"Yes, that's why I agreed to this. It will be a good opportunity for us as well. All our staff are going to be there. We will have the chance to meet some of the most successful businessmen in Y City. It'll be good for Cloud Advertising Company." Isla had the same opinion as Sheryl.
Saturday came quickly. Charles put on a classic suit. As he looked at himself in the mirror, a smile lingered on his lips. He was pretty satisfied with his look for the evening.
"What are you up to? Are you going on a blind date?" Sheryl questioned, with a frown on her face.
She was busy preparing some things when she stole a glance at Charles. As the activity planner, she was naturally supposed to attend the Tarsan Corporation wine party.
"Don't judge me. Aren't you dressed up too? It's just a planning for a wine party of some small company. Is it really necessary to dress up like this? Aren't you worried of being targeted by other men?" Charles retorted.
"Whoever said I was going for some small company's wine party? It's a major corporation, which has recently moved its core business to Y City. Powerful and successful people are attending the party," said Sheryl with her nose in the air. All of a sudden, something hit her.
"Wait...Which company's party are you going to?" "Don't tell me you are talking about Tarsan Corporation!"
Sheryl and Charles both blurted out simultaneously. They looked at each other, dumbstruck.
"Yes, I am talking about Tarsan Corporation!" Sheryl nodded, with a mixed expression of shock and surprise.
"So, you have been planning the party for Tarsan Corporation?" Charles asked. He had a bad feeling. But on second thought, he might be overthinking things.
After his recent contact with Rachel, Charles felt that she had no lingering feelings for him. She was no longer the old Rachel, the one who always stuck to him.
Now, she was the CEO of Tarsan Corporation.
As the president of such an important corporation, she would not be foolish enough to take revenge on Sheryl by sacrificing the image of her company.
"Yes. Didn't I mention it before?" Sheryl asked. Going back to her previous conversation with Charles, she realized that she had not mentioned Tarsan Corporation when she had talked about it with him.
"Charles, what's wrong? Charles?" Charles was lost in his thoughts and had not been listening to her.
He shook off the bad feeling and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering...When we arrive at the party, would you like to introduce yourself as the head of Cloud Advertising Company or my wife? Which would be better?" He decided not to tell Sheryl about Rachel.
He knew how much time and energy Sheryl had spent on this. He did not want her to have any doubts about the efforts she had put in.
'At the party, Sheryl will surely find out that Rachel is the president of Tarsan Corporation. Rachel would definitely stay calm since it will be a party with so many eyes on her. And Sheryl of course, wouldn't be silly enough to ruin her reputation either, ' Charles thought.
"It's hard to decide. There will be people who know us at the party. We might as well go as husband and wife." Sheryl didn't think it was a big deal.
"Daddy, Mommy, where are you going?" Clark ran towards them.
Sheryl embraced the little boy as he approached her. "Daddy and Mommy are going to a very important party, Clark. Nancy will take care of you. We'll be back soon. To make up for today, how about we take you to the amusement park tomorrow?" Sheryl said in a fond, motherly tone.
