Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 89 Hello, Ms Shaw
Cherise smiled. She took a thick stack of lecture notes from her bag and started revising. âI donât have
such ambitious dreams now. I only want to score well in todayâs advanced mathematics midterms.â
âOh my god!â
Lucy put down her coffee
cup.
She had forgotten that there was a mathematics midterm today!
*Cherry, lend me your notes. I want to make a cheat sheet.â
Cherise rolled her eyes and pushed away Lucyâs restless hands. âNo way!â
After that, she took out the advanced mathematics textbook. âLet me show you some questions that
may be in the testâ¦
The advanced mathematics test was held as scheduled at two in the afternoon.
Cherise sat at a seat in the front row and calmly picked up her test paper before she started answering
the questions.
She had always gotten near full marks in all her subjects. Therefore, her lecturers didnât need to pay
her any attention during tests. They only needed to keep an eye on students who wanted to look at her
answers.
An hour into the test, a series of rhythmic footsteps rang in the corridor outside.
Cherise, who was verifying her calculations, furrowed her brows from the noise.
Ultimately, she just stood up and handed her test paper in.
She picked up her yellow bag with ducks. Lucy, who was in the corner of the exam hall, looked at her
worriedly.
Cherise gestured at Lucy to cheer her on before turning to leave.
âHello, Ms. Shaw!â
Loud and clear male voices instantly rang in unison as soon as Cherise left the hall.
Two rows of men were standing on both sides of the corridor. They were of the same
1/3
height and build and wore identical black uniforms.
âThudâ
The yellow duck bag in Cheriseâs hands fell in her surprise. The stationery in her bags. spilled out onto
the ground.
When the men in black saw it, they swarmed forward like bees and swiftly picked up Cheriseâs fallen
belongings. They even picked up the scrap paper on which she had done. her calculations and
returned it to her in one piece.
They put the intact yellow duck bag back in Cheriseâs hands.
The head of the men in black coughed lightly. âOne, two, three!â
The men in black started clapping. âCongratulations on finishing the test, Ms. Shaw!â
âWe hope you come out on top, Ms. Shaw!â
The menâs voices caused a stir in the entire corridor and exam hall as they rang in unison.
Students in the exam hall stretched their necks in succession to look outside.
The invigilator opened the door furiously. âWhatâs going on, Cherise Shaw?!â
Cherise turned with a grieved expression. âSir.. I donât know whatâs going on eitherâ¦â
What on earth was going on?
The head of the men in black walked up beamingly. âHello, Ms. Shaw. Iâm Bernard Cones, the assistant
to Shaw Groupâs president. This means Iâm your assistant.â
âThese are employees of Shaw Group. Theyâre your subordinates from now on. Today is the first day of
your job, so we came to pick you up to inspect the office!â
Cherise was dazed.
Shaw Group?
Ms. Shaw?
Inspect?
âAre you sure⦠you have the right person?â
âYes, of course!â
2/3
Bernard smiled and took out Cheriseâs personal details from a briefcase. âTake a look. This is your
picture, right?â
âYour name is Cherise Shaw, right?â
âYouâre nineteen years old, right?â
Cherise was flabbergasted.
It was her personal details.
But she wasnât a president!
Behind her, the invigilator was still glaring at her.
Cherise could only force herself to look at Bernard and the men in black behind him. âYou say that Iâm
the president, right?â
âYes.
âWill you obey me?â
âOf course.â
Cherise massaged the bridge of her nose, which was hurting. âLetâs go out.â
Thus, the men in black lined up in an orderly manner again as they followed Cherise and Bernard.
