Chapter 8 - Louise Van Hill (1/2)
Two months have promptly passed after their vigorous workout. Their complex relationship advanced from platonic to a real married couple. They instantly decided to move into the master bedroom and since their relationship advances, Sheri naturally becomes a proper wife toward him. Every night feels like they are on their honeymoon and she was astonished he didn't get tired. He goes to work in the morning and in the night he works on her.
In these months Sheri strived to amend gradually. She instantly becomes a stay at home wife and stops going out for a night club. She even enlists herself to a cooking class, survival class, and self-defense class.
She realizes that in her previous life she is worthless and empty-headed. The second she was abducted she doesn't know how to defend her self, if she had known some self-defense she would have got her self a time to scape. She perceives also at that time that they were in the middle of the forest, so she deliberately enrolls her self for a survival skill together with the cooking skill for Henry to please him. She seriously did her best to learn everything.
This day is their wedding anniversary. She wants to surprise her husband by delivering a lunch box to him. Sheri prepared for the first time with the help of their chef a decent meal. It's also the phase she wants to see the female lead. After wrapping up the lunch box, She changes into a casual white dress and drives toward the company of his husband with their meal in her hand.
She went down from her car and went straight to the reception area. The receptionist looked at the woman who dresses in white smiling at her.
”Yes maám, how can I help you?” said the receptionist
”Yes, I want to see Henry,” Sheri gently said.
”Do you have an official appointment maám?” asked again the receptionist.
”No, I don't have,” Sheri replied.
”I'm sorry maám our policies are strict in this company.” apologetically the receptionist answered.
”Does this help?”Sheri showed her ID toward her.
The receptionist stiffened when she saw the information on her ID.
”I'm... I'm sorry maám I wasn't able to recognize you.” the receptionist stuttery said.
”Don't be, it's my first time here anyway so please if you could help me that would be fine,” Sheri said while smiling.
”Ye' yes maám. Please follow me.” She nervously ȧssists Sheri in the elevator she was supposed to go along with her but Sheri smile and stated no need. The receptionist lowers her head and went back to her desk. Fall to her chair and breath. They all know in the scandal magazine how the wife of their CEO is not a good person. The other receptionist came and inquired what happened, and she explained everything. Both fo them gossip about Sheri but the other receptionist was stunned that what they read in the magazine doesn't match what she saw while ago.
On the top floor, she saw a woman who is in her mid 20's typing on the computer. Sheri instantly dropped her mouth.
”Goodness, is this the so-called female lead? Her face looked like an angelic, her body is impeccable, even her skin glows. What is this? She even emits a warmth feeling and kind atmosphere.” Sheri naturally wants to clap her hands to pay tribute to this female lead. ”Indeed, this is the female lead. That title really belongs to this attractive woman,” Sheri thought.
When Sheri was busy observing the female lead, the female lead felt someone is staring at her she looked up and saw Sheri looking at her.
”Can I help you maám?” she inquires politely.
”Ah yes, is Mr. Henry present?” Sheri snaps from her thought
”Do you have an appointment madam?” she asks again.
”No, I want to surprise him.” Sheri respectfully spoke.
”Are you an ȧssociate with Sir Henry” the female lead recognizes that no matter what, she must not insult anyone beside she has this gut feeling this woman in front of her indeed knows her boss.
The moment Sheri supposes to respond to her. Henry opens his office door.
Henry beams at the woman who is standing in front of his secretary.
