Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 66

"No matter what happened, you must tell me the truth about who hurt you. You can trust me," said Linda. She placed a hand on Sherry's shoulder, meeting her eyes with a look of sincerity.

Sherry felt a warmth enveloping her heart. It was pleasant to realize that no matter what troubles she went through, there was always someone on her side ready to support her no matter what.

Linda couldn't help her solve her problems, but it was enough for her to be there as her best friend while she was sad.

"Thank you, Linda," Sherry said in a low voice.

Linda leaned forward and put an arm around Sherry's neck. "Don't thank me, Sherry. You're my best friend. I'll stand by your side no matter what."

Sherry nodded and gave her a slight grin. "By the way, since you've been assigned to work with me, you have to take your work very seriously. I'm a really strict manager, you know."

Linda rolled her eyes. "You don't have to remind me what a workaholic you are. Hey, I just read the contracts, and I saw that you have two cases at the same time—one is the Ou Group, and the other is the Song Group. Did Jeremy arrange that on purpose?"

Sherry's smile turned brittle. "You already know the answer. Jeremy always has an ulterior motive for doing things."

Linda was outraged on her best friend's behalf. "Jeremy is way out of line! If he sabotages you at work, you must expose him. Don't sacrifice your career to protect him!" she exclaimed, giving Sherry a ferocious look.

"It's all right," Sherry said with a sigh. "I know how to deal with him."

She now had a very heavy workload.

Sherry had already asked for a few days off. With the deadline approaching, she had barely made any headway with her work. Fortunately, Steve had said she could postpone her deadlines for the Song Group for a few days.

From the moment Sherry joined the company, she had been determined to devote herself to her work. Linda saw how conscientious she was, and admired her very much.

The downtrodden, mousy wife of Jeremy Ou had finally broken free of her small world, and was returning to her roots. Sherry was back, as strong-minded and professional as ever!

Of course, the transition wasn't easy. Sherry was a little clumsy at first, fumbling to figure out the correct way to do things. But with effort and intelligence, she had developed her skills. With each passing day she was becoming better and better at her job.

"Ouch! Help me rub my shoulder. It's so painful," said an employee in the tea room to the woman beside her.

Sherry was about to enter the tea room, carrying a cup in her hand. She opened her mouth to greet them when she heard the woman complain, "The new manager is such a workaholic! She doesn't even give us any time to have a break."

"I know! This morning, I had just gone to the bathroom, and as soon as I walked out she approached me and asked me to do so many things."

"Honestly my body is getting sore with all this nonstop work. My neck and waist are getting strained! If the new manager doesn't relax, she'll work us all into the ground. I feel like even my eyesight is deteriorating, I swear," the woman groaned.

"Well, to be fair, she was specially brought in to be the manager by Mr. Gu himself. She must be working so hard to prove her ability to him."

"She can work as hard as she wants, but does she have to make us suffer with her? Honestly, this load is killing me! I've been working overtime for several nights in a row. Last night I had an argument with my boyfriend because I kept him waiting for an hour."

Sherry stood and listened for a while. When there was a lull in the conversation, she took a deep breath and entered the tea room.
