Dumping 352
Sharon's heart skipped a beat when she got a good look at the man
There
was only one thought in her mind. "Oh no!"
Alanna also paled intensely. She seemed to have gotten Sharon into quite a bit of trouble.
"Mr. Greenwood," Sarah greeted the man first
Standing in the doorway was none other than Edric.
He was dressed more formally than usual, though his collar was loose and revealed a chain, giving him a slightly foppish appearance
"Ms. Peay, Liam," Edric greeted them.
After the greeting, his eyes swept lazily over the room.
"Mr. Greenwood, Alanna called cheerfully as she stepped forward to block Sharon.
Normally, Alanna despised rich people like Edric, who was mean and had a temper but couldn't do much else.
Yet, to keep him from noticing Sharon, she resorted to even the most disdainful tactics that she didn't like, trying to please him with a smile. Edric grunted dismissively. Though he was himself useless, he looked down on Alanna, who had started out as a influencer.
Alanna didn't care about his disdain, but she was most worried about Sharon
If Edric recognized her, there would be trouble:
"How could I find an excuse to let her go now? Alanna wondered.
Edric quickly noticed someone hiding behind Alanna.
People were always curious, and when he saw someone hiding, he couldn't help but look over.
"Oh, this is the owner of Bisney Entertainment, Mr. Cress, Sarah introduced, her voice cold and clear, giving people a feeling that she wasn't easy to get along with. "Mr. Greenwood," Sharon greeted as she stepped out.
She knew in her heart that there was no hiding
Hiding would only draw his suspicion, so it was better to come forward confidently.
Facing Alanna's concern, she shook her head slightly.
Edric was curious about who the owner of Bisney Entertainment was and followed to look.
He visibly stiffened when he saw Sharon's face.
"What? You two know each other? Sarah asked, keenly catching the change in Edric's expression.
Edric narrowed his eyes.
Alanna looked over at Edric, her hands sweaty, her head buzzing, feeling extremely nervous
She turned to look at Sharon again, on the verge of tears.
However, with a calm face, Sharon looked straight at Edric.
This chick's... got a lot of guts! Edric thought.
"I don't know him," Edric said, averting his eyes.
Though he was suspicious, Sharon's calm demeanor made Edrir think than a

Sharon's ploy had managed to fool Edric, and Alanna's heart, which had been knotted with tension, loosened, and she felt that her blood flowed freely again.
She was almost scared to death and couldn't help but cover her chest with her hand.
"What are we standing around for? Might as well sit down and talk," she said, seizing the opportunity to take control of the conversation,
They then sat down.
Edric, who had a very high opinion of himself, didn't give Sharon, who was dressed as a man, a second glance.
Sharon remained completely calm.
Alanna watched from the sidelines, secretly giving Sharon a thumbs up under the table.
"You didn't invite him?" Sarah asked Edric.
ly asked Mr.
Liam, on the other hand, politely explained to Sharon and Alanna, "Ms. Peay and I are both kind of amateurs, so we especially Greenwood to bring a trusted friend to help us keep an eye on things." "Understood," Sharon replied politely.
Wearing men's clothing brought out her snow-white skin and made her look not only pretty but also like a gentleman, and she spoke with considerable authority.
She lowered her head, and her pupils narrowed when Liam didn't notice it.
Who could Edric's trusted friend be
Liam didn't wait for her to ask and took the initiative to introduce the person. "Speaking of this friend, he is truly remarkable, having achieved extraordinary results at a young age. Even if I live ten years longer than him, I won't be as successful as he is."
As he finished speaking, the door was pushed open again.
"Sorry to be late. As the voice fell, Sharon saw a long, elegant wrist land on the doorknob, followed by the person.
At the sight of the watch on the person's wrist, Sharon's head buzzed with alarm, and she met a pair of eyes unannounced
The pupils of those eyes contracted noticeably when they saw her face. The person narrowed his eyes.
It was Edwin.
He recognized her.
In just a second, Sharon came to a conclusion.
"Edwin, you're finally here" Liam was the first to speak, standing up to greet him. "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you here."
"How could it be?" Edwin said, withdrawing his gaze from Sharon and smiling politely at Liam. "Shawn and I have been friends for years, and you're Shawn's brother, so naturally, I had to come."
Liam chuckled, "Shawn hasn't been reliable since he had the baby. I asked him where you were, and he told me that he didn't know. I finally had to find you through Mr. Greenwood." Sharon sat quietly on the side, and her nerves were high-strung.
She just came here with Alanna to talk about business, but she had never thought that she would met Edric and Edwin here.
It was totally a bad day for her, right?
"This is Mr. Cress, the owner of the famous.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Entertainment," Liam said, quickly returning to make another introduction after greeting Edwin
Sharon's mind was in turmoil, but she stood up and said. "Mr. Stanley, nice to meet you."

Edwin's gaze slid meaningfully over her. "It's really my
to meet the clusive boss of Bisney Entertainment
His words made sharon's heart skip a beat, fearing he would reveal her disguise as a man.
After saying that, Edwin extended his hand toward her.
Sharon was speechless.
Even Liam looked surprised after seeing that.
Edwin was known to be aloof in the business world, and not just anyone was qualified to shake his hand.
The owner of Bisney Entertainment was indeed famous and capable but still a relatively young newcomer.
No matter what, he was not qualified to receive Edwin's favor
Sharon wanted to ignore the gesture, but with Liam and the others watching, and Edwin's hand still extended, she couldn't avoid it
If she didn't do anything, people would inevitably make wild guesses.
Reluctantly, she reached out and quickly touched Edwin's hand.
His palm was dry and warm.
After shaking her hand, Edwin didn't do anything else. The people all sat down, and the meeting began.
It was more of a negotiation than a meeting.
Alanna, an expert in this field, led the discussion while Sharon sat quietly on the sidelines.
"Let's take a short break, Edwin said halfway through the conversation.
Liam, wiping his forehead, responded, "Okay."
He glanced at Alanna with admiration, impressed by many times she had almost silenced him with her sharp responses during the meeting.
Sarah cast a cold glance at Alanna before looking away
Alanna stood up and winked at Sharon.
Sharon stood with her. "Excuse me, she said pohtely, nodding to the crowd before walking out.
"Oh my, it's so good that Edwin didn't recognize you, or there may be a problem, Alanna sighed when they were alone.
Sharon looked at Alanna in silence, deciding not to rell Alanna that Edwin had actually recognized her
"Does that Ms. Peay know you!" Sharon asked, noticing how strangely Sarah had looked at Alanna
"No," Alanna said lightly, patting Sharon on the shoulder. "You can leave if it bothers you. You don't have to wait for the results"
Sharon didn't want to stay inside either. "Fine."
When Alanna left, Sharon headed toward the exit.
As she pressed the elevator button, a dark shadow suddenly loomed over her.
