Mr Winston paused as he heard the popular street. Isn’t that where Madon’s company is located making the street really popular?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Then dispatch your men to look for her immediately. Once you find her, don’t let her go. Just bring her here to me. I need to teach that little snitch a lesson about family values,” Mr Winston said to the phone with a spiteful look.
“Yes sir, we understand sir,” the man answered quickly and cut the call. Mr Winston stared into space as he thought of something. I don’t know what it is.
“Sir… Sir… Are you there sir? We already got her location,”the man spoke into the phone clearing the remaining traces of sleep in Aiden’s eyes. He immediately sat up on the bed and gripped the phone tightly.
“What location?,” he asked the man. “Sir, it is about the lady you asked us to trace. We found her location. She is currently in Allen’s avenue. Somewhere close to Madon’s company,” the man answered his boss.
Aiden thought of it. Did she going there to search for a job? Where has she been all this while? Aiden sighed and he cut the call immediately without a thank you gesture.
He stood up and picked up his car. Where she might have been all this time and what she went to Allen’s avenue to do doesn’t matter?
No matter what, when he finally sees her, he’ll apologise and explain to her. Once she agrees to stay, he will make sure to hold on tight to her this time and never let go.
Sharon still loves him so she will be happy and supportive cause it’s still better to be with her than getting married to that witch incarnate, Sheila.
He walked out and refused to take a driver with him. He left with such a great speed that the car left a trail of dust behind.

“Welcome sir,” a chubby looking old man hurriedly walked forward as he scaled through the staffs to get to where Jasper is standing.
Sharon frowned because the man looks so dirty and old. Who the heck is this? His stomach is so big that even his shirt can’t button up again.
Jasper looked at him coldly. Just few days in charge and he has grown a big potbelly like this. What has he been doing with the company money?
The manager noticed Jasper’s cold look and visibly shook. Did the boss somehow discover what he has been doing these days? No, that’s not true. He made sure to give all the workers cash to keep their mouths shut even if it’s peanuts.
Such a fool! He doesn’t know one of alies rattled him out. Jasper steered his wheelchair to the manager and whispered something only the manager could hear.
Sharon looked at him curiously, somehow surprised to see how cold he looks. She has only ever seen him like this on TV. She never expected she will still see him like this.
Cause he looks completely different from how he behaves at home. Even the staffs looked at them trying to strain their ears. The manager’s eyes widened in fear as he gulped. Yup! The boss definitely found out.
What Jasper actually said was,”How should I punish you?” The manager knows that when he says that, it shows that he means business.
“Sir, what are you talking about? I don’t understand sir,” the manager tried to act oblivious. Jasper rested his chin on his hand and gave the manager his infamous one sided smirk.
“What you just said has doubled the punishment you are supposed to receive. Now answer, how should I punish you?,” Jasper asked again, the anger showing on his face.
The manager lost it and hurriedly bent down before he held Jasper’s legs. He cried out,”Please boss!!! I’m sorry. Give me one more chance. I won’t misuse it again.”
Now Sharon is definitely curious. All the staffs didn’t even have the luxury to notice her as they focused on Jasper, everyone wondering what he said.
“You are fired,” Jasper said loud enough for everyone to hear as he can feel how nervous people are to know what is going on. The manager surprised everyone by falling down on the floor with a loud thud.
He cried loudly and rolled on the floor not minding his reputation, that is if he even has one. Even Tia stopped whining as she tried to focus on where the noise is coming from.
Sharon rolled her eyes. What the f**k is wrong with this old, potbellied man? Wasn’t he just sacked so why is he crying on the floor like a baby?
That was the same thing everyone were thinking. But only the manager knows that he wasn’t just sacked, he was also practically blacklisted from getting any other profitable and good job. Jasper will probably pull a string with his connections and make sure the manager gets punished for what he has done.
It will be like attack from the secret but no one will know it’s all Jasper’s doing cause to everyone right now he only sacked him.
The manager rolled forward to touch Jasper’s legs and beg for forgiveness but Jasper shunned him,”Don’t you dare touch my feets! You don’t deserve the right to do so. Now leave before something I increase your punishment.”
Immediately he said that the man quickly stood up, dusted his clothes and abruptly walked out of the place without making any annoying sounds. Everyone looked at him surprised that isn’t this the man that was just wailing now? Why does he look quiet now?
One of Jasper’s bodyguards already walked out to follow that manager without anyone even noticing. If that b*stard thinks he will escape then he must be dreaming.
Jasper steered his wheelchair forward, his bodyguards and Sharon followed him. Jasper watched all the staffs bowed and said in a loud and clear voice,” I’m glad to be back. Today I’ll be dismissing the staffs I don’t need anymore and I’ll be promoting others ”
The ones that already knows that the possibility of them getting sacked Is high began to weep silently in their heart. With that Jasper walked into his golden elevator. His bodyguards choose a separate one so Sharon could stay with Jasper.
“Did you see the lady behind the boss right now? She was carrying a baby. Who do you think she is,” one of the staffs told her colleague. Of course it’s her cause guys don’t like to gossip like girls.
Her colleague glared at her and said,”If you are dismissed today, will you still have time to be gossiping about another lady?”
The woman hissed and walked to her own desk.
“Wow, it’s so cool,” Sharon said as she looked around the elevator. She stared her reflection in the golden walls of the elevator. She looked around and couldn’t help but gasp again.
All these will cause a hefty amount of cash if Sharon is right. The reality hit her hard as she thought of how wealthy Jasper must be.
The elevator made a ding sound and they made their way out. They are at the top floor now. All the staffs here also stopped as they looked at them.
Unlike the staffs downstairs, these ones didn’t bow. They only smiled and greeted Jasper politely as they stared at Sharon and Tia curiously wondering who the strange woman is.
Sharon momentarily felt shy as their attention and gazes focused on her but she refused to bow and chose to stare back at them instead.
“Is she our CEO’s wife?”
“Is the baby his son or daughter?”
“When did CEO get married?”
And many many more gossip followed as Jasper and Sharon passed by. Sharon breathed a sigh oí relief as they finally got into Jasper’s office.
She gasped in amazement as she loosened the baby carrier. She couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty of his office. Is he sure this is just a office? It even has baby things. Has he been planning for them to come for a long time.
What she didn’t know was that Jasper actually bought all these overnight. He wanted to make them comfortable. Sharon dropped Tia on a soft baby mat and gave her all the toys she saw.
As soon as the baby started playing, Sharon faced Jasper with a kind of questioning look so he asked,”What is it?”
” You promised me something. Have you forgotten what you told me?,” she told him and he chuckled as he remembered promising her chocolate. He called one of his bodyguards in and Sharon was almost dancing until they handed over a nylon to her. She peered inside and glared at Jasper.
