Chapter 177 – Seeing him again
When Sherry was thrown into the high-end dress shop, Ryan said she was only given fifteen minutes.
Before she could say anything, she was already being led into the dressing room by the shop assistant.
“Miss, this strapless dress suits you perfectly.”
Sherry looked in the mirror, her body outlined in sexy curves, the large red fishtail hemline making her shake her head, “It doesn’t fit.”
She was acting as Ryan’s assistant, accompanying him to a function, and dressed like this? Wouldn’t everyone think she was trying to seduce him.
Sherry didn’t feel right, and Ryan’s impatient voice was already coming from outside.
“Is it ready yet?”
The shop assistant looked at Sherry expectantly, “Miss, this dress really suits you, just this one, no one else really wears you like this.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
A cool white skin like Sherry’s tall and exceptionally curvaceous figure is really a great beauty that is instantly recognizable in a crowd.
It’s just a flashy and dazzling style that she hasn’t tried in a long time.
“I …”
Sherry was about to say something else when Ryan outside had already gotten into the car.
She had to improvise by grabbing a shawl, the white fox fleece just enough to keep out her pale collarbones, her long black hair was pulled back casually, and as soon as she walked out, she felt the stunned stares of the shop assistants.
“How much is it?”
The manager replied in a warm voice, “Miss, Mr. Ryan has already settled the bill.”
She hurried out the door and a small surprise swept across Ryan’s eyes, but it was satisfying, “Drive.”
Sherry didn’t know at this time that she would meet Edward again tonight.
On the way, Ryan tells her that she has a more important role to play in this evening’s event, which is to play the daughter of his company’s partner.
“Me?”
Sherry hesitated, she really didn’t have much ability in this area.
“Can’t do it?”
Ryan showed a bit of danger in his voice, “Uncle specifically asked me to transfer you to Seattle HQ, Sherry, you can’t deliver what you’re worth, so what makes you worthy of staying in this position?”
Sherry’s throat lurched.
Her fingertips clasped her palm, she had really had enough of the past few years, when would she ever turn over a new leaf if she didn’t take this chance!
So when Ryan got out of the car with a cold face, she didn’t hesitate and pushed the door open straight away.
Red lips opened and closed and called out to him.
“Mr. Ryan, can you hold me up for a second?”
The car was parked right in front of the hotel, but no celebrity girl was walking down by herself.
Ryan’s gangly eyebrows lifted upwards, and wearing a smile he turned around and held out his hand, “Yes.”
Sherry reached out and put her hand in his.
The two walked into the hotel side by side, drawing countless stares; after all, Sherry was wearing a dress that was so eye-catching tonight and standing next to Ryan that everyone was speculating about her identity.
“Is it Master Garcia Family’s new girlfriend?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Ryan is married and is the eldest Miss Charles Family, this … has never been seen before, but she has a great temperament and is cool and pretty, more beautiful than an actress.”
“So what the hell is she …”
Satisfied with the crowd’s reaction, Ryan stepped into the lift while whispering specific information about Sherry’s lady friend.
“Returned MD, rarely shows up in public, so you don’t have to worry about showing your face, unmarried, no boyfriend, all you need to do is tell everyone that you are her and will work well with our company, remember?”
This is not a difficult request, but it is not easy either.
Sherry took careful note and followed Ryan out of the lift, unable to help but follow him.
Still Ryan frowned and waited for her for a few seconds.
“I’m sorry.”
Sherry saw the warning in his eyes and instantly quickened her pace, moving further towards the door to meet someone with a rare smile on his stern, cold face, clutching a champagne glass and casually joking with the girl beside him.
The girl looked at him with adoration and stars in her eyes, and anyone could see that they had a great relationship.
Sherry’s heart missed by half a beat.
Suddenly it occurred to me, from what I had heard earlier, that Edward was the future son-in-law of the Garcia Family, so this girl, then, must be Ryan’s relative.
The man is talented and the woman is a good match.
A flash of emotion crossed Sherry’s mind that even she couldn’t distinguish, but it was quickly, suppressed by her mission for the night.
“Ryan!”
The girl shouted in a delicate drop, raising her hand and shaking it, “I heard Edward say you were coming and have been waiting to see you.”
She was cute looking, cocked her head and pouted, and finished by looking at Sherry beside Ryan, a hint of jealousy well concealed by her.
She said in a delicate voice, “And this is?”
Three words that take ten turns.
But that kind of dainty look is what men like, right?
Sherry just stood there and didn’t say anything.
Ryan coughed and offered an introduction, “This is Valentin Pharmacy’s daughter-in-law, Sunny Valentin.”
The girl froze instantly, “So it’s you.”
Sherry noticed a change in the way the other woman looked at her, and everyone around her looked at her differently when they heard the name calling.
She reacted immediately.
Ryan didn’t tell her all the information.
Including, why Edward hooked a rakish grin in front of him.
The girl blinked and glanced at Edward’s face next to her, not seeing any reaction from him, she mentally sighed in soft relief and took the initiative to walk towards Sherry.
Holding out her hand, she said in a pretty voice, “Miss Sunny, I finally got a chance to meet you in person, I’ve heard so much about you.”
The faint glint of hostility under her eyes was not missed by Sherry.
This girl, she has a grudge against Sunny?
Sherry looked at her outstretched hand and didn’t say anything in response.
The scene became awkward then.
Sherry also felt the stares of the people around her at the same time, but she remained calm and cool, ignoring them and lifting her chin slightly upwards, looking first, first at Ryan.
She was waiting for him to make an introduction.
It took a while to know what I was going to do with this girl.
And from what she understood, Sunny was a returned female doctor and rarely attended such functions, and from what she heard from this girl, she had only heard about it before and had never met her.
Then she simply does not need to respond enthusiastically to such a person’s overtures of affection.
What’s more, the man harbored a little animosity towards her.
Sherry captures this persona and her eyes grow high and cold, and with her dress, her aura is eye-catching and dazzling.
All of a sudden, the girl was lined with even more embarrassment.
Because compared to Sherry at this point, her cuteness and delicacy is nothing.
At the same time, Edward’s inky eyes took in Sherry’s reaction, his thin lips hooked, the champagne glass in his hand dropped on the table, and he suddenly took a half step forward, blocking Sherry.
“Talk to me.”
He said, his gaze incomparably deep, “I have a lot to say to you, alone, after not seeing you for so long.”
With her?
With Sunny!
Sherry was then taken away by Edward in full view of everyone.
