Chapter 89 A Diversionary Tactic (Part Two) (2/2)

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.

”Those people don't have the guts,” Steve responded, his face impassive.

”Can I get out of here now? I'll just get off here.”

Steve glanced around, looking out the taxi windows. Sighing, he answered, ”Not yet. Just a little longer. By the way, you can't go back to work in that hotel anymore, you realize that, right?”

The waitress nodded somberly. She knew that much, but it didn't bother her. Not with the money she already had.

Back in the room, the place was starting to calm down.

From where she was still lying on the ground, nestled beneath the bed, Sherry felt her body start to get stiff and ache from staying still so long.

All the clamor and the footsteps began to fade away. The last of the reporters had scampered off, and the security guards were now ensuring that the room was evacuated. Finally, the door swung closed.

The room fell completely silent, with only the sound of her own breath breaking the stillness.

Now that it was all clear, Sherry carefully, painfully crept out from beneath the bed and took her first breath of fresh air.

The lamp in the room was already off and it was pitch darkness everywhere. Seated on the cold floor, she felt her legs trembling.

She was in so much discomfort and anxiety that she wasn't sure of what to do next.

Finally, she decided to pull all her clothes back on and wait just a little longer in the inky blackness. When she was sure that the people outside had completely left, she carefully cracked the door open, slipping out.
