Sharon was gone without a trace by the time Zeke hung up the call.
He sighed helplessly and decided to let her off the hook for now.
Zeke arrived at Linton Group after a short while.
A crowd had gathered outside Linton Group’s entrance.
They seemed to be reporters, judging from their appearances.
Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton were influential figures now.
The snow in June, the 800 million monetary gifts, and the military officer who addressed Zeke as ‘Sir’ were all incidents that made huge impacts on the entire Eurasia community.
A personal interview session with Zeke or Lacey would create a large amount of profit for the reporters.
But Lacey was reluctant to be interviewed. She did not allow any of the reporters to enter the building. So they had no other choice but to wait outside the building.
Coincidentally, Zeke noticed Sharon among the crowd.
She was there to interview Zeke and Lacey as well.
“I wasted so much effort to follow you earlier, but there you are.” Zeke parked his car in the staff parking zone and walked up to Sharon.
He gently patted her shoulder. “Ms. Edward, your driving skills is superb. You even managed to ditch me earlier.”
Sharon became nervous after she turned around and saw Zeke.
But she quickly calmed down and responded in her usual impassive manner, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”
Women are temperamental indeed. Zeke explained, “You are so forgetful, Ms. Edward. Have you forgotten about our agreement earlier? You promised to make me Zeke Williams’s driver if I help you get back your driving license and vehicle registration certificate just now.”
Sharon said, “I don’t even know what are you talking about. I’ve never seen you. Let me warn you now. Stop harassing me. Otherwise, I will call the cops.”
Zeke was amused. “Fine. I hope you will not beg me for any more favor in the future.”
He deliberately flashed the employee’s tag on his chest at her before turning around to leave.
Sharon’s eyes gleamed when she noticed the tag. That looks like Linton Group’s work pass. Could he be someone from Linton Group?
She glanced at Zeke’s car that was parked in the staff parking zone. That’s right. He is definitely one of Linton Group’s employee.
Sharon felt embarrassed when she was reminded of the lie she told Zeke about her identity as Linton Group’s lady boss.
I don’t think he realized I lied to him, judging from his reaction. Perhaps he had never seen the lady boss? Yes. This must be it. Wait. He’s not entering through the main entrance. Is he entering the building using a special passageway?
Sharon hurriedly followed Zeke.
As expected, Zeke arrived at the back of the building and walked through the rear door.
She moved forward immediately.
Unexpectedly, Zeke stopped her. “Wait a minute. Who are you to enter?”
Sharon answered, “Cut the crap. I am the company’s lady boss. Why can’t I enter?”
Zeke was speechless. She’s still pretending to be the lady boss now.
Zeke said, “You should enter through the main entrance if you’re the lady boss. This backdoor is for security guards like me.”
Sharon was unrelenting. “I can do as I please. This is none of your business.”
She shoved Zeke aside and walked through the door by force.
I am so unlucky today. First, I stumbled into Nancy Hinton. Then I met with Sharon Edward. Whatever. I’ll just ignore her.
He headed toward Lacey’s office.
Sharon was going to the president’s office as well.
So it seemed to Sharon as if Zeke were following her.
Sharon was annoyed. “Why are you following me? Do you believe I’ll fire you?”
