Chapter 352
Sharonâs heart skipped a beat when she got a good look at the man
There
was only one thought in her mind. âOh no!â
Alanna also paled intensely. She seemed to have gotten Sharon into quite a bit of trouble.
âMr. Greenwood,â Sarah greeted the man first
Standing in the doorway was none other than Edric.
He was dressed more formally than usual, though his collar was loose and revealed a chain, giving him a slightly foppish appearance
âMs. Peay, Liam,â Edric greeted them.
After the greeting, his eyes swept lazily over the room.
âMr. Greenwood, Alanna called cheerfully as she stepped forward to block Sharon.
Normally, Alanna despised rich people like Edric, who was mean and had a temper but couldnât do much else.
Yet, to keep him from noticing Sharon, she resorted to even the most disdainful tactics that she didnât like, trying to please him with a smile. Edric grunted dismissively.
Though he was himself useless, he looked down on Alanna, who had started out as a influencer.
Alanna didnât care about his disdain, but she was most worried about Sharon
If Edric recognized her, there would be trouble:
âHow could I find an excuse to let her go now? Alanna wondered.
Edric quickly noticed someone hiding behind Alanna.
People were always curious, and when he saw someone hiding, he couldnât help but look over.
âOh, this is the owner of Bisney Entertainment, Mr. Cress, Sarah introduced, her voice cold and clear, giving people a feeling that she wasnât easy to get along with.
âMr. Greenwood,â Sharon greeted as she stepped out.
She knew in her heart that there was no hiding
Hiding would only draw his suspicion, so it was better to come forward confidently.
Facing Alannaâs concern, she shook her head slightly.
Edric was curious about who the owner of Bisney Entertainment was and followed to look.
He visibly stiffened when he saw Sharonâs face.
âWhat? You two know each other? Sarah asked, keenly catching the change in Edricâs expression.
Edric narrowed his eyes.
Alanna looked over at Edric, her hands sweaty, her head buzzing, feeling extremely nervous
She turned to look at Sharon again, on the verge of tears.
However, with a calm face, Sharon looked straight at Edric.
This chickâs⦠got a lot of guts! Edric thought.
âI donât know him,â Edric said, averting his eyes.
Though he was suspicious, Sharonâs calm demeanor made Edrir think than a

Sharonâs ploy had managed to fool Edric, and Alannaâs heart, which had been knotted with tension, loosened, and she felt that her blood flowed freely again.
She was almost scared to death and couldnât help but cover her chest with her hand.
âWhat are we standing around for? Might as well sit down and talk,â she said, seizing the opportunity to take control of the conversation,
They then sat down.
Edric, who had a very high opinion of himself, didnât give Sharon, who was dressed as a man, a second glance.
Sharon remained completely calm.
Alanna watched from the sidelines, secretly giving Sharon a thumbs up under the table.
âYou didnât invite him?â Sarah asked Edric.
ly asked Mr.
Liam, on the other hand, politely explained to Sharon and Alanna, âMs. Peay and I are both kind of amateurs, so we especially Greenwood to bring a trusted friend to help us keep an eye on things.â
âUnderstood,â Sharon replied politely.
Wearing menâs clothing brought out her snowâwhite skin and made her look not only pretty but also like a gentleman, and she spoke with considerable authority.
She lowered her head, and her pupils narrowed when Liam didnât notice it.
Who could Edricâs trusted friend be
Liam didnât wait for her to ask and took the initiative to introduce the person. âSpeaking of this friend, he is truly remarkable, having achieved extraordinary results at a young age. Even if I live ten years longer than him, I wonât be as successful as he is.â
As he finished speaking, the door was pushed open again.
âSorry to be late. As the voice fell, Sharon saw a long, elegant wrist land on the doorknob, followed by the person.
At the sight of the watch on the personâs wrist, Sharonâs head buzzed with alarm, and she met a pair of eyes unannounced
The pupils of those eyes contracted noticeably when they saw her face. The person narrowed his eyes.
It was Edwin.
He recognized her.
In just a second, Sharon came to a conclusion.
âEdwin, youâre finally hereâ Liam was the first to speak, standing up to greet him. âI thought I wouldnât be able to see you here.â
âHow could it be?â Edwin said, withdrawing his gaze from Sharon and smiling politely at Liam. âShawn and I have been friends for years, and youâre Shawnâs brother, so naturally, I had to come.â
Liam chuckled, âShawn hasnât been reliable since he had the baby. I asked him where you were, and he told me that he didnât know. I finally had to find you through Mr. Greenwood.â
Sharon sat quietly on the side, and her nerves were highâstrung.
She just came here with Alanna to talk about business, but she had never thought that she would met Edric and Edwin here.
It was totally a bad day for her, right?
âThis is Mr. Cress, the owner of the famous.
s Bisney B
Entertainment,â Liam said, quickly returning to make another introduction after greeting Edwin
Sharonâs mind was in turmoil, but she stood up and said. âMr. Stanley, nice to meet you.â
my honor
Edwinâs gaze slid meaningfully over her. âItâs really my
to meet the clusive boss of Bisney Entertainment
His words made sharonâs heart skip a beat, fearing he would reveal her disguise as a man.
After saying that, Edwin extended his hand toward her.
Chapter 352
Sharon was speechless.
Even Liam looked surprised after seeing that.
Edwin was known to be aloof in the business world, and not just anyone was qualified to shake his hand.
The owner of Bisney Entertainment was indeed famous and capable but still a relatively young newcomer.
No matter what, he was not qualified to receive Edwinâs favor
Sharon wanted to ignore the gesture, but with Liam and the others watching, and Edwinâs hand still extended, she couldnât avoid it
If she didnât do anything, people would inevitably make wild guesses.
Reluctantly, she reached out and quickly touched Edwinâs hand.
His palm was dry and warm.
After shaking her hand, Edwin didnât do anything else. The people all sat down, and the meeting began.
It was more of a negotiation than a meeting.
Alanna, an expert in this field, led the discussion while Sharon sat quietly on the sidelines.
âLetâs take a short break, Edwin said halfway through the conversation.
Liam, wiping his forehead, responded, âOkay.â
He glanced at Alanna with admiration, impressed by many times she had almost silenced him with her sharp responses during the meeting.
Sarah cast a cold glance at Alanna before looking away
Alanna stood up and winked at Sharon.
Sharon stood with her. âExcuse me, she said pohtely, nodding to the crowd before walking out.
âOh my, itâs so good that Edwin didnât recognize you, or there may be a problem, Alanna sighed when they were alone.
Sharon looked at Alanna in silence, deciding not to rell Alanna that Edwin had actually recognized her
âDoes that Ms. Peay know you!â Sharon asked, noticing how strangely Sarah had looked at Alanna
âNo,â Alanna said lightly, patting Sharon on the shoulder. âYou can leave if it bothers you. You donât have to wait for the resultsâ
Sharon didnât want to stay inside either. âFine.â
When Alanna left, Sharon headed toward the exit.
As she pressed the elevator button, a dark shadow suddenly loomed over her.
