Chapter 123: Chapter 123

“Release me, mister!” Sherry yanked back her arm and said, “I said that it’s alright. I’m going to be late, I’m sorry!” She continued to flag for the second taxi.

“Where are you going? I’ll send you. Consider it as compensation for dirtying your clothes. I don’t like to be indebted to anyone!” The man insisted.

“Ah! No need! It’s alright.” Sherry said and looked at the man, “Mister, I’m really going to be late soon. I’m sorry!”

“Then let’s go!” The man insisted and held onto Sherry’s hand again. He led her to the Bugatti and said, “I’ll send you!”

He shoved Sherry into the front passenger seat as she looked helplessly at him and pondered how could this man be so demanding? He was as demanding as William!

She felt amused and said, “Mister, you really don’t have to send me. I’ll take a cab!”

“Quiet!” The man said calmly, started the car, and asked, “Put on your seatbelt. Where do you want to go?”

She was helpless and could only tell him the company’s address. This man was frighteningly demanding! At this moment, she received a message.

Sherry held onto her cellphone tightly as if she was trying to get some comfort from the phone. She looked at the message and it read: Sherry, why didn’t you reply to my message? I’m worried about you! Are you at the office yet? Reply to me once you are at the office! Kisses, my precious...

She was stunned and blushed for a moment. She quickly replied.

Sherry: I’ll arrive soon!

She then looked at him who also turned to look at her. His pair of stern and deep eyes glanced chillingly at Sherry.

She unconsciously shivered and said, “Thanks, Mister.”

The driver of the Bugatti was high and lofty. What kind of apology was this? Was this goodwill for him to send her to the office? She felt as though she was sitting in an enemy’s car.

“Your name!” The man suddenly asked.

“Oh?” Sherry was startled and answered cautiously, “We’re just a chance encounter. There’s no need for you to know my name. Thanks, Mister for sending me to work!”

The man raised his eyebrows and scoffed which made Sherry feel very uncomfortable.

The two of them remained silent till they reached the office. Once the car stopped, Sherry removed the seat belt and said politely, “Thanks, Mister!”

Sherry was stunned that the man drove into the company basement garage and parked the car.

“Sherry, you know Reggie Kelly?” Keegan Fox just arrived and saw that Sherry’s jacket was soiled and looked at Reggie who was walking over. He was surprised as he just saw Sherry exiting from Reggie’s car.

“Reggie?” Sherry was stunned and pointed to that man, “Do you know that man?”

“Yeah, an old friend. We’ve done some business in the past!” Keegan then said to that man as he walked over, “Reggie, when did you come back to the country?”

Reggie’s gaze fell onto the stunned Sherry and nonchalantly said, “I just came back!”

“You really know each other?” Sherry pointed to Reggie and then realized that it was rude to point at someone and quickly lowered her hand.

“I’ll do the introduction.” Keegan introduced both of them.

Sherry didn’t expect this arrogant Eurasian man would come to their office.

“Coffee’s ready!” Sherry served the coffee to Keegan’s office and Reggie was sitting on the sofa. Reggie’s expression changed when Sherry walked in. Sherry placed the cups of coffee on the table and was about to walk out of the office. Reggie raised the cup, took a sip, and frowned. His eyes lit up and unconsciously praised, “Ms. Murray, your coffee is fantastic!”

“Oh! Thanks!” Sherry grinned, “Keegan, I’ll go back to my work. Reggie, have a nice day.”

After she left, Reggie looked at the door and pondered.

“Reggie, how is your wife? Did she come back with you?”

Reggie’s scoffed when he heard the word wife and softly acknowledged. He held onto the cup of coffee and continued to ponder.

“You’re alright with her remaining in France on her own?” Keegan was puzzled.

...

“Sherry, your son is very cute! Next time bring him to my place!” Cohen said as she brought a cup of coffee for him.

“Okay, Mr. Sutton, Dan is still young and say the silliest things, please don’t take offense.” Sherry smiled.

“No, don’t say that. He is very cute. So it’s agreed. This weekend I’ll have Keegan to pick him up and go over to my place for a couple of days.”

“But...”

“You can’t bear to leave him to me?” Cohen raised his eyebrows.

Sherry shook her head, “Mr. Sutton, you hardly get to rest and should relax during the weekends. Dan is still a kid and can be quite a handful.”

“Sherry, don’t be so selfish. I have no child and you should let me experience the joy of having a kid in the house!”

No child? Then Cohen was indeed pitiful.

Sherry nodded and said, “Okay, if Mr. Sutton isn’t afraid of him bothering you, then I’ll send him over on the weekend.”

“Thanks!” Cohen smiled radiantly and looked happier than sealing a business deal. “Let’s have lunch together at a decent restaurant! We’ll have a proper welcome for Reggie!”

“Okay, Mr. Sutton. I won’t go but I’ll make the reservations for you.” Sherry now knew that Reggie and Cohen were old friends. Reggie chatted with Cohen for a while before going to Keegan’s office.

“Come with us, consider it as part of your work!” Cohen said and laughed, “Reggie’s cold and lofty but is the same as Keegan. They are all good young men and very loyal. Don’t be put off by their loftiness.”

“Erm.” Sherry nodded but was unsettled. Reggie wasn’t just cold and lofty because when she saw him, she had a terrifying feeling.

“Okay.” She answered.

Sherry got back to her work and felt that someone was staring at her. She quickly raised her head and saw Reggie standing at the director’s office glass panel. He was looking towards her direction and deep in thoughts. Even when separated with a glass panel, she was able to see his sharp glare and it sent shivers down her spine.

Sherry made reservations at the Wait restaurant.

After they arrived at the Wait restaurant, they waited for their seats at the entrance. She saw Reggie pursed his lips as he looked at the signboard of the restaurant.

“Hmm, I’ve passed by this restaurant numerous times but this is the first time I came in. It looks good!” Cohen gently raised his eyebrows and his eyes glimmered, “Looks like the name of the restaurant has a hidden message. I wonder who the boss is waiting for!”

His innocent sentence caused Sherry’s heart to skip a beat. Could it be that Mr. Sutton knew that Susan and Leon were couples some time ago?

Damn, she should not have made reservations here. How foolish was she?

Sherry saw Leon from a distance. He knew that Sherry made the reservations and left a good spot for them. Leon was surprised to see three men with Sherry.

“Sherry, I’ve kept the best table for you!”

“Thanks, Leon!” Sherry smiled and thanked Leon.

As soon as Cohen saw Leon, his eyes lit up and said, “I didn’t expect the boss to be a handsome young man. Your restaurant must attract a lot of young girls! Of course, they are more attracted to the boss!”

Leon laughed and replied, “Mr. Sutton is so humorous!”

“Am I?” Cohen looked around at the patrons and it was clear that there were mostly young ladies and said, “The reality is all for us to see. Don’t be humble. Your restaurant is very artistic, I like it!”

Cohen said profoundly while Leon remained calm.

Sherry took a peek at Leon. It appeared that Leon did not know the details between Mr. Sutton and Susan. Otherwise, he would not be so calm. But then she couldn’t detect anything either from Mr. Sutton’s behavior!

After showing them their seats, Leon pulled Sherry aside and asked, “Sherry, why are you working at “Cohen Group’? Everyone says that Cohen is a womanizer. Don’t be fooled by him!”

Sherry smiled and shook her head, “Leon, Mr. Sutton is very humorous. It’s not what the rumors are outside. He will not touch the female colleagues.

Furthermore, I consider him my elder! Thanks for your concern. How are you recently?”

Leon sighed, “I can’t say that I’m well, neither am I not doing well. So... I’m neutral.”

Sherry suddenly thought about the issue between Susan and Cohen. Perhaps Susan and Cohen had some undisclosed relationship. If that was the case, then it wasn’t sure how long Leon had to wait for Susan!

“Leon, quickly get a sister-in-law for Celia and me so that you won’t be so lonely!” As soon as Sherry said that, she could see that Leon’s face turned pale.

He awkwardly replied, “I don’t believe in marriages! I don’t want to get married. You girls can forget about having a sister-in-law! Go back to them, they’re waiting for you to make their orders.”

After saying, Leon smiled and patted her shoulders, “Go, you’ve lost a lot of weight and must eat more!”

“Leon...”

“Go!” Leon nodded and left.

Looking at his back view, Sherry could detect a sense of loneliness and desolation. Her heart ached as she pondered that it would be difficult for Leon to end up with Susan.

“Reggie, how can you be comfortable with your wife being alone in France?” Cohen asked without a second thought.

Reggie’s hand trembled as he held a cup of coffee, pursed his lips, and calmly said, “We’ve divorced.”

“Divorce?” Cohen and Keegan were shocked and asked, “What happened?”

When Keegan asked Reggie about his wife, Reggie sighed and didn’t say a word. He felt that something wasn’t right but he didn’t expect them to divorce. Both of them were very surprised by this news. Reggie was deeply in love with his wife!

“When did this happen?” Cohen saw that Reggie’s expression was bitter and realized that he was telling the truth.

“A year!” Reggie calmly said, “It’s all in the past!”

“So long? When did I last go to France?” Keegan?” Cohen frowned.

“Last summer!” Keegan replied.

“Was it that long? How time flies!” Cohen muttered.

“Let’s not talk about it. Mr. Sutton, I’ll be back permanently this time. Let’s change the topic. Your business must be doing well recently?” Reggie’s expression changed back to normal and saw Sherry coming back to their table. His eyes lit up slightly with a hint of emotion.

“Yeah, let’s not dwell on this!” Cohen said and looked at Sherry, “Sherry, sit beside me!” He waved at Sherry and Sherry nodded, “Okay.”

She sat quietly beside Cohen as she didn’t know what she should say.

“Miss, a glass of warm water please!” Keegan said to the waitress.
