Chapter 91 Don't Bother Me

After resting for a few days, Sherry started to panic. Chester had never said that he would leave the matter to her. The whole thing made her very anxious.

Finally, Sherry decided to go up to the top floor to meet him.

When she got there, Chester was handing documents to Beisy. She overheard that he had something important to deal with and asked the advertising department to handle it.

Sherry couldn't help but feel a small pang of disappointment. She was clearly not the one in charge of the matter, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

She bit her lower lip to make her lips a more appealing red color. She took a breath, then opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Gu!" She walked towards him with a broad smile on her face.

Both Chester and Beisy, hearing her voice, turned to look at her.

Seeing it was Sherry, Beisy said to him discreetly, "I'll give you some privacy, Mr. Gu."

He nodded his head in confirmation and Beisy promptly left the office. Now it was just the two of them in the office, all alone.

He was wearing a crisp, white button-up shirt; he looked sharp and professional. A slight smile played across his face. He looked so handsome, especially when he smiled. He was pleased to see Sherry.

"How are you feeling? Are you better now, fully recovered?" He stood up from where he had been sitting behind his desk. He walked out of his large office towards the staff lounge, which housed several expensive leather couches.

Sherry followed him and replied, "I'm feeling all right now. I've completely recovered and I'm ready to go back to work again."

"What would you like to drink?" he asked as he approached a fancy coffee machine.

She nodded as she eyed the coffee machine. "Coffee would be great."

As he rolled up his sleeves to make the coffee, he said, "You work so hard, Sherry. Maybe you should take a few more days off. Are you sure you feel well enough to be working again?

Sherry nodded sincerely and took a convincing step forward. "Absolutely! I'm so bored at the moment, I need to work again. And I'm worried about my cases being taken over by the other staff!"

"It's only Linda. No one else has been working on your cases," he said reassuringly.

Sherry was taken aback for a moment, hearing this information. Then she nodded. "Yes, I hadn't realized how capable Linda was until now."

He handed her a cup of coffee. It smelt strong and delicious. "You aren't looking good. I'm worried that if you come back now you'll overwork yourself again."

Sherry touched the back of her hand to her cheek. She had looked meticulously at herself in the mirror before she'd come to see him. He must have noticed the dark circles around her eyes. She should have covered them up better with makeup.

"The other staff will be the ones getting sick if they have to work overtime, not just me. Besides, I'm the manager! Mr. Gu, you don't have to give me any special treatment."

He shook his head and said decisively, "No. I think it would be best if you go home and rest a while longer."

"But I'm worried. What if Linda can't handle everything on her own!" said Sherry with a concerned tone.

"Doesn't she have other staff to help her? Don't worry, Sherry. She is still your assistant and I will give her a pay raise for the extra work she's been doing." He moved back towards the couch and sat down as he spoke.

"But Mr. Gu..." Before she could finish her sentence, he waved his hand to stop her. He was not willing to discuss the matter further. He then announced, "I must return to my work now. You are welcome to stay here and finish your coffee before you leave."

Then he stood up purposefully. He pushed open the door of the lounge, and disappeared.

As soon as he walked out the door, he saw a man standing in front of his desk. He was waiting for him.

It was another of his employees who came to deliver some documents. After confirming that everything was okay, he let her out.

Linda was only one step away from being the department manager. Only Sherry stood in

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

olly against the car door, his slender, muscular legs crossed casually in front of him. He held a fresh bunch of crimson red roses in his hand. Every woman in sight was eyeing him out.

She watched the man, so clearly lapping up the attention from behind a pair of overpriced sunglasses. She felt inexplicably irritated by his presence.

She put her handbag over her shoulder and strode towards him without any expression on her face.

When he caught sight of her, Jeremy immediately straightened up and waited for her.

As she approached him, Sherry asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Those are too much!"

He was speechless as he handed her the roses and said, "Guess what day it is today."

"I'm not going to waste my time guessing." Sherry didn't take the flowers he held out to her. Instead she took off his sunglasses and put them on. She then opened the car door and hopped in.

He stomped around to the other side of the car, got in, and drove them away.

She stared out of the car window, reluctantly holding onto the roses Jeremy had handed over to her. She said gloomily, "I've told you so many times. Don't bother me unless there's nothing important."

She had been feeling so empty and unproductive over the past few days. Thus, she had a lot of time to think about the events of her past. On top of that, she had been drugged for no apparent reason. As a result, all sorts of thoughts had been circulating in her mind at the moment.

"Can I bother you if there's indeed something important?" Jeremy was driving so fast that the scenery outside the window was one big, colorful blur. She felt dizzy.

"Okay, tell me. What happened? You got a promotion? Or you have a new girlfriend?" she teased, looking at him with a cheeky smile.

He frowned and replied unhappily in a low voice, "Don't be ridiculous, Sherry! I don't have any other girlfriend except you."

He took her hand and squeezed it tightly in his, wrapping his slender fingers around hers.

Hearing this, Sherry attempted to pull her hand away. But he held onto it tightly and she couldn't escape his grasp.

The car pulled up in front of a fancy looking hotel.

As soon as the car stopped, a uniformed valet came to open the door.

Sherry was completely thrown. She had no idea why Jeremy had given her roses and brought her here. It was such a romantic gesture. She had thought he was just bored. It turned out she was clearly wrong.

As the door opened he walked around to her side, chivalrously holding out his hand to help her out of the car.

"Mr. Ou, please follow me," said a waiter as he came to them wearing a smart black suit. He led them to the box Jeremy had reserved for them.
