Watch Out, CEO Daddy!

Chapter 5



Simon walked into the president's office as Franky followed him from behind.noveldrama

"President Zachary, I've already gotten information about the lady you asked me to look up," said Franky.

Simon merely sat down. He frowned slightly when he heard it. "Spit it out."

Franky took out an investigation report. "The lady's name is Sharon. Five years ago, she left Northern City and went to M Country to further her studies. One year ago, she was awarded an award for international interior design. Coincidentally... she has applied to be a designer in our company."

Simon held onto his lips and did not say a word. 'So it means that I'm now her superior?'

Five years ago, she left Northern City...

He recalled the night from five years ago. He had just returned from a foreign country and was ready to take over the Zachary family. During the hand-over ceremony, he had drunk a glass of wine that was drugged. Later on, a lady showed up.

However, upon waking up from his slumber the next day, he realized that the lady was nowhere to be seen. Nevertheless, he noticed that there were bloodstains and a pair of earrings on the bedsheet that belonged to a lady.

He had not managed to see the lady's face clearly, but he remembered the fragrance on her body well.

What Franky was about to say interrupted his thoughts, "One more coincidence, she's your biological nephew's ex-girlfriend."

Simon frowned. "Howard?"

"That's right, I heard that they were about to get married five years ago, but this Sharon ended up betraying your nephew. Hence, the wedding was canceled. I guess she no longer dared to say in Northern City after that and decided to flee to M Country." Franky sighed.

Simon vaguely recalled that his nephew had indeed organized a wedding, but at that time, his sister-in-law had not invited any of the Zachary members to attend the wedding.

"President Zachary, say, do you think she applied for this company for the sake of your nephew?"

Simon remained silent, "If that's so, she has come to the wrong place."

Sharon showed up after reporting herself to the personnel department. She had just arrived at the designing department and managed to meet her new superiors and colleagues. However, she was just about to take her place on her working seat when the secretary from the president's office came over to notify her that president Zachary had summoned her.

Sharon was dumbfounded. 'President Zachary? Is he the man that I bumped into at the airport?'

Before coming to the company, she had not had the time to go through who was the boss of the place. All she knew was that the company was the greatest company in Northern City.

She nodded and then followed the secretary to the president's office.

Sharon knocked on the door. Subsequently, she heard the deep voice of a man from inside. "Come in."

She did not know why, but she felt anxious. A sense of tension developed within her whenever she thought of the man.

She took in a deep breath before she pushed open the door to enter.

A man, whose head was lowered, could be seen at the huge office desk, scanning through documents. His handsome and meticulous facial features were spellbinding even when he was at work.

"Are you looking for me, Mr. President?"

The man raised his eyes and looked at her before saying in a calm tone, "Have a seat."

Sharon felt that his gaze was rather sharp, and it was as if he was examining her in detail. She sat down with a smile on her face, trying to make herself look more natural.

"Sharon Jeans?" The man moved his thin lips and pronounced her name.

"That's me." Only then did she realize that he was holding her resume.

"Why did you apply to Central Corporation?" He blurted the question out of nowhere.

Sharon was shocked. 'Isn't this question supposed to be asked during an interview? Could it be that the boss plans on conducting the interview personally?'

"I need a larger platform to unleash my talents, and Central Corporation can provide me with that chance." She gave him a textbook answer that had no problems in it.

However, the man sitting opposite her was merely watching her meticulously and not in a rush to voice out his thoughts.

After a moment, he looked straight at her and asked, "Are you here because of personal reasons?"

Sharon frowned. "Do you have some sort of misunderstanding against me? Or is it because of the incident that happened at the airport..." Her speech was cut short by a phone that had suddenly begun ringing.

Simon answered the call and listened to what the secretary had to say as he looked at Sharon. Not long after, his eyes began to glitter.

"Let him in." He hung up the call after saying that.

Sharon was still hesitant on whether she should continue with the previous topic when someone suddenly pushed open the office door. She heard the person who had come in say, "Uncle, I've gathered all the pictures you wanted."

Sharon's body stiffened at the sound of the person's voice. It was Howard Zachary!
