Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 246

"Mr. Johnson, you can count on me. Once I say yes, I'm all in. No hard feelings, no making life difficult for Sherilyn."

That just wasn't her style.

"You believe me?" Daphne asked.

"Absolutely!" Gilbert didn't hesitate for a second. Whether he truly believed her or not didn't matter; for Sherilyn's sake, he was going to show confidence.

"Ms. Hansen's integrity? How could I doubt that? If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have entrusted Sherilyn to your care."

After a moment, he added, "Oh, and there's one more thing I need to ask of Ms. Hansen."

Daphne was surprised by his request. This man... going to such lengths for Sherilyn and choosing to keep it a secret?

"I should be the one thanking you. Please take good care of Sherilyn."

Mr. Marshall was waiting on her decision to sign on for her next film, which would be her big break.

But Sherilyn couldn't quite make up her mind. Entering the entertainment business wasn't her original intention.

Was this the right path for her? Could she excel?

Then, Daphne's call came through.

"Ms. Hansen?" Sherilyn was both excited and puzzled. Ms. Hansen was calling her?
