Chapter 80 A Friend's Betrayal

Once they got out of the cinema, Steve asked if he could take her to dinner. Letting out a soft sigh, Sherry said, "I really have to go home now. Sorry but I can't have dinner with you."

And before Steve could even say anything, she quickly hailed a cab.

Having suffered quite a huge blow, Steve looked so down in the dumps at that moment. In the end, he helplessly watched Sherry leave.

Behind him, a pair of eyes filled with so much bitterness was also watching.

Today, Linda happened to pass by this area and wanted to see a movie. But just as she was about to ask Sherry out, she suddenly noticed her in the crowd.

Linda was under the assumption that they already had a tacit agreement that they were going to see a movie together. For that reason, she was so taken aback when she saw her with Steve. In the end, she ended up tailing them to see where they were going and even followed them into the cinema.

Linda just couldn't believe what she had seen.

As fast as she could, Sherry got in the cab and went straight back to the apartment. The light in the living room was still on when she got there, and she could hear a sound coming from the kitchen. She guessed that it was probably Jeremy.

After changing into a pair of slippers, she walked toward the kitchen. Jeremy had taken off his suit, put on a white t-shirt and black casual pants, and was busy preparing something in the kitchen while wearing an apron.

Hearing someone coming in, Jeremy turned around and said, "You're back? Wash your hands and get ready so we could eat."

With that, she tiptoed to the sink and did as he asked. Without a warning, she suddenly felt a kiss on her cheek. But when she turned around, she saw that Jeremy was already busy preparing their meal.

"I have cooked several dishes today. Let's find out if they are to your liking." The aroma of the dishes he served soon pervaded the room, which, much to her surprise, was different from what he usually cooked.

She wasn't expecting him to prepare something different, thinking that he only knew how to cook a few dishes.

Taking off his apron, he watched Sherry as she ate, and carefully observed her facial expressions.

It honestly tasted much better than before, so Sherry was rather surprised.

In fact, this was quite a pleasant surprise! He was the CEO of the Ou Group. So, the fact that he was also able to cook so well was really quite a feat.

She couldn't help but feel somewhat moved by him. Truth be told, she had been noticing the changes in Jeremy these past couple of days. That being said, that still wasn't enough to help her get rid of the obstacles deep in her heart. There was still a knot in her heart, which would be almost impossible to remove and couldn't be taken away.

"So, how was it? Did it taste good?" he asked, looking forward to her response.

Much like a child wanting to be praised.

Nodding her head in response, Sherry lightly said, "Not bad."

"I'd also like to eat something." After saying that, he stretched out and pinched a small piece of meat. Seeing this, Sherry swatted his hand with her chopsticks and frowned, "Can't you just use chopsticks?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Jeremy said, "Or maybe you can feed me instead?"

"Not happening," Sherry flat-out refused him without having to think twice.

"What?" With a feeling of dissatisfaction, he looked Sherry who was still casually eating. Then, he leaned in closer and kissed her.

Caught completely off-guard, Sherry felt upset and a little embarrassed. Shooting a quick glance at her mouth, Jeremy slowly moved his lips away from hers. Then, he puckered his lips and said, "It's not bad, but I think I went a little too light on the seasoning."

Since her saliva had diluted the taste, of course, the flavor was on the lighter side.

"Would you like to feed it to my mouth directly?" Jeremy asked again, after tasting the food from

ked, standing in front of his desk.

Hearing this, Chester raised his head and looked at her. Beisy was standing right next to him, helping him sort out the important documents.

"I have a case here. Would you be willing to take it?" As soon as he said those words, Beisy handed the documents over to her.

Sherry took the folder and thumbed through it right away. Growing more and more surprised as she went through it, she asked, "You want me to handle of such an important case?"

"Yes, feel free to choose the team who's going to help you with this. There's plenty of people in the advertising department, and there are a few good ones at your disposal."

When it came to work, he could be quite serious and strict, which was in stark contrast to his usual easy-going personality.

As she stared at the document in her hand, Sherry's heart starting pounding in her chest. This time, the products involved were widely used in the international market and it would be in cooperation with the Koreans.

After that, the proposal would be spread not only across Z Country, but all over the world.

Pausing for a while to think it through, she took a deep breath and made up her mind, "Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll definitely get this job done!"

Clapping his hands, Chester gave her a look of admiration and said, "I'm looking forward to your performance!"

Once she got back in the office of the advertising department, Sherry headed straight to Linda and said, "Come to my office."

Linda seemed to be a little out of it. It actually took her a few seconds before she followed her.

"Mr. Gu just gave me a big case and asked me to assemble a team from the people in the advertising department myself," Sherry said, taking her coat off before sitting on a chair.

Sitting on the chair right across her, Linda said in a kind of joyful tone, "That's great news! Mr. Gu seems to be expecting great things from you."

"But I'm still going to need an assistant. You can be my assistant!" Sherry was also very excited about it. And the first person that came to her mind was Linda.

After all, they were really good friends. They could understand each other quite well. So, if she could have Linda instead of someone else as her assistant, taking care of this job would be a lot easier.

"Me?" Linda was left at such a loss.

"Yes! What do you think? This is a big case. Are you in?" Sherry asked, as though she was enticing her.

Keeping silent for a few seconds, Linda gave it much thought and then nodded her head in agreement. "Okay, I'll be your assistant!"

Sherry smiled, feeling so contented.
