Around the office, they'd called him "errand boy" and "lapdog" behind his back.
But officially? He was a special assistant to the company, not Lucas' personal assistant.
Everyone in the industry knew Max and Juan were closest to Lucas.
Inside headquarters, you'd never guess. They looked like regular employees. Maybe even bottom-tier.
But outside? Their reputation preceded them. Clearly not just rumors.
The group tried laughing it off, thinking they could gloss this over.
They didn't expect Max's face to be totally different from usual. He even carried himself like someone who could hold his own in a fight—with the air of a director or a CEO, no less.
The group trembled, shocked by what they were seeing.
Lucas once said outsiders thought the three of them looked unserious. Like jokes. Useless.
But those comments came from other companies, not theirs.
Because Sherry only dealt with the Harrison Group's core headquarters. Business partners, other branches—she'd never visited.
So to these people, she was someone HQ had kicked out.
And that headquarters was a lifelong goal for them to reach. Sherry, a woman her own husband disliked—if not for Gilbert's disdain, they wouldn't attack her.
After all, the Bodes weren't weak.
In other words, the biggest reason Sherry got judged was Gilbert.
If you said her husband despised her looks, they'd blow up.
But calling her stupid? A useless housewife? Taking a spot everyone envied? Unacceptable!
Branches were chaotic. Too many moving parts to manage everything. Entertainment especially—so many roles, so many collaborators, like makeup artists, stylists, endless partnerships.
Plus the company was huge, with lots of ad shooting locations.
This time, they were here to see how the new hires were doing with the ad shoot.
Recently, Seaseat City had a few new companies pop up, clearly launched to go against them, including the one Sherry visited last time.
She saw Edward there.
