Chapter 68 He's Recovered

Steve drank his tea leisurely. Sherry looked out of the window while they both sat awkwardly in silence.

'If you're really heart set on doing this, I'll definitely tell Linda why you actually want to ask her out for dinner," Sherry said after what felt like an age, breaking the silence.

In Sherry's mind, she thought that it'd be in Linda's best interests if she knew what Steve really wanted. Sherry was worried though that Linda would be disheartened if she knew the truth.

Steve nodded and said, "Okay. Tell her the truth, then I will genuinely pursue her."

"Steve!" Sherry was so infuriated that she couldn't help but shout.

"Even if you do tell her that I'm just using her and I only see her because of you, she'd never believe you. Even worse is that your friendship will probably be over,"

said Steve with an arrogant smile.

Sherry had never been so annoyed by Steve.

However, in Steve's mind, he thought Sherry was being unreasonably stubborn.

"Only an idiot would believe you," Steve further added.

Sherry was fuming. She got annoyed at Steve in the past but she never really hated him. As long she didn't want to do something, Steve couldn't force her.

But now, Sherry was really beginning to despise him. She knew he wasn't kidding.

He was saying whatever he could to get what he wanted!

"What the hell do you want from me to let her off?" questioned Sherry coldly.

Steve leaned forward and looked into Sherry's fiery eyes. "It's easy. When I call you later, don't make any excuses not to come."

"I'm too busy to go out with you," Sherry refuted immediately.

If She went out with Steve every day, she wouldn't get a second to work.

"Don't reject me when you're free. Or else, I'll just go find Linda then."

Sherry kept silent for a few seconds, sighed and helplessly nodded.

The war in the business world was complicated, but the emotional world was much more intense.

Sherry was way too conflicted now. She'd become something of a hot property with all the male interest that she had been getting. It was best if she just hid her emotion to avoid getting hurt.

The more she repressed all emotion, the more attention she seemed to get.

Sherry was completely clueless as to when Steve started liking her.

She'd been hurt too many times so she wasn't going to let Linda, her good friend, get wounded for love.

Steve was inexplicably psychotic. Sherry could only imagine how many unsuspecting women fell into his traps.

'I can't let anyone hurt Linda!'

Sherry told herself in her heart as she gradually clenched her fists.

The office door was opened with Linda striding in.

Raising her head, Sherry saw Linda having fixed her make-up. The elegant and radiant beauty of Linda made Sherry feel upset.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," said Linda apologetically, sitting down.

"Don't worry about it. It's my duty to wait for a beautiful woman like you," said Steve, not bothered.

Sherry scowled at Steve coldly.

Sensing her gaze, Steve looked away. He seemed to have forgotten his promise from a moment ago.

As Steve cut his steak, his hand shook. A piece of steak escaped him and fell on Linda's clothes.

Linda wore a new, black lace skirt to the office.

d be there till the mall closed.

"Steve, Linda can go back with me," said Sherry, as she forced Linda into a taxi.

Steve frowned and said, "Okay. You two take care and call me if anything happens."

"Okay, sure." Sherry closed the door of the car impatiently and asked the driver to drive away quickly.

A big smile spread across Linda's face from ear to ear. Sherry couldn't help but notice her enormous smile.

Sherry was afraid that the silly woman would fall in love with Steve. It was truly ridiculous for Steve to force Sherry like this!

Linda didn't think so at all. She just thought that time flew by and there was barely any time to talk to Steve.

Linda thought that Steve absolutely adored her. She had heard that if a man had liked a woman, he would love everything about her. That was why Steve was nice to her best friend too!

After driving Linda home, Sherry went back to her apartment, put those bags into the room, changed into a dress and went out of the door.

Sherry looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was already half past nine. It was so tiring shopping with those people. Jeremy was probably going to complain about how late she was going to get to the hospital.

Fortunately, there was no traffic on the road and she arrived quickly at the hospital.

As soon as she arrived, she saw the open door to the ward. She was about to enter the ward when she heard the conversation inside.

"You are fit to leave the hospital. How much longer do you want to stay here?" The voice sounded slightly older, as if it was from his attending doctor.

"A few days more!" Jeremy replied casually.

"There are a lot of things to handle in your company. Are you sure you can handle them from the hospital?"

"Sometimes you have to make sacrifices," Jeremy said meaningfully. Sherry frowned and wondered what his plan was.

"Hehe! How about removing your cast? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"You know it! Hurry up and put it on. Sherry will be here soon."

Sherry still hadn't entered the ward but instead listened to this damning conversation.

From their conversation, it seemed that Jeremy had recovered some time ago!
