Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 160

Sharon had long heard that the parking lot was extremely horrible, and there were many accidents that happened here. Besides, some horror scenes in movies were also shot in this kind of place. How could she think of coming alone to this kind of dark and terrifying underground parking lot!

She tried her best to run forward, and the footsteps behind her followed closely.

"Oh God, please help me!"

As she ran, she wailed with tears.

She regretted looking for Jewel. She regretted it so much...

All of a sudden, she felt a tight grip on her waist as she was tightly held by a powerful force. She could not move at once, which scared her so much that she stuttered, "l-l am a good person... Please... Please let me go..."

She began to talk nonsense with her eyes closed.

A low and mellow voice came from the top of her head, "Why did you run?"

"Huh?"

This voice...

And this odor...

They were so familiar.

The smell of mint was lingering in her nose. Sharon suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head, bumping into Stanley's angular face with prominent facial features.

She was dumbfounded for a moment and said, "Why are you here?"

Stanley looked down at her and said, "Why can't I be here?"

Suddenly coming to her senses, she pushed him away and glared at him. "Why did you scare me?"

Her palms were sweaty, and her feet were still shaking in fear at this moment. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Stanley glanced at her and said, "You scared yourself, but you blame it on me?"

Indeed, it was Sharon who scared herself. Before Stanley showed up, Sharon was so worried that her heart was in her mouth. He suddenly patted her on the shoulder, which directly scared her and made her run away in panic.

But she wouldn't admit it, or she would be so embarrassed.

"It was you who scared me. I just stood there but you suddenly appeared out of nowhere and patted me! I thought I saw a ghost!"

Stanley didn't want to expose her little lie. He frowned and looked at her. "Why are you here?"

Sharon's flustered brain slowly calmed down at this moment and began to work on her excuse. She certainly could not let him know that she was here to take Jewel's photo secretly, or she might not be allowed here tomorrow.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

Sharon preemptively said, "Tell me honestly, did you come here to cheat on me with your sweet mistress?"

Stanley swung his hand on her which eventually landed on her head and he gently rubbed it.

Sharon hissed in pain and shouted, "You hit me again?"

As she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to fight with him.

"You call this hitting? I barely touch you!" Stanley chuckled helplessly.

Sharon pursed her lips and asked, "Then why do I feel so painful?"

"This is called blackmailing."

Sharon squinted. "Mr. Jones, I'm surprised you know about blackmailing."

Stanley squinted back at her.

"Wait!" Sharon immediately reacted. "You almost changed the topic. You haven't answered my question yet. Did you come here to date your mistress?"

Stanley rubbed his aching head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I have something to do here."

Sharon asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

"You wouldn't know even if I told you."

"How will I know if you don't tell me?"

Stanley was slightly shocked by her swift reaction.

She was pretty quick-witted.

He narrowed his deep eyes and asked, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

Sharon rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really expect an answer from me before you answer my question? Answer me first, then I'll tell you!"

"Did she just haggle with me?" Stanley thought, his mouth twitching into a smirk.

"I know what you're doing here even if you don't want to tell me." "Huh?"

Sharon was surprised. How could he tell? "S-So what am I doing here?" Sharon glared at him and asked.

Her heart was beating vigorously.

"You're here for Jewel."

Sure enough, Sharon curled her lips and said, "Anthony told you, didn't he?"

Looking down at her, Stanley patted her head and asked, "Why do you want to see Jewel? Hmm?"

She couldn't tell him that she was here to take Jewel's scandalous photos, trying to teach her a lesson.

So, her brain gear rotated for an excellent excuse. She slapped his hand away and snorted, "You don't want to tell me where she lives because you don't want me to see her, do you?"

"How do you know that I don't want to tell you since you never call me?" Stanley saw through her thoughts at a glance. "Anthony doesn't want to tell you. That's his business. I didn't say I don't want to tell you."

Anthony suddenly sneezed.

He thought, "Well, someone must be talking behind my back."

Sharon narrowed her eyes and rubbed her chin, looking like a calculating businesswoman. "Since you want to tell me, good. Take me to her then."

"She doesn't live here anymore."

Sharon's eyes widened, dumbfounded. "What? If she doesn't live here anymore, what are you doing here then? Didn't you come here to see her?"

Sharon did not believe him at all. She was certain that he lied to her.

Stanley frowned. "Who told you that I'm here to see Jewel?"

"Why else are you here for? She lives here, and you just happen to show up. You must be here to see her."

"No." Stanley pinched her face. "You haven't answered me yet. How did you find this place?"

Since Anthony didn't tell her Jewel's address, how did she know?

"Uh... Someone else told me. Do you think no one knows where Jewel lives except Anthony?" Sharon answered sheepishly. Although nothing happened between Liam and her, Stanley would not like it if he knew that she went to Liam.

Stanley slowly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who told you Jewel's address?"

"Uh..." Sharon blurted out, "Jewel's fan!"

Stanley frowned. "Fan?"

"Yes! Her fans! To tell you the truth, I used to adore Jewel and even joined her online fan club. Some die- hard fans knew where she lives, so I asked them about it."

"Alas, I really admire my intelligence and savvy to tell such a lie out loud. Maybe I should be a screenwriter instead," Sharon thought to herself.

Stanley fixed his gazes on her, still having some doubts.

Sharon immediately added, "But I don't like her anymore! The sight of her annoys me!"

The corners of Stanley's mouth lifted into a smile. "You're honest."

Sharon snorted. She was not stupid. How could she like her husband's mistress?

"You're getting bolder and bolder these days, huh? Hiding in the parking lot alone."

"I'm not afraid," Sharon said indifferently.

Stanley smirked in amusement. "You're not? Then why did you run so fast just now? Crying and howling too."

Sharon blushed and got agitated in embarrassment. She raised her hand and was about to hit him. "Who was crying and howling? How can you describe a young lady like that?"

Stanley glanced at her hands and said, "Young lady is usually delicate and adorable. She won't beat a man as you do."

Sharon puffed up her cheeks in agitation and glared at him with her big eyes.

Stanley looked down at the girl in front of him. Her makeup-free palm-sized face was fair and flawless. Her eyes were so big and bright as if they could speak.

He reached out to pull her over and said in a low voice, "You look more ladylike now that I want to eat you up."

Sharon's face turned red. Did this guy want to tear off his serious disguise and turn into a wolf in public again?

Stanley smiled as if he could read her mind and said, "Okay, let's go home."

But she had just arrived!

Sharon refused to leave. "Stop!"

Stanley raised his eyebrows and ignored her, pretending that he didn't hear her.

"Hmph! Did he pretend that he didn't hear me? B*stard!"

Sharon glared at him and thought.

Looking at his broad back, she gritted her teeth and began to take small steps back. After retreating for a long distance, she screamed and suddenly ran toward him.

"Bang!"

She jumped straight up onto the man's back, hooking her arms around his neck tightly.

"B*stard, b*stard!"

Before Stanley could react, she lowered her head to bite him.

Stanley lunged forward as she abruptly jumped on him without warning. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and could hold her in time. Before he could steady himself, she opened her mouth and bit him. Agitated, he smacked her backside. "Naughty girl!"

The miffed Sharon bit his shoulder hard out of frustration.

Stanley supported her hips with one hand while pinching her flesh with the other. "Let go!"

Sharon lay on his back and bit him. "No!"

Stanley twisted his hand hard.

"Ouch..."

Sharon screamed and released her bite. There was a blush on her pale face as she gritted her teeth and snarled, "You pinch my butt!"

The butt was the meatiest of all body parts, so the pain was unbearable when it was pinched.

Sharon knew Stanley very well. He was like a gentleman in usual times, but he would turn into a ruffian when he was alone with her.

Right now was a great example.

Hugging him, Sharon straightened up her neck and huffed furiously, "You're crazy!"

Stanley retracted his hand and held her with both hands. "I have a crazier game. Do you want to play it?"

Sharon was so startled that her face turned pale again.

He was so wicked and rowdy.

Stanley stood still. "Come down!"

Sharon subconsciously grabbed him and said, "No!"

"Do you want to come down or not?"

"No!"

Stanley pretended to throw her out to which she closed her eyes in fear and screamed, "Ah! No!"

She screamed right into his ears that he grimaced in annoyance. "That's enough. Stop yelling."

"Ah... You want to throw me down!"

"If you continue to shout, I'll throw you down for real!"

The screams stopped abruptly.

Sharon opened her eyes and smiled. "I know you won't do it."

Stanley was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of hurting her, he would have thrown her down.

"Carry me there." Sharon lay on his shoulder and whined adorably. "You scared me just now and my legs are still weak, so I can't walk."

"Are you sure it's not because you're lazy?"

Sharon squinted at him in agitation.

Why must he expose her?

However, Stanley didn't move. Sharon frowned and said, "Why don't you start walking?"

A moment later, he slowly took a step forward and started walking. A low and deep voice sounded, "l-l have never carried a woman."
