Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 

He strode avec bent down, and picked up the ointment, giving it a once–over. 

Unopened? She didn’t even use it! 

“Huh,” Gilbert scoffed, “She’s hooked on playing the victim to get sympathy, huh? If she wouldn’t use it, so be it. Did she think I would care?” 

Each time he recalled what Sherilyn did to Caroline three years ago, 

He tossed the ointment into the trash can with a flick. 

Gilbert knew he’d done more than enough for Sherilyn! 

Having left Golden Oak Manor, Sherilyn checked her phone and opened WhatsApp to chat with a rental agent after spending another day house hunting. 

As evening approached, she finally found something decent. The apartment was in the old town, a small, run–down one–bedroom with a kitchen and bathroom. It was not much, but it had a small kitchen and a bathroom. 

Money was tight, so she had no choice but to go for such a place. 

The rental agent asked, “What do you think? Will it do?” 

Sherilyn nodded. “It will do, thanks.” 

The rental agent smiled. “Good, let’s sign the contract. Once we sign it, I’ll confirm with the landlord, and you should be able to move in within a few days.” 

“Really? That’s great, thanks.” With the housing situation sorted, a weight lifted off Sherilyn’s shoulders. 

That night, she finally got a good night’s sleep. Meanwhile, Gilbert, as usual, didn’t come home 

It was Friday that day. 

After catching up on sleep during the day and refreshing herself, Sherilyn was gearing up for her first night on stage. She couldn’t afford any slip–ups. 

It was her first day on the job, and she couldn’t be late. 

Leaving early, she arrived at Neon Nights Bar twenty minutes ahead of her call time. 

Colin greeted her warmly, “Sherilyn, get ready to rock the stage tonight!” 

He gestured toward the outfit prepared for her, “Everything’s set for you, just waiting for you to dazzle everyone!” 

With a soft smile, Sherilyn nodded. “I’ll do my best, Colin.” 

“Good luck. Now go get dressed and made up!” 

“Will do, Colin.” According to the rehearsal plan, Sherilyn’s act for the night was a jazz dance while wearing a mask 

Colin’s idea was, “A beauty partially hidden is more alluring. The more you conceal, the more they want to see. And the more they want, the less we show. That way, you’ll make a name for yourself.” 

That was how to keep the customers coming back and spending money.
