After what happened last night, those models were now aware that Sheryl held a special place in Charles' heart. So, they all started to crowd around her to butter her up.
"Oh dear Sheryl, you've got an awfully glossy skin. How do you usually take care of it?" said one of the models.
"Yeah. And look at your figure. No one would think that you've already given birth," added another.
"Sheryl, it was all because of Kitty. She drove a wedge between us. But don't worry, we are all friends now. Well then, could you put in some good words for us to Mr. Lu?" Another model was not able to hide their real motive anymore.
"Yeah, that's right," another model agreed.
Sheryl couldn't deal with such flattery but she still smiled politely.
'They are a group of fickle women. They can easily change according to circumstances. They don't really mean any words they say at all, ' she thought.
Sheryl remembered the time when Chris visited their rehearsal. These models acted the same then. They haD also said the same words to her.
Sheryl hesitated for a few seconds before she replied to them, "Guys, Mr. Lu and I are just friends. Regarding what happened last night, Mr. Lu just did his job and it has nothing to do with me."
She continued with a smile, "If it happened to anyone of you, Mr. Lu will definitely do the same."
"Come on. There's no need to stand on ceremony," one of the models said. She stepped forward and held Sheryl's hand intimately. Sheryl remembered this model. She was the one who took the lead in saying that she wanted to continue working in Charles' company. Her name seemed to be Rita Ding.
"We all know your relationship with Mr. Lu. But don't worry, we are all your friends now so we will never talk nonsense about it," Rita Ding added while still holding Sheryl's arm. "You are so cool, Sheryl. You already have an excellent boyfriend beside you. All of us saw him too. He is a very gentle and a caring man. Now, Mr. Lu is also fascinated by you. How did you do that?"
Rita Ding looked curiously at Sheryl and continued, "One is a considerate man who takes good care of you and the other is a haughty boss who is handsome and rich but also very kind to you. Who will you choose?"
Sheryl exhibited a displeasure upon hearing her words. She had been trying to get rid of Charles and she didn't want her private life to be talked about.
She didn't know how far she would go with Charles but at this moment, she was still Anthony's girlfriend. If ever she would get together with Charles someday, that would only happen after she broke up with Anthony.
She didn't want to be looked upon as a cheater.
"I told you Rita Ding, we are just friends," Sheryl countered. She was already frowning. "Can you please stop saying things like those?"
"I'm just chatting with you," Rita Ding said with a pout. She couldn't understand Sheryl at all. So she continued with a smile, "If I were you, I would definitely choose Mr. Lu. Anthony is sweet but he is not perfect. On the other hand, Mr. Lu is handsome, rich, powerful, and full of charm. It would only make sense if you dump Anthony and choose Mr. Lu."
What Rita Ding really meant was to relieve Sheryl's guard against herself. She planned to become Sheryl's best friend so that she could get a chance to be noticed by Charles.
But she didn't expect that her words would completely irritate Sheryl who had just been standing aside without saying a word.
