Chapter 27: Leaked news
His thoughts were written all over his face, clear as day.
Andrew tried to suppress his anger and asked back word by word, “If you only hated her, with your status, one word would have made her never turn over, but the fact that you have humiliated her and tortured her time and time again only proves that you can’t let her go.”
Aaron shuddered and clenched hard into a fist.
He, who would not be able to part with Sherry?
Ridiculous as hell!
Andrew stepped forward and bumped his shoulder into Aaron, his voice was cold and horrible, “Mr. Swift, business is business and women are women, but I want Sherry and you have no right to interfere.”
He knew all about Aaron’s ideas and plans, and dropping those projects today would be nothing more than a trivial matter.
It’s nothing compared to Sherry.
He gives in only because he doesn’t want Sherry to suffer any more, let alone feel guilty that he will get her out of the Night Group sooner or later and get her out of her past.
Andrew strides off with his assistant, and Aaron, furious, storms straight into the elegant room.
Boom.
The door slammed shut behind him and Sherry sat inside, taken aback, thinking it was that Li who had arrived.
But seeing the sullen anger on Aaron’s face scared her too.
“You’ve only just joined Night Group and you’ve hooked up with Andrew, what do you think my company is?”
He took a step towards Sherry, his voice sounding as if it were coming from hell.
Sherry subconsciously stepped back, her eyes full of defensiveness, “Mr. Swift, you …”
But before the words were out of his mouth, he took a step and had his hand around Sherry’s neck, then pushed the window open and Sherry’s body was pinned to the sill, half of her body pushed out over the edge of the window.
“Ah!”
She had to hold on to Aaron’s suit to keep from falling off.
The man warned unhappily, “Don’t be afraid, it’s only the third floor, if you fall, you’ll be disabled at most, you won’t die from the fall.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Sherry felt the cold wind whipping around her head and forced herself to calm down and look Aaron straight in the face.
“I’ve done everything you’ve told me to do and Mr. Swift isn’t satisfied?”
The bottom of Aaron’s eyes sank, “Not satisfied.”
His force became heavier, and Sherry’s look of indifference annoyed him, and he was about to raise his hand when the voice of his secretary came from the doorway.
“Mr. Swift, Chairman Yu asks you to come over, the content of the meeting has been maliciously leaked for speculation and now the news has spread.”
Night Group was the biggest winner of the night, but the news came out too soon and could have led to a lot of trouble.
Too much buzz inevitably leads to targeting by competitors.
Aaron promptly shook Sherry off, sliding down helplessly by her body falling against the wall behind her.
Sherry shuddered and wrapped her hands around herself.
Over there, it was Aaron who was about to go out when he paused in his steps and said dismissively, “Actually, you could have tried to seduce Andrew so that I could get more out of the partnership between the two companies.”
Sherry’s body stiffened, “What do you take me for?”
“A gift.”
Aaron gave her a disgusted look, “I’m tired of your body anyway, and Andrew is so smitten with you, it’s only natural to throw yourself at someone when you’re working with them.”
So even sending her to Andrew’s bed would be fine.
Sherry tilted her head up, no hesitation in her eyes.
“If you can, send me there, then I have Mr. Swift to thank for the good prospects you’ve given me.”
Hearing her provocative tone, Aaron raised his hand and slammed it on the table, “I just said that, and you can’t help but reveal your mind, you joined Night Group just to get close to Andrew?”
“Whatever you say.” Sherry was breathless, she really didn’t know if she had the courage to keep going.
All day long, I look at the face I once loved so much and humiliate myself in every way possible.
She glanced over her head and looked out the window to see if it was true that if she died, it would be all over.
In my ear, was Aaron’s low growl, “Sherry, I’ll give you to everyone but Andrew.”
She heard a bang and closed her eyes tight.
Aaron had said things like that before, asking her to accompany his friends at drinking parties, but then, all to no avail.
Sherry thought that it was mostly because he had a cleanliness problem, and if he still intended to touch her, he wouldn’t have given her away.
But if, for example, he had lost interest in her, that would have been unpredictable.
Aaron’s visit was five or six hours long.
As Sherry had planned, Night Group was the target of much criticism and abuse from many of its peers.
The PR department worked overnight to suppress some of the news a little.
In the room, Aaron was furious, “Who, exactly, leaked the information? Find out, and if you don’t, everyone will be blamed.”
The bottom of Eral’s eyes sank and several managers standing in the room bowed their heads.
Daisy coughed lightly, “One of the reporters let slip that the person behind the leak, according to the story, was named Yu.”
Aaron made a gesture and Eral instantly walked out of the room.
It’s something that can’t end without someone taking the fallout.
Sherry was sitting in the doorway of her room when she heard Islene’s cries from the corridor and her eyes wavered slightly as she went to bed to rest.
Tonight, it will be possible to sleep soundly.
She just didn’t expect to do something stupid before Islene was taken away by Eral.
Late in the night, someone swipes their room card and enters the room.
A slightly intoxicating scent muddles the air.
Sherry heard a noise and immediately opened her eyes, only to have a deep kiss seal her lips directly, “Gee …”
The words that followed her were gagged in her mouth.
There have been times in the past when Aaron has lost control, but he has never treated Sherry this way, with uncontrolled force.
When Sherry opened her eyes again, she just felt her body falling apart.
The man beside him had fallen into a deep sleep.
He also has a faint, very specific smell.
Sherry wrapped herself in the covers and sat up, why did Aaron have the room card for her room and, he wasn’t going to sleep next to her when he was finished.
Even if you stay up late and work overtime, you won’t be tired like this.
Sherry scanned the time on her phone screen, changed her clothes and walked out.
In the early morning, Aaron opened his eyes to the unfamiliar room and immediately got up with a frown.
His brow dropped slightly as he took in the woman sitting next to the coffee table.
“Nola, how do you …”
“Aaron, you’re awake?” Nola smiled as she came over with a bowl of hot porridge, “I arrived last night, but you stayed up late dealing with Night Group, so I didn’t let Eral bother you, you’re tired, I’ve prepared breakfast for you, have some.”
Her thoughtfulness was reflected in the man’s heart.
“Thanks.”
Nola spread her face slightly, “Between you and me, there’s no need to talk about it, I’ll take the snacks to warm them up again.”
She turned and walked out of the room.
But the man on the bed’s hand paused in mid-air; this porridge was usually served with onion leaves, but he didn’t like it, a little habit few people knew about.
He slowly closed his eyes as little fragments of fractured memories came flooding back to him.
Last night … was Sherry.
