As Nola’s words fell, she observed that Aaron’s expression was already unmistakably somber.
Her heart swelled with joy, and she thought she had hit the mark.
As he was about to speak again, Aaron’s tone was indifferent, “That’s between her and me, you don’t get to tell me what to do.”
Nola’s hand stopped in mid-air as she tried to pull him away, his cold warning in her ear, “There is no longer any relationship between you and me, and I came here today to make things clear to you.
She didn’t even have time to say a word of redemption before she saw only Aaron’s cold back as he left.
She had some leeway in the past, and was hopeful that after all this time without contact, she would seriously repent and Aaron would give her another chance, which is why she got down on her knees and begged her dad to ask Aaron to come to the farewell party tonight as well.
So as to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between them.
What a thought …
“Why, why does everyone have to do this to me! What have I done wrong!”
Nola’s heart rose and fell with hatred, biting the corner of her lip to death.
Aaron took in David’s words and his expression was deep, “So, the Night Group is so unworthy of Mr. David’s attention that all the projects discussed before have been abandoned.”
“…” where David thought he would lift a stone and drop it on his own feet.
Sherry just sat there, neither watching nor gloating, yet still wondering why Aaron was staring at her as if she was the one who had made a fool of him.
His eyes fell on her with a persistence she had never seen before, and he spoke, his voice mixed with a hint of self-deprecation, “You’ve found a better place than the Night Group after all these days.”
That’s not a nice thing to say, no matter how you hear it.
Sherry pursed her lips and didn’t make a sound.
She didn’t want to draw attention to herself in this kind of scene.
But Ryan, who is a highly sought-after member of the Garcia Family with a golden spoon in his mouth, has always been unforgiving, and when he saw Aaron’s intention to cause trouble, he said, “It’s only in the last few days that I’ve heard that Miss Sherry and Mr. Swift have had some encounters in the past, but in this day and age, when you break up, you have to show each other some decency, right? But in this world, we have to leave each other some decency when we break up, right?”
What even Ryan could figure out that he wouldn’t understand?
Sherry’s head hung lower, perhaps Aaron still hated her and wasn’t going to let her go.
“Ryan, I’ve got a few things to do, so I’d better leave you all to your meal.” Sherry stood up anxiously, grabbed her things and headed out.
Didn’t even notice if anyone was following behind.
The more anxious she was, the more reckless she became, pressing her hand against the lift, tense and unsure.
That is, until a figure barged in from the side and startled her into panic.
“How …”
It’s him!
It’s a farewell dinner for Edward tonight, how can he, the star of the show, leave early?
The chill in his eyes grew stronger as Aaron chased him out, just in time to see Sherry leaving with Edward in the lift.
Sherry saw Edward with a cold face and a look of disinterest.
She thought that perhaps it was because of the conversation she had just had that she had ruined his evening and, knowing that she had been wrong, she could not help but hang her head grimly again.
“You haven’t done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?”
It was just a phrase that broke into her heart.
At the same time, Edward’s inky eyes swept over Sherry’s small, white face, and anyone could see that she wanted to run but had nowhere to hide, only no one stood up for her.
He could not explain where the few moments of angry anger deep in his heart came from.
It just seemed that she wasn’t as bad as the rumors had it, what with being Aaron’s mistress for a few years and being bored by him before he kicked her off.
He was a man too, and the way Aaron looked at Sherry with such hot eyes couldn’t be fooled.
It was Sherry who was hiding.
And so overwhelmed and panicked.
“Go out of the car park from here, you don’t have a car, and he’ll catch up faster on the next lift.”
Sherry’s mind was confused.
Tightly trying to press the lift again, his fingers were just reaching out when Edward pressed them down, “I’ll help you again.”
Sherry looked at him blankly, her eyes full of confusion.
“Don’t worry, don’t mention what happened before.” His hushed tone inexplicably gave her a sense of comfort.
Sherry followed, like a little tail, to Edward’s car and, as he thought, Aaron then stepped out of the lift.
But where was Sherry in the large car park?
Only the black Maybach pulls out of the exit.
Inside the car, the smell of incense was light and fresh. Sherry turned her head to the side, looking at the city’s lights, the busy streets, but there was no place for her to stay.
“Where to send you?”
Edward asked, his voice both deep and ungentle.
But Sherry felt incredibly relieved, and she felt sure that she was delirious.
She gave the address of the rented flat, and then there was a moment of speechlessness between the two.
Sherry interlaced her fingers back and forth, thinking for a while before squeezing out, “Mr. Edward is leaving tomorrow, isn’t he? Have a good trip.”
A soft laugh suddenly escaped the man’s lips.
“Everyone else is sorry to see them off, but why are you so happy that I’m leaving?”
“…”
Sherry bit the corner of her lip.
She certainly didn’t mean it that way, but then again they didn’t know each other well, and although Edward had been there every time she needed him most, Sherry had already been punished once.
She will definitely not go back to daydreaming.
A man like him, she could not afford to think about.
“I didn’t mean it that way, Mr. Edward misunderstood.”
The man, this time, didn’t say another word until he reached the bottom of the block, he rolled down the window and lit a cigarette, “Next time, I’ll tell you how to repay me.”
Next time?
Is there any chance of them meeting again?
And I don’t know what was going on, but Sherry always felt that there was something in his words.
But a day is a day when you can get away with it.
So Edward just watched her get out of the car like a red-eyed rabbit, cautiously, and gave her a bow before trotting off into the building in a huff.
He shifted his eyes slightly upwards, layer after layer.
It wasn’t until she opened the door to her room and lit the lamp that the good-looking look on his brow tinged with laughter, “Little white-eyed wolf, you’re not defending yourself from me this time.”
Inexplicably, they seemed much closer to each other.
He glanced afterwards at the empty passenger seat and murmured, “My hunches are always right, Sherry, we’ll meet again.”
He turned the car around and drove towards a hotel near the airport.
The Bluetooth headset flickered and he pressed the answer button, and there was a woman’s questioning voice on the other side, “They set up a farewell banquet for you, and you just left without saying anything? You’re almost thirty years old, why aren’t you calm at all!”
“Just say it, I’m driving.” He pressed the steering wheel, his fingers were nicely curved.
The woman hastily asked, “Ryan said that you left with a female employee of their company, did you …”
“No.”
Not at present.
