Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 70

The corners of his mouth slightly lifted. The bed wasn't that big and it seemed too snug for two people to sleep comfortably. Still, that night, Jeremy had a good night's sleep.

Perhaps he was able to sleep well because of Sherry.

Meanwhile, Sherry was uncomfortable and visibly unhappy. When Jeremy woke up that morning, she had already gotten out of bed.

"Good morning," he said softly, smiling.

Sherry snorted. Just as he was about to take her hand and pull her back to bed, someone knocked at the door.

"It's probably the nurse," Sherry said matter-of-factly. Brushing her hair, she raised her voice and said, "Come in, please." When she spoke, her voice was gentle—completely different from the tone she had used on Jeremy earlier.

When the door opened, they were surprised to find that it wasn't a nurse—it was Jeremy's secretary, Barry.

Wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, Barry entered the room and immediately noticed Jeremy still in bed. When he glanced at Sherry, it seemed that she had just gotten up as well. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou, Good morning," Barry greeted them politely.

Sherry smiled and greeted him back. However, Jeremy didn't even look at him. A cold look on his face, he asked, "Who told you to come here?"

Since Jeremy had been in the hospital these past few days, he'd been working remotely through his computer and phone. Since Barry was efficient, he seldom bothered him.

So it was not surprising that Jeremy was unhappy with Barry visiting unannounced so early in the morning. Mornings were Jeremy's way of spending some time with Sherry alone.

"Mr. Ou, we need you to come back and make the final ruling. As of the cooperation with the American company, you need to go abroad to sign the contract," Barry said carefully.

As much as Barry didn't want to disturb them, there were so many things Jeremy needed to deal with personally.

Jeremy rubbed his messy head and said in an annoyed tone, "Just leave it to the senior executives."

With an embarrassed look on his face, Barry said, "This isn't just any small company, sir. I think it's best if you deal with it yourself."

Jeremy's company was chaotic now. Some shareholders had begun to protest and be suspicious since Jeremy hadn't shown up to work in a while. Meanwhile, Jeremy didn't care about any of this at all. While he was still the largest shareholder, it still wouldn't be surprising if someone out there was trying to take him down.

Employees were working overtime. His absence had caused such a disarray in the company that the number of people complaining were growing every day.

Standing by the side, Sherry listened to them in silence.

After a few moments, Jeremy said, "Okay, okay. I know. Just go back to the company first."

Barry still wanted to ask Jeremy when he was going to get discharged. However, when he saw that Jeremy was already looking towards the window where Sherry was, he decided against it. He had no idea what was going on in Sherry's mind.

Barry had no choice but to leave the ward.
