The next morning, Sharon got up quite late, but she was still sleepy. With her eyes closed, she reached out to touch the other side of the bed, but it was empty.
Hmm?
When she opened her eyes, as expected no one was there.
Was it because Stanley did not sleep all night? Or was it because he had already gotten up for work?
Sharon found an answer after she had cleaned herself, and went to the study. Sure enough, Stanley had already started work. He had a change of clothes and seemed to be in good spirits. Wearing a suit and tie, he appeared stern and serious.
Since she had disrupted him last night, and caused him to lose focus on his work, therefore, Sharon no longer dared to disturb him today. She quietly went downstairs.
Breakfast had already been prepared by Hazel. She had prepared a feast of nutritional dishes and placed them in front of Sharon. "Please have some, Mrs. Jones, having a balanced diet is very important.."
Sharon was starving, so she did not hold back. After saying thank you, she dug in.
Not long after, Stanley also came downstairs. Seeing how Sharon was gobbling down her food, he walked over and pinched her bulging cheeks. "Slow down, no one's taking your food away."
Hearing that, Sharon pointed at herself. "The baby... Is taking it from me!"
Stanley did not know what to say.
Now that she was pregnant, her appetite had grown so much. The unborn baby must be a foodie.
He looked at the woman whose table manners were not the most elegant, but somehow the way she enjoyed her meal improved his appetite.
It turned out that it could be so interesting to watch a person eat. The corner of his mouth was slightly lifted.
Sharon had her eyes set on a strawberry and was about to eat it when Stanley stepped forward and picked it up. He then threw it into his mouth. Stunned for a moment, Sharon was furious! How dare he snatch her food from her!
Did he think that she wouldn't snatch his food?
Marking her sharp eyes on Stanley's breakfast, Sharon quickly picked up his food. Unfortunately, Stanley's movement was faster than hers. With a simple block, he was able to stop her from snatching his food.
This action made Sharon enraged that she cried out loudly.
Seeing that, Stanley was delighted.
In the kitchen, Hazel looked over at the dining table and shook her head with a smile. They were just like children.
After breakfast, Stanley went to work. Sharon could understand that with such a big company, they needed him to be there to handle and manage a lot of stuff.
At noon, as soon as the meeting was over, Stanley came out with a report. Immediately, Secretary Yang went over and said, "Mr. Jones."
Stopping in his tracks, Stanley asked with his eyebrows tilted, "What's the matter?"
"Half an hour ago, Miss Lambert came and asked to see you. I did say that without an appointment she was unable to see you. But, she still insisted, so she's waiting in the reception room."
Just as Secretary Yang finished his words, he saw Stanley's face become sullen.
Seeing that, secretary Yang thought to himself, "I'm dead meat. I'm sure she's just another woman who was in love with Mr. Jones. It's making him unhappy."
Pulling his tie, Stanley handed over the report in his hand. "She's in the reception room?"
At once, the secretary took over the document and nodded. "Yes."
Then Stanley strode over and Secretary Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
Pushing open the door of the reception room, Stanley saw Rebecca sitting inside, accompanied by a six-year-old boy.
How dare she brought this child into the company to find him!
Stanley's face sank. He closed the door and walked over. "Rebecca."
Hearing his voice, Rebecca turned her head with a smile. "They said you were having a meeting and told me not to wait, but I insisted on staying. I hope I did not bother you."
Raising his wrist, Stanley looked at the time. Instead of answering, he asked, "It's noon. Have you guys eaten yet?"
