Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)

At the back door of the university.

Holding her phone, Sharon looked around like a thief, just in case she ran into someone she knew. Fortunately, her university was big and not everyone knew her.

When she didn't see the person she wanted to meet, Sharon dialed the number on her log. After a while, the call was answered and a cold female voice sounded, "Hello."

Sharon paused and said, "Miss Russell, I am at the gate now but I didn't see you."

Yes, it was Jewel Russell.

Ten minutes ago, she thought she had received a phone call from the company where she applied for a job, but it turned out to be Jewel's voice from the other end of the line. She was surprised, but she dared not express it.

She didn't want Melody to know that it was Jewel who called her.

As an ordinary college student, how could she possibly know the popular actress? How could she explain herself to Melody? Therefore, she lied, saying that the company had asked her to go for an interview so that she could sneak out to meet Jewel. "There is a cafe on the left street from your school. I am in the private room on the second floor. You can come to me directly."

After Jewel finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Sharon had no choice but to go to the aforementioned cafe.

As expected, as soon as she went up to the second floor of the cafe, she bumped into a display of grandeur. A bodyguard in black stood at the entrance of the stairs to the empty second floor. Apparently, Jewe had booked the whole place.

The bodyguard stopped her, and a serene female voice came from behind, "Let her in."

The bodyguards stepped to the side to make way. Sharon walked over and saw Jewel sitting on the sofa, looking straight at her.

Sharon came to Jewel and sized her up. Jewel was very beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was on TV. She had a great body too with a curvy and slim figure; it was definitely the body type that men liked.

So, Stanley liked this type of woman.

"Miss Cruz, you keep your words. You really came."

Jewel said while withdrawing her gaze.

Sharon put on a fake smile. "Miss Russell, you threatened me on the phone, saying that if I didn't come, you would call the school leaders and tell them that my personal life was in disarray. How dare I not come?"

Initially, Sharon didn't want to meet Jewel when she received the call, but Jewel saw her hesitation and threatened her that if Sharon didn't come, she would expose her relationship with Stanley. Jewel's threat worked as Sharon was afraid that others would know about her relationship with Stanley.

Jewel smiled charmingly. "I pushed off my work today and came to you with sincerity. I was afraid that you didn't want to see me, so I said those unkind words off the top of my head, but I didn't mean any of it. I hope that you won't misunderstand me."

"Miss Russel, what do you want from me? Can you tell me now?" Sharon felt that the explanation was unnecessary and cut to the chase.

Jewel pointed to the chair opposite her. "Sit down, Miss Cruz."

Sharon frowned, hesitating for a moment before finally sitting down.

"Miss Cruz, what would you like to drink?"

"No thanks. I'm not thirsty."

Jewel smiled faintly. "Ok then. I won't beat around the bush. Do you know why I asked you to come today?"

Sharon shrugged. "To be honest, I don't know."

Looking down to hide the coldness and impatience in her eyes, Jewel picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip of water before saying, "Do you know Stanley Jones?" Sharon shook her head. "No, I don't."

Jewel frowned. "It's no fun pretending to know nothing any longer. Let's be frank and straightforward. I believe that you have already known about our relationship on the major news and TV. I have been secretly dating Stanley, but it's never been made public. I don't care how you hooked up with him, but I only have one thing to say to you today: leave him."
