Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 40

Stanley narrowed his deep eyes as he looked at Jewel's graceful figure.

She blushed." Stanley..."

Then, she leaned into his arms with her soft body, caressed his chest with her fingers, and slowly went down.

Stanley grabbed her wrist and said in a calm voice, "You were still deeply asleep when I carried you upstairs, and you're awake so soon?"

Her expression froze, she bit her lip and mumbled, "I woke up suddenly, I..."

"You didn't pretend to be asleep, did you?"

He asked in a sharp and merciless way.

Jewel opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Stanley pushed her hand away, got up, and put down the glass in his hand. "It's getting late. Have a good rest."

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

Jewel ran over and hugged his waist from behind. "I love you! I've loved you for so many years. Don't you feel anything toward me? I don't believe it!"

Stanley frowned.

"Stanley, I can wait for you. I know you have a woman named Rebecca Lambert in your heart, and I know I'm no match for her, but I..."

"Who told you about Rebecca?"

He interjected her with his cold voice while glaring at her with his sharp and cold black eyes like an unsheathed sword.

His question and glare brought goosebumps to Jewel's scalp. "1-1 heard it from someone. I didn't mean to pry into your past. Don't be angry. Stanley, please don't be angry."

She kept explaining, hoping that he would not be angry at her.

Stanley looked at her with cold eyes, it sent a chill down her spine.

Just as Jewel shuddered in fear, Stanley looked away and turned to leave.

Looking at his back as he left, Jewel's legs went jelly and she sat on the ground with sadness in her eyes.

He only had a place in his heart, and the place was occupied by Rebecca that no one could replace. Even though she had been with him for so many years, she could not make him fall in love with her.

He could give her everything under the sun but not his love.

Under the apartment building.

Inside the Hummer.

Sitting in the back seat, Stanley puffed out the cigarette smoke with a gloomy face. Anthony hesitated for a moment and then said, "Boss, are we going back now?"

He didn't answer.

Anthony could only wait. After a while, Stanley glanced out of the window, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "Call Troy and ask him where the KTV is, and then we'll go there."

"Okay."

Anthony agreed and immediately followed his order. He took out the phone and called Troy, to which he answered quickly, and got the address very soon.

After putting the phone away, Anthony reported, "Boss, they're at Golden Glory."

Leaning back on the seat, he closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he said, "Go there now."

"Yes."

Anthony started the car immediately.

About twenty minutes later, the Hummer stopped in front of the KTV entrance, but Stanley made no move to get off the car.

"Uh..." Anthony reminded him, "Boss, we're here."

"Okay."

Stanley in the back seat answered.

"What? Get out of the car then!" Anthony dared not say it out loud, so he could only complain to himself.

Instead, he asked, "Are you here to see Troy?"

Finally opening his eyes, he glanced outside gently and said faintly, "Sharon is here."

"Oh, I see!" Anthony came to a realization.

Anthony thought that it would be embarrassing for Stanley to get off the car and pick Sharon up in person, so he suggested, "Do you need me to ask Madam to come out?"

Stanley thought for a moment. She was now with her colleague. If he went to find her, it would definitely cause a stir.

So, he shook his head and said, "Call her."

"Okay."

Anthony took out his mobile phone, found Sharon's number, and dialed it.

After a while, the phone was connected, and a noisy clamor sounded from the other end of the line, "Hello, who is it?"

Anthony said, "Madam, it's me."

It took Sharon awhile to finally talk again, but this time, she kept her voice down as if she was afraid of being heard by the people around her, "Oh, hey. What's the matter?"

Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Madam, we are outside the KTV. The boss is also there. You should come down."

Sharon refused immediately, "I don't want to. I still have something to do here. You guys go home first!"

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Sharon seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger as she cried, "You don't even know how much I've lost today! They were too cruel. They won all my money! I won't leave until I get my money back!"

Anthony's lips twitched. "Madam..."

"Beep..."

The phone was hung up.

With a wry laugh, Anthony turned back to look at Stanley in the backseat and muttered, "Boss, she said that she won't leave until she wins back all the money that she lost."

Stanley's handsome face darkened. "She's still gambling! How dare she!"

Then, he took Anthony's phone and called Sharon in person.

"I said I'm not going down now. You guys go ahead. I must win back all my money!"

Sharon didn't dare to call Charles' name out loud, for she was afraid that her colleagues would hear something fishy.

After she roared, there was one to two seconds of silence on the phone until Stanley's deep voice resonated, 'Til give you a minute. If you don't come down, you'll suffer the consequences!"

Sharon was shocked when the cold voice echoed into her ear.

S-Stanley!

He actually called her in person. That was really scary!

But she was reluctant to leave as she was in the middle of the gamble. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Stanley warned again in a monotonous voice, "Are you sure you don't want to come down?"

Having been together for a year, she was able to figure out, at the right time, the kind of tone he spoke when he was on the verge of losing his temper.

Like, right now.

Sharon's hands trembled with frustration. "But I don't want to go back..."

"Fifty seconds."

The cold male voice interrupted her, and then the busy tone from the phone.

Sharon's lips twitched and she was screaming inside her. How could he be such a jerk!

Gritting her teeth, she hesitated for a long while before finally compromising to his request.

"Fine, he is rich; he wins!" Sharon rolled her eyes and thought.

However, she was on the fifth floor. How could she get down there in a minute?

She didn't dare to delay though. She threw away the cards in her hand and got up to leave. Her colleague was calling after her which she ignored, pretending that she didn't hearthem.

Inside the Hummer.

This car was particularly eye- catching because of its aggressive appearance. There were a lot of pedestrians passing by since there was a shopping mall nearby, so they kept looking at the car.

The traffic policeman, who was maintaining the traffic not far away, glanced at them several times as if he wanted to urge them not to park there, but when he saw the unique and exclusive license plate, he could only turn a blind eye and ignore them.

After all, some people's cars could not be commanded by them at will.

Donning a cold face, Stanley raised his wrist to check his watch from time to time. Anthony glanced at him through the rearview mirror and couldn't help saying, "Boss, one minute is too short. Madam will definitely not be able to get down in time."

Stanley's impatient eyes swept toward him. "Did I ever tell you that you talk too much?"

"Yes."

Anthony kept his mouth shut and said nothing anymore.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful figure running towards them. He took a closer look and tapped on the glass, to which Stanley glared at him and said, "If you have something to say, say it!"

Charles felt wronged. Stanley just chided him for having too much to say, but now he asked him to talk. As he pointed at his lips with an aggrieved expression, Stanley frowned impatiently and said, "You can talk now!"

Anthony raised his hand and pointed outside. "It's Madam."
