Sharon shook her head, "He has known it before I do, yet he never spoke up.He must have his
reason."
"So you have forgiven him."
"He's never done anything wrong to me.What is there to forgive him of?"
Besides, she was quite grateful that they had not brought it out on the table.
Otherwise, she couldn't even imagine what would happen if Ruben found out.By that point, everyone
would feel uncomfortable.
Jameson frowned as if he had seen through her mind.
"All you need to worry about is what you want, not what others want."
"But Ruben is my little brother and my only....."
"Sharon Allyson, it doesn't matter if it's ‘only’ or ‘one of’.You are yourself, first and foremost.There's
nothing wrong whatsoever to live once for yourself."
Sharon opened her mouth, wanting to object, but Jameson cut her off, "Do you know why you're so
stressed out? Because you always try to take care of others’ feelings.You always overthink.That's why
your life is so overwhelming."
"I don't always do that-I just don't want Ruben to..."
"Ruben is twenty already--a grown-up-and if he can't even handle this, do you think your efforts are
worth it?"
Sharon replied, "But this is what I want to do.No one is more important to me than Ruben is.If I had to
pick someone among all, I would choose him."
"Not even I?"
Sharon met his eyes and said softly, "Why...why do you have to make a fool of yourself?"
"...”
Jameson turned off the light and said, "Good night."
Sharon blinked her eyes in the dark, "You mad again?"
"No," Jameson revealed nothing in his voice.
"You were the one that asked such a question.Why did you have to do it when you already knew the
answer? Didn't you tell me I have to think about what I want first? That's what I did!"
"Cool," Jameson snorted.
Seeing him like this, Sharon raised the corners of her lips, feeling better significantly.
"I want to go shopping tomorrow.What time is Jennifer gonna be here?"
"She'll be here when you're up."
"Ok."
‘This a**hole sounds like he had swallowed explosives!’ Perhaps due to the sufficient amount of sleep
she had got for the past two days, she was in a much better mood that she didn't feel like sleeping at
all.
And the idea of igniting the explosive lying next to her seemed alluring.
"Mr.Proctor," she spoke in a seductive voice, "President Proctor-—-"
Jameson didn't react to her at all.
Sharon twisted a little in his arms and then poked him on the waist, "You're asleep?"
He remained silent still.
"What a pity," said Sharon.
She was going to turn her back to him when he grabbed on her wrist tightly, "What you talking about?"
"Never mind.I can't fall asleep, so I thought we could have some fun, but since you're tired, let's just
sleep, goodni....."
Jameson sealed her mouth with a kiss.
At the last moment, he had been lying next to her; now, he was on top of her, emitting a sense of
dangerous desire.
"You're not going to sleep" he said.
Sharon felt regretful afterward "This a**hole was the kind of man who never puts down grudges.Why
did I offer myself to him like that!?'
It was like slapping herself in the face.It was already noon when she woke up the next day.
Jameson had left for the company.
Whiling washing, Sharon couldn't help but make a "tsk" sound when she saw the marks Jameson had
left on her body. She put on a shirt with a collar to cover them up.
When she left the bedroom, the wonderful smell of cooked rice came to her.
Jennifer came out from the kitchen and greeted her with a smile, "Madam, good morning.Lunch will be
ready in just a while."
"Ok," Sharon smiled back.
She poured herself a cup of water and sat down slowly at the dining table.
She sent a text to Tiffany: Tiffany, are you at the studio?
Tiffany replied immediately: Yeah, what's up?
Sharon: Let's hang out in the afternoon.The work at the studio was not much these days.So she
accepted the invitation right away.
At this moment, Jennifer came out from the kitchen, carrying a tray.
"Madam, you must be starving.Sorry for the wait," she served the food as she was speaking.
"Thank you so much for coming all the way over here."
"Oh, it's nothing.The Star Lake Mansion is being redecorated.Mr.Proctor gave me a long break with full
salaries! I felt so guilty about it.It's good that I can come and look after you now."
Sharon finished half of the soup and asked, "Star Lake Mansion is already being redecorated?"
"Yeah.I went there yesterday.It's completely changed.There's a lot more flowers and plants in the
garden, and the colors inside the house are much warmer."
Jennifer then cautiously asked, "Madam, you and sir will move back afterward, wont ya?"
"Maybe we will," Sharon smiled softly.
She didn't seem willing to talk about the subject, so Jennifer stopped asking and went to clean up the
kitchen.
After lunch, Sharon went to the sofa.
As she felt fully recharged, she texted Tiffany, telling her that she was heading out.
At the underground parking, Jameson's driver approached, "Ma'am, Mr.Proctor asked me to drive you."
Sharon didn't say anything.Since the driver was already there, it could only mean that Jameson had
planned everything.
There was no point protesting.
As the car slowly exited the parking lot, sunlight gradually fell onto them.
The weather was great.
When they arrived at the shopping mall, Sharon saw Tiffany from along distance.
She turned to Jennifer and said, "Jen, my friend is here.You should find a place downstairs for a cup of
tea.I'll call you when I finish."
Jennifer nodded, "Of course."
Jameson's order was to keep her company.Now that her friend was here, she didn't have to keep
following her.
