His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1189 Place A Bet

Isla didn't care much about it at all. Her visit to the company yesterday had given her a bad impression

of it. Now that they were unable to keep the company running, she felt it was better to cancel their

contract.

"Give me the contact details of the company. I want to make sure that I give it one last chance," said

Sheryl, unwilling to give up on those young men who had just started to branch out on their own.

Sheryl clearly remembered the passion in their eyes the last time they had come to their company to

seek a contract with them. They longed earnestly to start a company of their own and display their

competence.

Their desire was obvious and sincere. Sheryl didn't want to believe that those young men had forgone

their faith in such a short time.

Even if they had left their faith behind, Sheryl didn't want to give up yet. She felt that she should make

an effort to hold onto her faith at least.

"Why are you so determined in wasting more of our time bothering with them?" Isla asked again in

disbelief.

"I don't have anything else to do for now. I finished the other order yesterday. So, why don't I help you

with this one? I don't see any problem in it," Sheryl said with a shrug.

"Oh? Are you challenging me? All right then, I'll give you their phone number. From now on, you are in

charge of this order!" Isla obviously had no tolerance for provocation.

She was confident about her professional skills. She was ready to take Sheryl's challenge head on.

"Yeah, you can take it as a challenge! It will be pretty boring if there is no bet in place. What do you

think?" Sheryl asked with a wide smile. She had been extremely bored these past few days. This was a

rare chance for her to stir her blood. She couldn't let it slip through her fingers.

And Isla was the perfect person for her to get that kind of excitement from. Sheryl had no interest in

seeking out trouble by gambling with others. All she wanted was to have a little bit of fun with her

friends.

"A bet? Okay! You determine the rules. I'm in!" Isla was intrigued instantly.

"The rules are simple. If I can help reconcile the partners of Lansh Technology and convince them to

keep running the company, I win. Otherwise, I lose," Sheryl stated simply.

"All right. It's a bet. Let's see, I place one hundred dollars on it," said Isla, taking a hundred dollar bill

out of her pocket.

"That is too little! Let's go big! The loser has to pay the travel costs to Sanya for the winner. How does

that sound?" Sheryl declared. She had been wanting to take a trip for a while now. She was hoping that

if she lost, she could pay for Isla and they could go together on the trip.

"Travel costs to Sanya?!" Isla blurted out, her eyes wide in surprise. "Sheryl, that is too much! I can't

afford it. I'm not as wealthy as you are. I don't have enough money to cover your traveling expenses.

Be realistic. You are the wife of a CEO, not me!" Isla scoffed, shaking her head at her friend's ridiculous

bet. Isla was suspicious that it was a trap because Sheryl seemed so confident that she could win.

Sheryl was rich. If Isla fell for her tricks, she would have to cover the cost of her trip to Sanya. 'Charles

should be the one paying for her, ' Isla thought.

"I see that someone has lost her guts to place the bet," Sheryl provoked her.

"You are right. I wouldn't dare agree to this bet. There is nothing you can do to force me." Isla raised

her brow in suspicion once again. She was wondering if Sheryl was doing this to retaliate because she

had asked Sheryl to treat all the staff to dinner before.

If Isla lost the bet, she would have to bear immense loses. She couldn't risk it.

"You are such a coward," said Sheryl, knowing that her plan hadn't worked. It would be no fun at all if

Isla didn't take the bet.

"Yep, I'm a coward," Isla admitted without any embarrassment. She had nothing to be ashamed of

since it was true that she couldn't afford to take such a huge bet. "Fine. Since you are such a

spoilsport, we'll just cancel the bet!" Sheryl pouted, disappointed.

Isla was nervous as she dialed the number of the company. She held her breath as she sat in front of

the computer. However, the line was not connected.

"See? I told you! No one is answering the call," Isla said, relieved.

"You already knew that the call won't be answered, so you should also know that I won't be budged by

that. Why didn't you agree to the bet?" Sheryl asked. She always displayed a clear mind and rigid logic

when she argued with anyone.

"The bet you placed is too big for me and I can't afford it if I lose." Isla spoke her mind finally.

Sheryl laughed. "Isla, I'm honestly surprised that you have something that actually scares you," she

said.

"Fine, forget it! Now that you want to play so badly, I will play with you just as you wish," Isla said,

giving in to Sheryl's taunts.

Isla knew Lansh Technology better than Sheryl did, so she was confident that she would be the one to Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

win.

That company would not make it. It was impossible for it to keep afloat just because of a few

encouraging words from Sheryl.

"Good! That's the Isla I know." Sheryl smiled.

Isla sighed at her friend's enthusiasm. She said, "Cut the nonsense and check whether you can get

through to them or not." Isla handed the phone to Sheryl.

"Okay, I will make the call now." Sheryl dialed Lansh Technology's number which Isla had handed to

her earlier.

But no one answered the call this time either.

Sheryl didn't give up and kept on calling.

But the call didn't go through.

"This is a waste of time. You stay here, Isla. I'm gonna go to Lansh Technology and see what's

happening there," Sheryl said, shaking her head. She wondered if this issue could be solved if she

showed up at their company in person.

"Sher, I'm coming with you. There's nothing important for me to do here anyway," Isla said, standing up

from her chair.

Just a moment ago, they had been arguing with each other. But now, they were as intimate as sisters,

as if nothing had happened.

They were best friends, after all. They had nothing to fear or care about as long as they had each

other's back.

Together, they wouldn't let anything get in their way.

"All right. This will more likely be settled if we go together," Sheryl agreed without a second thought.

"I don't know if we can do this or not, and frankly, I don't care. But I want to see how you will find a way

to change their minds."

"Actually, even I don't know how. We'll see when we arrive at Lansh Technology," Sheryl said.

"Well, then what's the hold up? Let's go!" Isla hurried Sheryl; she was as impatient as always.

"All right, let's hit the road!" Sheryl looked at the time. It was almost noon. They didn't have much time

left.
