Chapter 81 – It’s no big deal
“Didn’t say anything.” Sherry muttered back, then looked up at Aaron, “You gave this to me, back to you.”
It’s the card.
She stood up and looked at the man’s face as levelly as she could, “And, without any trouble from the company, I’ll hand in my resignation letter when Eral gets back.”
Aaron’s eyes narrowed, did she hear that?
Sherry looked at the time, “The car is downstairs, you can go on your own.”
With these words, she was about to pull the door open and go out.
But before she could take a step, her foot was pulled back by the man, and her forehead slammed firmly into Aaron’s chest.
She bit the corner of her lip sullenly and tilted her head up, “What else does Mr. Swift want!”
“I didn’t say, let you resign.” I don’t know if he’s been drinking too little water these past few days, his voice is raspy and with that cool look in his eyes, it really has a very domineering charm.
“What’s the difference? How can I lick my face and stay and sabotage you as the Garcia Family’s number one son-in-law when you’ve promised the Garcia Family that you’ll kick me out.”
She is so full of barbs.
Aaron’s brow creased and he pushed her away, “Whatever you think, you were the one who begged me to get into the Night Group in the first place anyway, now you’re leaving, leave everything you have in your hands.”
Those evidence concerning Nola’s reputation.
Sherry was stunned into immobility and did not speak.
Aaron’s face was cold, “You’re not going out?”
He hadn’t changed his trousers.
Sherry snorted half-heartedly, “Mr. Swift is shy? What is it about you that I haven’t seen before, and what’s more, it’s not a very impressive advantage, so why hide it?”
“Sherry!”
In the ward was the low growl of a man.
A few hours later, return to the city.
When Eral rushed back to pick up Aaron, he saw him sitting in the car with a stern face, while Sherry stood outside the car.
“Eral, Mr. Swift’s luggage has been put in the car, you can go now.”
Sherry handed over the car keys straight away.
Eral froze, “Aren’t you coming along?”
Usually, Aaron would order a lift for Sherry on the way.
Which is when the man inside the car’s face condensed and closed the window.
And Sherry said indifferently, “It’s not necessary, I don’t deserve it.”
She turned around and went to wait for the bus.
The wind was blowing in her face as if by magic and was about to blow her hat to the ground, when Sherry was not paying attention, she bent down to pick it up and bumped into a passer-by.
“Excuse me.”
The other man smiled coyly, showing a row of white teeth, “It’s okay.”
Sherry looks up and realizes she seems to have seen him before, it seems to be a recently turned intern at Night Group, Ken.

Just as the car was waiting at the traffic lights, his eyes flashed cold.
Eral was also taken aback for a few seconds, “So someone came to pick her up.”
Pick up, Sherry?
Aaron leaned back in the leather seat and reached up to press his brow.
Sherry’s kind of background doesn’t match Andrew, but this kind of intern, who is as new to the world as she is, is a good match for her ….
For some reason, Aaron suddenly felt a tightness and thirst in his chest.
“Eral, bring in the next quarter’s statement.”
His sudden change in tone to a colder one startled Eral.
“Mr. Swift, do you want to see it now? I have a dinner with the CEO of New Era Group in the evening, or …”
But the icy scowl on his family’s president’s face already said it all.
Eral immediately hit the ground running and got stuck in.
At the curb, Sherry’s bus arrived and she too just said goodbye to Ken and turned around to get on.
Before Ken could finish his sentence, “What’s your mobile number and can we have dinner next time?”
He watched the bus go away, so shy that his ears turned red.
The aunt sitting next to him shook her bushel fan and said with a smile, “Boys have to be brave, ah, people are gone before you say it.”
Ken blushed like a fawn in panic and scratched his hair tightly, “I’ll remember that.”
“Come, come, come, auntie will teach you a trick.”
Sherry came home and painfully cooked two bags of instant noodles, and made an exception for herself by adding an egg.
“It’s okay, big deal, start all over again.”
She turned on the television set equipped by her landlord and watched the ridiculous courtroom drama episodes on it, eating her noodles while her eyes were red.
“It’s definitely spicy.”
With a firm wipe, she took another large chopstick.
“It’s okay, Sherry, the sky is not falling.”
With that in mind, she ate even faster.
But when she lay in bed at night, she was in tears, not because she was more sentimental, but because she was chagrined that she had swiped something handsome and why she had given Aaron’s money back.
When her mother is discharged from hospital, will she be crammed into this small room?
Sherry was so anxious that she couldn’t sleep, so she took out her mobile phone and started looking for a job online, even an hourly one, as long as the pay was decent.
“Sherry, welcome to work with us, I’ve seen your picture, you look very good, I have a role for you, just need to audition, so, you come to our studio at 1pm, let’s interview.”
This was the first call Sherry received.
Several passes followed, all similar.
So much so that when she washed her hands, she looked at herself in the mirror and was a little confused as to whether she was really fit to be a star.
“Sherry, Eral is looking for you.” A female employee called out beside her as she passed.
“Oh, good.”
Sherry hurriedly headed out.
The female employee looked at her back and snorted, her eyes disdainful.
Sherry was calculating that it was mostly Aaron who was going to let her go, but instead, what landed in front of her were two large boxes of papers, “Read them all and do a summary, Mr. Swift wants to see them tomorrow.”
“That much?” Sherry froze for a moment, no, hadn’t he promised Nola he’d quit her?
But Eral’s mouth was tight and he turned around after the command and left.
Not giving Sherry a chance to ask more questions at all.
Sherry had no choice but to stay and look through the papers, sorting through them until she was dizzy and the content was obscure and simply too deep for her to understand.
“Also, SIK …”
“Plus the contractor’s …”
When Sherry looked up, the lights in the whole office went down, only her desk lamp and computer screen here were still on, and she felt her neck break.
As soon as I looked up, my whole back was completely sore and swollen.
“I kind of know, Aaron, you cheapskate, you just tossed me around one more time before you quit me?”
Sherry muttered, completely oblivious to a certain figure stepping out of the lift behind her.
“I’ll let you off the hook for saving my life once!” Sherry snapped, stacking up the papers.
Then, suddenly, there was a bang behind him.
“And I have you to thank for that, magnanimity?”
