After Jeremy left, Sherry felt like a deflated balloon. She knew that she needed to be stronger and had to tell him that she wasn't the person he once knew her to be.
While in his office, Jeremy's mind was overtaken by the events of yesterday. He called Barry in to help him with something.
"Contact SZ Advertising Company and tell them that they're going to be in charge of our new products," he dejectedly said.
"But we haven't developed any new products..." said Barry confused.
"Didn't you make a proposal that I recently refused? Use that one," Jeremy said in a flat, abrupt tone. 'What a changeable man,' thought Barry.
Barry was befuddled. Jeremy then added, "By the way, tell Chester that this advertisement planner can only be Sherry, and nobody else!"
It suddenly dawned on Barry that Jeremy was doing all of this because of Sherry.
"Yes, sir!" Barry answered bravely. He put his doubts aside and walked out the office.
Jeremy put his hands on the table and gleefully smiled.
When Sherry arrived at the company, she found that the advertising department was tirelessly slaving away. Sherry put her bag down and looked at the thick pile of documents on the table. Before she could even sit down comfortably, she was called by Langston.
She hurriedly stood up and went to Langston's office.
He threw a pile of documents to her and said, "Take it. From now on, you won't be in charge of the Song Group's case. We've got a new project for you."
Sherry was baffled by Langston's news but took the documents anyway. Across the cover she saw the words, "The Ou Group."
"What's this?" Sherry curiously asked.
"Earlier, Mr. Ou's secretary informed us that he wanted to us to handle his case and that you are to be the designated advertisement planner," Langston said.
Langston wasn't fond of the new manager. There was plenty of gossip about her relationship with Chester before she got this job.
Sherry walked back to her office looking at the documents, still a little stunned.
She took out her phone and dialed Barry hastily. Barry answered quickly with, "Mrs. Ou, what can I do for you?"
"Barry, did Jeremy want to work with SZ Advertising Company and appoint me as the project planner?"
Although she knew the answer, she still wanted to confirm.
"Yes." You could hear the joy in Barry's voice. He was happy to see that this could ease Jeremy and Sherry's relationship.
Was this his revenge? Jeremy's company didn't have any new products to advertise.
However, she still said resolutely, "You can tell him that I like my current job very much. No matter what he does, he won't make me resign!"
Barry was puzzled. Did Jeremy mean to force Sherry to resign?
"Besides, I know what he's thinking. I will do my best to finish this advertising plan and make it work to his liking!"
Sherry didn't care what Jeremy thought; she was determined to do the job well and had made up her mind.
Finishing her words, she hung up the phone. Barry was still confused. Why didn't she just directly call Jeremy?
Barry told his boss what Sherry had said. Jeremy dismissed him after hearing his words.
'Good, Sherry. If you keep working there, I'll eventually get you to quit!'
Just after midday, Sherry went to the Ou Group with her plan.
'It's so annoying. Why can't I just contact him over the phone or call him to come here? Why does Jeremy have to ask me to come to his company?'
Sherry's job was a far from the Ou Group. She had a long taxi drive ahead of her before she got there.
Looking at the tall building in front of her, she was lost in thought. In the past, when she wanted to come here, Jeremy didn't want her around. Now, she could be here, but she didn't want to come at all.
Sometimes time changed an awful lot in life. A man who once didn't love her was now forcing himself into her life.
Sherry stood in the elevator as it went to the top floor. Her mind was fully occupied with how she was going to deal with Jeremy.
It would be shocking if Jeremy actually dealt with her seriously! Sherry already knew this though. She wasn't expecting any better from him.
She was going to be professional though, for the sake of the company and her interests as a business woman.
Jeremy's office was so quiet to the point you could hear a pin drop. Three people sat in a small office outside Jeremy's. Sherry didn't know the people in there except for Barry.
Barry immediately welcomed her and said, "Boss is inside. You can go in directly."
Barry dared not call her, "Mrs. Ou" in front of the other people.
Sherry nodded, walked to the office door and pushed it open.
A shadow of a gentle figure fell on the floor from a tall and strong man standing in front of the window. When she looked at his back, Sherry's nose twitched for no reason.
She used to long for every aspect of him, which now hurt her.
