Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Sharon looked closely at the woman blocking her way. She was slender, with a delicate face and features, but her pale complexion made her look unwell. Sharon recognized her as the girl from Conor's last party. The girl had interrupted Sharon's conversation with Ray, wanting to speak to him. If Sharon guessed correctly, this was the girl Edwin had mentioned, the one Kay had always liked and never given up

on.

"Do you need something?" Sharon asked calmly.

The girl looked visibly nervous. Her anxiousness only made her appear more delicate and pitiable, as if a gust of wind could knock her over. "Yes." she bit her lip, struggling to speak, but finally said, "Ms. Cress, have you heard about Mr. Stanley canceling his cooperation with Ray?"

"Yes," Sharon replied, showing no emotion.

"The reason he did that is because you and Ray pretended to be a couple at Ray's grandfather's birthday party. He did it because of you... The girl paused to cough, her face flushing unnaturally. 1... followed you. I know you're Foxy Damon. You're also Mr. Stanley's ex-wife. He canceled the deal to warn Ray not to get involved with you

Sharon had to admit, that this girl knew a lot, but Sharon didn't buy it that Edwin targeted tay because of her. She couldn't help but remember Edwin's domineering antitude. "So, you're the one who invited me to the Gildon Tower? Just so I could hear Ray and his father's conversation?" Sharon asked, her expression growing colder.

"Yes, it was me," the girl admitted, coughing again, looking even more fragile. For some reason, Sharon found this girl increasingly unlikable. She couldn't muster any sympathy for her.

"Camila Ford," the girl introduced herself. "I'm not capable of helping Ray, but I hope you can. He's an outstanding man; it would be a shame for him to leave the company. With that, Camila's eyes filled with tears, making her look even more pitiful. If Sharon were a guy, she probably would have gone over to hug Camila and comfort her.

"Please, Camila said respectfully before quickly leaving

Sharon watched Camila's shaky figure disappear into the distance, her lips pressed tightly together. In the end, Sharon decided to visit Genesis Group.

"Hello. Do you have an appointment asked the receptionist at Genesis Group, her face a new one Sharon hadn't seen before, smiling professionally. Sharon smiled back, about to speak when someone approached. "Ms. Cress."

It was Felix, looking tense as he glared at the receptionist. The receptionist looked puzzled but quickly realized Sharon was someone important and lowered her head respectfully.

"Are you here to see Mr. Stanley? Felix asked politely, feeling nervous. If he hadn't arrived in time, Edwin's distinguished guest would have been neglected.

"This way, please," Felix said. Without waiting for Sharon to respond, he made a gesture for her to follow and quickly pressed the elevator button.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Sharon stepped into the elevator without any fuss. Seconds later, Felix led her into Edwin's office. "Mr. Stanley, Ms. Cress is here; Felix announced. looking at Edwin behind his desk.

Edwin sat in front of his computer, his usual stern expression etched onto his face. This sternness didn't detract from his appearance; in fact, it added to his aura of cold elegance. He held the phone to his ear, issuing commands. When he heard Felix's words, he lifted his cold gaze. The moment he saw Sharon, his expression softened considerably, his eyes becoming gentle. "Reschedule the meeting for three hours later," Edwin ordered, his voice firm.

There was a loud clatter on the other end, followed by a hesitant voice. "Th-three hours?" The head of the R&D department had never encountered such a delay in all his time at the company, Edwin's time was always calculated to the minute, never wasted. Three hours was unimaginable.

Edwin didn't elaborate, simply lunging up the phone. He stood up and gave Felix a look, who promptly understood and left the room. "Bring two coffees to the office," Felix instructed the secretary as he passed her desk.

"Sure. The professionally dressed and attractive secretary quickly made her way to the executive coffee room.

Inside the office, Edwin's gaze was soft as he looked at Sharon. "What brings y

hat brings you here so suddenly!" His tone was unusually gentle.

The secretary, entering with the coffee, nearly thought she'd walked into the wrong office hearing Edwin's tone. "Is this really Mr. Stanley! The Mr. Stanley who's always so stern, his cold demeanor almost palpablet Despite his breathtaking looks, no one in the secretary pool dares approach this iry boss, she pondered and nearly knocked over the cups in surprise but managed to steady herself and walked to Sharon.

Seeing Sharon standing, the secretary placed the cup on a small table behind her. Then she took another cup

from the tray and placed it on

Edwin's desk. "Mr. Stanley, your coffee,

"Where's Felix!" Edwin's face darkened upon hearing the secretary's voice. "My personal assistant can't even make coffee!"

"Um..." The secretary was at a loss, thinking that making coffee was always her job. She stood there looking at Edwin, stunned, unable to understand what she had done wrong.

Seeing Edwin's face darken and noticing that the secretary was on the verge of tears, Sharon took a step back and sipped her coffee. I need to talk to you," she said, trying to ease the tension. Edwin finally shifted his gaze back to Sharon, his expression softening much more.

The secretary kept watching Edwin. Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, she was even more shocked than when he had been harsh with her earlier. She wondered, "Am I seeing things? The usually icy boss is looking at someone with such tenderness? Unable to contain her curiosity, the secretary glanced at Sharon, still pondering. What kind of magic does this young lady have to transform our cold-faced boss into a gentle lamb?

"Sit down. Let's talk," Edwin said, irritated at Felix for sending a female secretary to serve coffee. He stepped away from his desk and pulled out a chair for Sharon.

The secretary was surprised at the scene, but fearing Edwin's sternness toward her, she dared not linger. Quickly carrying the tray, she hurried out of the office as if wolves were at her heels.

Sharon didn't take the chair Edwin had pulled out for her. Instead, she stepped back, pulled out another chair herself, and sat down.

"It's about Ray." She placed her coffee cup on the table, her gaze fixed on it, avoiding eye contact with Edwin. "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can direct it at me. There's no need to target him. Edwin had been quite pleased with Sharon's sudden visit, but her words caused the features that had just softened to abruptly tense up again,
