Chapter 378 What Was She Secretly Hoping For?
Ariana wasn't planning to go solo; she wanted to bring Sharon along. After Ariana filled Sharon in on what went down last night, Sharon's face turned dark.
"Why didn't you tell me last night? Did you call the cops?"
Ariana nodded, "Yeah, I did. The police are on it now."
Ariana's eyes lost their spark. Any residual hope she harbored for Garth and Blanca had dissipated completely. She was ready to cut ties for good.
If the cops found out that Garth and Blanca were behind the attempt to drug and kidnap her, Blanca wouldn't let it slide.
Seeing the determination in Ariana's eyes, Sharon felt a pang of heartache. She grabbed Ariana's hand and said, "Alright, I'll go with you tonight. Mr. Marshall saved your life; it's only right to treat him to dinner."
"Sharon, thank you."
Sharon sighed and said seriously, "If something like this happens again, you have to tell me right away."
Ariana's eyes softened, "Sharon, thank you!"
"Alright, enough with the thanks. Go take a nap."
"Okay."
After Ariana left, Sharon picked up her phone. After hesitating for a while, she sent a message to Seb, hoping he could help find out who tried to drug and kidnap Ariana.
It took over ten minutes for Seb to reply.
Seb: [Sharon, I need payment for helping you.]
Sharon bit her lip and typed back: [What kind of payment do you want?]
Seb: [Let me think. How about you cook me a meal this weekend?]
Seeing this, Sharon felt relieved. Luckily, it wasn't a tough condition.
But at the same time, she felt a bit disappointed. Was she secretly expecting something else?
Sharon didn't dwell on it and took a deep breath before replying: [Okay].
There was no further reply, probably because Seb was busy. Sharon put down her phone and took a nap at her desk.
The afternoon flew by, and soon it was time to clock out.
Kirk came to find Ariana and said, "I brought my car. You can come with me tonight, and I'll drive you back after dinner."
"Mr. Marshall, I want to invite Sharon to dinner as well. You don't mind, do you?"
Kirk frowned but quickly smiled, "Not at all. You both can come with me."
Ariana looked at Sharon beside her, "Sharon, do you want to go with Mr. Marshall, or what?"
Sharon smiled, "Sure, that would be great, Mr. Marshall."
"It's my pleasure. Since your experiment is over, let's go now," Kirk said.
"Alright," Sharon replied.
As Kirk turned around, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a cold, chilling expression.
Sharon sent a message to Seb, saying she would be having dinner with Ariana tonight and wouldn't come back with him. The response didn't come immediately, no doubt due to Seb being tied up in another one of his endless meetings.
Sharon put her phone in her bag, and she and Ariana followed Kirk to the car.
Since it was rush hour, they got to the restaurant around 7 o'clock.
After they sat down and ordered, Sharon got a message from Seb, saying he had a social event tonight and asked her to send him the address so he could send his driver to pick her up after dinner.
Sharon lowered her head to type. Just as she was halfway through, Ariana tugged at her sleeve.
"Sharon, look outside. Isn't that Mr. Smith? Who's that woman next to him? They seem pretty close."
Sharon looked out the window and saw Seb and that woman walking side by side. Her grip on her phone tightened instinctively.
