Watch Out, CEO Daddy! novel Chapter 18

The unexpected incident that had taken place that morning nearly caused Sharon to be late for work. The moment she reached the company, she was notified that the president had summoned her.

Simon had placed her in charge of the company’s Mountain Linguistic City project. Perhaps he wanted to enquire about her work progress.

Sharon arrived at the president’s office. Simon was sitting on a leather swivel chair, handling documents busily. He was wearing a hand-sewn suit that was custom-tailored to fit. It made him look extremely good-looking.

“President Zachary.” Sharon stepped to the front of the office desk.

Simon raised his head to look at her and squinted his black eyes. “What’s wrong with your face?”

Sharon was slightly dumbfounded. She had already applied some ointment, yet the swelling was so obvious.

She did not wish to let him know that Fiona had come for her earlier. He had said that he did not wish to be caught in her grudge between herself and Howard.

Thus, she had no choice but to tell a lie, "I accidentally tripped on my way out today."

Simon's eyes dimmed slightly. He had no intention of exposing her since she had told such a terrible lie. Whether or not she wanted to tell him the truth was up to her to choose.

"How are your preparations for the Mountain Linguistic City project?" Simon asked.

"I've gone through the project's introduction, and I'm planning to go over to the site today to have a look at it," said Sharon.

"It's just the right time then because I'm about to head over there too. You'll come with me," he said before putting down the pen in his hand; it was the pen he used to sign documents. Simon got up and was about to make a move.

On the other hand, Sharon was a bit flustered but quickly regained her composure. She replied immediately, "Alright."

Then, she tagged along with Simon and left the company as they made their way to the project site concerning the Mountain Linguistic City.

The business site was composed of a hotel, entertainment complex, and shopping complex. Sharon was in charge of the interior design of the hotel.

After the two of them arrived, the site manager welcomed them. The manager reported to Simon on the project's progress.

Meanwhile, Sharon tagged along beside them and made notes as she observed the environment and listened to the report.

While the manager was still explaining halfway, a worker interrupted them; the worker wished to seek advice to solve a problem. Simon permitted the manager to head over to settle the issue.

Not long after, Sharon and Simon came to the shopping complex that had just been finished. There were workers in the main hall of the first floor putting up chandeliers.

Everyone was so busy working that no one noticed their presence. All of a sudden, Simon's phone rang. Consequently, he asked Sharon to wait for him as he made his way to a corner to answer the call.

Simon stood in a corridor not far away from Sharon as he spoke to another person on the phone. On the other hand, Sharon had now grasped the basic idea of the place, and her mind had begun thinking of her design proposal.

Coincidentally, she spotted a chandelier above Simon's head that had been just installed. It was shaking vigorously while being blown by the wind.

'It is too dangerous.' Subconsciously, Sharon wanted to tell Simon to leave that spot. However, before she could speak up, the chandelier fell!

"Careful!" She rushed over and pushed Simon away reflexively.

Bang!

"Argh!" Sharon was in pain as she shrieked.

"Sharon!" Simon grabbed hold of her. He saw that her leg was injured, and blood was flowing down it. The chandelier had smashed against it when it fell.
