Chapter 74 Tit For Tat

Sherry spent the entire day being tortured by Steve's constant badgering. She was only able to relax when Steve had a meeting. By then, she had already broken out into a cold sweat.

When the flood of messages from Steve finally stopped, she suddenly received a call from Jeremy.

"Hello, what's up?" When Sherry spoke, she sounded tired.

Upon hearing this, Jeremy said in a tender voice, "You're about to get off work so I'm picking you up for dinner in a while."

"I... Hello? Jeremy?"

Sherry stared at her phone, not knowing what to do. He didn't even wait for her to respond before hanging up.

She wasn't going to refuse the invitation anyway. Why did he have to hang up so quickly?

Meanwhile, at home, Jeremy had already bought food and put them in the fridge. He changed into a new suit and fixed his hair for a bit. Once he was sure that everything was ready, he grabbed the car keys and headed out.

He had been learning how to cook for a long time. Tonight, he was finally going to get to show off his cooking skills to Sherry. He just wanted her to be moved.

After work, Linda packed her things and waited for everyone to leave before going to the elevator.

When everyone had left, she got on the elevator.

When Linda got out of the elevator, a man had been walking towards her. She carelessly got her heels stuck in the gap of the elevator, nearly falling down.

Falling into a broad and warm embrace, she clutched the man's chest for support and apologized, "I'm sorry!"

She raised her head and was met with a handsome face.

Steve didn't expect her to be Linda as he stared at her blankly for a few seconds.

"Mr. Song!" she exclaimed.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, she realized her shoe was still stuck in the gap of the elevator.

She frowned and lifted her foot with difficulty. Suddenly, Steve said, "Let me help you. Take off your shoe."

Linda felt embarrassed but still took off her shoe obediently. Steve bent over and pulled out the heels, exerting a little bit of strength.

Unable to regain her balance, she placed her hands on his shoulder for support as she looked up at him, her heart beating a mile a minute.

"All right." "Mr. Song, it's been a while since we last saw each other. Did you come here for me?" she asked in surprise as she put her shoe back on.

Steve blinked and spoke vaguely, "Yeah...."

"Do you want to have dinner together?" asked Linda.

Steve smiled awkwardly as the look on his face shifted. He took out his phone from his pocket and said, "I'm sorry. I have to answer my phone."

Then he walked to the side to answer the call.

As Linda watched Steve, she had an expectant look on her face all the while beaming.

Through the hall mirror, Steve could clearly see the look on her face.

Soon, he ended the call and as he walked back to where Linda was, he apologized, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I have to deal with an emergency back at the company. I have to leave. We can have dinner another time."

Looking upset, Linda pouted and said, "When then?"

Steve smiled as he turned to leave. "It depends. You never know—it might be soon."

"Then you should call me!" she said as she put her hand against her ear—gesturing for him to call her.

"I will," Steve called as he left.

He ini

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

e just about two years older than me," Sherry replied flatly.

Jane almost fainted in anger. This woman really thought she was younger!

"You're clever, huh? What's your name?" As soon as Jane Li found out what her name was, she'd be out of a job by tomorrow.

Instead of answering her question, Sherry said simply, "I hope you stop starting fights with random people without any basis. Besides, you aren't even officially engaged to Mr. Song yet. That's a bit impatient of you. You're too quick to establish ownership on him when you aren't even engaged yet."

Jane's face turned red.

This woman was making it seem like Jane was merely forcing Steve to marry her.

Jane liked Steve so much that she hated it when other women were around him.

"In addition to that, my friend is innocent. Since you two are about to get engaged, why don't you talk to Mr. Song about this? Things like this should be kept private. It's inappropriate for you to drag other people in your private affairs."

It seemed like Sherry was mocking Jane for being ungraceful.

Linda couldn't help but be moved at Sherry's determination to defend her.

At such a crucial moment, a fearless friend like Sherry was so useful to have.

"Bitch! What the hell are you talking about?" Jane thought to herself, 'I'm sure I saw that woman seducing Steve. How dare this woman be so arrogant? I need to make her regret this!' "If you don't want to get hurt, get out of the way!" Jane was attempting to slap Linda once more.

However, Sherry quickly pushed Linda out of the way and prepared to take the hit.

Jane's long fingernails could easily scratch a person's face. Since Sherry had pushed Linda out of the way, she had no time escape. So she closed her eyes and waited for the hit to come. After a while, she grew suspicious as she still wasn't feeling anything.

Jane had failed to hit Sherry.

Sherry opened her eyes and saw a tall man standing beside her.

It was Jeremy! He grabbed Jane's hand angrily while he gave Sherry a pitiful look.

He was just a little late because of the traffic jam. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what was about to happen.

How dare this woman attempt to slap Sherry?
