Stanley's brows furrowed tightly, and his thin lips pursed into a line.
Jimmy asked the ultimatum question, "Did you... fall in love with her eventually?"
Glaring at him coldly, Stanley blurted, "If you keep on being nosy like this, I'll tell Ariah that you still have contact with that woman."
Jimmy's face turned pale with fear and he said, "Please spare my life. I will not blurt another word."
Stanley sneered and took a deep look at him. "You're playing with fire, flirting around two women. One day, you'll burn yourself."
Blood drained from Jimmy's face. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word in the end.
He knew that he shouldn't be associating himself with two women, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Stanley's phone.
It was useless for him to say more. As an adult man, Jimmy should know how to deal with his own relationship problems.
Stanley took out his phone, stood up, and walked to the corner. "Hello." "Young Master!" Hazel's voice came from the phone. "Young Master, it's almost eleven o'clock. Madam hasn't returned home yet..."
Stanley's eyebrows twitched. He stretched out his hand and rubbed them. "Why hasn't she come home at this hour?"
Sharon would always go home at 9 pm and never stay out late.
"I don't know. This has never happened before. I thought that since she had just started working, she went shopping with her colleagues in order to build a good relationship with them, but it's already eleven o'clock. It's getting very late and there is no bus coming back."
The more Hazel said, the more worried she became. "Did something happen to her?"
"Call her and ask what's going on."
"I've tried, but her phone was switched off."
It did sound like something was wrong. Stanley frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll look for her myself."
Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."
At 12 am sharp.
When Stanley returned to the villa, he strode into the house with his long legs casually. As soon as he opened the door, Hazel appeared and asked, "Young Master, how is it? Have you contacted Madam?"
Coming in with the chilly and gloomy night breeze, Stanley arched his eyebrows and asked, "She hasn't come back yet?"
He thought that she was just enjoying her moment and that she would naturally come home after realizing that it was getting late.
Hazel shook her head. "No."
If she didn't come back at such a late time, it seemed that she wouldn't come back.
Was she really staying out all night tonight?
Stanley's face suddenly fell. He lifted his leg and went downstairs, leaving a flat remark, "Okay, I know. You can go and have a rest."
Hazel could only nod. The young master was omnipotent and knew how to deal with it.
In the bedroom on the second floor.
Stanley's tall body sank into the sofa. Someone sent him home since he drank some wine in the club. Now that the alcohol started to kick in, he felt a sudden pain in his head.
He closed his eyes and rested. Under the soft light, his delicate facial features looked a little lonely and cold.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
He suddenly opened his eyes, picked up his mobile phone, found a number and dialed it.
"Contact Sharon's friend and ask her if Sharon is with her."
Suddenly woke up from his dream, Anthony was so shocked that he jumped up from the bed and asked, sounding a little uncertain, "B-Boss?"
Stanley grumbled impatiently, "I ask you to contact her friend."
Anthony immediately got into work mode and said, "I'll do it right now."
Stanley hung up.
Ten minutes later, Anthony called back and reported, "Boss, I contacted Miss Graham and she said that Madam is not with her, and asked me what happened to her."
