I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 33

Lunchtime. Since Sheri was alone and was busy doing all the paper works. She asked her assistant to buy her a lunch. She has no time to go out, and she felt lazy to walk since it's raining. While focusing on her work, Her phone buzzed. It was constantly ringing that she is irritated. Mostly Xiao is the one who will pick up but since he went to buy his and her lunch, Sheri has to do it.

"Hoal Enterprise, Sheri speaking. How can I help you?" Sheri asked.

"Ms. Sheri, it's Devon. How are you?" Devon asked on the other line.

Sheri paused what she was doing and grab the hand phone tight.

"Hello Ms. Hoal, are you still there?" Devon concernedly asked.

Sheri starts to breathe. Another mantra starts in her head.

"Ye...yes. I'm here. How can I help you Mr. Goori? Sheri asked nervously.

"I am delighted you're the one who picks the phone. I'm just wondering, when are you available for dinner? You keep on avoiding me. It's just a dinner to thank you. Besides my grandmother really wanted to meet you again." Devon said.

Sheri sighs and pinches her forehead.

"Alright, Mr. Goori...

"Devon," said Devon

"Alright, Mr. Devon next week Friday is that good for you? Around 6 p.m.?" Sheri said.

Devon smiles on the other side of the phone. He has been trying to have dinner with her for almost a year now.

"That's excellent. I'll come and pick you up." Devon said.

Sheri furrowed her brows.

"You don't have to do that Mr. Devon just tell me the place and address and I will meet you there," Sheri said.

"That would be a discourteous for me, Ms. Hoal," Devon said. Sheri sighs on the other end.

"Alright Mr. Devon, I'll message you soon my address," Sheri said. She wants to end the talk. For her, they don't deserve her time.

Devon smiled and said goodbye and Sheri message him a different address. She sends him the address of Sven and sets it on her agenda. She will never give her address toward them, so why not use the address of her brother?

At 8 pm she looked at her phone and saw many miscalls from her mom she called her back to inform her she will be arriving. The dinner is already gone by, but Sheri still wants to see her siblings, so she decided to visit. She packed her stuff and went toward the garage of their building and drives her car. While driving, she hears a puff sound. She had a bad feeling about this. She slows down at where the light is. She gets out of her car and checks her front tire. Sheri frown her front tires is deflated. She saw that a piece of broken glass stuck in her tire.

"Sigh, my first day of coming back home and still it's not my best day," Sheri mumbled.

She promptly pulled her mobile phone and called her dad.

"The number you have dialed cannot be reached.". Sheri squeezes her forehead. She looked at her phone and saw no signal. The road she is, is having a hard time to have a phone signal due to its terrain. Their area is the outskirt of the city.
