"Is there any problem?" Sheryl asked with a wide smile. She then added, "Actually, I feel safer that it is you who is managing our company now. You should also know that I don't have the skill to operate a company. Thus, it is really you who should be taking over it. However, I'm very good at planning. We'll definitely be good business partners."
"Sher, I couldn't always stay here," replied Isla as she shot Sheryl an apologetic stare.
It was only after a few seconds that Sheryl looked at Isla and realized that she wasn't joking at all. She instantly got worried and asked, "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong?"
"None," answered Isla while helplessly shaking her head. She continued, "I just want to remind you that the company is yours. You should learn how to manage it. In terms of writing plans, there are many young planners. You should create opportunities for them too, right? You can't just take the bread out of these planners' mouth, can you?"
"Uh…" Sheryl was taken aback by Isla's words. She never thought of that since she came back and worked for the company. She had buried herself into writing plans and completely forgot about the young planners that were employed by their company. It seemed that it was the perfect time to offer them some opportunities.
"Oh, my God! I nearly forget about this!" she exclaimed as she patted her forehead. An embarrassed smile cracked her lips as she said to Isla, "You are right. After I finish the two cases I'm currently working on, I'll hand the other cases to them."
"That's all right. I will gradually hand my things to you in the next few days. You are the real boss of the company. You should take your true responsibility now," said Isla as she put on a wide smile.
"Please be honest with me, Isla. What's wrong? Is there anything bad that happened?" Sheryl said worriedly as she stared at Isla.
Isla paused for a second upon hearing her words. Based on Sheryl's concerned expression, she knew that Sheryl had misunderstood her. That was funny! Thus, she said with a smile, "Sher, I have been staying here since you left three years ago. I do so because I believe that you will surely come back. I don't want you to see the company in a poor condition once you're back. That's why I stayed here and waited."
She stopped to gather her thoughts and then continued, "However, now that you're here, I guess it's time for me to return the company to you. I don't mean anything else."
"Really?" Sheryl asked puzzledly.
"Yes, that's basically it," replied Isla. She then added, "Don't you know that I've never had time to relax since I handled your company? I didn't even have time for my family! Furthermore, Aron had been unsatisfied with me for the past three years. It is only after I return all these things to you that I can come back to my family."
Sheryl heaved a deep sigh after hearing her reasons. She then said, "I will try my best to master the company management as soon as possible so that you can have more time with your family."
After lunch, Sheryl went to the site and monitored the worker's job. She also took that time to check whether there was anything that needed to be replaced in the location.
Helin was very specific with what she wanted with this birthday party. Although she couldn't give Helin what she 'exactly' wanted, she must at least make sure that the party site wouldn't disappoint her client.
Everybody had kept working until midnight, including Sheryl. She was about to go home when she noticed a familiar man waiting for her by the door. It was Charles.
"Why are you here?" She walked briskly toward him with a big smile.
Seeing her bright face, Charles grinned back at her and replied, "My wife is still at work and hasn't come back. Thus, I have to come here and find her."
Sheryl instantly explained, "The activity will be held tomorrow. However, the flowers can only be sent here tomorrow. It is the reason why I have to stay here. I need to make sure that all other things can be solved today. Otherwise, we'll be too pressured tomorrow."
