Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
She could hear the shower from outside and she fell into her thoughts.
"Why did he do that? Why didn't he just sleep on the sofa?" Why did he have to put himself in harm's way just to climb through the window?
He did all that just to hold me in his sleep?" He had done quite a lot of odd things recently, she thought.
The doorbell suddenly rang so she got out of her head and quickly changed. She rushed to open the door and saw Barry standing outside.
"Good morning, Mrs. Ou." Barry had always been very respectful, always standing straight with a smile on his face.
"Morning. It's so early. Why are you here? What's the matter?" she asked with a dull look on her face.
"Here are the two new phones the boss asked me to get. I also placed new phone cards inside each of them," Barry replied.
Sherry snapped out of it and took the phones from him. "Thank you," she said with a smile. "Please come inside and have a seat. I'll make some coffee for you."
"Oh, I need to head to the office now. No need to bother yourself Mrs. Xu," he nicely declined.
Barry waved goodbye and headed to the elevator.Sherry closed the door and went back to the living room holding the two phones.By this time, Jeremy had already gotten out of the shower and saw her holding the phones.

In her head, she was thinking of how embarrassing this will be for her. She was new to head office, and now she might just be the talk to the town if her colleagues saw her.
"No," he replied firmly. "This is the only way." There was firmness in his voice. His warm breath sprayed on her forehead, which made her feel itchy.
"Aright! Please just say it quickly and let go of me already," Sherry replied in a hurry. She was getting impatient.
"You have two days to quit your job." Jeremy's deep and sexy voice resonated inside Sherry's head and it made her angry.
He'd said this too many times and she certainly had enough of it."In your dreams!" she blurted out.
Jeremy hadn't let her go yet, and he held her even closer as he whispered into her ear, "If you don't do this, I will make sure everyone knows that we have a relationship."
