Chapter 285
The next day, Sharon was woken up by the doorbell. Still half asleep, she went to open the door. Narrowing her eyes, she saw that everyone from her team had arrived. Seeing Sharon's half-awake state, her assistant Mark asked, "Sharon, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Upon hearing that, Sharon gave a perfunctory response before washing up, "I've overslept."
When she came out of the bathroom, everyone was shocked as they all pointed at her and shouted, "What's wrong with you today?"
Sharon rolled her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Wow, you have makeup on! I've worked with you for three years, but I have never seen you with makeup. Tell me, is there something wrong?" At that moment, even the quiet cameraman was shocked.
"I put makeup on to look good on camera. Besides, I've only applied lipstick." Sharon explained in embarrassment when she saw her team looking at her in shock. "Alright, let's get to work!"
In fact, she came to Allgate City for something very important.
On the way to the hospital, Mark had already contacted the head of the hospital, so they could start working immediately when they reached there. Seeing her team fussing around, Sharon recalled those years of being a rookie working at the TV station. At that time, she had a lot to learn for she did not know anything. But now, she had attained perfection and become a senior.
After recording for a while, Mark ran over to Sharon with a bottle of water. "Sharon, you look really beautiful today. You should also wear make- up in the future to look more energetic."
Hearing that, she smiled, remaining silent. After all, although she was willing to put on make-up, she had no time for that.
"We almost finish our work. Later, we're planning to have lunch together. Sharon, you should come with us too..."
Packing her bag, she saw that it was almost 12 o'clock. When she recalled the appointment she made with Stanley last night, she hurriedly said, "It's okay. You guys can go without me. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Bye!"
As soon as she finished her words, she left.
Seeing her disappear so fast, Mark muttered, "Who is she going to meet that she even put on makeup today?"
Without warning, the cameraman patted Mark and asked, "What are you muttering about? Let's go!"
Meanwhile, Sharon arrived at the place where she met Stanley yesterday. However, after searching around, she still couldn't find him, so she took out her phone, mumbling, "Didn't we agree to meet here? Is he going to stand me up?"
Just as she was thinking about it, someone patted her on her shoulder all of a sudden. With a sense of joy, she turned around and shouted, "Stan..."
Unfortunately, it was Howard.
Immediately, the smile on Sharon's face disappeared. Seeing that, Howard rolled his eyes and asked, "What's the matter? You're not happy to see me, huh?"
"No, I thought it was Stanley."
"He's here?"
"I called him yesterday and told him to meet me here. 12 o'clock has passed, but he still hasn't shown up." Sharon was somewhat discouraged.
Howard glanced at her and asked, "Have you gotten his phone number?" "Yes." "Excellent!" Howard stretched out his hand. "Give it to me!"
Stunned, Sharon asked. "What?"
"I wanna give him a call!"
"Oh, right." Quickly, Sharon found Stanley's number and told Howard. Right after that, he called Stanley directly.
One minute passed, and Howard was so mad that he almost threw the phone. "D*mn it! He's not answering the call!"
Seeing his response, Sharon was startled. "Huh? Why did he answer my call last night?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Howard glanced at her and curled his lips. Without saying a word, he narrowed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Which ward was he staying in yesterday? Take me there!"
"You want to wait and see if he will go there?"
"Yeah."
Hearing this, Sharon also agreed that this was the only way to find Stanley. Immediately, she took Howard to the ward. In the elevator, she thought for a while and tried calling Stanley again, but there was still no answer.
Disappointed, she sighed. She recalled what he said on the phone yesterday, telling her that he wouldn't come today as he had something to do. Was he really not coming?
Still, she hoped that she would be able to meet him in Ayana's ward.
However, when she came to the ward, not only was Stanley missing but Ayana as well. So, she asked the nurse, and much to her surprise, the nurse told her, "They discharged early this morning."
Standing in the empty corridor, Sharon was so upset that she was about to cry.
In a conference room at the Warner Group.
The executives and the managers were discussing the way to incorporate another company. However, in the midst of their discussion, they found that Stanley, who was sitting at the highest position, was absentminded.
"Ahem." Someone cleared his throat. "Mr. Warner?"
Stanley came to his senses and suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"
Four years ago, he was taken back to the Warner Family by Ayana, and at that time, he had completely lost his memory. He couldn't even remember his own name, so, eventually, he used Ayana's family name. That was why everyone addressed him as Mr. Warner in the company now.
Upon hearing that, his assistant looked at his watch and hurriedly said, "It's one o'clock, and it's actually lunchtime now. Mr. Warner, are you planning to have lunch now?"
Pushing the chair aside, Stanley stood up. "Since it's lunchtime, let's take a rest for an hour. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished his words, he turned around and went out of the conference room.
He then went straight to the hospital. Although he had refused Sharon last night, saying that he would not meet her, he had a mixed feeling today, making him feel sorry for her if he didn't show up.
Just now, he did receive several calls from her, and he refused to answer all of them. So, he thought that she would feel disappointed and leave the hospital after he refused her several times.
The appointment she made yesterday was at 12 o'clock, and now it was almost 1 o'clock. Hence, Stanley guessed she would not be there anymore even if he rushed over there now.
When Stanley reached the hospital, much to his surprise, he saw Sharon standing at the hospital gate.
She was still... there.
Stunned, he did not get off the car. Instead, he sat in the driver's seat, looking at Sharon, who was standing on the roadside, where they had parted last night.
Although it was already September, the weather in Allgate City was still very warm during the day. Her face was brimming red after standing under the sun for a while. Seeing that, Stanley narrowed his eyes, observing her.
Thinking back four years ago, Stanley could still remember the panic he felt when he lost his memory. It took him a few years to get used to the new environment, but he never expected that Sharon would come out of nowhere one day, telling him that they were husband and wife.
Husband and wife...
He was married? And this woman was his wife?
He found it hard to believe.
Or could it be that... she lied to him on purpose?
What did she want from him?
Just as his thoughts were running wild, Sharon, who was standing under the sun seemed to have sensed something. Immediately, she turned her head and walked towards him. Subconsciously, Stanley lowered his body, as if he was going to be caught peeping at someone.
However, he soon realized that she was standing rather far away from him, so she probably couldn't notice him.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he was about to leave. However, when he saw a man walking towards Sharon with a cup of water, he immediately frowned. She was smiling back at him! It seemed that they had a close relationship.
Since Sharon's back was turned against Stanley, he couldn't tell what they were talking about. After a while, the man suddenly reached out and hugged Sharon, letting her body fell into his arms...
Meanwhile, Stanley looked at them with a poker face. After a moment, with a sneer, he drove his car away and left.
