Man, what's wrong with you?
Chapter 34 You Have No Right to Interfere With Me
After all, Jeremy was her husband. But in the three years since they'd gotten married, they'd told very few people about it.
Sherry thought it was ridiculous to let other people know she was his wife. Her expression turned cold and she opened her lips, as though to speak, but she didn't say anything.
"I'll give you some time to consider it. You can go to work now," said Jeremy. He withdrew his hand.
As soon as he pulled away, Sherry turned and practically ran into the office building.
Jeremy watched her go. As soon as she was out of sight, he glanced at Chester, who was staring at him.
It usually didn't matter to Jeremy what others thought of him. But he wanted the people he cared about to see that, especially Chester.
Sherry worked in the advertising department. When she reached her desk, she dropped her bag, and then went straight to the tea room. She couldn't stop thinking about what Jeremy had just done, and it made her angrier with him. She was so annoyed that she would have bitten him if he was there right now, to show her displeasure.
She got a glass of water and returned to her desk. She had just gotten settled in her seat when she saw Beisy entering the office.
Beisy went to greet Langston, who suddenly looked over at her. He called, "Sherry, come here for a moment."
Sherry put down the glass and went to them. "Director Langston, Beisy, good morning," she greeted them.
"Mr. Gu is going to meet a client. Can you come with us?" Beisy asked.
Langston was quite capable of handling the meeting on his own. However, the fact that Chester wanted to take Sherry along to meet the client showed that he attached great importance to her.
Sherry nodded heavily. "Good, get your files and let's go. We'll start right now," Langston instructed.
Sherry and Langston arrived at the conference room. The room was full of staff who were busy setting up a projector and placing bottles of water on the table. As soon as they finished, Langston and Sherry went to their seats and brought out their own files, ready to listen and take notes on the meeting.
Langston was relatively young, not even forty years old, but he was very calm and trustworthy. Sherry knew that from her experience in working with him. He would patiently explain things and answer questions about the matters she didn't understand.
However, Langston had not yet discovered all that she was capable of, apart from the jewelry design he'd seen three years ago.
In general, his attitude towards her was neither too cold nor too warm, but Sherry didn't mind. They were deep in discussion about the upcoming meeting when they heard footsteps coming closer.
They glanced towards the door and saw Beisy enter, followed by a familiar face. It was Steve Song!
Langston stood up to give the client a warm reception. But Sherry remained seated, staring at Steve in a daze.
Steve looked totally different from how she remembered him. For this business meeting, he was dressed neatly in a sharp gray suit; his hair was combed back instead of tousled, and his face was bright and alert. There was no trace of the leering playboy she'd met before.
After Steve, Chester entered, followed by senior executives from both companies.
Sherry took a deep breath. Now was not the time to fall apart. She stood up and forced a welcoming smile onto her face.
"Mr. Song, good to see you," Langston greeted politely. Sherry's face was stiff as she repeated, "Mr. Song."
