Chapter 66 Unexpected Client (Part One)

"No matter what happened, you must tell me the truth about who hurt you. You can trust me," said Linda. She placed a hand on Sherry's shoulder, meeting her eyes with a look of sincerity.

Sherry felt a warmth enveloping her heart. It was pleasant to realize that no matter what troubles she went through, there was always someone on her side ready to support her no matter what.

Linda couldn't help her solve her problems, but it was enough for her to be there as her best friend while she was sad.

"Thank you, Linda," Sherry said in a low voice.

Linda leaned forward and put an arm around Sherry's neck. "Don't thank me, Sherry. You're my best friend. I'll stand by your side no matter what."

Sherry nodded and gave her a slight grin. "By the way, since you've been assigned to work with me, you have to take your work very seriously. I'm a really strict manager, you know."

Linda rolled her eyes. "You don't have to remind me what a workaholic you are. Hey, I just read the contracts, and I saw that you have two cases at the same time—one is the Ou Group, and the other is the Song Group. Did Jeremy arrange that on purpose?"

Sherry's smile turned brittle. "You already know the answer. Jeremy always has an ulterior motive for doing things."

Linda was outraged on her best friend's behalf. "Jeremy is way out of line! If he sabotages you at work, you must expose him. Don't sacrifice your career to protect him!" she exclaimed, giving Sherry a ferocious look.

"It's all right," Sherry said with a sigh. "I know how to deal with him."

She now had a very heavy workload.

Sherry had already asked for a few days off. With the deadline approaching, she had barely made any headway with her work. Fortunately, Steve had said she could postpone her deadlines for the Song Group for a few days.

From the moment Sherry joined the company, she had been determined to devote herself to her work. Linda saw how conscientious she was, and admired her very much.

The downtrodden, mousy wife of Jeremy Ou had finally broken free of her small world, and was returning to her roots. Sherry was back, as strong-minded and professiona

burden alone.

Sherry paused and looked up at Linda. "There's nothing to explain."

Before Linda could say anything else, Sherry stood up and began clearing her desk. She said, "Linda, come with me to meet the client."

"Which client?" Linda asked. She was confused as to why her presence was needed.

"The CEO of the Song Group, Steve. He's the partner in charge of this project," Sherry said, beginning to sort through the documents to choose the ones she would take with her to the meeting.

Linda's eyes widened. She said excitedly, "Sure! I'll go get ready."

She grabbed her handbag and hurried to the bathroom..

As soon as Sherry emerged from her office, she found Linda waiting for her by the door.

She glanced at Linda and suppressed a smile, seeing that her friend looked much more beautiful than she had just a few minutes ago. She'd fixed her hair and touched up her make-up, so she looked more sophisticated.

Linda saw Sherry's sideways look and stuck out her tongue at her. "We're going to meet a client, so it's my duty to look as presentable as possible," she said in a whisper, so that no one could overhear.

Sherry and Linda left the office premises together. When they were gone, the members of the team gathered together to ask each other what was going on. They were curious why Sherry had chosen to take only Linda to the important meeting, when she was a newcomer without any qualifications.
