Chris' face dimmed in anger. Then she said,"Fine! I won't care about anything about you anymore!"
But Chris' anger didn't last that long. After a while, she heaved a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she apologized,"I'm sorry for what I've said. Anyway, if you need my help just let me know. At least give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."
"Fine," Charles answered. He glimpsed at Sam and urged,"Take her home now. She is already too annoying for me."
Sheryl would go to his company for a rehearsal tomorrow and Charles was looking forward to working with her.
Charles got up early the next morning. He put on a dark suit and drove to the company as soon as he finished breakfast. He got very delighted and excited at the thought of seeing Sheryl very soon.
David was sorting some documents when Charles came to the office. And he couldn't believe his ears when he heard Charles humming a song. He wondered if he was just seeing and hearing things.
When he couldn't take it anymore, he came to Alice. "What's wrong with Mr. Lu? He looks very happy," David asked Alice in puzzlement.
"Are you an idiot?" Alice told David with contempt. "You must have forgotten one thing. Mrs. Lu will come to our company today."
Alice's answer solved David's confusion.
The ten models were sent to Charles' company by the service vehicle of BM Corporation. David was already waiting for them at the lobby. Nine of them entered in excitement while Sheryl was left behind, reluctant to enter.
David noticed her so he decided to personally meet her. He greeted her with a smile,"Hello, Miss Xia. Do you remember me?"
Sheryl turned around and looked at David. She remembered to have met this man at Charles' home. She nodded and said,"Yes, I remember you."
"I feel happy to hear that," David said, still smiling. Then he introduced himself,"You can call me David. I'm Mr. Lu's assistant. I'm so happy to work with you. If you have any concerns, you can just tell me and I'll handle them for you."
"Thank you but I don't need your help," Sheryl refused as she knew that David was Charles' assistant. Then she added,"Please tell Charles that I came here only for work. If he harasses me again, I would rather break the contract than continue working."
David was taken aback upon hearing Sheryl's words.
'Sheryl must be the only person in this world who would dare to say such words to Charles. Even I would never dare to think about it, ' he thought.
"Anyway, please tell me if you need any help during your working here," David said before he left. All the models were already settled in the venue where they would be working so David decided to return to his office.
David had just sat down when Charles called him to go to his office. As expected, Charles only asked questions about Sheryl. David tried to answer Charles' every question timidly. "Pay more attention to her and tell me if she has any trouble," Charles said to David before he dismissed him.
Charles became more efficient in his work today. Was it because of Sheryl's presence in his company? He seemed to be inspired. He finished all his work before noon. When lunch break came, he was thinking twice.
After a moment of consideration, he went to the rehearsal room.
Only Sheryl was left there.
Since all the models that Holley arranged to work for Charles disliked Sheryl, they all left for lunch together without inviting her.
Only Sue cast a glance at Sheryl and hesitated for a while, but she finally left without saying anything.
