Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 68

Steve drank his tea leisurely. Sherry looked out of the window while they both sat awkwardly in silence.

'If you're really heart set on doing this, I'll definitely tell Linda why you actually want to ask her out for dinner," Sherry said after what felt like an age, breaking the silence.

In Sherry's mind, she thought that it'd be in Linda's best interests if she knew what Steve really wanted. Sherry was worried though that Linda would be disheartened if she knew the truth.

Steve nodded and said, "Okay. Tell her the truth, then I will genuinely pursue her."

"Steve!" Sherry was so infuriated that she couldn't help but shout.

"Even if you do tell her that I'm just using her and I only see her because of you, she'd never believe you. Even worse is that your friendship will probably be over,"

said Steve with an arrogant smile.

Sherry had never been so annoyed by Steve.

However, in Steve's mind, he thought Sherry was being unreasonably stubborn.

"Only an idiot would believe you," Steve further added.

Sherry was fuming. She got annoyed at Steve in the past but she never really hated him. As long she didn't want to do something, Steve couldn't force her.

But now, Sherry was really beginning to despise him. She knew he wasn't kidding.

He was saying whatever he could to get what he wanted!

"What the hell do you want from me to let her off?" questioned Sherry coldly.

Steve leaned forward and looked into Sherry's fiery eyes. "It's easy. When I call you later, don't make any excuses not to come."

"I'm too busy to go out with you," Sherry refuted immediately.

If She went out with Steve every day, she wouldn't get a second to work.

"Don't reject me when you're free. Or else, I'll just go find Linda then."

Sherry kept silent for a few seconds, sighed and helplessly nodded.

The war in the business world was complicated, but the emotional world was much more intense.

Sherry was way too conflicted now. She'd become something of a hot property with all the male interest that she had been getting. It was best if she just hid her emotion to avoid getting hurt.

The more she repressed all emotion, the more attention she seemed to get.

Sherry was completely clueless as to when Steve started liking her.

She'd been hurt too many times so she wasn't going to let Linda, her good friend, get wounded for love.

Steve was inexplicably psychotic. Sherry could only imagine how many unsuspecting women fell into his traps.

'I can't let anyone hurt Linda!'

Sherry told herself in her heart as she gradually clenched her fists.

The office door was opened with Linda striding in.

Raising her head, Sherry saw Linda having fixed her make-up. The elegant and radiant beauty of Linda made Sherry feel upset.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," said Linda apologetically, sitting down.

"Don't worry about it. It's my duty to wait for a beautiful woman like you," said Steve, not bothered.

Sherry scowled at Steve coldly.

Sensing her gaze, Steve looked away. He seemed to have forgotten his promise from a moment ago.

As Steve cut his steak, his hand shook. A piece of steak escaped him and fell on Linda's clothes.

Linda wore a new, black lace skirt to the office. This was the first time she wore it as it was a special occasion but it was stained now thanks to Steve.

"I'm so sorry for staining your dress." Steve passed her a tissue in an attempt to help clean up the mess.

Linda frowned. The dress was expensive and it was her first time wearing it. Anyone would be distraught, but she still said calmly to Steve, "It doesn't matter."

Seeing this as an opportunity, Sherry said to Linda, "Since the dress is dirty, let's go home quickly to change!"

Sherry couldn't bear to stay there for even a second more.

Linda pouted. Although she wanted spend time with Steve, she really didn't want to sit in this greasy dress.

"I messed up your dress so let me make it up to you. After dinner, I'll take you to the mall," Steve said apologetically.

Linda was elated hearing his words but used all her power to pretend she was fine and said, "I don't think that's a good idea."

Steve shrugged and said, "I don't think so. It's my fault. I'll get you a new one."

Sherry's could feel her head start to ache. However Linda agreed, "Then I should thank you, Mr. Song."

They didn't eat much and went straight to the mall afterwards.

In the clothing shop, Sherry sat on the sofa and watched Linda choose the clothes one by one, while Steve stood beside her to help her choose.

Didn't he say that he wouldn't trouble Linda anymore? Was he going to keep his promise?

Linda suddenly turned back and waved Sherry over. She walked over inexplicably and watched as Linda handed her a dress. "This dress suits you. Go try it on."

Sherry was stunned. "Me?"

"Yeah, hurry up!" Linda ushered her into the fitting room.

Sherry didn't know what they were playing at, but she listened to Linda and went in the fitting room.
