Chapter 2808
My Wife is a Hacker
Ultimately, Cherry felt that her family was so upset with her that they might even consider disowning her.
Sensing Cherryâs sadness, Stanley hesitated for a moment and said, âAfter you leave, I think your father will approach me. Iâll try to talk him out of it.â
For a moment, Cherryâs eyes lit up. âThank you for that.â
She knew her father had a very favorable impression of Stanley. If Stanley spoke well of her, there was a chance that her father would not be as angry and saddened by what she had done.
As they shared this sympathetic farewell, the others chatted away. No one was aware that Tia had been gone for quite some time.
âWhereâs Tia?â Nicole frowned and asked after everyone had eaten their fill.
âShe said she went to the restroom,â Cherry answered.
She then frowned and pursed her lips as she suddenly realized, âShe has been gone for quite a long time, hasnât she?â âIâll go check on her,â Stanley abruptly stood up and headed toward the exit.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
With that, Cherry followed suit, âSheâs in the womenâs restroom.â
Stanley was so anxious that he had forgotten about the fact that he could not enter the womenâs restroom.
âI hope Tia is okay,â Lulu remarked in concern.
âLetâs wait for a bit. Stanley and Cherry have gone out to look for her. They should be back soon,â June advised, though her gaze had drifted toward the exit as well.
Meanwhile, Nicole was biting her lip worrying about Tia. She was wondering what had taken Tia so long to return to the room.
After ten minutes, Cherry returned to the room alone.
âWhere are they?â Lulu anxiously asked.
âTia is really drunk. She collapsed at the entrance of the restroom. Stanley has decided to drive her back. Donât worry. He said he will take care of her, â Cherry explained.
âAlright, with Stanley taking care of her, we can all rest easy,â June nodded.
She then asked Nicole. âWeâre almost done eating. How about we leave in a few minutes too?â âSure,â
the others agreed.
After all, the night was getting late, and everyone needed to get some good sleep for the day after.
âLetâs go then.â
As everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Cherry addressed the entire group and said, âThank you all for coming to see me off. I wonât inform you about my departure from the airport the day after tomorrow. Farewells are a little hard for me.â âOkay, we wonât see you off. When you come back, weâll remember to pick you up, though,â Lulu said before giving her a beaming smile.
âI think Iâll be back soon.â Cherry returned the smile. âMy return will depend on Stanley and Tia.â âThat might be sooner than expected!â they said, whereupon everyone shared a knowing laugh.
After that dinner, everyone in the room had a clearer understanding of Stanleyâs feelings for Tia. If Stanley could just be a little more straightforward with his intentions, the moment they had all been waiting for would not be far off.
As everyone was about to leave, Cherry noticed a group of people coming out from the adjacent private room.
At the front was Harvey, and behind him were a few people whom Nicole could recognize with a single glance.
âHarvey still hasnât given up,â Lulu muttered, catching Nicoleâs attention.
The men in the other room were the executives of the companies Nicole had secured all those projects from. It seemed that Harvey had invited them for a meal, most likely to discuss project-related matters.
Harvey was standing frozen with his mouth agape, as he did not expect to run into Nicole and the others. Both sides were taken by surprise, making the situation very awkward for everyone involved.
âLetâs go,â June called out, breaking the silence.
Both parties gradually walked away without greeting the other side, pretending as if they had not bumped into each other at all.
