Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 574

Not only Ariah, even Director Sherlock was surprised. How did Jimmy notice?

He was incredible!

"Ahem..." Clearing his throat, Director Sherlock said with a smile on his face. "How did you notice?"

However, Jimmy's face turned dark. "So, she's really there?"

"Yes."

"Didn't I tell you that we can't let her find out about this? Why can't you hide such trifles from her?"

Hearing that, Director Sherlock was so irritated that his eyes widened. "Watch your words. I am your superior."

Jimmy sneered, "Are you trying to pressure me with your position?" Then, he changed the topic. "Where is she? Ask her to answer the phone."

Director Sherlock smiled helplessly. Although Director Sherlock sounded like he was scolding Jimmy, he did not seem angry at all. Both of them were very close, and he took Jimmy as his junior as well.

Ariah could hear the anger in Jimmy's tone from the other end of the phone.

Moments ago, she was worried sick about him, but now, she felt a little timid.

He must be worried about her, and that was why he asked his colleagues not to tell her anything.

Now that things went the other way around, was he infuriated about it?

For one second, Ariah did not know whether she should answer the call.

After replying to Jimmy with a hum, Director Sherlock then looked at Ariah with a questioning gaze, as though asking, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ariah laughed dryly.

Jimmy waited for a long time, but no one answered. Enraged, he shouted, "Where is she? Ariah Myers!"

Director Sherlock passed the phone to Ariah, but she quickly waved her hand and mouthed, 'Please help me tell him to take care of himself.'

"Are you two messing with me?"

Eyes widening, Director Sherlock shoved the phone to Ariah. "Answer it yourself. I'll go outside to have a cigarette."

Then, he walked out of the office.

Holding onto the phone, Ariah looked as though she was dealing with some challenging issue. Director Sherlock was quite daring as well. A big shot like him must have had a lot of confidential information stored in his personal phone, yet he did not worry the slightest bit when he handed Ariah the phone.

He must have done that because he believed in Jimmy. He trusted Jimmy's character, so he believed that Jimmy would not marry the wrong person.

"Hello..."

Ariah answered the phone weakly.

Hearing her voice, Jimmy sneered, "You're pretty good. How did you manage to persuade Director Sherlock to call me?"

Ariah pouted. "You didn't answer my calls!"

Now that she mentioned this, Jimmy didn't know what to say for himself.

He refused to answer her phone because he did not want her to worry. If he had known that she would get so worried, he would have sent her a text message so that she could feel more at ease.

"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next, got it?"

"What are you going to say?" "I most probably won't be going back tonight, so I'll ask Ben and David to send you home later. They will stay with you tonight. Remember to behave and don't cause me trouble."

Unhappy, Ariah asked, "When did I ever misbehave?"

Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy elaborated, "If you're behaving yourself, you wouldn't have gone to my workplace and made Director Sherlock call to check up on me."

Ariah kept quiet.

Seeing her remain silent, Jimmy could imagine her expression right now.

The expression she made whenever she was angry yet speechless. He loved that look.

Voice softening, he said, "Don't worry about me. I'm getting old now, so I won't risk my life like how I used to. Now that I have someone that I truly care about, I value my life a lot."

Upon hearing that, Ariah felt her heart begin to pound wildly.

Someone that he truly cared about...

Who was that someone?
