Daniel gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Sherry turned around and closed her eyes. She said, âI felt so sleepy. Good night.â
Itâs still raining outside and it seems that there was no intention of stopping.
Before long, Sherryâs breathing gradually became steady. Seemed like she was indeed asleep.
Daniel looked at her back, his lips pursed, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
In the darkness, Sherry slowly opened her eyes, surprised by his action, lost in her thought while looking at the rain outside.
...
When Sherry woke up the next day, Daniel was no longer in the room.
Even before she opened her eyes, she already felt the aftermath of hangover. She retched a few times, but she didnât vomit, feeling so dizzy.
Sherry moved her stiff and sore limbs, slowly put on some clothes, and went into the bathroom to wash up. She dragged her exhausted and weakened body downstairs after patting her face.
Thatâs when Daniel came in.
Sherry saw him and tried to say hello, âMorning.â
Daniel paused. âI'll get you an ice coke.â
Sherry sat at the table and said, âThank you.â
Soon, Daniel came back with a can of coke and breakfast; he placed them in front of her.
He said, âThe car is still in repair. Letâs drive another one.â
Sherry nodded while sipping the coke, âOkay.â
Daniel sat in front of her, opened his mouth several times, hesitant to speak, but didnât say anything at last.
Sherry looked up in his eyes and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Daniel said, âDonât you...have anything to say to me?â
Sherry rubbed her waist and complained in a whisper, âThe bed here is too soft, and I have a sore back. Hey, do you know any good masseuses?
When we're back in town, I need to get a massage.â
Daniel was confused.
Sherry picked up the sandwich in front and said, âBy the way, did I say some bullshit last night? I was so drunk. Please donât take it to heart. If I had said anything that offended you, I apologize to you now. I am sorry.â
Daniel was speechless.
He was a bit pissed, but also amused by her words. He picked up the milk in front of him and gulped it down.
Sherry just took a bite of a sandwich and was choked upon seeing this. She said in a hurry, âThatâs my milk...â
Daniel lowered his eyes and threw a glance at her, then put down the cup on the table with a clank and turned away.
Sherry finally swallowed the food in her mouth, and after hesitating for a while, she picked up the cup.
Forget it, itâs not poisoned anyway, better than being choked to death.
When she finished her breakfast and went out, Daniel was standing next to a red car, talking to the owner of the hotel.
Sherry walked over and coughed, âI am done. Shall we leave?â
Daniel looked back at her and said, âGive me a minute. I forgot something.â
Something hit her mind at once and she yelled, âAh, my camera bag...â
âIâll bring it down for you.â
âOkay, thank you.â
After Daniel entered the hotel, the owner smiled and said to Sherry, âYour boyfriend is very considerate.â
Sherry was stunned when she heard the words. Waving her hands rapidly, she stuttered, âNo... He is not my... my boyfriend. We are just friends.â
The owner kept smiling without saying more and turned around throwing the toy for his dog to fetch.
Sherry stood there and heaved a sigh.
Now the rain has stopped and the air was fresh.
The sun also rose slowly, forming a halo in the mid-air.
Sherry tilted her head and took a picture with her mobile phone.
Five minutes later, Daniel turned back, gave her the camera bag, and then opened the door of the driverâs seat. Sherry put away the phone and followed in.
On the way back, Sherry was leaning against the window, closing her eyes and enjoying the warm morning sun and the refreshing wind.
Daniel glanced at her sideways and asked, âAre you still planning to go to the Thames today?â
Sherry answered, âNo, not anymore.â
Daniel asked, âWhy?â
âI was planning to go there to take pictures of dusk, but I think the sunset I saw yesterday was very beautiful as well. There are so many different sceneries in this world, and each has its own characteristics. There is no need to get so attached to one place.â
Daniel held the steering wheel and didnât speak, wondering if her words were implying something.
When they drove into the downtown, Sherry closed the window and said, âI booked a ticket back to City N tonight. Thank you for your care these two days. When you come to City N next time, I will take you out to have fun.â
He's not going back anyway.
A bit courtesy wouldn't hurt.
Daniel turned to gaze at her, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to find out what she was actually thinking.
Sherry looked away and said, âHey, I almost forgot. Iâve got to go back to your company. I have to say good bye to Mr. William. Sorry to trouble you again. Please drive me to the company.â
Daniel looked forward and said ok.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Complex.
Hardly had Daniel entered the company when he was called away by his assistant.
âWait for me in Williamâs office.â he said to Sherry.
Sherry smiled and nodded, âGo.â
It seemed that Daniel still wanted to say something, but the assistant was urging him so he couldnât say anything at last.
This was the second time Sherry has come to Complex. Compared with the nervousness last time, she was much more relaxed now.
When she reached the floor where Williamâs office was located, she found the direction of his office according to her memory, but just when she arrived at the door, she saw Williamâs assistant come out with a tray.
On the tray were some blood-stained gauzes and some medicine.
Seeing this, Sherry was startled, âWhatâs this?â
The assistant answered, âWilliamâs old wound was torn apart. We have just dealt with it.â
Sherry asked in a hurry, âIs it serious?â
âNo, itâs not. He is just too busy at work and has not taken a good rest to recover from his injuries.â
At this time, the assistantâs phone rang, he placed the tray on the table next to her, and walked away to answer the phone.
Sherry was stunned at that moment, this situation...
Holy mother! The sheer luck she had!
She turned her head and looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby. Then she secretly took out a plastic bag from her bag pack, picked up a piece of gauze and quickly put it into the bag. Her hands were slightly trembling during the whole process for fear of being discovered.
After all this, she finally took relief, knocked on the door of Williamâs office, and walked in.
Not far away, the assistant turned around. He was sweaty.
He talked to the phone, âMr. Conrad, I have done just as you asked, but could you tell me the reason?â
Clarence answered indifferently, âYou will know after a while.â
