On the other side of the phone, the woman was still rambling on.
Edward just listened, his mind absently passing over the way Sherry had just hidden from him, her lips curving in a way he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Anyway, don’t forget your engagement to the Garcia Family, it’s not a good idea to drag it out like this.”
“I understand.” Edward pulled the car to a steady stop at the traffic light, “I’ll deal with this first when I get back this time, I did all the help I did for Uncle Garcia before, he’ll oblige and talk for me.”
“Miller? It’s okay, he’s the only one in their family who’s still reliable. You mark my words, hold on until the end of the year, the company’s equity case will be over, and by then, you’ll still be the Master Edward that no one can afford to climb.”
Edward was amused by this.
“Well, I’m driving.”
An engagement to the Garcia Family?
After all these years of delay, it is indeed time to take care of it.
…
The next morning, Sherry was informed by the company that she was to pick up Ryan from the hotel and go with him to Seattle on a business trip.
Amity also smiled and said, “Sherry, do a good job, I can see that Ryan thinks highly of you.”
“…”
Ryan valued her?
There’s definitely something fishy going on here.
Just like yesterday when Ryan had taken her to that occasion, maybe with something in mind, Sherry couldn’t figure it out and had a car key shoved in her hand.
She also walked out of the office amidst either envious or jealous glances from other colleagues.
On the other hand, Ryan was in his hotel room, bored and dealing with Miller’s instructions, “Got it, I’m sure I’ll take her back, but you have to be prepared, I don’t think she knows anything.”
Miller coughed twice, “You’ve got to try, the family’s hopes have been riding on this for years, you’ve got to do a good job and not mess it up.”
“Got it, big uncle.”
Ryan put his phone down and shook his head helplessly.
He really thought he was a child, but when he heard a knock at the door, his cold eyes, which had just been closed, opened instantly and he came to the door and opened it with a cold look on his face.
Lifting his chin, he ordered, “Get the luggage into the car and then go downstairs and wait for me.”
“Okay, Ryan,” Sherry said, knowing exactly what she was getting into.
If you want to keep your job, it is essential that you are at the disposal of your boss.
“Wait, you …” Ryan suddenly shouted, then scratched the broken hair on his forehead and said casually, “Forget it, get out.”
“Yes.”
Sherry walks into the lift with her luggage and is surprised to see Nola coming over with a gift.
“Ryan sent you?” Nola snorted softly, “Is that company going out of business with no one else? How come it’s you.”
“Unfortunately, it’s a company that’s not very prosperous, and one that you can’t bargain with.”
By virtue of their kinship with Ryan, Nola’s family was entitled to sit at last night’s table, and when they came back today to deliver something, apparently without achieving their goal, David sent her again.
Nola’s face went white, she grunted harshly and stomped out on her heels.
“Miss. Nola, be careful when you go out, the death rate from traffic accidents is quite high these days.” Sherry’s voice floated coldly from behind, and by the time Nola tried to retort, the lift doors had already closed.
For some reason, she was just scared to the point of her fingertips.
Sherry literally survived a place like that that night!
Nola was so upset that she almost dropped the box of snacks she was holding as she walked forward, whether or not she had proof that she had bought the hit.
Twenty minutes later.
Sherry saw Ryan walking out with Nola.
Something that Ryan confiscated.
Still Nola carried it in her hand, still shouting out Ryan with a smile sweeter than honey on her face, “Next week, my dad and I will be in Seattle too, so I’ll see you at home then.”
This is said as if the Seattle Garcia Group is her family.
Ryan didn’t respond to any of Nola’s advances, and when he got into the car, he just closed his eyes and rested.
Sherry stepped on the accelerator at the first opportunity and the water on the road splashed Nola’s entire skirt.
“Sherry!”
She stood angrily in front of the hotel, almost gritting her silver teeth.
But what made her nervous right now was that Sherry seemed to have a good relationship with Ryan and that Ryan was taking her on a public trip to Seattle, just in case, just in case she had the chance to meet someone from the Seattle Garcia Group!
The consequences are unthinkable.
Nola took several steps forward in quick succession, muttering, “No way, I will never let you take everything that belongs to me.”
Sherry drove towards the airport, not too fast and not too slow, very steady.
So much so that Ryan put down his exhaustion in the back seat and slept a little, and just as Sherry thought he was asleep, a questioning voice came from behind, “You and Nola, because Aaron turned out to be an enemy?”
Sherry frowned.
I had no idea Ryan was so nosy.
But he was her top man, so naturally he had to answer, “No.”
Ryan laughed lightly, “So what chance do you have, getting involved with someone like her?”
Sherry was momentarily surprised; this was the first time she had heard a very unpleasant comment about Nola from the mouth of a posh young man.
But it soon dawned on her that it was mostly the scandal from the engagement party that had reached the Seattle Garcia Group.
Sherry clutched the steering wheel and said in a faint voice, “It’s because of the others.”
She sounded like she didn’t want to talk about it, and Ryan could hear it, and didn’t ask any more questions along the way after that.
It was Sherry’s first time in Seattle and when she left the airport, she went through the VIP lane, which was less crowded and had a dizzying array of boutique luxury shops along the entire road.
Those are things that Sherry could never afford to consume in her lifetime.
“I heard that my eldest did your mum’s surgery.” Ryan pretended to mention it offhandedly.
“Yes.”
“It just so happens that my eldest is at home, would you like to pay a visit and say thank you in person?”
Sherry was confused for two seconds and then looked at Ryan, who had already moved on.
She was invited to the Seattle Garcia Group?
Before Sherry could react here, she saw a big wavy beauty swoop towards Ryan and drop a kiss directly on his face with her big red lips.
“People have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Ryan wasn’t repulsed by her either, so I guess it was boyfriend and girlfriend, Sherry thought.
The pretty girl also glanced at her in the aftermath, slightly stunned, before immediately turning around and pouting, “Ryan, I’m starving, how are you going to make it up to me.”
“Get your own.” Ryan graciously handed over a card.
Also said to go home.
The beauty immediately stopped pestering and waved her hand at the sports car, “Honey, I’ll wait for your call then.”
A flying kiss was also delivered.
Sherry couldn’t even watch from behind with that head scratching look and got into the car in a hurry.
The lights of Seattle are pretty intoxicating.
