Sheri picked the bag of the old lady and walked elegantly in her direction. Her assistant was soothing the elderly woman while she was inside her car hyperventilating. When her assistant saw Sheri with the purse of the elderly, she was ecstatic. She went out and greet Sheri.
"Thank you miss." said the assistant of the elderly woman. Sheri hand over the elders clutch bag to her assistant but the assistant hand it immediately toward the elderly.
The elder woman looked at Sheri nearly burst into tears.
"You're welcome maám, are you ok?" Sheri looked at the older woman with concern.
"I'm all right, I was merely shaken."The elderly lady looked inside her bag and speedily brings out an old Rolex watch. She eagerly grasps and holds it closed to her heart and burst into tears.
Sheri stares at the old's ladies action thinking "Perhaps that watch has a big sentimental value with her." Sheri thought.
"I'm sorry, this is the only piece of my dear husband that gently reminds me of him. I always carry it with me wherever I go, so I was a little bit shocked when that thief got my clutch bag." stuttered the elder lady.
Sheri smiled at her. "Then it's my pleasure maám to help you."
The old lady felt warm looking at the gaze of the young lady in front of her. She inspects if she's ok and saw her skirt ripped in half. She worriedly asked.
"Let me buy you a new skirt. It's all my fault you rip your skirt." offers the old woman
Sheri carefully shakes her head and said.
"This is my old skirt anyway, so it's fine and I'm a little bit of rush so I sincerely hope you don't mind I have to decline," Sheri respectfully said.
The elderly woman naturally wants to persuade her, but Sheri is hurrying so she gently turned down her proposal. Since the old lady can't persuade her, she gave her, her business card. Sheri accepted it and put it directly inside her pocket and made an excuse and rushed toward the restaurant. Because of her heroism, the gourmet restaurant gave her order free of charge and a VIP card in which it gives her access to freely eat there.
When she received the food and the card, she insists on paying but the manager stubbornly didn't let her. On the other hand, she was so thrilled because that restaurant is one of the best in the town. Unknowingly toward her, the owner of that restaurant was the elder lady.
Sheri didn't see the stares of the people who didn't see the fight when she walked in and out of the restaurant. It's a high-end restaurant so walking with a ripped skirt made everyone notice her.
On the other side of the road, a man witness everything that has happened.
"Investigate who is that lady." he coldly commanded.
Even the secretary was amazed at how a woman can knock a bulky man. The secretary takes note of her plate number and begins to investigate.
After a few minutes, He conveyed the information to his boss. Her profile is well written in details and even her history and her family background was included.
He reads and puts his finger on his chin thinking deep.
"Sheri Hoal, interesting", he closes his eye and recollects what he saw. He is a man from the military and has a lot of dealings of the underworld. He knows her during their university days but only in name. He never thought he would see her in action. Her beautiful legs were embedded in his mind. And the way she gracefully walked with her skirt that was ripped. Cause a ripple in his cold-blooded heart. He desires her. The sole problem she's not someone. She is a Hoal.
