The door opened and a man in black came out of it. He came to Sharon and said, "Miss Cruz."
Sharon looked up and frowned at him. "Who are you?"
The man pointed to the car next to him. "Miss Cruz, Miss Russell is waiting for you."
Miss Russell?
Jewel Russell?
At this moment, Sharon recognized that the man was Jewel's bodyguard whom she saw in the cafe the other day. "What's the matter?" she asked flatly.
The bodyguard pointed at the back door of the car and lowered his voice. "Miss Jewel Russell wants to see you. Please get in the car."
Sure enough, it was Jewel.
"Sorry, you go and tell her that I don't have the time," Sharon refused directly.
Jewel was Stanley's lover. Sharon was not in the mood to have a chat with her now.
"Miss Russell said that she came to you this time because she agrees to your request," the bodyguard responded at ease as if he knew that she would reject him.
Sharon tilted her head in confusion. "What request did I make to her?"
The bodyguard slowly said, "Ten million dollars."
Sharon was stunned, and the scene suddenly flashed across her memory. The first time she met Jewel, Jewel asked her to leave Stanley and even wanted to bribe her to leave Stanley. At that time, Sharon casually said that she would leave Stanley for ten million.
She nearly forgot about this matter, but she didn't expect that Jewel really wanted to give her ten million!
Ten million...
This was not a small number.
Jewel gave her the money that she couldn't possibly earn in her lifetime. Sure enough, Jewel was very generous.
Jewel sat in the car and waited impatiently. Because this was a public place, it was not convenient for her to get off the car, so she asked the bodyguards to go to Sharon.
It had been almost five minutes, but Sharon hadn't come to her yet.
"She's really good at putting on airs!" Jewel whined.
She was about to lose her patience. When she was about to call the bodyguards to get in the car, the car door was opened.
Jewel tilted her head and looked over. When she saw the person who came in and sat beside her, she sneered and ordered, "Drive."
The bodyguard who got on the car answered, "Yes."
As soon as Sharon sat down, the car suddenly left like an arrow shooting off a bow that sent her flying into the seat. She quickly put on the seat belt and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Melody happened to come over and saw Sharon get into a black BMW.
She was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't she ask me out?"
"Why did she get into someone else's car?"
"Does something happen?"
Without much thought, Melody immediately stopped a taxi and said to the driver, "Sir, please follow the car in front."
Then she took out her mobile phone and called Sharon. As soon as the phone was connected, Melody asked anxiously, "Sharon, where are you?"
Sharon did not overthink it nor she knew her good friend was following her, so she simply said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Melody. I can't have dinner with you tonight. I suddenly received a phone call from my manager, and he asked me to go back to work, so... let's make another arrangement for tomorrow."
