Chapter 31 Gossips (1/2)
”If you continue to disregard my feelings, I'm going through with the divorce. Even if you refuse, you have no choice.” Raising her head, Sherry looked at Jeremy coldly.
”Are you sure about that? You can try but I have a lot of means to stop this divorce.” He raised his eyebrows like he normally did.
Sherry pursed her lips as Jeremy eyed her callously. She then turned around, picked up the clothes on the floor, and ran to the bathroom. The next thing Jeremy heard was a loud bang. Sherry had slammed the door behind her.
For some reason, watching Sherry leave softened Jeremy's heart.
Still, that wasn't enough for him to back down in the face of divorce.
Sherry took a deep breath as she leaned her weight against the sink. More than anyone, she knew what kind of person Jeremy was and he never went back on his word.
Nothing scared him. If he didn't want the divorce, nothing in the world could make him change his mind. It was extremely cruel of him to hold her to their marriage just so she could be at his disposal.
Sherry splashed some water on her face in an attempt to wash away her exhaustion.
She knew she needed to change in order to start anew.
After washing her face, she came out of the bathroom. There was no one in the lounge. The blanket was still haphazardly thrown on the sofa.
She folded the blanket, put it aside, and walked to the office connected with the lounge.
Chester was sitting in front of the desk, reading through some documents as he drank a cup of coffee.
Hearing the footsteps, Chester raised his head. The suit he wore made him look elegant. When he smiled, it was fresh as a spring breeze.
”Have you cleaned up?” he asked.
Sherry walked up to his desk and nodded. She looked a little embarrassed as she spoke, ”Thanks for taking care of me last night. I'm sorry to barge in like that this morning.”
”Really? You're done?” He looked at his watch and said, ”It took you quite a while to clean up.”
Hearing this, Sherry's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile as she couldn't tell him that Jeremy had held her up which was why it took so long for her to clean up.
”Breakfast is on the desk. I've asked the staff to prepare it for you.” Chester then went back to reading the documents that he was reading before Sherry came in.
Sherry turned her head and found the milk and sandwich sitting on the desk in front of her.
”It's about the proposal you made yesterday. We already have some results,” Chester said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately put down the sandwich and looked at him nervously. ”What did they client say?”
He raised his head and said, ”Take it easy. We can talk while you're eating.”
However, Sherry didn't really feel like eating. She absolutely hated it when Chester kept her on the edge like this. It was obvious that he was deliberately teasing her. ”Just tell me already!” she demanded.
