Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 56

When Sharon returned to the company, she was called by the manager to the office, reprimanding her for leaving her position without permission when she was still in the internship period and didn't ask for leave in advance. He chided her for treating the company as the shopping mall where she came and went as she pleased.

Sharon did not argue and accepted it humbly.

Seeing her humble and sensible attitude, the manager asked her to go out and work hard after reprimanding her.

Skye was very worried about her. "I was so shocked when I saw you run out with red eyes yesterday. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but something happened to my family. I was so anxious at that time that I forgot to ask for leave."

"Family is the most important thing in the world. The manager is soft-hearted despite his sharp tongue. This matter will be over after he criticized you for the sake of formality."

"Okay."

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

Anthony reported the schedule for the next few days. "There will be a meeting this afternoon, and dinner at 7 pm. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Grasmere to meet the head of the branch office, and it will take us two hours to get there."

"You go and arrange a meeting. Who am I having dinner with tonight?"

"The deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."

"Cancel the dinner. I'm not in the mood."

Stanley sat on the office chair with no expression on his face.

Anthony thought to himself, "It seems that boss is still angry with Madam. She pissed him off yesterday in the hospital and they didn't talk at all on their way home."

"Yes."

Anthony nodded and canceled off several unimportant arrangements from the schedule.

Anthony turned around and was about to go out when he thought of something, and said, "Boss, Madam was scolded by the manager of her department in the morning."

He assumed that Stanley would feel a little distressed when he heard this, but he didn't expect to see Stanley simply saying flatly without even lifting his gaze, "Manager Lance did a great job in managing his employees, well done."

Anthony stared at Stanley, speechless.

"Hmph, you say that because you are in a fit of anger," he thought.

After taking the folder, Anthony curled his lips and was about to go out when Stanley uttered, "Wait."

Anthony turned back and said, "Boss, is there anything else you want me to do?"

"We'll leave for Grasmere after the afternoon meeting. There's no need to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Huh?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Didn't you hear what I say?"

"Yes, I heard it."

Anthony thought, "D*mn, Boss can be so childish when he gets angry. He even runs away from home."

Before getting off work, Sharon received a phone call from Hazel at home. "Madam, I didn't prepare dinner for you tonight. You can have dinner with Young Master outside." "What's wrong, Hazel? Are you not at home?" Hazel sighed. "A relative's child was sick and had to be hospitalized. His family can't take leave so I'll take care of him for two days." "Okay. Take care of yourself too, Hazel." "I will, Madam. Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Sharon thought about whether she should inform Stanley, but after holding her phone for a long time, she finally put down her mobile phone without making the call.

"Nah, I'm not going to call him," Sharon muttered.

After leaving the hospital yesterday and returning home, he ignored her for the whole night.

Eventually, he had spent the night in his study.

He didn't even look at her when she got up early this morning...

As soon as Sharon thought of it, she felt very aggrieved. She did not do anything wrong and simply told the truth but he was so petty that he ignored her. Humph!

When she got off work and went out of the company, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.

She took it out and looked at it. It was a call from Liam.

Sharon was very grateful to him for keeping her company at the hospital the other day in her most desperate moment.

"Hello, Mr. Frazier."

She answered the phone.

Liam asked in a clear voice, "Are you off work?"

"Yes."

"Nice. I'll wait for you at Bridgeway Lane. Come and find me. I'll treat you to dinner."

"Alas..."

With a beeping sound, the phone had been hung up before she could say anything.

Sharon was speechless. Liam really did not give her a chance to refuse him.

On second thought, he helped her several times, and she really wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him.

After pondering for a moment, Sharon decided to go to the appointment.

Thirty minutes later, on Bridgeway Lane, Sharon took out her mobile phone and called Liam. "Hello, Mr. Frazier, where are you?" "Turn around."

Turned around?

Was he behind her?

Sharon immediately turned around and was blinded by a large bouquet of red roses in an instant. She pointed at the man holding the flowers, and her eyeballs almost fell out of her eye sockets. "Mr. Frazier, this is..."

Liam raised the bouquet in his hand and said, "A beautiful bouquet for a beautiful girl. What's wrong?"

Sharon managed an awkward laugh. "We're just having dinner, and I'm a little embarrassed to accept this."

"Then I'll help you to hold it first. You can bring it home after dinner."

With this, he pointed to the car next to him. "Let's go. I've already booked a restaurant."

It was hard to refuse his kindness, so Sharon got in his car. Now it was the rush hour after work, so there were many pedestrians on the road. Under their envious glances, Liam closed the Bentley door and drove away.

At the same time, on the highway to Grasmere, Anthony was behind the wheels while Stanley was sitting in the back seat. There was a laptop on his knee, and he was handling the official business with his head hung low.

Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Boss, do you want to call Madam?"

Stanley raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"You're going on a business trip in Grasmere for a few days. I think it's better to let her know."

In addition to meeting with the head of the branch office, there were also a few contract negotiations that Stanley planned to discuss in person, so they would have to stay in Grasmere for a longer period of time.

Stanley raised his eyelids and said in a calm voice, "Do I need to remind you who pays your salary and who you should listen to?"

Anthony immediately understood. "No, Boss. I'll listen to you!"

He was cursing in his heart, "Boss, keep on your arrogant act. One day, you will regret it."

However, Stanley was not in the mood to work. With a bang, he closed the laptop and reached out his hand to massage his forehead.

At the thought of what the woman said in the hospital last night, Stanley was furious. How dare she said that he loved Jewel? How could she be so blind?

He didn't want to see her these days, so he used the excuse of a business trip to keep a distance from her.

In the French restaurant.

Sharon looked around curiously. The ambiance was excellent, and the decoration was low-key yet luxurious. Even the waiters here were all French.

The exquisite dishes were served on the table one by one, and each and every dish was decorated exclusively. The handsome waiter uttered "please help yourself" in French after serving the dishes, to which Sharon immediately thanked him and looked a little awkward. It was her first time coming to such a posh restaurant, and she was not used to it.

Liam, who was sitting opposite her, stared at her intensely, with a smile on his face and a well- thought-out mind.

No woman could resist such temptation: Flowers, luxury cars, supreme service. Every bit of vanity was infinitely satisfied under these circumstances, in particular, a young and naive girl like Sharon who had not experienced such a thing in her life.

Eventually, she would fall into his trap that he set up on purpose after several attempts.

He was confident that he could make her fall in love with him in a short period of time, and she would be inseparable from him in the end.

Liam got up gracefully and personally poured her red wine. "This is Lafite of 1982 that was transported here in less than 24 hours. Try it."

"llh, I don't know how to drink."

Last time, she drank too much beer in the bar and was taken advantage of. From then on, Sharon swore that she would never drink again.

Liam smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?"

These words were so straightforward that Sharon blushed awkwardly. She took a sip of red wine out of courtesy but she couldn't taste the difference since she didn't know much about wine. She would prefer juice at any moment.
