A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 22

A unreadable expression flashed across the frozen face and likewise the eyes.

 

His demeanor made Sherry realize that what he did was on purpose. He knew that she didn't have the money, “You are doing it on purpose!"

 

Her hand grabbed her sides tightly as she tried very hard to suppress her anger. William was silent and suddenly stood up which startled Sherry.

 

He grinned and his gaze became unreadable, "Are you scared of me?"

 

"I'm going to do my work!" She turned swiftly. Since she can't resign now, she will resign after completing this partnership project.

 

Sherry lowered her head while simmering in anger and left Mr. Rowland's office.

 

"Sherry? What did Mr. Rowland say?" Ms. Hines asked uncharacteristically.

 

"Ms. Hines, does anyone who wishes to resign need to compensate the company 30 Million yuan?” She suspected that the Rowland Group grew to this size due to this disgusting scheme.

 

“Eh?" Ms. Hines was puzzled, “Why do you say that? Did Mr. Rowland want you to compensate 30 Million yuan?"

 

"Forget about it!" She didn't want to say anymore and fumed as she sat at her workplace.

 

Ms. Hines blinked as that was the first time she heard something of that nature. It was also the first time she heard that Mr. Rowland didn't allow a subordinate to resign. Did that mean that Mr. Rowland and Ms. Murray had some special relationship?

 

“Good morning!” Alice had arrived, “Hi! Sherry! What happened yesterday? How come I didn't see you?"

 

"I'm fine, I was there yesterday!" She lied.

 

“That can't be, Sherry dear, I think you left much earlier!" A man's voice suddenly interrupted.

 

"Dear?" Ms. Hines and Alice remarked in unison.

 

"Yeah! Dearest Anna, dearest Alice, how are both of you?" Liam was elated and looked at the three women, affectionately addressing all of them.

 

Ms. Hines and Alice exchanged looks and they knew that Liam had a great sense of humor.

 

Sherry glared at the mischievous Liam but didn't say a word.

 

"Why? Are you sick?" Liam looked at Sherry and asked out of concern.

 

"Let's get back to work!" Sherry shook her head in resignation.

 

“But you don't seem right!" Liam was doubtful, “What's the matter?”

 

“Nothing! I'll go and make some coffee!" Sherry pursed her lips.

 

She was harassed and wanted to resign but that person wanted compensation. But who will she seek compensation from after being kissed against her wishes?

 

Sherry couldn't even muster a smile when she thought about having to continue to work at the Rowland Group.

 

“Get me a cup!" Liam noticed that she didn't want to elaborate and turned his attention to the other two women.

 

Ms. Hines shook her head while Alice shrugged her shoulders, both didn't know what was happening.

 

“Then I'll go to Mr. Rowland's office, goodbye my dearest!" Liam swaggered towards Mr. Rowland's office.

 

Sherry made the morning coffee and sent it to Mr. Rowland's office. She knocked on the door and entered and saw both Liam and William were sitting on the sofa.

 

"Mr. Rowland, your coffee, Mr. Brooks, your coffee” She said formally and turned to leave only to be called by Liam.

 

“Sherry, what's wrong with you today? You seem strange today!" Liam asked while looking at William indifferently.

 

"Im fine!" Sherry smiled, “I'm going back to work!"

 

"Ms. Murray, make a trip to AVL today. Push them on the cooperation project. I wish to have an effective business plan.William said as Sherry was about to leave.

 

"Yes!" Sherry nodded in confirmation. She felt nauseous that this man was as cunning as a fox.

 

“Just nice I'm going there as well, Sherry, I'll take you there!" Liam took a mouthful of coffee and stood up.

 

William shot a chilling glare at Liam which startled him but he rebelliously asked in return, “Will, why did you glare at me?”

 

Sherry held onto the folders and smiled when she thought about how Liam and William bickered a moment ago. It looked like only a person like Liam who was so careless and casual would make William feel helpless.

 

When Liam drove over in his car and wound down the window, Sherry had already drooped her head, neutralized her expression, and adopted the demeanor of a delicate and meek damsel.

 

"Sherry, get in!"

 

“Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Brooks!" Sherry forced a smile and got into the car but sat in the rear passenger seat”

 

"Good lord, can't you sit beside me?"

 

“I feel that it's more appropriate that I sit behind.” Sherry smiled.

 

Liam rolled his eyes as he looked at her petite face in the rear-view mirror, “"Humph! You must be taking the world's most dashing man, me, as a chauffeur!"

 

Wow, did he have no shame? Sherry thought to herself, but Liam was truly handsome!

 

Liam didn't speak further.

 

After Sherry and Susan finished their official discussions, Susan looked at Sherry who was dressed in a black colored suit like a spinster.

 

"Ms. Gill, is there anything else?"

 

“May I call you Sherry?"

 

"Huh? Of course!” Sherry smiled.
