Sharon nervously stood by the desk and wondered if Stanley would like her gift.
After a pause, she slowly opened her palms and uttered anxiously after licking her lips, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
His thick black eyelashes slowly lifted, opening his eyes. When he finally saw what was in her hand, he glared in disbelief and subconsciously raised his hand and slap the thing away. "Take it away from me!"
With a slap, the frog flew out of her palms.
Sharon was stunned and stood in a daze, contemplating what was happening.
Why did he do this?
He liked frogs, didn't he? Why did he look so scared now?
Did he really have to slap it away so rudely even if he didn't like it?
Standing in the corner, he uttered with a cold and deep voice with a dash of disgust, "Sharon Cruz, I give you a second to get rid of that dirty thing!"
Sharon was so angry that she huffed, "Why is it dirty? Look how cute it is!"
Stanley clenched his fists and shouted furiously, "I asked you to throw it out. Did you hear me?"
Sharon glared at the spiteful man. She intended to turn around and leave, but as soon as she turned, an idea flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she walked slowly toward him and pointed at his face with suspicion. "Why are you so pale? Why are your lips so pale? Your hands are shaking... Stanley, are you afraid..."
"I'm not afraid! Why should I be afraid?"
Stanley strongly denied her before she could finish her sentence.
Sharon couldn't help laughing. "Are you really afraid of a frog?"
Wow, he was scared of frogs!
That was so adorable!
"But Hazel said that you like frogs. How can you be afraid of it?"
Stanley grimaced in disdain. "Idiot, can't you see that she was bluffing?"
"All right, don't be afraid," Sharon comforted him while laughing in amusement. "It's just a frog. It won't bite you."
"How dare you laugh at me?"
Sharon was not afraid of him at all now.
He who was afraid of frogs was not intimidating at all.
Sharon bent down to pick up the frog who was squatting on the ground. "Look at it. Its body is sticky and cold. It is very cute."
"It's disgusting! Don't you come here!"
Stanley glared at her fiercely.
Sharon muffled her laughter and said, "Okay, alright, I won't go there."
"Throw it away!" He shouted.
"Hmm, where are we going to throw it?"
Would it fall to death if she dropped it from the second floor?
Sharon didn't want to throw it away. Stanley who looked extremely unhappy gnashed his teeth and demanded, "Throw it away right now!"
"It's not good to throw it down. We need to learn to love small animals. I'll go downstairs to release it."
He breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind the desk, his handsome face filled with contempt.
Sharon curled her lips and was about to go out when the stoic frog suddenly jumped out of her hand.
"Croak, croak...'
It even let out two loud cries as it jumped away.
Sharon was stunned. "Alas..."
She didn't manage to catch it.
The frog jumped directly toward Stanley's direction.
Before Sharon could react, there was a flash of black shadow appeared in front of her. Stanley was already hiding behind her and grabbing her clothes tightly.
Sharon looked at the sky, speechless.
"Mr. Jones, where is your cool and arrogant self?" she thought.
Gritting his teeth and glaring at the green and sticky frog that brought goosebumps to his arms, he blurted, one word at a time, "Go to the desk!"
Sharon asked, "Why?"
"There's a gun in the drawer. Take it out and shoot the d*mn frog!"
