Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) -
Chapter 407
Stanley nodded. Seeing that, the secretary stood aside and said, "The boss has been waiting for you for a good while. So, I'll get going first. Mr. Jones, what do you want to drink? I'll ask Director Tuff to serve
you a drink."
"I'm good. Thank you."
"Then I will leave you alone with my boss."
After the secretary finished his words, he turned around and left. Coming to the front of a middle-aged man, Stanley looked at him respectfully.
This man had an extraordinary identity, making Stanley show him respect naturally.
Seconds later, the middle-aged man looked up with a smile. He pointed to the chair while speaking, "Sit down."
Stanley obeyed his words and sat down.
"So, you went to talk to your father in detail? What did he say?" After finishing reading the document, the middle-aged man looked up and asked Stanley.
Facing his question, Stanley answered honestly, "He had nothing to fear as he knew that I don't have any solid evidence right now, and thereby he was not panicked at all."
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded and said after a moment of silence, "Because I don't have enough evidence, my superior kept pressuring me. You told me that you have a way to expose him. Tell me; what are you going to do?"
However, Stanley answered faintly, "Let him go."
The middle-aged man paused for a second before adding, "Do you mean to allow him to go back to his country?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Firstly, there is no evidence. Secondly, I'm able to think of a way to get the evidence only after I let him go back," Stanley said slowly. "Someone like him will definitely check the evidence that he hid earlier as soon as he is released. Only at that time will I have the chance to know where he hid the evidence."
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man picked up the cup of tea, taking two sips of it slowly. Instead of answering, he asked again, "What did you and your father say in the monitoring room just now?" The whole session was recorded just now.
Why was he asking him when he could figure it out by himself? Stanley thought for a moment before replying, "He was very arrogant as he believed that I don't have any evidence, and thereby he won't reveal anything. Moreover, he's intentionally trying to sow discord between me and you. And, that's all."
Seeing that he was telling the truth, the middle-aged man smiled. In fact, he had already known the conversation between Stanley and his father as he had access to the surveillance camera of the monitoring
room.
The reason he asked was to determine whether Stanley was telling the truth.
"When do you want me to let him go?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Wait till I finish one more thing. After that, I will email you."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your updates."
Hearing that, Stanley nodded.
"Well, you shall go back and have a rest." The middle-aged man looked at Stanley and said, "I heard that you haven't found your wife yet. Feel free to let me know if you need any help."
Stanley unceremoniously accepted the favor, nodding, "Sure. Thanks in advance."
"You're welcome." Then, the middle-aged man gave an order, and a second later, his secretary opened the door and came in. "Bring Mr. Jones to the door."
The secretary nodded with a smile. "Mr. Jones, this way please."
With that, Stanley stood up and left. After he left, the secretary approached the middle-aged man, asking in a low voice, "Can we trust him?"
Hearing that, the middle-aged man glanced at his secretary.
"They are father and son after all. I'm afraid that he will change his mind in the future." The secretary frowned, whispering. "Our superior is not easy to deal with. If we fail to arrest Isai this time, our next boss will definitely look down on us."
Hearing that, the middle-aged man pondered for a while before saying, "Stanley and his father have always been against each other. I think we can trust Stanley for the moment. We just have to be more cautious. In case he betrays us, we must get rid of him immediately."
Instantly, the secretary agreed. "Yes, sir."
It was cold in the winter. Anthony stood by the car and had waited for Stanley for nearly half an hour. After a long while, he finally saw a man coming from afar. The man was covered with a black woolen coat, which made him look taller.
Not only that, his aura was so aloof that it gave people chills.
His face with deep facial features had no expression at all, which didn't allow others to read his mind.
As soon as he reached the side of the car, Stanley opened the car door with his huge hand in a black glove. The next second, he leaned into the car seat and ordered in a low voice, "Let's go." Hearing that, Anthony came to his senses and immediately got into the car. Quickly, he started the car and left. After traveling out a distance, he asked, "Do you want to go back, boss?"
In the car, there was silence for a long time.
Noticing that, Anthony waited for another moment before turning around to take a look, and in the next second, he was stunned.
He saw Stanley lean back in the back seat, sound asleep.
When he saw that, he sighed, and then, he slowed down the car before he began to drive slowly on the streets.
During these two months, Stanley probably didn't sleep well every day...
Now that he could fall asleep, Anthony decided to let him have a good sleep for a while.
After Sharon went missing for two months, Stanley had searched for her nonstop all over the country, but until now, she was still nowhere to be seen, causing him to feel so desperate as if there was a knife stabbing his heart.
Because of that, Anthony looked forward to Sharon's sudden return. Just like how she had disappeared before but then appeared at the doorstep of the house without warning.
After Anthony drove around the streets for half an hour, Stanley who was sitting in the back seat finally woke up. He then asked with a frown, "How long have I slept?"
"Not very long. It's only been a little more than half an hour." Anthony immediately replied.
"Alright." Stanley said. After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Let's go back."
"To where?"
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Anthony asking this question as he was unsure whether he wanted to go to Sharon's apartment or Ember's house.
After all, Stanley had moved Ember elsewhere since Isai was taken away.
"Go back to Charming Hills Apartment."
"Yes, sir."
Turning the steering wheel, Anthony changed the direction of the car. Inside the car, there was only silence again. When Anthony noticed that, he wanted to turn on the radio to listen to the traffic report, but then, he was afraid of disturbing Stanley. Thus, in the end, he kept driving silently.
Out of nowhere.
"Stop the car now."
Stanley suddenly spoke with an anxious tone. "Anthony, stop the car!"
Anthony was shocked when he heard that Stanley's tone had changed. He immediately thought that something bad might happen. Without further thinking, he immediately pulled over the car, and before the car completely stopped, Stanley had already opened the door and went out of the car.
Instantly, Anthony turned around and called out, "Boss?"
However, Stanley was in a hurry. Ignoring Anthony, he strode toward a woman anxiously and stopped behind her. Then, he reached out his trembling hand, fearing that it was just a dream, so he quickly withdrew his hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sharon?"
Hearing Stanley's voice, the woman turned around. At first, she was stunned, but a second later, her face turned red. "Sir... Sir, did you call me?"
Wow, this man was so handsome. Was he a celebrity?
His facial features were so deep, sharp, and angular. Not only that, he had a cold aura as well.
When the woman met Stanley's gaze, her heart was beating fast as Stanley was now looking at her with burning eyes as if she was a lost treasure. It was unbearable for her to look into his eager eyes... But as soon as she turned around, Stanley's bright eyes quickly dimmed.
Did he get the wrong person?
