Chapter 1455

“It's nothing.” John wiped away the gloom in his eyes

and instructed, “You can head back by yourself after things wrap up here.”

“What about you, aren’t you going home?”

“| have some other things to deal with, I’ll be home later.

“All right.”

The event was concluded shortly after with no hiccups.

After Mr. Carrel addressed the gathering and gave a brief summary, he formally announced the end of the event.

Several people went up to him to bid farewell, and they also went up to John.

Sherry and Carl were similarly treated with the same

amount of respect as groups of people went up to them to say goodbye.

After the round of pleasantries, groups of people flocked

out of the venue one after another.

Since the Sagers were on good terms with Mr. Carrel, Sherry and Carl made sure to go up to Mr. Carrel themselves to say

goodbye before leaving.

As it turned out, it was exceptionally ill timing since

when they approached Mr. Carrel, they noticed John and Julie walking up to him as well.

Sherry frowned and pretended to not notice them by quickly turning away.

John stared at her unabashedly with a sharp squint in his eyes.

Carl promptly stood in front of Sherry to cut off John’s angle.

John seemed to have taken offense to this.

Carl smiled politely and addressed Mr. Carrel, “Old man Carrel, I'll be leaving with Miss Sherry. We'll see you again in another

day or two, alright?”

Mr. Carrel chuckled pleasantly. “Alright, be careful on the way back.”

Carl nodded, then he turned to John and Julie. “Master Stockton, we'll be leaving first. I’ll see you again when | get the chance

to.”

John smiled. “Alright, | look forward to seeing you and President Sherry.”

“Heh, I'll see you.” Carl took Sherry’s hand and turned to leave.

John seemed bothered by this gesture.

Mr. Carrel stepped forward and said, “Master Stockton, I’m afraid | won’t be sending you off. Let's meet again one of these

days.”

John blinked sporadically as if he had just snapped back to his senses. He was very polite and humble with Mr. Carrel. “Alright,

Mr. Wang, we'll be taking our leave

now.

“Alright, see you.”

John gazed at Sherry and Carl departing, then he proceeded to head toward the exit as well.

Julie hurriedly paced after him.

After the red sports car swerved off the manor’s gates, it drove in the opposite direction of where it originally

came from.

It was only around nine p.m. which meant there was a considerable amount of traffic. By the time they reached the city district, it

was still rather packed with cars.

It took a while before they finally passed a traffic light.

Sherry was taking in the view of the city when she suddenly noticed the hotel she had stayed in previously.

Something suddenly came to her as she hurriedly

beckoned, “Carl, please stop the car at the hotel’s entrance over there.”

Carl seemed perplexed by this sudden decision. “What are you up to?”

Sherry told him, “I need to go get my stuff from the hotel and check out from my room.”

She never went back to the hotel after her encounter with John.

Now the situation had changed, she doubted that John would continue pestering her.

She remembered she still had several important documents inside her suitcase, she had to retrieve them now.

“Got it.” Carl was very cooperative and quickly drove to the hotel entrance.

Sherry hurriedly opened the door and stepped out of the car. She noticed Carl unbuckling his seat belt and preparing to get out

of the car with her and quickly stopped him. “It’s just some clothes and a suitcase, it won't take long at all. Just wait for me in the

car, you don’t have to come up with me.”

She would hate to be an inconvenience, especially considering this was something she could handle well enough on her own.

Carl threw her a side-eye glance and joked, “Better hurry up, this young lord doesn’t like to be kept waiting.

Sherry rolled her eyes at him, then she trotted into the hotel.
