A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 36: She Was Like a Cat on Hot Bricks

She was not qualified to visit Dad!

Sherry cleaned up the withered flowers and put the fresh flowers she brought. Then she looked up at the affable smile of the

man in the picture on the tombstone.

Sherry was sad, "Dad, I come to see you! Are you fine?”

"I'm the only one left in our family, Dad...”

At this moment, the phone rang. Sherry took a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Ms. Murray, Mr. Rowland wants you to

get to the office at 4:00 p.m.!"

"Ms. Hines, I..."

"Sherry, we have a meeting this afternoon, and Mr. Rowland wants you to be in charge of a project. Sherry, if you do this

project well, your future will be bright. You are likely to be promoted from an obscure secretary to a special assistant of Mr. Rowland, and your salary and treatment will be greatly improved. Come on, I believe in your ability! Remember to arrive at the company on time at four o'clock in the afternoon!"

“Well” Sherry was a little speechless.

She had been working part-time since she was 15. Until recently, she took a lot of trouble to get into The Rowland Group. She

thought she could become a white-collar worker, but she didn't expect to be harassed by her boss, and her boss was a very handsome man. He could have any kind of woman he wanted. She really didn't understand why he wanted to harass her?

"Forget it! Don't think about the mess:’

Sherry looked at her dress, which could cover the love bites William made. So she went straight to the company in this dress.

When Sherry arrived at the company, it was time for lunch. Everyone went to the restaurant for lunch. She bought a packet of

instant noodles and cooked instant noodles in the office area.

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind, "Don't eat instant noodles in the future!"

Sherry shivered with fear, “Mr. Rowland!”

After yesterday's thing, they were embarrassed when they met again. God, why did Sherry meet William again?

No!

Sherry, to be exact, was embarrassed. But William didn't seem to be acting strangely. He even took it for granted that they

met. At the moment, he was staring at her, standing a meter away from her desk.

Sherry's face turned red.

“Don't tell me you were off today because of what happened last night." Looking at Sherry who was blushed, William spoke

coldly, and then he strode over with no expression, with his high-grade silver gray suit having no wrinkles.

As a result, Sherry's face turned redder.

Looking at the shy woman who was wearing a dress that suited her age today, William thought she was much more beautiful.

In an instant, William remembered something. He squinted and asked Sherry again, “Is it really because of last night's thing?”

"Yes" Sherry didn't deny it, "Mr. Rowland, stop playing with me, OK? I want to continue my life. I don't want my job in The

Rowland Group ruined by rumors!"

"Why?" William quickly approached Sherry, and he kept staring at Sherry's red face.

"Mr. Rowland, you can have all kinds of women you want. Why do you play with me? I'm not beautiful, and I don't have talent.

I really don't have anything. Would you please stop playing with me? Well, I'll eat lunch” Sherry would never do anything that violated the moral bottom line.

Sherry finished her words and sat down to eat noodles.

William suddenly felt like laughing. He seemed to understand her mode of thinking. What did it have to do with the thing that he wanted her?

William quickly turned his head, but he couldn't help laughing. William coughed to hide his sudden change of emotion. When Sherry felt puzzled, William strode toward his office.

What did he mean?

Did he agree to stop harassing Sherry? He didn't seem to agree.

Sherry was lost in thought. It was difficult to have a good life. Sherry even wanted to let God strike her with a thunder. She couldn't work at all now!

"Sherry, I haven't seen you all morning. Where have you been?" Liam came over again. "You eat instant noodles? It's too simple:

"Mr. Brooks!" Sherry politely greeted Liam, and then lowered her head to cover her red and swollen lips.

"No wonder you are so thin, instant noodles are not nutritious. Don't eat instant noodles anymore:

"Late?" Liam walked to her, patted her on the thin shoulder, then casually put his hand around her and said, "Can I take you out to meal?"

"If you are free, you can go to Japan on business this afternoon!” Another deep voice broke Liam's mind.

Then William and Sherry both saw William who was standing at the door. He was upset when he saw Liam's hand on Sherry’s shoulder.

"Mr. Rowland! Can I let Ms. Murray accompany me?" Liam didn't get angry at William's arrangement, but rather generously expressed his willingness to go ona business trip. "Ms. Murray, how about I take you on a business trip?"

As soon as Liam's words came out, Sherry immediately felt William was staring at her.

The man was staring her with piercing eyes.

“Mr. Brooks, you seem to be very busy. I won't disturb you." Since he was going on a business trip, he would need to make

some preparations for it.

Then she sat down and ate her instant noodles.

She was eager to get rid of Liam. Liam raised his eyebrows, and then did something that also surprised himself, "Mr. Rowland,

I'm afraid I can't finish my work smoothly without an excellent assistant like Ms. Murray with me’'

What?

What was the situation?

When was Sherry so popular?

Her eyes widened in surprise. A handsome man like Mr. Brooks liked to tease her. Had she been lucky in love affairs recently?

But William was staring at her, which made her like a cat on hot bricks.

"Mr. Brooks, I'm sorry. I'm going to prepare for the meeting in the afternoon!" Sherry threw the leftover noodles into the basket.

"I'll go to the administration department to find some information first!"

William put his hands around his chest and looked at Sherry's back with a smile. She did a good job. She refused Liam.

Otherwise, he would not let her off easily.

She couldn't go on business with other men, unless he was dead!

Sherry could feel William still staring at her with sharp eyes behind her.

"Ah, she escaped?” As she turned and ran, Liam said to William.

Was he a beast? Sherry was really...

"You really need to go on a business trip!” William laughed more happily.

"No!" Liam turned around and went back to his office.

William shook his red wine glass in his hand, which smelt sweet. He leaned back in his chair, tidying up his thoughts.

She was extremely contemptuous of his personal charm and wealth. Regardless of his interest, just for the sake of man’s dignity, he had to pull her back. Sherry rejected Liam, so she did well today.

Sherry! Sherry!

"You'd better give in to me earlier. Whatever I want to do is not unsuccessful. You can't run away from me.’

William looked gloomy. Sherry's future was settled now.

He wanted her!

On the way to the administration department, many people looked at her strangely. Sherry felt very embarrassed.

What should Sherry do with the rest of the time?

When Sherry was going to get the information, she saw a female clerk who was sorting out the information. Sherry walked to the female clerk and patted her on the shoulder. "Please help me find...

“Ah? OK!"

The woman turned around as she spoke. At the moment of seeing Sherry, the smile on the female clerk's face quickly faded, and she looked at Sherry with disdain.

“Sorry, I'm busy now. I don't have time to help you!" Her tone also changed a lot.

Sherry was stunned and said, "Mr. Rowland needs the information in the afternoon!"

“Mr. Rowland?" The female clerk snorted and impatiently handed over the information. “Hum!”

Sherry reached out to pick up the information, but the female clerk suddenly pulled her hand back. Sherry didn't get the information, and the information fell to the ground. “You are too careless!”

Sherry frowned, squatted down to sort out the information and apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really careless, thank you!"

Sherry picked up the information on the ground in a panic, and her face turned red because of embarrassment.

Sherry cursed William from the bottom of her heart. Just because of William, Sherry was now being ostracized by colleagues in the company.

The female clerk glared at her and sarcastically said, "Ms. Murray! You're popular in our company now. It's my pleasure to help you!"

Sherry clearly felt the intense hostility of the female clerk. Sherry just lowered her head and said, "I'll go up first”

Sherry turned to leave with her head down, but she collided with a man. Her nose really hurt, and the information in her hand was scattered all over the floor again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Peter was wearing a dark blue suit and a clean white shirt. They were so close that Sherry could smell him.

As soon as Peter returned to the company, he met a beautiful woman before reporting to Mr. Rowland. Peter looked at the girl with her head down and said with a smile, "It's OK. I'll pick it up for you.”

“No! I'm sorry, I'll do it myself’ Sherry squatted down to pick up the information.

“Mr. Mollison, are you back?" When the female clerk saw Peter, she immediately changed her tone, “Have you just arrived at the company today?”

When Sherry picked up the information, suddenly, she saw two big palms, and she subconsciously looked up, ‘I...”

When he saw Peter's face, Sherry's eyes suddenly widened. This person was...

“Is it you?" Sherry’s mind just went blank.

Peter was stunned. He seemed to recognize Sherry as the surrogate motherhood five years ago. Peter didn't know how to deal with her, and he just coughed and blinked, "Miss, do I know you?"

"You, you forget?" Sherry almost screamed. She grabbed Peter's arm and exclaimed excitedly, “Can you tell me where he is? Where is he?”

"Miss, I don't know you. I don't understand what you're talking about!" Peter awkwardly showed a smile, concealing the real emotion in his eyes. He didn't expect to see Sherry again.

"Ms. Murray, is that how you talk to man?" Again, the female clerk scoffed, "It's too bad”

Sherry didn't care about sarcasm anymore.

Seeing Peter again, Sherry was flustered, as if there was a huge fireball exploding in her heart. But Peter didn't know her anymore. Peter was the only one who knew the real identity of the man with mask!

Only the man in front of her could provide clues for her son.

"Miss, you seem to recognize the wrong person!” Peter stood up and handed over the information, “I have something else to do. I'll go first.”

With that, Peter let go of Sherry's hands, turned around and walked out.

Wrong?

Sherry froze, "No! Sir, please wait!”

How could she let go of the only man who might know where her son was? "Just wait a moment! Please!”
