Chapter 143 Am I That Shameful?
Sharon looked down. "Okay."
As they got close to the company, Sharon had Seb drop her off at the corner.
Seb frowned. "Am I that embarrassing?"
"No, I just divorced Alex. If people see us together, it might cause problems for you."
"I don't care."
"But I do. I need time to adjust to our relationship. Can we keep it a secret for now?"
Sharon looked at Seb, hopeful and cautious.
Seb covered her eyes, his voice low. "Fine, but I want a little reward."
Sharon was surprised. "What kind of reward?"
Her eyelashes brushed against Seb's palm, tickling him.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her.
Sharon stiffened, wanting to escape.
She backed into the car door, trapped. She couldn't resist his kiss.
After what felt like forever, Seb let her go.
Sharon was panting, her cheeks red.
She glared at Seb, a mix of anger and shyness.
Seb's eyes darkened. "Are you really gonna stare at me like that?"
His eyes narrowed, dangerous.
Sharon calmed down. "You don't need to wait for me tonight. I'll come back on my own."
"Okay."
"I'm getting out."
Seeing her avoid his gaze, Seb chuckled. "You don't have to get out if you don't want to. Consider it my loss earlier."
Sharon was speechless.
She quickly opened the door and got out, walking into the crowd without looking back.
Watching her slightly angry figure, Seb's smile deepened.
As Sharon arrived at the company, Seb saw someone at the entrance.
"Stop the car."
Seb didn't get out. He just looked at Alex coldly.
Alex hadn't noticed Seb. He was searching the crowd for Sharon.
When he saw her, Alex rushed forward to block her.
"Sharon!"
Sharon was startled and stepped back.
Facing Alex's intense gaze, Sharon frowned, cautious.
"What are you doing here?"
Her wary look made Alex laugh coldly.
Because Sharon had exposed his marriage to Ava, he had been slapped twice by Tyler last night, and Clara was extremely disappointed in him.
"Now you're scared? Why weren't you scared when you leaked the news about my marriage to Ava?"
Alex's eyes were bloodshot, filled with disgust and hatred for Sharon.
If he hadn't fallen for Sharon back then, he wouldn't be in this mess now!
Alex cursed inwardly, 'It's all her fault!'
"Didn't you also have someone ransack my house?"
"If I didn't, how would I know if you had any backups to threaten me with later?"
Alex spoke with righteous indignation, showing no shame.
Sharon was at a loss for words.
She now wondered if she had been blind before, not seeing what a weirdo Alex was.
Not wanting to waste time, Sharon bypassed him and walked away.
Alex grabbed her, gritting his teeth. "Sharon, after what you've done to me, you think you can just walk away?"
Just as Sharon was about to shake off Alex, a cold voice sounded behind them.
"Let her go!"
Alex and Sharon turned to look at Seb.
Sharon was surprised. 'Isn't Seb supposed to be at the company by now?'
Alex sneered, "Uncle Seb, this is between Sharon and me. Do you have to interfere?"
Seb's gaze was icy. "She's my girlfriend now."
"What?"
Alex looked like he’d heard the funniest joke, glancing between Seb and Sharon.
"So that's why you rushed to divorce me. You hooked up with Seb. Sharon, you're no better than those sluts out there."
Sharon slapped Alex, drawing everyone's attention.
Alex had never felt so humiliated. His eyes blazed with fury as he reached out to strangle Sharon.
But before he could touch her, Seb kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Seb held Sharon close, looking down at Alex. "She's my girlfriend, your would-be aunt. Watch your mouth, or it won't just be a kick next time."
Hearing "would-be aunt," Alex's face turned livid.
"Uncle Seb, Grandpa and Grandma will never allow you to marry a divorced woman. Being with her will only make you a joke in Metropolis!"
The more Alex spoke, the smugger he looked.
Tyler and Sandra were always so biased towards Seb, carefully selecting women for him. Who would've thought Seb would end up with Sharon!
"Just take care of yourself. Do you think marrying Ava will give you a chance to inherit the Smith group?"
Alex's expression froze, his hands clenched into fists.
If Sharon hadn't exposed this, Tyler wouldn't have been so disappointed in him.
Thinking of this, Alex wanted to strangle Sharon on the spot.
The more he had loved Sharon, the more he hated her now.
"Uncle Seb, just wait and see. You'll regret this!"
Seb didn't look at Alex again. He took Sharon's hand and left.
Sharon tried to pull away but failed.
"Everyone's watching. Let go of me!"
Noticing the shocked gazes around them, Sharon wished she could just hide.
She had planned to keep their relationship a secret, but now everyone knew on the first day.
"What are you afraid of? The company's not full of idiots. After what just happened, do you think you can keep this a secret?"
Sharon thought about it and stopped struggling.
After taking Sharon to the entrance of the lab, Seb looked down at her, "Come to my office at noon."
"For what?"
"To have lunch together."
Seeing Sharon's reluctance, Seb raised an eyebrow. "I just walked you here. Many people saw us. Do you want to be the center of a circus in the cafeteria?"
Sharon bit her lip. "I can order takeout."
"That's unhealthy. I'll come down to eat with you, or you can come to my office. Your choice."
Seb's eyes were filled with authority, giving Sharon no room to refuse.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Sharon had to compromise. "I'll go to your office."
After Seb left, Sharon sighed. As she turned around, she saw Ashley standing behind her, looking at her with shock and admiration.
"Sharon, you're really with Mr. Smith! I saw the gossip in the company group chat earlier and thought it was a misunderstanding."
Sharon had been married to Alex and was now with Seb. She would certainly be the talk of gossip.
Sharon could imagine what people would say about her.
But she had mentally prepared herself when she decided to be with Seb. It was just happening sooner than expected.
"Let's get to work."
Ashley wanted to gossip but seeing Sharon's reluctance to talk, she suppressed her curiosity.
The news of their relationship quickly reached Tyler and Sandra.
Sandra was so angry she fainted, while Tyler called Seb, demanding he come home immediately.
Seb's expression was cold. "Dad, if this is about me and Sharon, then there's no need..."
Tyler interrupted angrily, "You either come home, or I go to Silvercrest Group to find Sharon. It's up to you!"
