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?
