Chapter 91 Dont Bother Me (1/2)

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.
