Did she like Mr. Perkins?
Of course, she liked him.
Mr. Perkins was the best employer she had ever met. Because she came from an underprivileged background, she had worked at different houses before.
And she never met an employer like him, especially her last employer, who was totally different from Mr. Perkins.
Thinking about that, Elaine nodded and replied, "Yeah, I like him. He's a good man."
A... good man?
Looking at Elaine who was wearing a serious look, Ariah was choked speechless.
At the same time, Sharon blurted out, "I think Howard also likes you. Why don't you two try dating?"
With confusion, Elaine blinked her eyes and said, "Sharon, I... I have a fiance already."
Besides, she was just admiring Mr. Perkins. It wasn't the kind between lovers. Why would Sharon and Ariah think that way of her and Mr. Perkins?
Meanwhile, Sharon and Ariah exchanged a glance in embarrassment. It seemed like they had misunderstood the two.
Quickly, Ariah cleared her throat. 'Anyway, the banquet is about to start now. Let's take the baby down to meet the guests."
"Sure." Sharon also stood up.
It was just too embarrassing. They didn't expect that Elaine had a fiance already.
Since both Stanley and Sharon had little relatives, the guests attending the banquet were mostly Stanley's business partners.
Jackson King had also attended the baby shower. Due to his stern look, most people did not dare to approach him.
Looking around, Sharon noticed that only Jackson was here alone.
He was standing in the corner, looking rather stocky.
Sharon carried the baby over to greet him. Seeing the newborn, Jackson praised, "He resembles Stanley a lot."
Then, she handed the baby over. "Brother King, would you like to hug him?"
Jackson had never carried a baby before. Worried that he might hurt the baby, he smiled and waved his hand. "Nah, I'm not good at carrying babies. I'm afraid I might hurt your son."
Saying that, he then asked his adjutant to bring the gift to him.
"Chief, here." The adjutant handed over a box.
When the box was opened, Sharon saw a gold infant bracelet lying in it.
It was a one-in-a-million kind.
"Take this. It's my present for the newborn."
Instead of refusing his kindness, Sharon took the gift from the box and said, "Thank you, Jackson."
Hearing that, Jackson smiled and stroked the baby's forehead. Suddenly, he seemed to see someone and said to Sharon, "I see an acquaintance. I'll talk to you later."
Sharon nodded. "Sure, go ahead."
After Jackson had left, Howard came over. Seeing that she was looking at Jackson's back, he waved his hand in front of her. "Hey!"
