Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 42

The party, which had been bustling just seconds ago, suddenly turned silent the moment Chester and Sherry showed up.

They made their way through the crowd with everyone's attention focused on them.

All of a sudden, people began to whisper, admiring the woman who was accompanying Chester.

She was wearing a simple white dress. Without even saying a word, she managed to easily draw everyone's attention toward her.

On the other side of the table, Jeremy was holding a glass of red wine. As he took a sip of it, his eyes lightly swept over Sherry.

For so long, he had known how beautiful she really was, but she had been hiding it the entire time. For that reason, he almost forgot that she was once the most brilliant among all of these women around him.

As he looked at them, Jeremy thought that Sherry should have been in his arms, not Chester's.

Moreover, what was she wearing? Her back was almost exposed. Was she aware that all of the men here were ogling her right now?

"It's that woman again!" Jessie exclaimed, gritting her teeth.

As she said those words, Jessie looked at Sherry in disgust and thought to herself, 'What the heck? Sherry has altered that red dress. I thought she would be making a fool of herself. Damn it!"

Just as Jeremy was about to walk up to Sherry, someone beside him called him, "Jeremy."

When he turned to check who it was, Jeremy saw that it was a business partner, someone older than him and a good friend of his father. Given that he couldn't just ignore him, all he could do was look at Sherry from a distance and he decided not to approach her.

Since earlier that morning, Steve had been waiting for Sherry and just passing time. Just when he thought that Sherry would break her promise and not show up, she suddenly appeared.

While Chester was busy greeting other people, Sherry was left standing under the light. Taking this opportunity, Steve went over and called out to her, "Miss Xu."

As soon as she heard his voice, Sherry instantly knew who it without having to look. So, she helplessly put on a smile and turned her head to look at Steve who was walking toward her. "Mr. Song, happy birthday to you,"

Sherry greeted him, wearing a vibrant smile on her face. Although she felt rather uneasy when she was around him, she didn't really dislike him. At the very least, she felt like it was much easier to face him than to face her husband, Jeremy.

"Thank you. I haven't seen you in so long, so I was starting to think you wouldn't come. To be honest, I wasn't expecting you to show up again. I'm so glad that you made it," Steve said with a smile.

Looking her up and down, he couldn't help but praise her sincerely, "You look so stunning and so different right now. So much so that I almost didn't recognize you."

To which, Sherry replied, "Thank you." In fact, she was used to receiving compliments like this before.

"Those women have become run-of-the-mill the second you came in. Miss Xu, I swear that I'm only telling the truth." Taking a step forward, Steve moved a little closer toward her.

Seeing this, Sherry calmly took a step back and answered lightly, "Is that so? Thank you for your praise."

Although her reply was a little perfunctory, Steve didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. When he was about to say something, a crowd of people flocked toward him, holding a glass of wine in their hands. "Happy birthday," they said in unison.

Steve expressed his gratitude to them one by one, intending to continue his conversation with Sherry. Unfortunately for him, Sherry quietly retreated to one side, trying not to get noticed by the other people.

The more people gathered around him, the more difficult it was for him to leave them. He could see that Sherry was getting farther and farther away from him. He couldn't possibly leave these guests behind to chase her. Because of this, he decided to just look for her later.

Suddenly, someone grabbed a hold of Sherry's arm. When she looked up, she found that it was Chester who was standing next to her, and she held his arm on naturally.

"I'm going to introduce you to some of the top planners in the advertising industry. You can learn a lot from them." After that, he led her into the crowd.

Feeling quite grateful to him, Sherry said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"You're welcome. My company is expecting more satisfying plans from you. So, you need to study hard."

In her opinion, she had been extremely lucky to meet such a good boss.

Chester was acquainted with a lot of influential people, and he took his time introducing them to her one by one. However, she could hardly remember all of those people. After a few greetings, those people began to show deep smile. "Is Miss Xu the general manager of the advertising department of SZ Advertising Company's head office? How young and promising!"

Hearing this, Sherry gave a modest smile. "It's an honor to serve the company."

"Mr. Gu seldom brings any female partner to a party. I thought he would come alone today as well. Miss Xu is the first one he has ever brought along," an older woman said with a smile.

"Mr. Gu and Miss Xu are the most eye-catching couple at the party. Are you two seeing each other?" another man couldn't help asking.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Sherry shot Chester a glance and found that he looked the same as usual and wasn't fazed by it whatsoever. When she shifted her gaze somewhere else, her eyes fell to the man standing in the crowd. It was Jeremy.

Out of everyone, he was the most brilliant man here. No matter where he went, he was always like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. However, he was together with Jessie now, who was doing everything she could to destroy their marriage.

After casting him a quick glance, Sherry immediately looked away.

As Chester was making his way, he noticed Jeremy standing in the crowd.

On the other side, the expression on Jeremy's face was cold and his eyes were fixated on Sherry. However, Jessie's soft hand was gently resting on his arm.
