“What are you laughing at? Have you not eaten? Or are you still hungry?” Sherry revealed a cordial and

concerned expression. “Do you want me to treat you to another meal?”

John was silent for a few moments before smiling. “You posted that picture just for me to see, didn’t you?”

Sherry froze for a moment and asked, “Are you talking about the photo you commented on on my social media?”

“Yes.”

Sherry smiled. “You think too much. | took that photo a long time ago and happened to be a bit bored this morning, so | uploaded

a selfie along with my post.”

John pursed his lips and looked at her sharply.

Sherry’s gaze flickered, and she asked, “Master Stockton,

don’t tell me you asked me to come over because you were attracted by that photo of mine.”

She had a surprised expression. However, it would have

been more natural if the corners of her mouth did not

twitch while she held back a smile.

John’s throat constricted for a moment, then he curled his lips. “What kind of partnership did you want to talk to me about?”

Sherry immediately put the prepared letter of intent on the desk in front of him and said, “We want to develop a casino in

Glanchester and sincerely invite you to join and mentor us. The specific details of the project are inside, so please read it.”

John’s eyes flickered slightly. This was the first time he had seen her look so serious in all the years he had known her. She

looked quite capable.

He lowered his head and flipped through the letter of

intent, but he only skimmed through a few pages before tossing it to the side.

Sherry frowned.

He smiled and looked at her. “I’m not free now. When |

am, I'll definitely read it over carefully and get back to

you.”

Sherry forced a smile. “Sure.”

That damned man must be deliberately putting on airs.

“| still have work to do and can’t entertain you, so you

can leave now.” With that, he picked up his teacup and drank from it.

Sherry looked around the office.

There was a space filled with children’s toys and plushies. It was clear at first glance that it was Caprice’s area.

However, Caprice was not around. She could understand if he did not bring Caprice to last night’s Business

Association conference because it had been crowded.

However, he should have brought her over today.

“What are you still standing there for?” The man’s somewhat irritated voice suddenly rang out.

Sherry’s gaze flickered, and she clutched her stomach while frowning at him. “I suddenly have a stomachache.

Do you have a washroom here, Master Stockton?”

John narrowed his eyes. “No.”

Sherry frowned at him. “Then, how do you usually go to

the toilet?”

He glanced at her. “If you want to go to the toilet, then go

outside.”

“No, it hurts too much. | can’t hold it in anymore!” She

suddenly ran toward the lounge inside his office while holding her stomach.

John was unable to react in time, and she managed to run past him. His expression darkened as he quickly chased

after her.

Sherry scampered into the lounge in a flash.

Unsurprisingly, she saw Caprice’s figure on the bed.

The little girl’s chubby body was lying under the small quilt. Her two small hands were clenched into tiny fists resting on top of the

quilt, and her eyes and mouth were closed as she slept soundly.

Sherry’s eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to go.

over.

However, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came

from behind her.

She did not want him to throw her out so quickly.

Looking around, she saw the washroom and headed

straight in that direction. Then, she closed the door after going inside.

John happened to walk in at that moment. He looked at the still-sleeping Caprice, then at the washroom door

that had just been closed, and held back his anger. He stopped and walked over to the bed.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Sherry crouched right behind the washroom door.

After not hearing any movement outside for a long time, she quietly pulled the door open a crack and moved to the doorway to

look outside.

The next thing she saw was a pair of long, straight legs right in front of her. She tilted her head and met a pair of eyes smiling

sinisterly.

John curled his lips at her. “Done with your business ?” Sherry smiled. “Not yet.”
