Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1064

"Not too tiring, is it?"

Judging by the way Mr. Gilbert was beaming, it didn’t seem tiring at all.

On stage.

Sherilyn waited for her heartbeat to settle before sneaking a glance at the spot where he had been...

But the man’s silhouette was gone...

Had he left?

She gathered her thoughts and resumed her activities.

After the event, the fans' enthusiasm was overwhelming.

With bodyguards flanking her, Sherilyn finally managed to slip away and retreat to the green room.

"Ms. Gomez," Candida whispered at her side, "Mr. Nine has already headed back to Sunhaven."

What?

Sherilyn was a bit taken aback. She had guessed he might have left, but she hadn’t expected him to head straight back to Sunhaven. What was the point of his visit here, then?

"Well, you see..." Candida quickly explained, "Mr. Nine had a dinner meeting with the city officials tonight, and it was unavoidable."

Of course.

Sherilyn understood that perfectly.

But still, what was the point of him coming to Ironforge?

Her phone buzzed with a message from Gilbert.

[Hey babe, I left. Saw you today, can finally sleep well tonight.]

"!"

Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat. So, he had come all this way just to see her?

Her heart raced again, accompanied by a strange feeling.

It was like someone had tossed a pebble into the still lake of her heart, creating ripples that spread outward, leaving her a bit dazed, a bit dizzy...

The evening's event concluded, and the next day, she had one last photo shoot for a billboard.

By afternoon, her itinerary was wrapped up.

Back at the hotel, she packed up, ready to head back to Sunhaven.

"Candida."

Candida approached the reception desk, "Ms. Gomez is here. She’ll head straight to the executive office. No need to inform Mr. Harrison."

"But..."

The receptionist certainly wasn’t about to stop her. "Mr. Harrison... he's out."

"Out? Where to?"

"Yes," the receptionist nodded, "He left about an hour ago, but we don't know where."

The whereabouts of the CEO weren't typically disclosed in detail at the front desk.

Candida relayed the news to Sherilyn, "Ms. Gomez, Mr. Nine isn’t in the office right now."

What a coincidence.

Sherilyn rubbed her temples. She had planned to surprise him, but it seemed the surprise was on her.

"Never mind, let's head out."

At the same time in Ironforge.

Gilbert arrived at the hotel just in time.

His bodyguard returned from the front desk with an update, "Mr. Nine, Ms. Gomez has already checked out..."
