Chapter 1413

Peter turned around to a delightful woman with a bright smile, who looked nothing like someone who had cried her lungs out

because of her daughter.

Confused, he asked, “Why do you want my contact number?”

“Nothing. I’ve just admired you for a long time now.”

“Do you think I’ll believe that?”

“So, yes or no?” Sherry asked.

“Can I say no?” Peter asked meekly.

Sherry switched her expression and covered her face with her hands again.

Peter frowned. With a bitter look, he said, “Fine, fine. I’ll give you my contact number.”

The silver MPV cruised along the road for a while now.

The silence was broken by a sudden phone call.

The man glanced at the sleeping little girl in his arms. He grabbed his phone using his idle hand and answered the

call cautiously, “What is it?”

Peter said in a small voice, “Sir, I ran into Ms. Fowler while I was going home.”

John’s expression changed. “Sherry?”

“Yes, sir.”

“What’s the matter?”

“She said she wanted to know how Ms. Caprice is doing lately. She cried and begged me to tell her more.”

John narrowed his eyes. “She cried in front of you?”

“I believe it’s an act, but her sobs grew louder and I didn’t know how to stop her. I simply said you’ve been taking

good care of Ms. Caprice, but she didn’t take my word for it. Her crying got even louder.”

John scoffed. “I think that’s not her real intention.”

“Yes, sir. She asked for my contact number.”

John curled his lips. A hint of frostiness flashed in his eyes as he said gruffly, “Why did she ask for your contact

number?”

“I…I don’t know.”

“Hmm? How did she ask for it?”

“I don’t know why she asked for it.”

John chuckled. He switched to a softer tone and continued, “I didn’t ask why, I asked how.”

Peter’s voice grew softer on the phone as he said, “She said… she’s admired me for a long time now…”

“Hmph…”

“Sir, you know her. It must be some excuse she came up with just to get my number.”

“I know.”

“But you sound so… cold, sir.”

“You must be hearing things.” A moment of silence later, John continued with a smile, “If I’m correct, she probably

wants to know my schedule through you so that she can follow me and Caprice. Keep an eye out for her. If she

contacts you, inform me immediately. I’ll tell you how to reply.”

Peter sighed a breath of relief at his boss’s answer. “Yes, sir. I understand.”

John curled his lips. “Oh, and the project at New Life Square is starting tomorrow, am I right?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I’m slightly worried about the workers there, so I want you to take my place and go inspect the site.”

Peter was silenced.

“It’s only going to be a short trip, around a week or so.”

John then hung up the phone.

Peter stared at his darkened screen helplessly and annoyedly.

The project in New Life Square was a new initiative started by John himself. It was located in the suburbs of Glenchester, which was

rather far from the city center. Aside from the inconvenience to reach all kinds of

infrastructure and public transport, the environment there was rather poor.

Even the lower–ranking employees refused to inspect the site due to its poor condition, let alone him.

John must have sent him there to inspect the site because he was unhappy with Sherry asking for his contact number and claiming

that she had ‘admired‘ him for a long time.

Peter sighed heavily. He was just an employee of the company sandwiched between the couple’s arguments. He wanted to be

excused from any future arguments if possible.
