Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 79

Jimmy took a sip of wine and quickly waved his hand. "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it."

Sharon insisted. "Well, it is a big deal for me. Without you, Mr. Hudson, Melody and I may still be locked up."

She was indeed a stubborn girl of principles.

Jimmy smiled and said, "It's OK if you want to return the favor, but you don't have to return the money. You can treat me to a meal."

"That's not good." Sharon frowned. How much was a meal worth anyway?

"That's the deal. Let's take a rain check on the meal."

Jimmy stated the deal right there and then which made Sharon chuckle helplessly.

As the two of them talked and laughed, the expression of Stanley, who was being ignored, turned gloomier as he glared at them as if he would eat them up with his eyes.

Jackson was amused as he looked at Stanley's reaction. Was this what he meant by he didn't like her? If he didn't like her, how would he react like this?

He might already like her but he didn't know it at all.

"Ahem." Jackson cleared his throat and interrupted Sharon and Jimmy on the opposite sofa. If he didn't say anything now, he was afraid that Stanley would turn this place upside down. "Jimmy, make an introduction."

Jimmy slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. Miss Cruz, this is Jackson King. He is the oldest among us."

It seemed that these men, including Stanley, respected Jackson very much.

Sharon immediately sat up straight to show her respect, looked over, and said, "H-Hello, Jackson."

Her back was facing him when she was talking to Jimmy, but now she looked at him with her face exposed under the light.

Jackson was stunned when he saw her face clearly.

Sharon had a delicate and beautiful face with a hint of youthfulness due to her tender age.

She had quite a prominent facial feature which would bear a different kind of charm when she grew older.

The reason why Jackson was slightly taken aback when he looked at this youthful face was that he had seen Sharon before, but he couldn't remember when and where at the moment.

He had a very good memory and should not be wrong.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

He suppressed his surprise and nodded to her with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

Sharon looked at Jackson opposite her and obviously saw the trace of surprise in his eyes when he looked at her.

Why did he look at her like that?

Although she was suspicious, she didn't say anything. She simply smiled politely and said, "Nice to meet you too, Jackson."

The more Jackson looked at her, the more familiar he found her, but he couldn't believe it, thinking it was a coincidence.

He put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

Jimmy was the only one Sharon was familiar with in the whole room, so she talked to him from time to time.

During this period, Stanley, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, fixed his fiery eyes on Sharon. His eyes were so blazing that it was hard to be ignored.

At first, Sharon directly ignored him, but then she was annoyed by his stare that she looked up at him and glared back at him.

What were he looking at? Humph!

Stanley clenched his fists. How dare she glared back at him?

He squinted, his gaze turning fierce, and thought, "D*mn girl. I'll teach you a lesson when we go back."

Sharon was not afraid of him. With so many people here, he dared not do anything to her.

So, she rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Stanley's face twisted in a disdainful grimace that veins popped up on his forehead.

Jackson looked at the couple who was in some kind of intense battle silently. He found them amusing and frowned again.

If Sharon really knew that man, then things would be too complicated.

He sighed, collected his thoughts, and lowered his head to start drinking.
