Feeling wronged and uncomfortable, Sheryl carried a great pressure on her chest. She didn't know if she could endure everything until Charles woke up.
Wiping away her tears and trying to smile, Sheryl mumbled to herself, "Remember Sheryl, nobody will feel sorry for you when you are sad. The only thing you should do is not to think, do, or care about anything else. Focus on Charles. Wait until he wakes up."
Whether her mantra worked or not, nobody would ever know. But after telling herself those words, her sorrow was gone. Sheryl even looked joyful!
In Blue Cloud Technology
"Mr. Xu, please, sign this file." After knocking on Lewis' office door, the secretary walked in. Seeing that he was confused even after telling him to sign the needed file, she now placed the paper in front of him.
After a long while, Lewis raised his head and looked at the secretary. Expressionlessly, he asked, "Who told you to come in?"
"Mr. Xu, you told me to come in after I knocked." The secretary had never seen Lewis like this. And, for the first time, she was scared of the look on his face.
Lewis didn't say anything but continued to stare at her.
Even without directly looking at him, the secretary could feel her boss's cold stare at her. She felt her body tremble and chills run down her spine. "The file, Sir?"
His brain clicked when he heard her address him. He lowered his eyes and looked at the file in front of him. "You can go now."
"Yes, Mr. Xu." As soon as she placed the file in front of him, she fled from the office.
She had never felt so cold for no reason until that moment. Her instincts told her to run away, and so she did.
After the secretary had left, silence reigned again in the spacious office.
Lewis was not in the mood to check the file. Only thoughts of Sheryl filled his mind.
The gossip about him and Sheryl had spread like wildfire online.
Lewis knew he had brought so much trouble to Sheryl, but he had to admit that he liked the outcome. He had truly fallen in love with her. He didn't care if she was Charles' wife. Anyway, Charles planned to divorce her, so he had nothing to worry about. Thus, he decided to make his move to get her.
After contemplating for a little while, Lewis stood up, not wanting to waste more time, and headed to the hospital.
On his orders, someone always followed Sheryl. So, he knew that she was in the hospital at the moment.
"Mr.... Mr. Xu, are you going out?" the secretary called out. She was confused to see Lewis going out for she had just left his office a few minutes ago.
"What?! Do I need to report to you before I go out?" Lewis was unhappy and snapped at her.
Scared by her boss again, the secretary shook her head crazily. Explaining as best as she could, she answered politely, "No, Sir. I didn't mean anything. I just want to ask you what time you will be back. You have a teleconference in one hour."
"Cancel it." With that said, Lewis left.
Petrified, the only thing the secretary could do was to take her seat after Lewis's back disappeared from the office.
