Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 762

Covering his bleeding nose, Ruben Lawson stood up and glared at the ignorant Vincent. "Why are you still standing there? Go and get me a kleenex!"

Vincent snorted coldly, "What did you just say?"

Under his gloomy gaze, Ruben shivered in fright and smiled apologetically. "Nothing. I'll look for the kleenex myself."

With that, he sneaked into the living room and muttered under his breath while looking for a kleenex, "I immediately got injured the minute I see him. He is indeed..."

As if something crossed his mind, he didn't blurt the word "cursed".

"Ahem." After plugging his nose with a kleenex, Ruben looked around. "This apartment is pretty good and clean. Where's the little maid? Why don't I see her?"

Vincent looked at him coldly. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." Sitting down and putting his legs up leisurely on the table, Ruben sized him up. "I came to see how long you intend to play this role-playing game."

Vincent ignored him.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Ruben asked curiously. "By the way, Howard is so stupid. You've been here twice. How can he not notice anything?"

Ruben thought that Vincent was excellent in disguising himself since he could come and go freely to another person's house without being noticed.

Raising his eyes slightly, Vincent explained, "I won't confront him head-on, so he won't find out."

"But why did the maid never notice anything off about you? Yes, both of you do look alike, but your temperament is completely different. Dr. Perkins is righteous and noble but your gloomy characteristic is horrifying."

They were two people with completely different personalities.

It might be difficult to distinguish their appearance but it was hard to disguise one's personality.

No matter how similar their appearance was, personality was not something one could forge.

As if thinking of something, Vincent curled his lips into a sinister smirk. "The little maid may look foolish, but she's also quite brainy. I think she can tell the difference between me and Howard." "Did she know that you're not Howard?" Ruben asked curiously.

His question, however, invited a glare from Vincent.

"Judging from that response, I think she doesn't know yet." On the other hand, Ruben was thinking, "He is so cunning and crafty."

"By the way, it's getting late. Are you planning to stay here?" After thinking for a while, Ruben added, "Be careful in case Howard comes out all of a sudden."

"You go first," said Vincent in a low voice.

"Okay." Ruben was still somewhat ill at ease. "Don't dawdle though. Come out quickly."

After that, he got up and was about to leave when suddenly, the door of the bedroom opened, and a figure came out followed by a curious voice, "Dr. Perkins, who are you talking to... Oh, do we have a guest tonight?"

Elaine looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared.

Ruben looked back at her.

The two of them exchanged glances in silence.

Finally, Elaine broke the silence by saying, "Hello, you must be Dr. Perkins' colleagues, right? Please sit down. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Ruben didn't know whether to leave or not, so in the end, he sat down. Vincent cast his cold glance at him to which he whispered, "What's with the stare? Look at her. I can't possibly turn down her invitation, right?! Relax, I'll leave after the coffee!"

When Elaine was in the bedroom, she heard the voice in the living room which she assumed was from the TV, but the more she listened, the less it sounded like it came from the TV. Hence, she came out to have a look only to bump into a guest at home.

Previously, Howard had invited some colleagues to his house, so she knew some of them.

But she didn't know this person.

"Maybe he's Dr. Perkins's friend?" she thought.

When she brought the coffee out, she saw that the guest was talking to Dr. Perkins, but they were whispering to each other that she couldn't hear them clearly.

"Here's your coffee." She walked over and put the coffee on the table.

Ruben immediately sat up straight and thanked her.

"You're welcome." With a smile, she said, "Please take your time. I'll..."
