome figure leave with reluctance.

Skye, who had not spoken for a long time, said at this time, "Does the president know Sharon?"

Janice laughed out loud at Skye's remark. "Impossible! If Sharon knows the president, then I am his legendary wife."

In the past, there had been rumors about this matter, but since no media had managed to capture the image of Mrs. Jones, so the rumor gradually faded away.

Skye was amused. "Enough with your daydream."

After a pause, she added, "You're right. How could the president have anything to do with Sharon? Maybe I've thought too much."

"Yes, Skye! Don't get carried away!"

"You are right!"

As Sharon came out of the bathroom, she scolded the troublemaker Stanley while washing her hands.

Fortunately, he did not go too far, or Sharon would not know how to deal with him.

She turned around and went out. When she passed the corner, a figure suddenly came out. Sharon didn't manage to stop and bumped right into the man's arms, the clear and cold breath instantly surrounding her.

"You tried to draw a clear line with me just now, but now you threw yourself at me, huh?"

The man's playful tone echoed into her ear, with a hot breath. It huffed into her eardrum, making her shiver.

Sharon bit her lip and wanted to push him away, but he clutched her waist tightly with his steel-alike arms that she couldn't get rid of him.

"Stanley Jones!" Sharon looked around in panic. "Someone is coming. Let me go!"

Stanley's displeasure flashed in his eyes. "So what? Let them see!"

He didn't mind, but she did!

Sharon was so anxious and jittery at the moment. She was thinking about whether she should bite him or not. He read through her mind instantly. She felt a tight grip on her chin as he grasped it tightly, lifting her head, his head leaning toward her.

Her lips were sealed.

Sharon whined in protest but he refused to let her go.

The nervous Sharon always felt that she heard footsteps coming at them.

Agitated, she reached out and pinched his waist hard.

"Hiss..."

Stanley grimaced in pain and let go of her. His face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and looked at her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Sharon turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Before she could run away, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to his embrace, whispering, "There will be a banquet tonight. Go with me."

"Okay, okay!"

Sharon only wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she would agree to whatever he said.

"Be the last one to leave after work. I'll go to meet you."

"Got it, let go of me..."

Seeing that she was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, Stanley was unhappy but amused at the same time. It was the first time that he found himself unpresentable.

As soon as Stanley loosened his grip, Sharon ran away like a gust of wind, nearly knocking Anthony, who was guarding outside, over.

Anthony, who was standing at the door, asked suspiciously, "Boss, what's wrong with Madam?"

Stanley tidied up his sleeves and walked out slowly. "I'll take Sharon to the banquet tonight. Go and arrange the stylists. I'll take her there after work."

This was a gathering for influential figures in Beachmarsh City. Most of the people who attended it were the rich and powerful. Stanley was not very keen on joining this kind of banquet that he always refused the organizers' invitation, but why did he want to go all of a sudden?

He would take Sharon with him too.

Confused, Anthony uttered, "Boss, If you want to make your relationship with Madam public, you can do so by organizing a press conference. Many of the banquet's guests are up to no good. It's not very appropriate to take Madam to such an occasion."

Stanley glanced at him. "Those people don't dare to touch my woman even if they fancy her."

Anthony pursed his lips.

"Based on her temperament, she will definitely make a fuss if I make it public directly, so it's better to take her into my social circle and let people know her existence. It won't take long for everyone to know her identity."

Anthony was completely convinced.

In terms of scheming, no one was better than the sly and cunning Stanley.
