Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 192

At the Jones Group.

In the president's office on the 28th floor.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang when Anthony took a file from the office and was about to go out. He looked down and found it was Sharon.

Thinking that the owner of the phone was having a meeting in the conference room, Anthony pondered for a while and finally answered, "Hello."

Sharon was taken aback. "Why do you answer his phone?"

"Oh, Boss is in a meeting, and he didn't bring in his phone."

"I see."

"Yes."

Sharon pursed her lips. After a while, she asked, "How long will it take for him to finish the meeting?"

"About half an hour," Anthony said.

"Then I'll call him back in half an hour."

"Okay."

Sharon put away the phone, put the photo back in its original position, and go out.

Sharon's heart was beating like a drum after knowing that the woman was indeed Rebecca.

There were two voices in her mind that were tugging at her. One voice said that she should tell this to Stanley, and the other voice said that she should pretend that she knew nothing.

Sharon called just now just to see how Stanley's reaction was about Rebecca, but he was not there.

"Maybe it is destined that I shouldn't tell him about this," Sharon thought.

Meanwhile, Anthony took the documents to the conference room. The secretary drew out the key points for Stanley to check. Stanley looked at them a few times and gave orders on the progress and planning of the second quarter of the year. After finishing speaking, he listened to the plans of the managers of various departments.

In the end, it was almost the time when the secretary reminded him, and then Stanley nodded and said, "The meeting is adjourned. Dismiss."

A crowd of people went out. Anthony packed up the documents. Thinking of Sharon's phone call earlier, he quickly said, "Madam called just now."

Stanley got up slowly and then frowned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Anthony said, "Because you're in a meeting."

Stanley glanced at him.

As the chief assistant, Anthony was quick to respond as he immediately said, "If she calls or texts again in the future, I will inform you immediately."

Only then did Stanley let him off the hook and walked to the office.

The first thing he did when he returned to the office was to take his mobile phone. As soon as Anthony put the document down in front of him, Stanley called and said, "Sharon."

"Tsk, tsk. He is fast," Anthony thought, teasing his boss.

He was dawdling on the side, planning to listen to their conversation.

Sharon did not expect that he would call back so soon. "Are you done with your meeting?"

"Yes."

His deep voice penetrated through the phone, revealing a trace of exhaustion. Sharon felt a little pitiful at him. "Are you tired?"

Stanley reached out and massaged his eyebrows. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "What do you have for me if I'm tired?"

"Uh... what do you want?"

When Stanley was about to speak, he glanced at Anthony and said, "What are you? A statue? Get out."

Anthony's eyes darted around and mumbled, "Yes."

The door of the office was closed, and Stanley whispered a few words into the phone. Sharon was surprised, and then she blushed and gritted her teeth. "Shut it!"

Imagining Sharon's shy expression on the other end of the line, Stanley felt much more relaxed now. He leaned back in his chair and remembered Anthony's words. "Why did you call me just now?"

He asked, but Sharon did not know how to answer.

Did she really want to tell him about her encounter with Rebecca?

If she did, how would he react?

Would he immediately abandon her and go to Rebecca? She didn't want to see such a scene, nor did she want him to leave her!

She was not confident that she could defeat Rebecca...

"Huh?" Stanley raised his eyebrows after she was silent for a long time. "Why don't you speak?"

Sharon came to her senses. After looking down, she said, "Nothing. I just want to ask you, when will you be back?"

"That's it?"

"Yes."

Stanley raised his wrist and looked at the time. He smiled faintly and said, "Soon. Wait for me at home."

"Okay."

Stanley glanced at the documents on the table. "Watch TV or something. I'll go back after I'm done with my last work."

"Okay." Sharon replied in a soft voice.

After hanging up the phone, Sharon was in a daze with the mobile phone in her hand. What should she do? She was selfish, after all.

After burying her face in her knees, Sharon beat her head and felt a burst of depression in her chest. Now that Rebecca had returned, what would Stanley choose?

Would he divorce her?

Would he dump her?

Would he continue to be with Rebecca?

As soon as these thoughts flashed across her mind, Sharon felt very suffocated. She knew that she couldn't compare with Rebecca, so she was so timid that she didn't say anything.

She thought to herself, "I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can. One step at a time."

Even if Stanley chose Rebecca, she would... give them her blessing.

As Stanley finished off the last stroke of his signature, he closed the document, turned off the computer, and got up to leave. At this time, his cell phone rang again.

He thought it was Sharon, so he picked up his mobile phone and was a little disappointed when he saw the caller ID.

Soon after he calmed down, he answered the phone, "Rebecca..."

Rebecca's sobbing voice came through the phone, "S-Stanley..."

Stanley's expression changed. "What's wrong?"

Rebecca seemed to be in great distress. She couldn't talk clearly on the phone and her voice broke off intermittently, have been greatly stimulated. Through her voice, he could hear that she was not in a stable mood and her state was deranged. Stanley pushed the chair away and got up and went out.

He calmly asked her, "Where are you?"

After a long while, Rebecca said, "Home..." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

As he walked forward, he comforted her on the phone, "I'll be there soon. Don't go anywhere. Just stay at home. Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

He didn't know whether Rebecca heard him or not, but Stanley didn't hang up the phone and pushed the office door open.

Anthony, who was waiting outside, was startled when he saw Stanley's peculiar expression. He asked, "What's wrong, Boss?"

Stanley said in a deep voice, "Come with me to a place."

Anthony didn't think too much and hurried to follow him. "Yes!"

When Stanley opened the door of the apartment with the spare key, he was startled by the sticky smell in the air. He looked at the living room and saw the person curled up on the sofa.

Rebecca's petite and scrawny body was shaking like a leaf. Her clothes were disheveled and her black hair covered her face. He couldn't see her face clearly. There was a thin sob coming from her.

Stanley walked over step by step. He almost guessed something, but he didn't want to think that way.

"Rebecca?" Stanley called her name.

Rebecca heard his voice and trembled all over. Then she looked up. There was a moment of surprise in her eyes. Stanley saw her red and swollen eyes and bleeding mouth.

" Stanley..."

Rebecca blinked her eyes. When she saw it was him, she was stunned for a moment and then threw herself into his arms.
