Watch Out, CEO Daddy! novel Chapter 11

"She's…" Simon was thinking of a way to introduce her.

"President Zachary, you’ve forgotten to bring your female partner in with you," said Sharon, who was being halted, in a somewhat grievant tone.

Simon raised his brows. 'Female partner?'

"Let her in," said Douglas.

Douglas' slightly dull yet sharp gaze began to examine Sharon. He had never seen a lady once appear beside his son for many years. 'Could it be that this girl is special?'

Sharon was delighted when she got the green light. She smiled and walked into the scene with her head held high.

"Nice to meet you, Director Zachary,” she greeted him politely. Douglas merely kept eyeing her with a sharp gaze. This made her nervous.

She averted her own eyes and noticed that Simon's cold eyes were staring at her. Her heart began thumping quickly, and she evaded his gaze. She dared not meet his eyes.

'Perhaps he's mad?'

"Simon, is she your partner?" Douglas' looked at his son suspiciously. The latter was rather silent.

Simon kept his eyes on Sharon, but he did not say a word. The silent atmosphere became extraordinarily tense.

Sharon could feel her heart beginning to beat erratically. She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp as she was being stared at by him. She started thinking to herself, 'What if he denies it? Should I ignore everything and rush straight into the hotel?

'No, if I rush straight in, I'll be chased out in no time as someone who has come to cause havoc.

'Then… my only choice is to be with Simon. I must be his partner!'

She summoned up her courage and hooked arms with Simon before smiling. "Call me Sharon. President Zachary said he’d make me his partner for tonight." Her heart was beating hard. She could not imagine herself having the guts to spout such words to Douglas.

When Sharon finished speaking, she raised her gaze to meet Simon's pitch black and deep-seated eyes. She felt extremely guilty.

She was not confident. Additionally, shame would not be the only thing she felt if he ended up shoving her away.

Simon squinted his black eyes as if she had piqued his interest. She continued to stare at the lady's smiley face that looked like a blossoming flower. 'What is she up to?'

At that moment, Howard came out to greet the attendees. He immediately walked over when he saw them.

"You've arrived, grandpa," he spoke while looking at his uncle and grandpa at the same time. Suddenly, he saw the lady beside his uncle, Sharon Jeans!

Howard's pupils shrunk. 'Sharon?'

He stared at her hands that were holding his uncle. 'What a b*tch. Since when did she seduce my uncle?'

"Uncle, what is she doing here?" Howard glanced at Sharon coldly.

Douglas spoke up first, puzzled, "What's wrong? Do you happen to know your uncle's partner as well?"

"Partner?" Howard raised his tone. 'Why would uncle take her as his partner?'

'It has to be Sharon, this shameless lady. She used some underhanded method to spellbind my uncle!'

"Young Master Zachary, I heard that tonight’s banquet is for your wedding anniversary. I came to congratulate you." Sharon wore a smile on her face, but her eyes were gleaming coldly.
