The President’s Stubborn Love

Perhaps Sherry’s words were too strong, and the slightest hint of ambiguity that had surfaced between them disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Edward also looked as if he had instantly lost interest, his eyes full of detachment.

He stopped mentioning anything about last night, much less continuing the conversation.

Sherry felt embarrassed too, clutching the glass of water in her hand and lowering her head until it was fully light and her feet were numb from sitting, then she looked up again to see Edward standing up and heading out the door.

He lifted the tent, inclined his face sideways and said, “What you’ve seen here, you’ll pretend it never happened, remember?”

He did not want this particular layer of identity to come to light.

Sherry was about to nod when he added coldly, “And I don’t think we’ll see each other again, you’ve forgotten what I said last night.”

He was the one who was going to start a certain relationship, and after a few sarcastic remarks from Sherry, he gave up decisively.

It’s true, it’s only a few meetings, can she turn out to be his true love?

It was only Sherry who felt sarcastic and ridiculous to herself, and after watching his figure disappear, the sound of a car came from outside, presumably someone had come to pick him up.

Sherry didn’t move until the sounds outside had completely disappeared.

She sat for another ten minutes before knocking on her tingling legs and slowly getting up to walk out the door.

I don’t know if it was too dark last night, or if she was hallucinating, but apart from the tent she was in at the moment, there was only a forest and grass outside, with insects and birds chirping, just no one.

The car she drove up in was parked a short distance away.

Without hesitation, Sherry immediately ran past, stepped on the gas and drove far back to the provincial road, heading straight for the city.

She hurried back to the office just in time to run into the gun again.

Ryan is in a temper in his office because he has to stay behind to deal with the project because it is not to his liking and has been rejected several times.

“The company pays a salary to feed a bunch of stupid pigs like you?”

He was so angry that his face sank.

“If we don’t negotiate this case again by the end of the day tonight, all of you, get the hell out of here.”

As he turned to walk towards his office, he happened to see Sherry.

“So do you.”

He is not a boss who will be soft-hearted.

The door closed and everyone breathed a quiet sigh of relief, but each sat at their work stations and whispered, “Why is Ryan so angry today?”

“The program has been changed eight times, how many more times do we have to change it!”

“Isn’t there anything else you can do?”

They murmured, with some eyes falling far away from Sherry, whose success in setting up that director last time had long been no secret.

This time, Amity couldn’t even sit still.

“Sherry, come to my office for a moment.”

As soon as he got inside, Amity told him what had happened, “You should have seen Ryan’s temper, if this is not resolved properly, it will not be easy for everyone.

Amity said, glancing out and lowering her voice, “Besides, getting you inducted was specifically ordered by Professor Miller, and I can’t let you lose your job, or else there’s really no way to account for it.”

It is possible to hear a bit of blackmail in these words.

Sherry needs money and she needs work more desperately than anyone else.

She looked down at the proposal with a bitter smile on her face, “Amity, you think too highly of me, I just happened to get it done last time, this case is not within my area of expertise.”

The last bit of hope in Amity’s eyes was gone.

“I can try, though, to keep Ryan from getting so angry.”

“Really?” Amity looked at her suspiciously, “What a way!”

Half an hour later.

The whole office was noisy.

Almost every employee was on the phone, the sound penetrating even the soundproof glass of the office, making it impossible for Ryan to concentrate on his work.

He rushed out in a fury.

But before I could scold anyone, I saw everyone in the office, contacting business and being enthusiastic and glowing.

There were even collaborators invited to the parlor.

For a while, even he couldn’t lose his temper.

“What’s going on here?” He beckoned to his secretary and ground out a harsh sentence.

The secretary hurriedly said what she had prepared to say, “Ryan, we’re not sure, it’s just that a partner said they were interested in the new project and wanted to come and find out more.”

Ryan wrinkled his brow and grimly grunted, then closed the door.

This lively working atmosphere continues well into the evening.

After closing time, no one said they were leaving work and they all continued to work. Ryan watched as Amity sent off the two renewed partners and brought him the contracts to look over.

Ryan looked at the contract pressed to the table and sneered back, “Playing sound bites with me?”

Amity smiled awkwardly, “This …”

“Say, whose idea was it.” Ryan signed with a cold face, but as he asked the question, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that he wasn’t as angry as he had been that morning.

Amity didn’t answer, trying to muddle through like a lump.

But one look from Ryan and he was so flustered that he just gave Sherry up.

Then Sherry was called into the office.

She didn’t think Amity would help her hide it, and met Ryan’s sizing eyes quite openly, having to say that after dealing with Aaron, it was too unchallenging to look at a player of Ryan’s caliber again.

Whatever he asked, Sherry faced it with aplomb.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

After a few confrontations, Ryan was unable to find a reason to go after her.

He suddenly slammed the contract down on the table, “You and Edward, you knew each other before?”

The sudden mention of this person caught Sherry a little off guard.

“I don’t quite understand what Ryan means.”

Ryan seemed to be muttering, “Just as hateful.”

Since he was a child, Edward had been his imaginary rival, as they were of similar age, and only because Edward was the eldest son of the family, he had joined the company a few years earlier, and was able to keep up with Ryan in every way.

Ryan has suffered many losses at his hands.

Sherry’s behavior reminds him inexplicably of Edward’s, outwardly calm and quiet, but behind the scenes, full of tricks.

He is also a meticulous thinker who is able to keep a tight rein on the situation so that no one can catch him.

Staring at Sherry’s face, Ryan suddenly thought of something, “Just in time, to see him off tonight, you’re coming with me.”

Sherry instantly backed up, “Ryan, it’s after hours.”

“No?” Ryan yanked off his suit jacket and eyed him threateningly, “Then no one in your department will have to come to work tomorrow.”

“…”

Sherry ended up having to act as Ryan’s driver again, driving him to the evening’s gathering.

If she had known she would meet Aaron there, she would never have gone.
