Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 702

At that moment, Emily was hesitant. Although she had already thought of a way to tell him about it before she entered the room, the moment she saw Lennon, she hesitated again.

How should she tell Lennon about it?

If she were to beg him directly, how could a cold-hearted person like him possibly agree!

"Why did you come to look for me? Is there anything?"

After a long time, Emily still didn't say a word, so Lennon impatiently put down the book in his hand and frowned. "If there's nothing else, then don't just stand there."

In fact, Lennon was already driving her out.

Hurriedly, Emily took two steps forward and blurted out, "Uhm, it's already so late. Why aren't you resting?"

Coldly, Lennon looked at her.

Awkwardly, Emily wriggled her toes. "What I meant was that, since you have nothing to do, stop reading that book then. It's time to rest. It's too late to read, and it would be bad for your eyes!"

Surprised, Lennon raised an eyebrow. "Are you

concerned about me?"

Suddenly, Emily thought of an idea and ran over to him. "Yes, I'm concerned about you. Although you're a bad person, I can't stand it when people don't take care of themselves. So please go and rest."

"I haven't showered yet."

"Oh, hurry up and go shower then!"

When Emily saw that Lennon was loosening up, she couldn't care much and directly held his arm as she pulled him up from the chair. "Come on. I'll prepare the bathtub for you!"

Meanwhile, Lennon didn't say anything, and he only gave Emily a sidelong glance.

Eagerly attentive, Emily ran back and forth to prepare the bathtub for Lennon, and she even prepared a set of pajamas for him. By the time she had him in the bathroom, she was sweating all over.

"Take your time to shower then. I'll wait for you outside."

Softly, Emily knocked on the bathroom door and said.

After Lennon let out a low hum, it was complete silence.

For a moment, Emily perked up her ears and tried to listen carefully. When she heard the sound of water from the bathroom, she then ran off to look for Lennon's suit in peace.

However, she searched both pockets of Lennon's suit but did not manage to find his phone.

"Could it be in the study?"

As Emily figured it should be in the study, she quickly ran to the study and opened the drawer. As expected, she found a black phone in it.

Without hesitation, she took it out and unlocked it.

However, Lennon's phone had a password, and she could not unlock it.

What was the password? Could it be Lennon's birthday?

Then, Emily tried to key in Lennon's birthday, but it was incorrect. Although she did try with other numbers, she still couldn't unlock Lennon's phone.

"D*mn it!"

In a low voice, Emily cursed. Why did Lennon have to put such a complicated password for such an old phone? The fact that it even required a password to unlock... was there anything in the phone that couldn't be seen?

Just as she was discouraged, a voice suddenly came from behind her. "What are you doing?"

The voice almost scared her to death!

When Emily heard the voice, she instantly turned her head. Due to the scare, the phone in her hand fell to the ground.

With a loud bang, it broke into pieces.

It was seen that Lennon's tall and slender figure was standing at the door of the study. At that moment, he was in his bathrobe, with his black hair still dripping water, and his brown eyes were cold.

Terrified, Emily retreated backward until her calves bumped into the chair, which caused her to grimace in pain and even nearly tripped. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Since... w-when did you come here?"

Wasn't he taking a shower?

However, Lennon didn't say a word as he slowly entered the room, with his gaze fixated on Emily, like a beast that was about to eat her alive.

"What are you looking for?" With a glance at the phone that fell to the ground, he asked, "Have you found what you want?"

Nervously, Emily licked the corner of her lips and suddenly understood why Lennon was so angry. Hurriedly, she explained, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for any confidential documents. I was just looking for Camden's phone number."

Hearing her explanation, Lennon stopped in his tracks, and his gaze was filled with suspicion.

"You're looking for Camden's number?"

"Yes!" Immediately, Emily nodded. "But your phone has a password, and I can't unlock it..."

Silently, Lennon stared at Emily with a gaze was full of scrutiny as if he was judging the truth in her words.

After a long while, he uttered, "Get out."

Huh?

It was so sudden that Emily did not manage to react in time.

"Do you want me to repeat myself for the second time?"

"No..." Slightly embarrassed, Emily felt guilty that he caught her red-handed while she was trying to peek at his phone.

With a dark expression, Lennon said sinisterly, "Get out of here then."

Slowly, Emily walked toward the exit, but the further she went, the more upset she felt. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you treat me better? What heinous things have I done to you that

you have to be so cold to me? It's my fault that I tried to go through your phone, and I apologize for that. However, it's because you are too scary that I dare not ask you for a number directly!"

Then, Lennon glanced at her with his thin lips tightly pursed.

In fact, Emily was so pissed that she snorted and ran away.

When she returned to the bedroom, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, Emily vented her anger by scolding Lennon silently for a long time.

Embarrassed to call Ariah, Emily could only send a text message over, "Ariah, I'm sorry. I didn't manage to get anything out of him, and he is not willing to tell me anything. I'm sorry."

With a sigh, Ariah looked at the text message and replied, "It's fine. I shall think of another way then. Camden is his friend, so I can understand if Lennon doesn't want to tell you anything about it. Don't think too much about it and have a good rest."

After Ariah sent the text message, she decided to go to bed.

Maybe she should look for Stanley tomorrow. Although others might not help her, Stanley wouldn't just sit around and do nothing about it.

The next day at noon, Ariah took the time to drive over to Jones Group during her lunch break. In the end, after waiting for half an hour, Stanley was still in a meeting, and she started to get impatient.

"Hello, miss. May I ask when will Mr. Jones be done with the meeting?" When Ariah saw the secretary walked out of the meeting room, she immediately pulled the lady over to ask.

However, the secretary glanced at Arah and said, "This meeting is very important, and we have been preparing for it for almost a week. It may take a few more hours. Miss Myers, I'm sorry, but

you might have to wait for a little longer.”

Since Ariah couldn't wait any longer, she hurriedly let the secretary go and called Sharon.

Over the past few days, Sharon had been very sleepy because of her pregnancy. In a daze, she received picked up the call. The moment she heard Ariah's anxious voice over the phone, she instantly became alert.

Suddenly, Sharon sat up from her bed. "Ariah, did you say that you're at Jones Group? What? You have an urgent matter to tell Stanley, and you want me to ask him to meet you? Okay, sure. Don't worry. I'll call him right now."

After Ariah thanked Sharon, she let out a sigh of relief. Not long after Ariah hung up the phone, the door of the meeting room was suddenly opened and a group of senior executives came out one after another.

Then, the secretary from earlier ran over to invite her. "Miss Myers, Mr. Jones is waiting for you in the room."

The secretary's attitude was much better than before, and Ariah was really grateful for the help from Sharon.

As Ariah followed the secretary into the meeting room, she entered and saw Stanley was standing in front of a wide floor-to-ceiling window, with a woman leaning close to him.

In a tight- waisted suit, the woman's silky long wavy hair was draped over her shoulders, and her pair of tiny hands rested softly on Stanley's arm.

As soon as the woman heard the commotion behind her, she quickly retreated to the side and looked at Ariah with a smile in her eyes. However, from that gaze, she was clearly sizing Ariah up.

For a moment, Ariah was stunned before she slowly frowned and wondered if Sharon, that foolish lady, knew that there was another woman who was trying to hit on Stanley...

Meanwhile, Stanley turned his body to the side, and his jet-black eyes looked over. "I heard from Sharon that you have something urgent to tell me?"
