Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 47

Sharon was really afraid of Stanley. He looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, it almost resembled a black hole that could suck her in. His gaze was so forthright and suggestive that she felt naked under his glance and brought goosebumps to her.

Licking the corner of her mouth, she stuttered in fear, "W-What's wrong? I really don't know. C-Can you be more specific?"

"No!"

As soon as the man finished his word, he lowered his head and kissed her passionately. He was so quick and fearsome that Sharon opened her eyes wide and her mind went blank in horror.

How could he tell her if even he himself did not understand what was going on in his heart?

The kiss was as violent as the heavy storm rummaging the room, and Sharon was dizzy by his passionate kiss.

After a long while, she slowly came to her senses and reached out her hand symbolically to push him.

She felt pain from her lips. He bit her lightly and said in an unstable voice, "Don't move!"

Sharon was so scared that she burst into tears. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't listen to Hazel, and I won't believe her bluff again next time. Don't be angry. I don't know if you're afraid of frogs."

Stanley bit her ear heavily and said, "Fool!"

"Boo hoo!"

The next day.

During the company's lunch break.

Sharon complained in frustration, "What a beast!"

Suddenly, her phone rang. She yawned and took it out to have a look. It was Liam calling.

After Sharon knew his true identity, she had been hesitating whether to have further contact with him or not.

After all, he was the president of a big company. It was not good to be too close to him.

In the end, she hid in the pantry and secretly picked up his call. "Hello, Mr. Frazier."

Mr. Frazier?

Liam raised his eyebrows. "What's with the formality?"

"Well, I'm just being courteous." Sharon went straight to the point. "What can I do for you, Mr. Frazier?"

"I would like to ask you out for dinner. Are you free? I'll pick you up tonight."

Sharon got goosebumps as she heard the invitation, feeling a little nervous and awkward. "Uh, it's not appropriate. We're not that close..."

She was still wary of him.

Realizing this, Liam frowned and his eyes became a little cold. After several attempts to approach her, she would take a step back everytime he took a step forward, increasing the gap between them.

He didn't know whether he should say that she was brilliant or she was playing dumb!

"I'll pick you up tonight. What time do you get off work?"

He said directly, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Sharon's scalp tingled. "I- I had an appointment with someone in the evening." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She had no choice but to lie.

"Cancel it."

Sharon rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, her phone beeped that made her grin, overjoyed. "Uh, Mr. Frazier, I've got another incoming call. I can't talk right now. Bye."

Then she hung up.

Liam stared at the phone after he was being cut off and sneered, a flashing light flashed across his bewitching eyes.

In fact, Sharon really had an incoming call; she didn't mean to end his call on purpose.

"Hello, who's this?"

"Hello, Miss Cruz, I'm Dr. Wallace."

Sharon stopped abruptly as she walked outside, her heart tightened.

Dr. Wallace was the attending doctor of her father. He wouldn't call her normally but why did he call her now? Did something happen to her father?

Thinking of this, Sharon hurriedly asked, "Dr. Wallace, did something happen to my father?"

Dr. Wallace paused and said, "Yes, it's about your father. Miss Cruz, come to the hospital now."

She guessed it correctly.

There was a loud bang in Sharon's head, and she felt dizzy and confused.

She tried to control her emotions and calmed herself down. "Dr. Wallace, what's wrong with my father? W-What happened to him?"

Dr. Wallace simply said without revealing too much information, "Please come as soon as possible. We'll talk about it in detail when we meet."

Sharon hung up the phone and immediately ran out.

She bumped into someone when she was on her way out of the company. She simply blurted "I'm sorry", pushed the person away, and ran out.

Troy was stunned when he saw Sharon running out with bloodshot eyes. He grabbed a person and asked, "Skye, what's wrong with Sharon?"

Skye shook her head in confusion. "I don't know. She was fine just now."

On her way to the hospital, Sharon was on pins and needles. She had been comforting herself that nothing bad happened but her heart could not help sinking.

When her father involved in the car accident, he was resuscitated in the operating room for a day, but he never woke up after being pushed out of the operating room, and the doctors finally declared that he was a vegetable.

The hefty amount of medical expenses forced Sharon to borrow money from all her relatives, and it was from that time on that the relatives in her family cut ties with her.

Sharon didn't hate them as they had their difficulties and she could understand them.

At that time, she needed a lot of money on a daily basis for her father's hospitalization and treatment. No matter how close the relatives were, they couldn't afford to support her longterm financial needs.

She didn't have a penny to pay the hospital. She had no choice but to look for her mother who had abandoned her as a last resort, Evonne Murray.

The scene of the past was still vivid in her memory.

At that time, she knelt in front of Evonne and begged her for some money to save her father. As a result, Evonne asked the maid to kick her out.

It was also from that time on that Sharon hated Evonne who gave birth to her so much!

She had never thought that a person could be so cruel and cold-blooded.

It was also when she was in her most desperate moment that her hope came to her again.

"Be snatched from the jaws of death" was the most suitable saying to describe her situation by then.

When she was about to sell her blood for money, she met Stanley.

He appeared in front of her like a savior, pulled her up from the hopeless pit, and quickly solved all her problems.

Her father received the best care and treatment from the best doctor.

He said he wanted to marry her, and she agreed without hesitation.

She was willing to do anything to repay his favor, so marrying him and getting the title of Mrs. Jones didn't sound so bad to her.

But now...

Sharon was in a daze with her mobile phone in her hand. Should she call Stanley and tell him that something happened to her father? Could she ask him to go to the hospital with her?

If he was there, the doctor would certainly do his best to save her father.

But she hesitated.

"He won't go, will he? He's so busy that he won't be able to find time to do this."

Moreover, she was in no place to ask him to go. He would not leave his work for such a trivial thing and go to the hospital.

Most importantly, she was afraid that if she called him, he would refuse indifferently, and then she would be disappointed.

"I won't be able to stand this kind of indifference with my d*mn self-esteem."

Thinking of this, Sharon put her mobile phone into her pocket.
