The President’s Stubborn Love

The next morning, the first thing Aaron did when he arrived at work was to ask Eral to check the company’s CCTV footage from yesterday, “Who else came back to the office after closing time last night.”

“Mr. Swift, yesterday happened to be the end of the month and the security footage has been sent to the archives, so the earliest we’ll know is tomorrow.”

“Okay, tomorrow then.”

Aaron flipped through the papers and glanced coldly out the blinds just as Sherry walked past, clutching a large stack of papers in her hands.

His eyes sank a few notches.

After signing it, he said in passing, “Don’t let her hang around me, send her to help with the planning A team.”

Eral froze and immediately said, “I understand, Mr. Swift.”

There was a lot of resentment when Sherry was originally parachuted into the assistant position, with the office trying to toss her around in every way possible.

She was instructed to change water, do odd jobs and was made to carry boxes of documents to the filing room.

With this order, Aaron sort of did her a favor by allowing her to go to the planning team and learn a few things, and the move took Sherry from being the redhead Aaron was particularly lenient with to being the vixen on the bench.

Almost everyone in the office was whispering behind their backs.

“By the look of her, I don’t think she had time to get carried away before Mr. Swift gave her the cold shoulder.”

“I told you, there’s no way Mr. Swift would leave the Garcia Family’s golden girl behind for a vixen like her.

These are words that Sherry hears all the time.

When she looked over, the men would again act as if nothing had happened.

With nothing to do during her breaks, Sherry wandered around and sometimes went downstairs to the messenger room to read the newspaper, and soon became acquainted with the ‘lower level’ staff at Night Group.

For example, Carol, who cleans the corridors, and Paul, who collects and delivers the newspapers.

They all liked Sherry and thought the girl was responsible and caring, unlike the girls upstairs who wore fake name tags.

Sherry had nowhere to go during her lunch break, so she joined Carol for lunch around the corner in the corridor. The staff restaurant was on the first floor, but she didn’t want to go there, she would be sarcastic and she didn’t want to suffer that.

Carol sat on the small balcony seat and expertly opened two cups of coffee as she greeted Sherry over, “Here Sherry, this one’s on Carol, and I’ve added an extra egg especially for you.”

“Thanks Carol, I told you, no one in the company but you would know such a nice place with a great view and few people.”

“You’re the only one with a sweet mouth.”

Carol really liked Sherry and thought she was pretty and had an okay personality.

“Sherry, do you have a boyfriend now?”

Sherry shook her head, could she find a boyfriend in her current state?

Aaron won’t let her go until she finds proof and clears herself, and as soon as she has a slightly better time, the man will definitely pull her through hell again.

In his eyes, Sherry doesn’t even deserve to live in this world.

If it were not for the fact that torturing her was still so much fun for him, only she would have been out of this world long ago.

“How can that be, are all those boys blind?” Carol wrinkled her nose, “But it’s true that the quality of the boys in this company isn’t very high.”

Sherry was amused by Carol’s serious look.

“Well, I think so too.”

After the two of them finished eating, Carol had to take a break to clean the bathroom, leaving Sherry alone to deal with the paper cups and lunch boxes.

“Just throw it in the bin on that corner on the eighth floor, it’s very close.”

Sherry took Carol’s words to heart and headed in that direction with her rubbish bag.

Just as I turned the corner, I heard the sound of two people talking from the back of the lift.

Sherry swore she really didn’t mean to listen, but no one was even over here at this hour and those two were talking without a care in the world.

“Make sure you’re careful this time, Islene’s been moved to a branch and she’s a bit less in that part.”

Sherry slowed to a halt at the sound of Islene’s name.

Another man laughed dismissively, “It’s okay, it’s been so long, no one has even noticed.”

Later they said something else, but it got further and further away and Sherry couldn’t really hear it.

She inclined her head sideways and saw the side of one of the men’s faces.

Sherry made a secret note of it.

Back at Carol’s, side-tracked and asked where the finance department was located in that direction.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Sherry ah, are you interested in any of the handsome young men in their department? I can help you …”

“Carol, don’t be ridiculous, I was just asking around, I’ll hurry to the office.” Sherry smiled and interrupted, but instead of going straight back to the office, she went around to the finance department.

On a hunch, Sherry waited there for only a little while before she saw the male employee from noon, wearing a tie and handsome, but with a grim look in his eyes.

Makes for a very uncomfortable experience.

“Who are you looking for?”

The man felt Sherry’s gaze and walked right out, “You’re not an employee of the finance department!”

Sherry was stunned for a moment, then waved her pre-prepared employee card in front of him.

“It was Eral who sent me.”

As soon as he heard the word Eral, the man’s expression eased considerably, “What’s up?”

Sherry looked at the other man quietly, “Do I have to report to you?”

Having said that, he walked boldly into the Finance Department.

The man stared at her back and sneered as he entered his office.

It was that moment of brushing shoulders that Sherry saw the other person’s position.

Jefferson, Deputy Finance Manager.

Sherry immediately found a corner and searched for this person’s name on the company’s internal website, but before she could press the search button, an icy voice rang out from above her head.

“What are you doing during work hours?”

Bam.

Sherry was caught off guard.

The phone landed on the ground in response to the sound, rolling forward twice before knocking against the steps.

“Sorry, Mr. Swift, I thought it was still break time.” Sherry laughed dryly as she shifted her feet and tried to cover her phone screen.

But how could she have escaped Aaron’s attention with that little gesture?

“Take it out.”

His eyes were cold as he looked at the pretty face in front of him.

Sherry snapped her phone and whispered, “It’s personal.”

But as soon as the words landed, her phone was snatched away from her by the man in front of her, “Not sure what your own status is? You have no privacy in front of me.”

Sherry gritted her teeth hard, “Yes, Mr. Swift is right.”

She just thought there was something wrong with the conversation between those two men and wanted to check it out.

I didn’t expect Aaron to show up here out of the blue.

She didn’t say it, but he flung out coldly as if he could read minds, “Night Group is my company.”

“…”

OK, he’s right.
