Chapter 51 Playing Victim (Part Two)

"I don't need you to tell me that!" Jessie snorted.

'What a stupid woman!' Sherry thought to herself. She almost chuckled to herself. Did Jessie really think she could barge in here like this and expect to get Jeremy?

"Since you're here to teach me a lesson, I shall tell you something as well. Keep an eye on Jeremy and make sure that he spends time on you. That way, he won't come and annoy me.

Otherwise, he'll do something strange to embarrass me.

I don't want a trouble like him in my life!" Sherry spat.

"Don't think too highly of yourself! You're such a pathetic woman. That's the only reason why Jeremy took you to the hospital," Jessie retorted. She wasn't back down, especially not in front of Sherry.

"No, I'm not interested in anything you say. Why don't you just try harder next time? Well, when you act like a victim, don't get discovered by Jeremy. You can't let him find out you're just pretending. He hates women who pretend the most,"

Sherry snidely responded. She wasn't going to let Jessie have the last word.

It took a while before Jessie realized what Sherry had implied with her statement. Sherry had used the word 'pretended'. Upon realization, Jessie's face turned red. 'How could she?' she thought to herself. She came here to mock Sherry and here Sherry was openly mocking her.

"Let me repeat your own words to you. Be careful in playing the victim. Make sure no one sees through your scheme!" Jessie said viciously, glaring at Sherry. She couldn't just let Sherry win.

"Same to you," Sherry snapped, sneering. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Jessie widened her eyes. She opened her mouth, ready to retort but suddenly, the door flew open. Startled, she looked back to see who had just entered.

When the nurse came in, she briefly seemed surprised. Once she'd recovered, she smiled at Jessie thinking she was Sherry's guest.

The nurse entered the ward. "It's time to take your medicine," the nurse said.

Sherry smiled back. "Okay." She was thankful that the nurse came in just as Jessie was getting on her last nerve.

Sherry's tone when she spoke to the nurse was completely different from the tone she had b

.

"Sir," Barry said anxiously.

"I have something urgent to deal with too. We can have the meeting tomorrow," Jeremy said coldly. He couldn't possibly wait another two hours while Sherry was in the hospital waiting for him.

"But sir, we've been working so hard on this case for so long. Mr. Wu looked through tons of proposals from other companies before finally deciding on us. If we give this deal up, we'll suffer a great loss. Not to mention how many companies would jump at the chance to steal the deal from us," one of the senior executives of the company argued.

This only angered Jeremy further. Casting a sharp glance at everyone, he hissed, "I said I'm postponing it!"

With that, Jeremy turned around and strode out of the meeting room. He needed to be with Sherry right away.

Barry quickly followed behind him. He pleaded, "Sir, please give this more thought." He desperately did not want to lose this deal.

Jeremy ignored Barry as he continued to head towards the elevator. When he stepped in, his face was blank, still not looking at Barry.

Barry stared blankly at the elevator as it closed its doors. He didn't expect this and he certainly was not prepared for it. He had no idea what was going on with Jeremy.

He'd known Jeremy to be one of the most hardworking people in the company. He was very passionate and always prioritized work above anything else.

What Jeremy did today was completely out of character.
