Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 640
“You said you wanted my help?” Dylan looked around. The ballroom had already been set up and only needed some final
touches
The hotel staff was busy, but everything was in order. It seemed that there was no need for his help. He furrowed his brows, and
a sense of annoyance surged from within.
“Can you stop using these lowly tactics?”
Sharon would go to any lengths to see him, just like before. His cold tone and disgusted gaze caught her off guard.
Moments later, she smiled with a hint of sarcasm,
“It seems that you have overestimated your charm.” She glared at Dylan. The rosy hue on her face faded as she spoke
sarcastically. “Il was your father’s idea that you come here. Don’t forget, we’re a model couple in others’ eyes. Or do you wish to
let the cat out of the bag?”
The essence of Dylan’s marriage with Sharon was known to both families. They merely wanted the stability and business
cooperation the marriage brought. They didn’t care whether the two were happy with the arrangement or not. They only had one
requirement for the two- to act like they were in love and put on a good show whenever they were in public, even if their
relationship was terrible.
Although Dylan usually acted nonchalant, deep down, he was actually afraid of his father. That was why he agreed to marry
Sharon,
Thus, when Sharon mentioned his father, his attitude immediately softened. He only responded with a dissatisfied snort choosing
not to confront her further.

“There’s nothing for you to help with here. Just have a seat and play with your phone to pass the time,” Sharon said.
“You want me to play with my phone while you’re busy? But that won’t show off our affection!” He suddenly took a step forward.
He h ooked his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
“Darling, how about you go and rest? I’ll help you with the work” he suggested. Hearing him call her “darling” made her body
stiften. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Before this, there was no one else around them except for Kevan. So, the other employees didn’t hear the hurtful words they
exchanged earlier. Now, they saw the affectionate exchange between the couple. The employees felt a tinge of envy and
jealousy as if they were witnessing a fairy-tale love story.
She readily accepted his suggestion.
“Sure,” she replied. She smiled softly and handed the walkie-talkie to him. She pointed at the young woman in a manager’s
uniform who had been with her earlier. “Ms. Helen over there will tell you what to do later. 11 rest then.”

After breaking free from his embrace, she turned to him with a bright smile and said. “Thank you, darling!”
The faint sense of loss that Dylan had just experienced vanished instantly. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arm. Then, he
mustered a smile as he replied in a similar way. “You’re welcome, daring!”
The onlookers were captivated by their love.
Sharon didn’t return to the hall for quite some time after she left. Following Sharon’s instructions, Dylan sought out Ms. Helen
and completed the tasks Sharon hadn’t finished. By the time everything was done, the guests were almost arriving.
Dylan didn’t forget to bring Kevan along to the entrance to welcome the quests.
Outside the hall, directly opposite the entrance, there were two registration tables. One for the groom’s family and the other for
the bride’s family, These tables were specifically designated for checking in the guests and receiving wedding gifts.
