The President’s Stubborn Love

This is certainly not a compliment to her.

Sherry nodded slightly, ” Mr. Colin, thank you so much for your help.”

“No, I was just entrusted with the job.” He was back to that cold, noble look, not saying another word to Sherry.

Before the car, Nola and her brother had to find someone else.

They were promptly rebuked by a sober David, who had a sober look on his face and a little more respect in his words, “Our Garcia Family was nearly taken to court, so for the sake of the family’s reputation, it’s always permissible to reveal something to the outside world, right?”

The man didn’t answer, he just glanced towards the car.

David coughed awkwardly, “So, can I ask if this is … in the car”

Without answering, the man turned straight away and got into his car.

“What’s this guy’s deal, he doesn’t even put up with Dad!” Gregorio was furious, having clearly caught Sherry and watched her being rescued.

Amanda stood to one side, long since furious and fainted from the rush of anger.

“Nola, accompany your mother to the hospital, and Gregorio will come with me to the office.”

“Dad, can’t you deal with something more important afterwards? How can you still feel comfortable dealing with the company when Mum is like this?” Nola hadn’t expected such indifference from her own family.

David looked at her angrily, “Would the family be in this state if it weren’t for the big trouble you’ve caused? You do some soul-searching.”

Nola’s eyes barred tears.

Followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Why does everyone have to blame her for what happened!

The doctor gave Amanda a detailed examination, “The patient’s condition is serious, there has been a deteriorating cluster of cells in the brain and immediate surgery is required, the family will have to do a blood suitability test for surgery.”

Nola was taken into the examination room, but an hour later, the doctor told her the results that left her completely dumbfounded.

“You mean, I’m not my mother’s real daughter?”

“Yes, medically speaking, Ms. Amanda is not your biological mother, so please have other family members come in for tests as soon as possible.” The nurse finished and closed the door to the operating theatre.

Nola felt the sky spinning.

She, not the daughter of the Garcia Family?

She knew there was a lot going on at the office right now, but dialed her brother’s number anyway, “Brother, can you come to the hospital as soon as possible?”

The only sound over there was Gregorio’s yelling, “Deal with it as you see fit, I’m busy.”

The call was disconnected.

Nola sat dazed on a hospital bench with her eyes blank. Ten days ago, she was the much-loved daughter of the Garcia Family, but now, everything had changed!

…

Sherry sat in the back seat of the car and outside, it was the driver who was carrying the man’s luggage.

A few minutes ago, she was about to get off.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

But the man had received an impromptu phone call and needed a business assistant, and at this time, he had no one available under him.

“I’ve helped you twice, you’ve got to do something in return.”

Sherry only frowned, “Didn’t you say that helping me was just something you were asked to do? It’s not appropriate to ask for something in return, is it?”

The man’s noble face was beaming with laughter.

But without giving Sherry a chance to haggle, he simply ordered the driver to turn around.

So Sherry came back to her senses and was already in front of the sumptuous old mansion, she took out her phone, looked at the time and yawned sleepily.

“You can sleep first if you’re sleepy.”

A voice came from overhead.

Sherry looked over in surprise, right into his face, and had to say, the man’s features were so perfect that after all these years, it was as if Sherry felt something called a racing heart again.

Only, not throbbing.

It’s like visiting an art exhibition and looking twice at a beautiful painting. She did the same with Aaron at first, I guess, except she was young and mistook that feeling for love.

It was a disappointment to have spent so many years of my youth.

With just one glance, Edward could see that there was a story in her eyes.

However, he was cold-natured, rarely curious about what was going on next to him and very good at managing his emotions. His long arm reached out of the car window, went around Sherry’s head, took something from behind and left quickly.

The whole movement was done in one go, without any half-hearted delay.

Silence returned to the car once again, and Sherry’s mind was much calmer because the man’s actions had just given her a very clear indication.

He just thought of her as an extra piece of luggage in the car, a ‘burden’ entrusted to him.

He wouldn’t count her out, unlike Aaron, who could throw her off the bus at any moment.

For some reason Sherry felt sleepier and sleepier, her guard was gradually dropped and she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, thinking she would at least wake up a little when the man got into the car.

But no, she slept all the way to Atlanta.

When she woke up, it was already dawn. Opening her eyes, she found herself still in the car and immediately sat up straight.

There was no one around, the car was parked in the hotel car park, the windows were half open and the air conditioning was on.

There was an extra blanket and a note, “If you’re not awake in two hours, I’ll have the hotel staff come and get you.”

The typeface is elegant, not quite in keeping with the man’s sober, restrained personal style.

Sherry immediately adjusted her thoughts.

Just as I got out of the car, I saw the hotel waiter coming this way.

“Miss. Sherry, Mr. Colin is already upstairs for a meeting, please go ahead and wait in your room, the work you need to complete is on the table.”

Sherry nodded, “Good.”

She had been in and out of such high-end hotels with Aaron before, but always felt that this hotel gave an unusual feeling of quietness, too quiet.

It’s like, a clearing out.

“The upper and lower three floors are all booked by Mr. Colin, so you can rest assured that no one will come and disturb you.” The waiter said so and opened the door to the room.

Sherry pursed her lips, what was this guy’s deal that needed clearing?

But that was nothing to do with her; he helped himself once more, she did what she could to return the favor, and it would be impossible to see him again.

It just didn’t occur to her that the moment she walked into the room, it was already destined to be an entanglement between the two that couldn’t be easily cut short.

The document was easy to understand and only required her, in her capacity as Edward’s personal assistant, to negotiate with the other party to set up a time and place to meet.

It was simple, but required contacting a dozen companies.

Sherry picked up the landline directly from the desk and started calling.

When Edward returned to the room from the meeting, he saw Sherry making the last phone call, and she was very attentive, noting down the general content of each call.

“Yes, I’ll pass it on to Mr. Colin.”

Sherry said, putting the phone down and stretching.

Halfway through her movements, seeing the man standing there, wordlessly, she immediately withdrew her movements and stood up in a hurry, “You finished your meeting?”

“Hmm.”

Edward stepped over, “Done fighting? Then you can go.”
