In the afternoon, Sharon Allyson saw that it was almost time, so she left the Beale Group and prepared to go to the airport.
Just as she went downstairs, she saw a man leaning against the Rolls Royce not far away, his posture casual, his dark eyes quiet, and looking in her direction.
Sharon Allyson froze and barely had time to react before she subconsciously ran over to him, jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
Although everyone had been telling her since last night that Jameson Proctor was safe, the uneasiness and fear could not be dissipated from her heart.
He stood in front of her, and she held him in her arms so tight that she could feel his body heat.
It was exactly at this very moment that she felt everything was real.
Jameson Proctor wrapped his arms around her, his voice low but gentle, "Just miss me so much?"
Sharon Allyson held him a little tighter, her voice uncontrollably choked, "I almost lost you..."
Jameson Proctor patted her back and said comfortingly, "I'll be wherever and whenever you wanna see me."
Sharon Allyson's voice was thickly nasal, "I was...I was going to pick you up..."
"I arrived ahead of time.I knew you were anxious to see me, so I came here right away."
Sharon Allyson didn't say a word.
She did want to see him so badly that she even fancied a sight of him as soon as he got off the helicopter.
Jameson Proctor rubbed her head, "As I've flew so long to get back, can you do me the honor of getting off work early tonight?"
Sharon Allyson nodded, "Sure."
With Dean Wilson taking care of everything in the Beale Group, Sharon was not in any mood to do anything at the moment, so it was a pure waste of time to stay here.
Jameson Proctor pulled open the car door and inclined his head toward her, "Get in."
On the way back, Sharon Allyson leaned on Jameson Proctor's shoulder, feeling her tense nerves completely relaxed, and fell asleep after a while.
Jameson Proctor wrapped his arm around her and let out an inaudible sigh of relief.
If something untoward happened to her while he was away, he might have gone crazy.
Sharon Allyson slept so long that when she woke up, she was in her bedroom in the apartment, and it was pitch-dark outside.
Jameson Proctor was lying next to her, breathing evenly.
Sharon Allyson watched him quietly for a moment before kissing him on his thin lips.
Then she gently lifted the covers and got up.
When she entered the kitchen, Sharon Allyson opened the refrigerator and saw that there were no more ingredients inside.
In the last few days when Jameson Proctor was away, she hadn't had even a single square meal yet.
Sharon Allyson checked the time.
In the morning, Ruben said he would come over in the evening, and now he should be coming soon.
She didn't want to go out, so she just sat in the sofa and ordered some take-out.
After about ten minutes, the doorbell rang.
It was Ruben Allyson who arrived.
Sharon Allyson opened the door, only to find Ruben Allyson in wet clothes, so she asked, "Is it raining outside?"
Ruben Allyson said, "A little."
"Come on in."
Sharon Allyson said, turning into the bathroom and bringing a towel out to him.
Ruben Allyson took it and looked around the room, "Isn't Jameson Proctor back yet?"
Sharon Allyson said, "He's sleeping."
Ruben Allyson was silent before saying, "What happened last night?"
"It was...a long story"
Jameson Proctor said, "Did they give you a hard time last night?"
Sharon Allyson shook her head, "No.Not at all.Even your big brother was for your sake.He did all this to protect you..."
"Dean Wilson told me on the phone, I know."
Sharon Allyson added, "So is there any way to undo all this now?"
Jameson Proctor said lightly, "The board meeting of the Proctor Group is just two days away."
"What are they trying to do with this board meeting?"
"Since they got the shares of the Proctor Group from me, they will definitely let everyone know about it, so this board meeting will be the most suitable time for them.I guess, the old man should intend to let Jeffery Proctor take the shares and justifiably enter the Proctor Group.This way, as long as I don't object, others will have to acquiesce."
In any event, the old man's approach of pushing Jeffery Proctor to the front was undoubtedly the smartest.
No matter what means they used to get it, if Jeffery Proctor was forced to take on this matter, Jameson Proctor would definitely not treat him as ruthlessly as he did the Master Proctor.
Instead, he would try to show Jeffery Proctor his due respect.
And precisely because of this, they had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Sharon Allyson tentatively spoke, "So you...would object?"
Jameson Proctor's laugh was dry, and didn't reach the corners of his lips, or his eyes.
He said, "They bet on Jeffery Proctor, and there is really nothing wrong with it.I won't do anything to him."
"But Jeffery Proctor was also just at their mercy, as he has no interest in the Proctor Group.If he is the one who enters the Proctor Group, it will just be Master Proctor using his name to do what they like."
Jameson Proctor put his arm around her waist and his chin on her shoulder.
He said slowly, "Things can't go that far."
Sharon Allyson didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"That contract has to be delivered to the old man to be most effective, but London is so far away from here; there is no guarantee they can deliver it."
