Chapter 17 - Sheri Hoal (2/2)

Devon stiffens when he saw her smile. He was still for a moment and stares intently toward Sheri.

Sheri felt goosebump all over her body the moment, his eyes directed at her.

He snaps from his thought. Indeed, the gossip was true. The Hoal Company doesn't do a collaboration with any company making them safe in all aspects.

”Since I can't change your business protocol, then can I asked ms. Sheri for an official dinner as a thankful gift for generously helping my grandma.” Respectfully asked Devon.

Her Dad on the side was still confused about what is happening, he will talk to them soon anyway.

” That would be indeed better, Sheri what do you think?” asked Sheri's father.

She saw her father smile indicating she should accept it. She grips her cellphone tighter because of firm grip some of the shards of the phone are cutting Sheri's hand. She will say yes today and just find an excuse later on.

”Ok, you can let my secretary know when and where, by the way, I have to go back to work for an important transaction. It is urgently needed to be properly taken care of, so please excuse me if I have to cut this meeting short,” spoke Sheri.

Devon was again surprised by the way she excuses her self. She seems she's running away from him, but he knows she can't run. No matter where she goes, he will chase her. His a Goori. He gets what he wants.

”Then I see you soon miss Sheri.” He enthusiastically said.

He reaches his hand again wanting to touch her soft hand. She extends her uninjured hand towards him and Devon holds it and kisses the back of her hand again. Sheri wanted to run and wash, but she keeps her cool.

”See you soon then” she slowly withdraws her hand from his grasp she looked at her father and brother and warmly smiles. He was tranced with her smile. Her smile toward her family makes his cold-blooded heart beat so fast. All the rumors before about her were all lies. She is a gorgeous, fine, gentle, warm and kind lady.

Sheri looked at Mr. Devon and the way he keenly looked at her causing her to fell chill in her spine. She cracks a smile at him, his secretary and bid her goodbye. The moment she departs from that suffocating room. She strode toward her office and run toward her comfort room and clean her hand. The soap makes her winced, but she doesn't care. She is disgusted with that man. The way they did toward her in her old life is something she will never forget.

Suddenly the mechanical voice spoke in her head.

”Host sorry to bother you but you have 3 hours left we need to you to do the second mission ASAP. We are sorry to cut your days short.”

”Hmmm alright, but is there a problem?” Sheri inquires.

The mechanical voice talks one more time.

” I will explain later. Host hurry up we are running out of time.”

Sheri hurriedly wipes her hand dries and put the anti disinfectant alcohol to the place where Devon kissed afterward she went to her desk.

She knows that her father is still entertaining his guest so she takes the opportunity to escape and also escape his father's inquiry about the incident.

She rushes toward their mansion and locked herself in her room she hears the mechanical voice counting again. She felt dizzy for a second and when she opened her eyes she is now in the void space.

”welcome back host, no time to explain I will promptly transfer you immediately to your next mission when you arrive at your mission I will explain everything.”

Sheri felt dizzy again when she gently opens her eyes she was in the middle of a lush forest.
