His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1161 Nancy's Condition

After taking their sweet time together, Charles and Sheryl tightly threw themselves into each other's

arms, feeling the warmth and love from each other's embrace. Soon, they were off to a deep sleep.

That night, Sheryl had slept really well, and undoubtedly Charles did also. However, as soon as the

rising sun cast a golden glow into the room through the glass window, they both had no choice but to

get up and strive for their own busy life, even though neither of them wanted to get up yet.

Sheryl's night was so wonderful, and it was the complete opposite of her morning as she drastically

overhauled Cloud Advertising Company by changing her customers and employees.

She had an extremely busy day ahead of her from trying to get familiar to her new clients to training

and showing her newly hired employees their applied jobs. The company hadn't been this busy for a

long time now.

Sheryl knew that many of her new clients came to cooperate and coordinate with her company due to

her reliability and as well as Charles' reputation. Knowing Sheryl's connection with the big time chief

executive officer, no one dared to stir up any trouble. Moreover, as long as the plans could satisfy them

and their career, they were willing to ignore the tiny problems the new employees were causing.

However, Sheryl was the boss, and she always sought for perfection. Even though her customers gave

a blind eye on these small details, she wouldn't let these problems go no matter how small they were.

She would comfort her customers as well as teach and guide her employees on how to optimize their

plans and resolve these tiny details until there wasn't any problem to solve anymore.

As this teaching-by-doing technique went on for a long time, all the new staff finally got familiar with

their work, and the number of problems were lessening each day as they were all able to handle their

jobs smoothly.

Sheryl finally found a spare time on her day to lean back on her chair for a moment to close her eyes

and take a breath. Moments later, a knock came at her door and coming in was Isla with a folder in her

hand. Sheryl opened her eyes and sat up straight, looking at Isla, who had a bright smile on her face.

She walked in closer to Sheryl's desk and handed her the folder. "Sher, this is the financial report for

the last order. Please, make a confirmation."

"Okay, let me check," Sheryl replied as she took the report. Isla sat back on the chair in front of Sheryl's

desk as Sheryl looked over the report. Seeing how her company got back on its feet and right on track

placed Sheryl in a good mood these days.

As Isla watched Sheryl's eyes beam with delight, she broke the silence and offered, "Sher, shall we

celebrate and relax tonight? We deserve it."

Sheryl's smile faded as she glanced back at Isla with confusion. "Celebrate? For what? Isn't it normal

for our company to make money?" She looked at Isla, thinking that there was no need for a special

celebration.

Isla chuckled at Sheryl's innocence, and in an excited and chirpy voice, she asked, "Do you really think

there's nothing to celebrate for? Our precious company just survived against all odds! I mean, think

about it. When we were at the brink of closing down, our own previous staff, not to mention our past

clients as well, had lost their hope and didn't believe that Cloud Advertising Company would survive

that downfall. But, how about now? Look at where we are now! We just stood taller and stronger. We

have more orders than before, and we have been much better off than before! I'm starting to think that

our previous staff and clients were the reason for our setbacks." Isla then started to laugh and felt pride

as she spewed out the recent performance of the company as well as its achievements in a short span

of time.

She smiled at Sheryl, who eventually smiled back. She felt fortunate to have listened to Sheryl's

suggestion at that time, or else, this company would have remained in the hands of those non-

enterprising staff. If not, as well, Cloud Advertising Company wouldn't be swimming in a pool of

progress now.

Sheryl returned her gaze to the report and turned the next page before saying, "Well, it's unavoidable

that the longer days those old staff worked in our company, the more languid they became. Then again,

I broke off with them not because they were sluggish, but because they had insisted on leaving, and I

couldn't detain them against their will. As for these new staff, I personally employed them with This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

standards that I set myself. Only those who did high quality works can be hired into our company."

She couldn't help but feel proud of the employees she picked herself.

"So, at least, for these hard-working and outstanding staff who garnered excellent new orders for the

company, don't you think you need to reward them with an excellent meal as well?" Isla just had to say

it to pave the path for showing that this meal couldn't be saved.

Sherly removed her gaze from the report and stared into Isla's eyes as if asking her if she was being

serious. In a playful tone, she asked, "Isla, I'm starting to doubt your allegiance to me. How could you

take their side and ask me to reward them with a slap-up meal?"

With a huge smile on her face, Isla leaned over the table. "Oh, come on, Sher. You know that I never

take others' side easily. I'm still on your side as always. Then again, even if I take your side, I still can't

ignore the hungry beast inside my stomach, can I?" Isla said with a small pout on her face.

"Well, you could have just gotten direct to the point, you know, that you want me to be the sitting duck.

You didn't have to go as far as using the new staff as an excuse to feed the beast."

Isla's cheeks started to warm as she realized that Sheryl had read through her, making her feel

embarassed. She shove this feeling away and said, "Humph. I don't care about the excuses I use. You

tell me, though, celebrate or not?"

Sheryl looked at her for a moment and slowly nodded, granting her wish. "Fine, fine. Now that you have

opened your mouth, how could I say no? Moreover, we have received that rest of the payment, so I will

treat all of you with a heaving plate. Is that enough celebration for you?" Isla nodded quickly with a

huge smile on her face. Sheryl added, "However, can I trouble you with the necessary arrangements?

Reserve a booth in a restaurant and notice all the employees, okay?"

"No problem. This is just a piece of cake! You can count on me!" Isla chuckled, feeling more excited

now that she got what she wanted.

Sheryl just smiled at her reaction, and of course, she wouldn't make a fuss anymore about this trifle

with Isla. Then Sheryl looked at the clock and stated in a calm voice, "There is still some time left

before dinner. If you don't mind, can you accompany me to the hospital?"

Without any hesitation, Isla answered with a sweet smile on her face, "Of course, I'm available. Even if

I were busy right now, I would still find time to accompany you."

After a beat, the smile on Isla's face dropped as she realized where Sheryl intended to go. She turned

to Sheryl with worry in her eyes. "Hospital? Why do you need to go there? Are you sick? Is there

anything you want to check on? Or someone admitted in the hospital?"

Sheryl shook her head as Isla started to observe Sheryl for any sign of illness. "No, no. I'm fine. Do you

still remember Nancy?" she asked.

Isla thought about it for a moment, and then a tinge of surprise was immediately written on her face.

"Of course, I remember her! She is your house maid, right? Why? Is she in the hospital now? What

happened?"

Sheryl nodded her head and let out a deep sigh. "Yes. She got hurt when she tried to protect Clark and

Shirley from getting kidnapped. I still don't know how she is now. Since I finally have some spare time, I

want to make sure that she is in a good condition," she explained with worry evident in her voice.

In detail, she told Isla what happened that day and how Nancy got hurt.

Hearing this, Isla also got concerned, but she didn't want to expose her worry to Sheryl for she knew

that worry wasn't what Sheryl needed right now. Isla reached out for Sheryl's hand and said, "Don't

worry, Sher. We can come to the hospital and check on Nancy right now."

Sheryl sighed once more. "I know. After all, the least I can do now is to visit her." If she could think of

any way to wake up Nancy from her coma, then she would have carried it out at once. But that was the

problem—the medical professionals couldn't do anything about Nancy's condition, more so for her.

All she could do right now was to wait.

Wait and pray to God for a positive result.

As she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang, bringing her back to reality. The caller was an

unregistered number. "This is Sheryl speaking. Who is this?" she answered.

Isla watched as Sheryl nodded and then her face lit up with a smile. "Oh, really? That's great! We will

come right now! Thank you!" Sheryl exclaimed in a tone laced with excitement and turned to Isla with a

smile as soon as she hung up the call.

She was so happy that she lost her words.

"Sher, who was it? What happened?" Isla asked in confusion.

Sheryl couldn't help but blurt out immediately what she heard on the phone. "Isla, it was the nurse from

the hospital. She informed me that Nancy had woken up an hour ago. She recovered from her coma!"

She felt so exhilirated hearing this piece of good news. It meant that Nancy was okay now, and as long

as her body would start to regain its health, they wouldn't have to feel so guilty anymore.

"That is really great news! We should head there right now!" Seeing Sheryl with a glimmer of joy and

worry-free, Isla, too, started to feel genuinely happy for Sheryl.

Sheryl stood from her seat and answered with the side of her lips raised in a grin, "Let's go!" Before

they headed to the hospital, they decided to stop by the supermarket to buy a fruit basket for Nancy.

When they arrived at the ward, full of smiles, they found Nancy, sitting on the bed and eating the hot

congee. She lifted her head towards the door and saw Sheryl standing at the open door. Nancy's eyes

widened in surprise and she asked, "Sher, why are you here?"
