Chapter 475
Lord Protector Novel
Emily disregarded Sharon after glancing at her.
She did not think Sharon would affect her plan.
Lacey and Emily got into the worn-out Santana while Zeke drove Sharonâs car.
The atmosphere inside the car felt slightly ambiguous as Zeke and Sharon were alone inside the cramped space. Moreover, Sharon had even claimed herself to be Zekeâs wife earlier.
Naturally, awkwardness lingered in the air.
Sharon gazed outside the window. She did not know where to place her hands, so she rested her palms stiffly on her knees.
Zeke broke the silence all of a sudden, âI suppose your pinhole camera is fully charged?â
Sharon became unsettled instantaneously. âWhat... what are you talking about? I donât understand what youâre saying.â
âYou can stop pretending now. That button on your chest is a pinhole camera, isnât it?â
Sharon covered her chest subconsciously.
That button on her chest was indeed a pinhole camera. She used the camera during undercover interviews.
That pinhole camera was well-hidden. It was impossible for anyone to figure out the hidden device without a detailed inspection.
This guy recognized the pinhole camera... Was he staring at my chest earlier?
Sharonâs face turned red in a split second.
Iâm wearing a low-cut V-neck shirt. If he was looking intently around this area, he must have seen my cleavage and... Ugh!
Zeke realized his words were misleading as well. So he hurriedly switched the topic, âI hope you can film Emily Clemons during lunch later. You must capture her every move. I will agree to collaborating with you if you can complete this task.â
Sharon asked, âAre you suspecting Emily Clemons? But I can see she has genuinely repented.
Moreover, you should let go of the things that happened in the past, as Ms. Hinton mentioned.â
Zeke heaved a deep sigh. âIf we always let go of the past, the future will be worse. Ah, Lacey is too kind-hearted. Thatâs one of the problems that will stick with her for the rest of her life.â
âIs it not a good thing to be kind-hearted?â
âKindness is a virtue. But that will have to depend on whom youâre showing your kindness to.
Sometimes, Lacey treats others so well to the extent of neglecting her own well-being. Luckily, I am accompanying her. Otherwise, she will suffer greatly in her life.â
Sharon nodded in a daze.
They arrived at Fleeting Year Karaoke after some time.
Lacey lamented while looking at the neon signboard at the entrance of the karaoke, âI canât believe this place is still here after so many years. Even the name remains the same.â
Emily agreed. âThatâs right. I havenât been here since we last partied here on our graduation day. I shouldnât have allowed you to drink then if I knew your alcohol tolerance was so low, Lacey. We were so young and energetic back then to party the entire night.â
âThat was my first time drinking alcohol. It was normal for me to get drunk easily.â
âLetâs go in. We can pay for our previous bill as well this time.â
Emily had already reserved a medium-sized private room.
She hastily opened all the alcohol placed on the table as soon as she entered the room. âLacey, letâs drink to our heartsâ content today.â
Lacey smiled. âLetâs drink as much as we can. Thereâs no need to force we to finish everything.â
âYouâre right. We are here to drink for the pleasure anyway. Take a seat, everyone.â
Lacey, Zeke and Sharon sat down as well.
At this moment, Zeke chided out of the blue, âWho allowed you to sit, Sharon Edward? You should know your place as a secretary. How dare you sit alongside your boss?â
