Sherry had finally woken up after what felt like a really good sleep. The fever was gone and she felt quite lively. She didn't think she'd slept for that long but when she woke up Jeremy seemed shocked. She'd slept for about twenty-four hours!
"How could you..." She was about to ask why he didn't wake her up. Suddenly she felt the anger she felt towards him cloud over her. It was better to just ignore him.
As if he read her mind he gently held her body and in a soft voice said, "You were sick. Don't worry, I called in sick for you at work."
Sherry glared at him and turned her back.
Jeremy didn't blame her for her attitude. Instead, he lifted the quilt and put his hand on her back.
"What are you doing?" Sherry immediately turned around and stared at him. "You know I'm sick, right? You're aren't that much of an animal, are you?"
Jeremy was so befuddled. He realized she really misread his intentions, so he helplessly smiled and said, "You're sweating, go to take a shower and you will feel better."
Sherry was somewhat embarrassed. After keeping silent for a few seconds, she lifted the quilt and quickly scurried to the bathroom.
The next morning, she went to work early. The company was basically empty but she unexpectedly bumped into Linda.
"So early?" questioned Sherry in surprise.
Linda nodded politely. A worried look slowly crept over her face. "I heard you were quite sick. How are you? Are you feeling better now?"
Sherry had a ruddy complexion and after her extended sleep. Now she felt in really high spirits. She answered, "It was just a little fever. I was fine after a good r
epartment but she didn't even know.
"I can't bear to see you work so hard."
Sherry smirked and said, "I just like working hard. I'm a real workaholic."
"Work is important but I don't want to see you fall ill again. I hope you are staying healthy." The words of Chester, felt like a refreshing spring breeze. It really touched Sherry deeply.
His raw selflessness and warm heart made Sherry's heart ripple.
"Mr. Gu, I..."
He stretched out his hand and gave her some advice, "Take it easy for now. You don't have to do it all yourself. Leave some work to other people."
Sherry didn't want to listen. She still felt like it was better for her to do everything by herself.
Seeing that she was thinking, Chester advised, "You can keep doing everything yourself but you're making the rest of the department useless. I don't allow laziness in this company. If you keep doing this, I will have to fire all of them."
Sherry was shocked and shook her head rapidly. "No, no, No. I don't want that. I'll do what you told me"
"That's good." Chester smiled with satisfaction.
