The President’s Stubborn Love

“Secretary Ava, I’m afraid … is late.” Vincent, Ryan’s assistant, reached for his phone and said apologetically, “Why don’t you take the time to come over for a moment, the employee you mentioned has now pissed Ryan off.”

“There’s a meeting over here and Professor Miller simply can’t get away.”

“Then there’s really nothing we can do, Ryan’s temper, as you know, we can’t stop him.” Vincent listened to a few more words from the other side and nodded slowly, “OK, I’ll find a chance to say something.”

Before the call could be disconnected, Secretary Ava heard a loud bellow of anger coming from the phone receiver.

“Get out!”

He almost dropped his phone in shock, stroked his framed glasses, thought left and right, and called an old acquaintance of Professor Miller, the only person who could keep Ryan in check better than the Garcia Family.

And at that moment, Ryan grinned ploddingly, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, his voice cool and cruel, “Say what you just said again, if you dare.”

Everyone around the room drew a backward breath and looked at Sherry with pitying sympathy.

If she messes with Ryan, her life will be in danger.

Unbeknownst to Sherry, who had been with Aaron for so long, this sense of oppression was so trivial that the angrier the man in front of her became, the more calm Sherry’s expression became.

Rather than trying to tame a raging lion, it would be easier to do the opposite and let him vent all his anger, in one fell swoop.

And in terms of strength in this aspect of torture, Ryan doesn’t seem to be in the same league as Aaron at all.

Gradually, Ryan could see the contempt in Sherry’s eyes for him too, and his crossed brow furrowed more tightly, “You talk, mute?”

“Ryan’s not done being mad, it’s not my turn to explain.” Sherry blinked and followed his words down the line, “I did hit someone, but the cause and effect, did anyone tell you that? I acted in self-defense.”

“Nice self-defense, you hit someone on my turf and have such a strong backbone.” Ryan looked at Sherry’s pretty face and his eyes grew dangerous, “Whoever recruited her into the company, fire her immediately.”

Amity was beside herself in a cold sweat, “Ryan, this thing …”

“What’s the matter, I can’t move her yet?” Ryan kicked over the coffee table with a loud thud.

Some of the staff are no longer afraid to look at it.

It was Sherry who ducked and bumped her ankle, and she frowned, still expressionless.

“Look at that, isn’t she mocking me? Thought I …”

“Mr. Edward!”

Ryan was still throwing a tantrum over there when someone shouted so, and the crowd looked over at the sound, Edward’s deep gaze landed on a few people, circled around, and looked back at Ryan.

The people at the company had heard that their biggest nemesis in Ryan’s life was Edward.

From a young age, Ryan wanted to compete with Edward in everything he did, but he was too young and too late in the game to compete with Edward in everything he did.

Besides, only Edward can cure his stinky temper of standing up for himself.

“What are you doing here?” Ryan gave him a blank look, “My uncle said you were going back to Seattle.”

“Something came up and I was delayed.” The man’s voice was cold, his suit trousers lifted and he sat down on the sofa, when he looked at Sherry again, his eyes did not have half a ripple, as if the two were meeting for the first time, “You still have to do something as trivial as training the staff yourself?”

Sherry lowered her eyes and stood there very quietly.

Edward asked this and took Ryan’s mind.

He grunted and leaned back on the sofa, somewhat smugly, “It can’t be helped, the future of the Garcia Family rests on my shoulders, how am I going to snatch the market away from your Colin family if I don’t put in some effort.”

The next second, he looked at Sherry with a more stern look, “Amity, dismiss this woman immediately.”

“Ryan, she, she’s …”

Amity was about to tell the truth when the assistant manager came along and said, “She used to be Mr. Swift’s mistress at Night Group and was just kicked out a while ago, so Amity is probably worried that if we sack her, it will lead to retaliation.”

“…”

The assistant manager thought he was killing two birds with one stone, driving Sherry away and being sarcastic about Amity at the same time.

“Aaron?”

Ryan sized up Sherry, his gaze direct, just examining the truth of the statement.

Edward, on the contrary, frowned at the words.

She’s the woman who made Aaron and Andrew, who had a big fight at the engagement party, get into his car in a panic that day.

For a moment, he looked at Sherry with a slightly mixed gaze.

Sherry’s body stiffened at the word Aaron, her hand clenched in her palm as she gritted her teeth and said, “Have you seen enough?”

Ryan cut in and was about to say something else.

Sherry said, “You don’t have to fire me, I quit, and I don’t want to stay in this mess.”

“Stop right there!”

Ryan’s eyes were rounded, and if he looked at Seattle, there was no other family’s daughter who dared to talk to him like that.

This woman doesn’t want to live, does she?

Sherry really did turn around at the sound of her voice, but those eyes were as cold as they could be, with no trace of supplication or humility to be seen, and she was not willing to be the plaything of the so-called upper class again.

“Our company still needs a translator for business, considering?” Edward suddenly spoke, his eyes were looking at Sherry in invitation but his voice was devoid of any emotion.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Ryan was furious, “You had to go along with the confrontation? What’s the deal with you having to bring people I’ve sacked into the company.”

At least, they were half-relatives, and Edward was too disrespectful to him.

Sherry didn’t react even when she heard that.

Why say such things when Edward was intent on treating her like a stranger.

“To go or not to go, at your word.” Edward suddenly stood up, his tall figure standing in front of Sherry, his thin lips slowly hooked into a disdainful smile, “Or do you not dare?”

There is nothing daring about it.

But Sherry just found the look on his face in that moment incredible, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in his mind.

Only, the atmosphere has changed.

Sherry didn’t hesitate and jumped at the opportunity, “Go, it’s definitely better than his company.”

“Stand still.”

Ryan got even angrier, “I’ll give you a promotion and double your salary.”

Edward wants to steal from him, but he won’t go along with their wishes.

Edward’s back was to Ryan at the moment, Ryan couldn’t see what expression he was making, but Sherry was standing opposite him and could see clearly that this man, clearly, was doing it on purpose.

His handsome, deep face was zingy with laughter and his voice sank a little, “I’ll pay three times as much.”

“I’ll let bygones be bygones for today and give you a car.” Ryan instantly pulled out his car keys and slammed them on the table, “Take your pick.”

In a nutshell, he just couldn’t let Edward snatch someone from under his nose.

Edward raised an eyebrow, gauging Sherry’s expression as if to confirm something, half-heartedly, and oh-so-lost, “Fine then, no more snatching from you.”

Sherry was all confused.

Not only did she keep her job, she got a promotion and a pay rise.

As Edward left, Sherry chased him to the car park, “Mr. Edward, can I ask, why did you do that?”
