In the past few days that Jameson Proctor was gone, Sharon Allyson didn't get back until ten o'clock in the middle of the night almost every day.
As soon as she arrived home, she collapsed on the couch, not wanting to do anything.
She thought she was tired enough when she was in the studio, but she didn't realize that it was nothing compared to run the company.
No wonder Jameson Proctor always said that it made little difference whether or not she went to that tiny yet shabby studio.
At that time she was not happy.
Now it really seemed to be the case.
She was just there dealing with the company's chores instead of real business contracts which were already been taken good care of by Dean Wilson.
Still, she was swamped and exhausted.
Other than that, she had to make time to draw designs every day.
If only she could split herself into seven or eight ones to do those piling on her plate! She would never complain that Jameson Proctor was idle anymore.
No matter how idle he seemed, he could manage the Proctor Group so well and still spare time to hang out with her.
That was definitely no mean feat! The next day, Sharon Allyson had just arrived at the office when Jayden Bower hurried over, "Ms.Allyson, something's wrong."
Sharon Allyson said, "What is it?"
"We were just informed that Master Proctor had an accident.It seems grave"
At that, Sharon Allyson frowned and didn't say anything.
Jayden Bower said, "But the exact situation is still unclear.I've asked someone to check, and before long..."
"No need to check."
Dean Wilson came in from the door, "I got the news that it was Jeffery Proctor who had an accident.Perhaps the outside world is not quite clear if there's another top banana beside Master in the Proctor family.That's the only way they mistook Mr.Proctor to mean Master Proctor”
Jayden Bower froze, seemingly unaware of who Jeffery Proctor was.
Sharon Allyson looked to Dean Wilson, "What's going on, really?"
"I don't know about the details, but we'll have an answer soon.It shouldn't be too serious."
Sharon Allyson said, "What do you mean?"
Dean Wilson sat down in the sofa, "Sir Jameson Proctor just informed all the business celebrities in South City to go to the Proctor family for a dinner party tonight"
Sharon Allyson's frown deepened, "Jeffery Proctor is still injured, and he picked this very time to throw a party?"
"No, no, no."
Dean Wilson said, "Sir Jameson had his reasons.It was far more complicated than you think."
Dean Wilson was just about to continue, when suddenly Jayden Bower, who was still standing in the office, cut in, "Then Ms.Allyson, I'll go first."
Sharon Allyson nodded, "Bye"
After Jayden Bower left, Dean Wilson said, "He just came in and told you that something happened to Master Proctor?"
Sharon Allyson looked confused, "You ask me?"
Dean Wilson coughed, "Never mind.It's already happened anyway.Now let's get down to business: you're going to the party tonight."
"Why?"
"The Proctor family sent an invitation to the Beale Group, and I know you and Jeffery Proctor are pretty close, so he'll tell you whatever you wanna know.I now suspect that the Proctor family is the culprit of the London incident, as they try to get rid of Jameson Proctor.So, we've gotta know what their next plan is."
Before Sharon could speak, Dean Wilson continued, "Don't worry, though.I and William Hood will keep you company and then get you out of it safely.We promise."
Sharon Allyson gently pursed her lips, "Okay."
If it was true, as he said, that the Proctor family was responsible for the London incident, there was no telling what danger Jameson Proctor might be in.
So she had to attend the party no matter what.
At 6 p.m., Sharon Allyson came with Dean Wilson.
When they arrived at the Proctor family's door, William Hood was waiting there.
Sharon Allyson looked at the door of the Proctor family, her hand on her lap unconsciously clenched, her eyelashes fluttering softly.
She suddenly remembered that depressing and trying time when she felt as if she was in jail.
Never in her wildest imagination did she ever think that she would ever come back here again.
William Hood got into the car to greet her, saying, "When you get inside later, please try to stay with Jeffery Proctor, preferably alone.Do get to the bottom of this case.After that, we'll take care of the rest."
