I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 18

When Sheri is done with her talks. She turned around and was supposed to hug her dad to say that Mr. Jack is considering their offer, her excitement went towards the drain when she saw the guests in her father's office. She was shaken. She holds her phone tight to stop her shaky hands. Her knees want to give way, but she is just rooted in her place. She stares at her father questioning why is that man in his office. Her father glances at her daughter's inquiry look.

"Mr. Devon meets my oldest daughter Sheri Hoal." Devon got up from his seat and smile. He walked sophisticated toward Sheri who looked pale. He extends his hand to shake her hand. Sheri grips her cellphone harder almost crushing her phone. She reaches out and shakes his hand and pretends nothing.

"Nice to meet you ms. Sheri". He raises her hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Sheri summoned all her strength to be not disgusted, shaken, stutter nor faint.

Her brother and father lifts their eyebrows. When they saw how Devon was eager to hold her hand. On the other side Sheri is chanting so many mantras to take off her mind of all the images that passed through her mind.

The moment he tenderly touches her hand he feels electrocuted. Her hand is beautiful, soft and cold. His ecstatic trance was interrupted when she spoke and gradually pulled her hand.

"Same here Mr. Devon, how can we help you?" said Sheri, putting her hand on her back.

The moment she pulled her hand at his grasp he frowns. He wanted to continue holding her. He looked at her beautiful face and smile.

"I came on behalf of my grandmother," Devon said.

Sheri was confused, but Devon saw her facial reaction.

" A few months ago you helped my grandmother when a thief got her bag. Her bag contains my late grandfather's watch. She wanted to come personally and thank you one more time, but she had a small accident, and we've been tracking you for how many months and luckily we have found you, that's why she sends me. My grandmother wants to collaborate. After she found out that you are from the family Hoal."

Devon said, in which half lie and half-truth.

Unknowingly from her. The moment, his grandma's secretary notify him of what happened. He let someone investigate and looked at the camera in front of the restaurant. When the video arrived, he watched it and was surprised by how she kicked, punch and elegantly walked with her ripped skirt. The way she humbly spoke toward his grandma makes him interested to meet her. He wanted to meet her yesterday at the party but was hindered.

On the other side. Sheri was angry at herself. If she knew the old woman was his grandma, She wouldn't mediate. She was infuriated of herself. Inside her, she's fuming with anger. For the sake of appearance, she painstakingly didn't show her emotion in her face.

"It's nothing, Mr. Devon. I think everyone would do what I did."

Sheri said.

He chuckled and looked at her beautiful eyes.

"Not everyone can do what you did that day," Devon said with a grinning smile.

Her father was curious about what, did her daughter, did to make this devil come to their company.

Her father was a clean businessman, and they don't want to have dealings with a man who runs one of the biggest underworlds. He knows his family clan was built by blood of other's that's why he doesn't want to offend this man.

Her brother remembers what happened a few months ago. If their parents know what happened, they will be horrified and shocked.

Sheri looked at his brother trying to make a conversation through her eye. Devon saw it and chuckle.

Her brother responded. "Mr. Devon, it's enough that you personally came and thank us. For collaboration, we know that collaborating with your company will indeed benefit us, but we are just a small business compare to your empire." Sven politely said.

Sheri was satisfied to hear those words of her brother.

She smiles toward him and looked at Mr. Devon who was surprised.

Devon stiffens when he saw her smile. He was still for a moment and stares intently toward Sheri.
