Sharon felt a little dizzy, and her body uncontrollably staggered. Seeing her condition, Howard immediately asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Before he could finish his words, Sharon had already fallen backward. Immediately, Howard reacted quickly, holding her in his arms.
After a while, only did she regain her strength and stood up. Getting out of his arms, she rubbed her temples and answered, "I'm fine. It's probably because I've been standing under the sun for too long, and I haven't had lunch yet, so I felt weak."
Upon hearing that, Howard frowned. "Are you really sure you're okay?"
"Yes." Nodding her head, Sharon looked around. However, she still couldn't find the person that she wanted to see. With that, she lowered her gaze in disappointment, smiling bitterly.
It was hard for her to be treated coldly by Stanley...
"Alright, don't wait for him anymore. Since it's already one o'clock, I guess he won't be here." After he finished his words, Howard brought Sharon to a shady spot. He then complained, "You better take care of yourself, otherwise, Ember will scold me later."
Hearing that, she said nothing, showing no emotion.
Meanwhile, Howard looked at the sky. "I think waiting for him every day is not going to work. We have to take the initiative. Do you know where Stanley stays?"
Sharon shook her head.
"What about his work place?"
Still, Sharon shook her head.
With that, Howard was clueless on what they should do next.
So, he thought it was time for him to do something. Since he already knew that Stanley was staying in Allgate City, he could hire someone to investigate his whereabouts...
Meanwhile, Ayana came to the Warner Group and asked one of the secretaries, "Is Mr. Warner here?"
In fact, Ayana was once the unfavored daughter in the Warner Family. But ever since she brought Stanley back to her family four years ago, all the employees began to respect her. After all, Stanley had helped the Warner Group from getting bankrupt.
Hence, the secretary replied to Ayana respectfully, "He is in the office."
Hearing the reply, Ayana nodded. "What was his schedule today? Where did he go today?"
After thinking for a moment, the secretary said, "He had a meeting this morning. Then, he went out for a while at noon for lunch. Right now, he needs to deal with some documents for two hours. After that, he would have dinner at night."
When Ayana entered Stanley's office, she saw him focusing on his work. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing his strong forearm. The sunset glow fell on his shoulder as if it had cast a layer of light on him.
Ayana stared at him in a daze, thinking that he was such an outstanding man. She was blessed with his charm every day during their four years of living together.
Any woman, after living with such a man, would definitely fall in love with him deeply.
As she was lost in her thoughts, Stanley, who initially buried himself in the work, looked up and interrupted her thoughts. "Why didn't you tell me you're coming?"
Hearing his question, Ayana came to her senses and smiled. Then, she walked over to him and said, "I just want to come here without any reason."
"When did you discharge?"
"This morning." Ayana pursed her lips and looked at him. "Last night, I told you that I want to leave the hospital this morning, and I asked you to pick me up."
Upon hearing that, Stanley was taken aback. "Did I say that?"
As soon as he asked, Ayana felt awkward.
"I'm sorry, but I've probably forgotten about it because I was too busy." Stanley pressed on his eyebrows, putting down the pen in his hand.
