Lord Protector Novel

Zeke shook his head. “I don’t.”

Sharon gritted her teeth. “Okay. I hereby declare you’re fired. Get lost. Now!”

She left instantaneously after she spoke.

Her loud voice attracted the attention of nearby employees as they turned to look in Sharon’s direction.

The employees were confused. “Who is this woman? Does anyone know her? She’s not Linton Group’s employee.”

“An outsider like her just fired our company’s boss. That’s so damn cool.”

Zeke waved his hand at his employees as a gesture for them to continue with their work and ignore Sharon.

So, everyone focused on their work again.

Sharon found the president’s office swiftly.

She knocked lightly on the door.

Lacey’s voice was heard from within the room, “Come in.”

Sharon hurriedly entered the office.

Lacey was stunned when she saw a stranger walking through the door. “You are...”

Sharon introduced herself immediately, “Hello, Ms. Hinton. I am a long-time admirer of yours, and I am here to visit you. I am the president of Tango Entertainment Corporation. The reason behind my visit is to interview you as well as to discuss a collaboration with you.”

Lacey asked, “Are you a reporter? How did you get in?”

She had specifically reminded the company’s staff to prohibit any reporter from entering the building.

Sharon pleaded with Lacey at once, “Let me be frank with you, Ms. Hinton. This interview will decide the fate of my company’s survival. I established this company from scratch and used almost 10 years to achieve what I have today. I do not wish for all my effort to go to waste. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you’re willing to help me this time.”

Lacey’s heart softened. “You started your business from scratch too?”

Sharon nodded. “That’s right. I heard Ms. Hinton founded this company from a mere steel mill. There must be a lot in common between us.”

Lacey responded, “Okay then. I will accept your interview.”

“Thank you.” Sharon’s poker face finally bloomed into a smile.

She took out her notepad and equipment to begin her interview right away.

At that moment, Zeke pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Lacey was about to greet Zeke. But she did not expect Sharon to spring out of the chair first. “Get out! Who gave you the permission to come in here?”

Sharon was mad. This ba****d is so annoying. He chased me all the way here. All my effort will be for naught if he says I am Zeke Williams’s wife in front of Ms. Hinton. I must get rid of him.

Lacey asked curiously, “Are the two of you acquainted with one another, Ms. Edward?”

Sharon nodded. “Yes. I know him. He... he’s actually one of my admirers. He’s a little dim-witted and spouts nonsense all the time. Please forgive him, Ms. Hinton.”

Lacey was taken aback. Then she laughed out loud while clutching her stomach. “Haha! I can tell he’s dim-witted. So, tell me. How did you pursue Ms. Edward?”

Zeke rolled his eyes at Lacey in frustration. “How did I pursue her? I pursued her by car. Anyway, aren’t you being too generous, Lacey? How can you be laughing when someone just told you I am cheating behind your back?”

Lacey could not stop her laughter. “I am too kind to allow you to stay by my side as a kept-man. Ms. Edward is a strong and independent woman. She’ll never fall for someone like you.”

Lacey gave her full trust to Zeke ever since the ‘snowfall in June’ incident. She did not believe Zeke was pursuing Sharon.

Zeke sat in the boss’ seat helplessly and crossed his legs on the tabletop. “Ah. Why is it so difficult for me to have a scandal? Anyway, it is important to uphold integrity as a person, especially when doing business, Ms. Edward. You promised to introduce me as my own driver previously. It is time for you to live up to your word.”
