I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 17

Sheri turns and there stood the devil that she's running from. His handsome devilish looked wearing a tuxedo while holding a glass of wine exudes a gorgeous man. His smile that once captivated her is now for Sheri a smile of a Devil.

Her fears shoot up and her face drained of blood, her hands start to sweat, her back runs chills and her legs become soft. Like a movie screen, it shows how he tortured her. She starts to shake. She clasped her two hands so that it will not tremble. The man in front of her looks worried when she looked pale.

"Are you alright?" he walked closer toward her.

She, on the other hand, almost fall to the ground luckily Ric was there and immediately run to hold her before Eric does. Sheri pretended to faint in the arms of Ric. Eric's hands hang in the air and full of concern rushed toward him. Ric carried her older sister and run toward his car exiting at the backdoor of the building and drive toward the hospital.

Eric was so worried that he wanted to chase them, but was hindered with so many women wants to talk to him.

The other man saw everything that happened on he was angry at the same time worried about how she is.

On the way toward the hospital, Sheri tries to calm herself.

"Ric bring me home I just need a rest." Sheri softly said.

Ric looked at her sister.

" You seem a ghastly pale while ago what happened? Did that man do something? How come you fainted?" ask Ric

Sheri giggle

"I just pretend because I'm bored," she cheekily lied.

Ric sigh " Sis. Don't do that again if you plan to faint tell me I'll join you with your fun, better call mom and dad." Ric shook his head.

"Alright, I will" Sheri smile. She dialed her parent's number and informs them that Ric brought her home.

Morning arrives, and she's preparing everything to go to her office. While on the staircase ready to head out. The butler came holding a bunch of roses.

"Ma'am it's for you." The butler said.

Sheri twitches her face. Thinking just one day of going to a party, she invited a bee already.

She admires the roses and smells them and look at the card.

"Beautiful roses for a beautiful lady. I hope your feeling much better."

Xx,

Eric Copper.

The moment she read those sentences. Her hands drop the roses and paled.

"Shred those and throw them out immediately."

She shakily asked the butler.

The butler saw how shaken Sheri is. He didn't inquire but surely he will say it toward their madam. He picked the bundle of roses on the floor and went toward the garbage bin. Sheri runs toward her room. She was frightened. She undresses and washes every skin that the roses touch she scrubs, especially her hands.

She felt disgusted. Everything about that man brings shivers on her. She can nevertheless feel those lifeless eyes when his torturing her. She scrubs and scrubs until her hands were red. She vowed she would never involve her self toward them. Then why is that he is giving her attention. A chill runs through Sheri's spine just thinking about yesterday and now the flower.

After changing with new attire, she went out of her room. She sought the butler.

"Uncle Ben, if another flower or any item that comes from Eric Copper, can you throw them immediately or give it to someone or better yet returned it. Tell them I don't accept any gifts. I don't have any good notion regarding that man." Sheri softly spoke toward uncle Ben. Uncle Ben, want to inquire more, but he stopped in the midway when he saw the way she acted while ago. It seems that man did something that makes her jump like that.
