Chapter 795 Schemes

Trick? Shirley naturally realized it was a sham, but what she didn’t expect was that Garrick would admit

it so frankly and even apologize for it. But why?

Seeing Shirley say nothing, Garrick continued, “This is a family matter, so it’s never disclosed to

outsiders. I won’t be telling you about this either if it isn’t that I owe you an explanation. Hmm…” He

began sounding hesitant. “How about this? We’ll meet when you’re available so I can explain it to you

in person.”

Never had Shirley expected the CEO of Cyberten to humble himself before her, and it would be on her

now if she continued to snub him. After all, Garrick made it clear that he wanted to apologize to her in

person, so he might have had a good reason for his actions.

“I’ll meet you in an hour where we had coffee last time.”

Since she had said that she was occupied, it’d be evident she was lying if she agreed to meet him right

away. Thus, she could only push the rendezvous an hour later.

“Alright, I’ll see you there.” Garrick hung up at that.

Then, while Shirley was spacing out as she sat on her chair, her phone, which she left on the desk,

buzzed.

She picked it up in response and found a missed call from Skyer—the call had ended after ringing for a

couple of seconds.

What is he trying to do?

Then, all that had happened the night before came to her, and she blushed involuntarily. At that, she

chucked her phone aside without replying.

An hour later, she turned up for the rendezvous and found Garrick sitting by the window once she

entered the cafe.

With that, she approached the table. “Sorry to keep you waiting, President Brennan.”

Her sudden appearance startled Garrick, who had been engrossed in his phone. Immediately, he

placed his phone, screen down, on the table.

“You’re here! Care for a drink?” he asked.

At that, Shirley beckoned to a server, who approached her. “How can I help you, miss?”

“A Blue Mountain, please. Thanks.”

“Alright, I’ll be right back with your order.” With that, the server left.

“Let’s cut to the chase, President,” said Shirley as she sat upright in her seat. Her innocent smile was

long gone, replaced by indifference.

Garrick, on the other hand, smiled when he picked up her change in attitude toward him. At that, he

pulled something out of his briefcase, put it on the table, and pushed it toward Shirley. “Do you

remember seeing this young woman?”

It was a picture of a stunning, fair maiden in a white blouse, whom Shirley made out with one glance.

“She was at the birthday party yesterday.”

She remembered the young woman well, for the latter would wander around Garrick every now and

then, not to mention when the young woman’s gaze at her was one of aversion and jealousy.

“Her name’s Nancy, the blind date my aunt set me up with. I think she’s trying to win me over because

she likes me. Of course, I’ve rejected her outright, but she isn’t the type to give up easily.”

Meanwhile, Shirley said nothing but let Garrick tell his story.

“When you came to my office, I had planned on only returning to the manor after visiting your company,

but my father made me head home right away. Then, I saw her car parked at the entrance after arriving

home. That’s why I asked you to go in with me. I had wanted to explain to my relatives when they

mistook you for my girlfriend. But then I thought about using this chance to make Nancy give up her

pursuit, so I said nothing.”

At that, he dipped his head in apology. “I’m sorry, Miss Wilson. I know it was very ungentlemanly of

me.”
