Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432

At Nate’s words, a faint blush crept onto Kelly’s face.

“I didn’t think Carter would actually manage to get STAR.”

“Well, now you can stop overthinking things, can’t you?”

Nate paused, then smiled smugly. “Did you see what a mess Sharon looked like downstairs? Carter won’t even let her set foot inside Biggs Group. And you? You didn’t even need to check in-just went straight up. That’s the difference.”

The elevator soon arrived at its destination.

The two stepped into Carter’s office. Nate, never one to miss a chance to diss Sharon, wasted no time.

“Carter, we just ran into Sharon downstairs. Peggy said you explicitly ordered that she be barred from Biggs Group, and that anyone who let her in would be fired.

“But Sharon wouldn’t listen. She tried to force her way in. Peggy had no choice but to call security. Fortunately, Kelly and I arrived just in time.”

“Kelly, being soft-hearted, tried to speak up for Sharon, but Sharon wasn’t the least bit grateful. She even mocked us…”

At that, Carter’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Sharon came here?”

“She did,” Nate confirmed. “Peggy mentioned how last time, you nearly fired the front desk and security for letting her in. She was so scared, she didn’t even dare let Sharon stay a minute longer…”

Before he could finish, Carter turned toward the door.

“Simon,” he called out, “go downstairs and bring Sharon up.”

Both Nate and Kelly froze in place, exchanging puzzled glances.

Roughly ten minutes later, someone knocked at the office door.

Simon entered with an awkward expression. “Mr. Biggs, Sharon… has already left.”

Half an hour later, Peggy appeared before Sharon, her face dark with frustration. 1

“Sharon, Mr. Biggs… requests that you return.”

So she hadn’t been lying after all. She really did have an appointment with Carter.

Sharon didn’t even look up from her phone as she scrolled through the news. “Tell Carter I’m busy right now. I don’t have the time,”

At that moment, Sharon sat leisurely in a café, looking anything but busy.

Peggy could tell she was deliberately making things difficult. Biting her lower lip, she lowered her voice and said, “Sharon, I apologize. I was wrong earlier… I hope you’ll be the bigger person and not hold it against me.”

Sharon took a slow sip of her coffee, calmly watching Peggy try to swallow her pride.

“You’re in no position to negotiate with me,” she said coolly. “If Carter wants me back, he should come ask me himself. After all, it’s his responsibility to manage his staff properly.”

Peggy stared at her, stunned.

Carter had already shown great regard by sending her to apologize and invite Sharon back. And yet, Sharon wasn’t taking the olive branch. Instead, she was acting high and mighty?

Who did she think she was?

But Sharon seemed not to notice the shock on Peggy’s face. She returned to scrolling through her phone, unbothered.

Carter really was efficient-search results about John were already dropping off the trending page. The paid trolls online had noticeably quieted down.

Peggy opened her mouth to urge her to reconsider and not to push things too far. But the moment she looked into Sharon’s eyes, she realized-this woman was no longer the same as before.

From the moment she turned and walked away without hesitation, to the way she now spoke so brazenly, Sharon had become someone who wouldn’t be pushed around so easily.

Left with no choice, Peggy swallowed her pride and returned to report to Carter.

“Mr. Biggs, I’ve already apologized to Sharon, but she refused to come back. She said you’ll have to personally invite her.”

As she spoke, a trace of resentment crept into Peggy’s tone.
