Chapter 28 His Consideration

Chester frowned at the two empty seats beside him.

He noticed that Sherry had been gone for a long time, while on his other side, Jeremy's seat was also notably empty.

He couldn't ignore the worry in his gut, so he stood up and walked out of the room, looking around for the two of them.

However, he was surprised to see Jeremy smirking at him, as he walked towards the washroom.

He looked the same as before, but now, he seemed like his mood had been lifted and a smug smile was firmly on his face.

Chester was about to greet him, but he was surprised for the second time when he saw the woman who was walking behind Jeremy.

Sherry stared at Chester with wide eyes, surprised that he came out after them. She smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Chester's eyes narrowed in suspicion, and he noticed that lips were slightly red and swollen, her hair was a little messy, and there was a lingering embarrassment in her expression.

He glanced at Jeremy once more, and the smug look on the man's face suddenly made sense.

He understood then why the two of them took so long to return.

"Sherry, get ready now. We are going back to the company." He had a small frown on his face, and he failed to mask the disapproval in his voice, so it sounded lower and colder than usual.

But Sherry seemed lost in a daze and didn't realize it.

She nodded, watching helplessly, as Chester walked into the washroom.

She was about to go back when Jeremy rudely pulled her back and said,

"As for that resignation, you'd better do it as soon as possible."

"No way!" Sherry pouted in irritation and rolled her eyes at him.

Jeremy‘s face darkened, but he couldn't do anything more, and he finally let her pass in case anyone else noticed their disappearance.

After the lunch, Chester and Sherry walked out of the hotel together, while Jeremy walked behind them. He could only watch like an outsider, as they walked side by side, and when he looked at Chester, he felt inexplicably disgusted.

"Mr. Ou, we are going first," Chester said to Jeremy when they were ready to leave.

Jeremy nodded at him, and then he cast a casual look at Sherry and replied, "Go ahead."

Beisy opened the car door for Sherry and Chester, said goodbye to Jeremy, and got into the car.

The Land Rover roared away and left Jeremy standing at the gate of the hotel, but he didn't take his eyes off the car until it was just a dark spot on the horizon.

Even when it was gone, he still stood there, feeling bereft, until Barry called his attention from his own vehicle and opened the rear door for him.

"Sir," he called out in greeting, but he immediately noticed that his boss wasn't in a good mood. Since he didn't follow his boss into the hotel, he didn't know what had happened inside, but it was pretty impossible not to notice when it looked like his boss wanted to kill someone.

Meanwhile, inside Chester's car, the atmosphere was filled with tension.

"Sherry, do you know Jeremy?" Chester asked casually like he was just asking carelessly, but the truth was that he was dying of curiosity, and his eyes studied Sherry's reaction carefully.

It was subtle, but he saw how Sherry stiffened minutely and bit her lip in hesitation.

Sherry knew that if she said that she didn't know him, it would be more suspicious, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Yes. Jeremy also graduated from H University, so we've met in the past," Sherry answered vaguely.

"He is a playboy, who is often surrounded by countless women. No woman can stay with him for a long time," Chester told her sagely.

'I know,' she thought.

her mind.

Maggie was the manager of the planning department. She was a very nice lady, and the other employees admired her very much, so if Sherry was recognized by the clients and was promoted as the planning manager, what would Maggie do?

She looked at Chester, but he didn't seem bothered by this at all.

But then, he was the boss and the salary came from his pockets, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Sometimes, the law of the jungle was one of the reasons that employees did not last in an industry.

"What are you saying? Even if I succeed with this particular project, I am still a newcomer who hasn't been in the advertisement industry for three years. Why would you promote me?" Sherry suddenly asked.

He opened another can of beer and handed it to her. "You'll find out someday," he answered cryptically.

She wanted to ask more, but he didn't seem interested in talking about it anymore. The truth was that if not for Sherry's kindness in the past, he would not be the company's CEO now.

At that time, his parents' business went bankrupt and they lost a large sum of money, so they couldn't even afford the tuition of his university at that time.

His mother also fell sick because of all their problems, and they needed a large amount of money for her operation, so in the end, Chester had to drop out of school.

At that time, he thought that he would never know a better life, so he worked everywhere to raise money, and someone advised him to ask the rich for alms.

He did what the man told him. He tried his best, but he still didn't get much money, and when he was finally losing hope, Sherry suddenly appeared.

Sherry funded a large amount of money that helped his family turn their life around, and he was also able to continue studying.

However, it seemed that Sherry didn't know whom she helped, maybe because she didn't care about that money at all, and the help that she gave was such a small thing for her. But for him, that small thing had saved his life.

Sherry sipped her beer, and the cold liquid felt refreshing for her tired body. She gave a happy sigh and asked, "Why did you take me to lunch earlier?"

"You will be my company's chief planner from now on, so it's natural that I take you out to meet them on occasion," he said matter-of-factly.

A capitalist was good at exploiting a person's potential, and there was no doubt that Chester would use her wisely.
