Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 199

The elevator reached the top floor, and the receptionist left Sherilyn at the entrance to the CEO's office before leaving. Sherilyn made her way into Gilbert's office.

As she entered, Gilbert was still engrossed in his work.

"Ah, there you are." Gilbert glanced up. "Give me a moment to wrap this up, and I'll be right with you. Have a seat for now."

"Sure." Sherilyn sat on the sofa, and her gaze fell upon a brown paper package on the coffee table.

It looked familiar. Then it clicked. It was just like the one Caroline was holding earlier. Could it also contain...

"Can you smell it?" Having finished his work, Gilbert approached and gestured toward the brown paper package. "Go on. Open it."

Sherilyn frowned but remained seated.

Anticipating her reaction, Gilbert teased, "What, scared I'm trying to poison you? Relax. It's something you like."

A sweet and tangy aroma filled the air as the package opened. It was candy apples.

Sherilyn's eyes lit up. Indeed, it was just like the one Caroline had.

"Don't just look," Gilbert lifted the package closer to Sherilyn. "Try some? I remember you used to love these."

Had she eaten candy apples before him before?

"Ah..." Gilbert paused, "Back then, you were crazy about apple pies. It is somewhat similar, so I thought you'd like it. Got it, especially for you."

Especially for her? It must be so. Sherilyn silently thought, but it was likely Gilbert especially got them for Caroline. Had she not run into Caroline holding a similar package earlier, Sherilyn might have believed him. After all, he wasn't into these kinds of sweet treats.

He was considerate toward Caroline, even remembering to pick up these little treats for her.
