Chapter 98 – A big fight over her
It was a debt she owed him anyway, and Sherry didn’t expect to win the man’s sympathy or pity, but at least, it would give her a chance to pay it back.
Aaron looked at the look on her face at that moment and a certain memory came to mind, a face that gradually overlapped with Sherry’s face in front of him.
It is becoming clearer and clearer.
The man frowned furiously and was about to speak when the conference room door was pushed open.
Nola stood in the doorway, her smile showing a bit of confusion, “Why are you two staying here when the meeting is already over?”
And alone too!
And Aaron had no intention of getting up to leave.
Nola stood outside for a while watching and couldn’t resist before she would come in.
She didn’t want to ruin her image in Aaron’s eyes again because of Sherry.
“Sherry, why don’t you go pour the coffee?” Nola ordered directly, then stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Aaron in a birdlike manner, “The last time we talked about going on a trip together …”
Sherry had the self-awareness to turn around and walk out in silence.
And by this time, the staff outside looked at her with a little more sympathy, because what Nola had said had worked, and in their eyes Sherry was not an object of envy for them.
She is a pathetic person who stays at Night Group and pays her debts to Aaron.
Sherry poured the coffee and knocked calmly on the door.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Through that shuttered window, you can vaguely see two figures in the room, seemingly entwined, and some very ambiguous sounds entering the room.
Sherry was carrying the tray and couldn’t tell you how she felt.
Jealous?
No, she doesn’t have that qualification.
But there was a slight bitterness in my heart, a sadness that came over me that I could not suppress.
“Sherry, what are you doing standing here, Andrew’s here and Daisy wants you to hurry up and greet him.” An employee was far enough away to shout at her.
Sherry then found her thoughts and put the tray aside on the front table.
After all, she couldn’t say what was going on in there, and if she knocked on the door and ruined Nola’s day, she would be tortured again, and she didn’t have the inclination to go up to her and ask for trouble.
Here Sherry had just walked away when a figure walked past from behind.
Andrew came to the company this time with a couple of managers with the simple aim of continuing to work with Night Group.
But before Sherry went over to receive her, Daisy told her very clearly, “The president’s office has given orders that there will be no cooperation with Andrew for the time being, so go over there and have a good talk, be smooth, understand?”
Sherry seemed to understand, and was still frozen, when Daisy pushed her out.
“Andrew, I happen to have a bit of work to do on my end, so I’ll let Sherry take a few of you to the parlor for a cup of tea first and talk through the details.”
Andrew raised his eyebrows slightly.
The guys at Night Group do have a good eye.
He said a shallow yes and stepped forward, “Sherry, let’s go.”
At least in the meantime, he could have a good word with her.
And the men Andrew brought along had the good sense not to come up and spoil it for the two of them, following far behind.
Sherry hesitated for a moment and whispered, “That money, did you receive it?”
Andrew hummed, as if he didn’t even care.
Sherry’s hanging heart fell to the ground and something changed between the two.
“Actually, working with Night Group wasn’t really on your mind, was it?” Sherry tried to ask.
Andrew turned sideways and gazed into her face, “What do you want to say?”
Sherry was taken aback by his gaze in a trance, but still had the courage to voice her suspicions, “Andrew Group doesn’t need to share the pie with anyone for the projects they’re handling right now, and besides, Night Group has a relationship with Henry Group … ”
She spoke up and noticed that Andrew was just looking at himself, as if he had nothing on his face.
Sherry paused slowly, “Did I, say something wrong?”
“No.” Andrew smiled frankly and took two steps, the distance between them abruptly closing, he suddenly lowered his head and stared into her face, “You know all too well that I’m giving in to Night Group over and over again for someone, can’t you just, like, think of a solution?”
“…”
Sherry’s heart stuttered.
She was just thinking of politely conveying to Andrew the task that Daisy had ordered her to do.
What’s this about herself?
“I …”
Before Sherry could say anything else, a printer handler passed behind them, carrying boxes in his hands.
The two men drew closer together again.
From a distance, Aaron approached with Eral and saw the scene in the first instant, Sherry being held by Andrew.
Dang, it’s in the hallway of the Night Group!
Eral didn’t have to look sideways to feel the low air pressure emanating from his own president, weighing people down.
But it seems that Sherry is not to blame.
After all, it looked like Andrew had initiated it, she just hadn’t pushed it away in the first place.
Instead, she froze in shock and when she was about to push away, she noticed the porters and only had to say thank you as her cheeks flushed slightly.
“As I said last time, you can relax and be yourself in front of me.” His voice was not too soft, not too heavy, and it hit just above Sherry’s heart door.
But a solemn, cold voice rang out across the sky.
“Sherry, have you finished the meeting report?” Aaron glanced over, his eyes as cold as they could be.
Sherry was taken aback by the sudden tone of his voice.
Without having time to respond, Aaron’s next words were already thrown out, “You can leave work early now to get ready for your business trip early tomorrow morning.”
Traveling again?
Sherry’s lips twitched as she tried to open her mouth to bargain.
But over there Eral kept giving her the wink.
Even if she had the audacity to do so, there was no need to go against Aaron.
As Sherry withdrew her gaze, Aaron’s slightly sunken gaze glanced at Andrew next to him, and when he spoke, his tone was light, “Sorry, Andrew, the Night Group no longer has any interest in working with your company.”
So straightforward?
Sherry stood by, all feeling so slightly embarrassed.
But Aaron is not leaving any stone unturned, “The last case didn’t go very well either, and Night Group is not going to waste any more energy or time on a partner with no future.”
“…”
The atmosphere was unmistakably silent at that moment.
“Mr. Swift thinks too highly of his own company, and I’m not here for the Night Group.” Andrew didn’t show any weakness, and the next moment, his eyes fell on Sherry, “I just think that Night Group can’t keep talents, some people, sooner or later, will go to a better place, and when the time comes, I hope Mr. Swift won’t regret it.”
A cold smile spread across Aaron’s lips, “That depends, if you can take the man away.”
Andrew’s brow furrowed.
“Of course I can, it’s just that I respect her ideas and don’t want to force her, confine her freedom, threaten, intimidate, what is that?”
Aaron’s hand is screwed into a fist under his sleeve.
The two men looked like they were about to get into a fight.
An employee suddenly came running over there, “Mr. Swift, it’s not good, Sherry has fainted in your office.”
