Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 573

Pausing for a moment, Ariah smiled. Feeling a little embarrassed, she replied, "It's not much of a big deal. It's better to keep a low profile."

It was only now that she understood the reason Jimmy did not want to make their relationship public.

So he was trying to protect her?

"Ariah, come this way. I'll take you to Captain's office."

"Thank you."

Before they arrived at Jimmy's office, Ben appeared. Immediately, David shouted at him, "Why didn't you answer your phone? What were you doing? Ariah is here! Where is Captain?"

Taken aback for a moment, Ben ran up to them. "Ariah, why are you here? This place is filled with filthy men. It's not suitable for you to come here."

Ever since Ariah step foot in the police station, a lot of people were staring at them.

Even a thick-skinned person like Ariah felt a little embarrassed with all the stares she was receiving from the policemen.

Ben and David quickly took Ariah to Jimmy's office. "David, you take care of Ariah. I'll pour her a glass of water."

"No, it's fine..."

Before Ariah could finish her sentence, Ben had already closed the door and left.

So, she was in Jimmy's office now.

Ariah checked out the room. It was simple, clean, and tidy, which was very consistent with Jimmy's personality.

Ariah waited for a long time, but Ben did not come back.

Why did it take so long for him to pour a glass of water?

After coming out of Jimmy's office, Ben went straight to Director Sherlock's office.

Seeing Ben all nervous, Director Sherlock frowned and snapped, "What's wrong?"

"Ariah is here."

"Who is Ariah?"

"Captain Hudson's wife."

After pondering for a moment, Director Sherlock said, "Is she here to look for Jimmy?"

"Yes."

"Do something and ask her to leave first." After thinking for a while, Director Sherlock added,

"Send more people to keep watch on her. Watch her closely until Jimmy calls back."

Ben stood up straight and said, "Yes!"

"You may leave now. We're done here."

Nodding, Ben turned around and was about to leave. However, right at that moment, the door of the office was pushed open. After getting a good look at the person coming in, Ben panicked.

Ariah was walking into the office with a suspicious look on her face, "Why do you need to keep watch on me? What's wrong with me?"

Director Sherlock frowned. The office area was open only to people who were working at the police station. Supposedly, Ariah was not allowed to enter.

Instantly, Ben said, "Ariah, let's talk outside..."

"Let's talk right here." Shaking off Ben's hand, Ariah gazed directly at Director Sherlock. "You're Jimmy's superior, right? I'll go straight to the point then. Where is Jimmy? I want to see him."

Director Sherlock waved his hand, and Ben immediately stepped aside. Pushing his chair back, Director Sherlock then stood up. "Jimmy is currently dealing with some work out of office, so he's not here. You won't find him here."

"What kind of work is he dealing with?" Ariah's expression changed. "Is it dangerous?"

That dream popped up in her mind...

"Tell me!" Seeing them keeping quiet, she grew anxious. "Where the hell did he go? Why can't I get through to him?"

He was still fine in the hospital during the day just now. He even said that he would head back to the hospital after going away for a while.

But now she could not even get in touch with him.

Ariah was very anxious. "Tell me the truth. Is he in danger now?"

"He's not in danger. Don't overthink it." Seeing Ariah growing concerned, Director Sherlock immediately comforted her.

However, Ariah did not believe his words at all. She shifted her gaze and looked at Ben, "You, tell me, where did Jimmy go? Tell me."

Of course, Ben did not dare to talk nonsense, as his superior was present. He could only shake his head repeatedly.

Taking a deep breath, Ariah grabbed a chair and sat down. "Alright, I'll wait here until you guys are ready to talk."

She looked like she would not be leaving until they spill the truth.
