Chapter 37 Being Caught In Bed (Part One)

Sherry trembled with fear at the thought.

Steve frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "It doesn't matter. You can be my female partner, and still, represent the company."

"No, you don't understand. It's a big news who your female partner is, and I don't want to be the center of gossip. I don't want everyone to misunderstand me."

She shook her head in dismay and fear, for all she wanted now was to excel in her job and work hard, and she wanted to work for the things she needed with her ability, and not because it was provided by any other man.

If she became his female partner, she would be the hottest topic in the city.

Suddenly, she remembered that Jeremy was likely to attend the party on account of their friendship.

Of course, she was no longer afraid of Jeremy, and she didn't care about what he thought of her, but she was so tired of all the drama, and she just wanted to avoid all the trouble that being with either of them brought.

Steve was not willing to give up at all, but when he saw how determined Sherry was, he knew that he had no chance at that moment. He told himself that it was more important to make sure she attended his birthday party.

As long as she didn't reject him directly, he was confident that he would conquer her heart, sooner or later!

"Well, since you are so determined, I won't force you, but you have to come on that day!" Steve compromised, although there were still traces of disappointment in his voice.

And when Sherry heard this, she sighed in relief like a thorn had been plucked from her side. She was worried that Steve would force her just like Jeremy was fond of doing, as her rejection had basically humiliated him. Thankfully, that reason was enough for him.

"Well, let's continue to talk about the advertising plan!" said Sherry lightly, picking up a pen on the table.

She almost groaned out loud, as she said this, because she felt sick from all the durian she had eaten, and she was on the verge of throwing up. She wanted to finish this business with Steve so that she could finally rest.

Meanwhile, Steve w

her home.

When they were settled inside the car, Jeffery helped her freshen up with a packet of wet wipes, which he tenderly wiped her lips and cheeks with.

"What happened?" Jeffery asked softly.

Sherry felt weak at that moment. She knew that she shouldn't rely on Jeffery too much, but he felt so good against her, and his wide shoulders made her feel safe. At that moment, leaning on him, she felt so much better.

"I was tricked by a big client during a lunch meeting." She smiled bitterly, as she spoke, remembering the hellish food that she just had.

"Who? It's disgusting to trick woman!" Jeffery exclaimed angrily, and Sherry could not help but feel touched. 'So, he does care about me,' she thought with a small smile.

"He invited me to lunch, saying that he was going to talk business with me, but he just kept flirting with me! And I hate durian the most, but most of the things he ordered had it as the main ingredient. It was so disgusting." Sherry frowned, and a phantom pain hit her stomach once again, as she remembered the things she was forced to eat.

Meanwhile, Jeffery felt bad to see her in pain, and he had to actively restrain himself from touching her. The pout on her face and the sweet fragrance of her hair made it very hard.

He tried to focus on their conversation and tried to forget how near she was, how a small movement could drag her into his arms.
