Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 392

"Can't do it, huh?" Sherilyn wasn't finished yet. With a sly smile, she continued, "If you can't manage that, there's another way."

"What?" Gilbert's eyes snapped up, a flicker of hope?

Sherilyn let out a soft, barely noticeable scoff. "This one's even simpler."

She lifted her hand, hooking Gilbert's tie and winding it around her finger, looping it over and over.

"Just promise me, from now on, you won't see her in secret. Anything to do with her, you're not to interfere! Can you do that?"

Compared to the earlier 'apology,' this was equally impossible.

"Sherilyn." Gilbert tried to explain, "Caroline and I have grown up together. She means a lot to me..."

"Can't do it, can you?"

Sherilyn wasn't buying his excuses, waving him off, "If you can't, you can't. Why bother saying more?"

Of course, she knew he couldn't do it.What she wanted was for him to fail!

"See?" Sherilyn sighed in feigned disappointment. "It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, you just don't have any sincerity. Well, it looks like it's over for us."

Her hand withdrew, releasing his tie. "Honestly, you're not irreplaceable. You just need a shield; any woman would do. With Mr. Gilbert's credentials, just a wave of your hand, and you'd have your pick of women, no? So, I wish Mr. Gilbert the best in finding a new girlfriend soon. Bye-bye."

With a wave of her hand and a smile that quickly faded to an emotionless face, she turned and walked away.

Gilbert watched her leave, his gaze darkening.

The next day.

Sherilyn didn't go to the dance studio; she had a photoshoot for a promotional poster about the dance group, with an external team hired for the job.

By the time she arrived, Rebecca and the makeup artist were already there.

"Rebecca, am I late?"

"Not at all." Rebecca made a face, gesturing inside. "Not sure if we can even shoot today. Let's wait and see."

"What's the issue?"

"Look." Rebecca whispered.
