Daniel gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Sherry turned around and closed her eyes. She said, “I
felt so sleepy. Good night.”
It’s still raining outside and it seems that there was no intention of stopping.
Before long, Sherry’s breathing gradually became steady. Seemed like she was indeed asleep.
Daniel looked at her back, his lips pursed, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
In the darkness, Sherry slowly opened her eyes, surprised by his action, lost in her thought while looking at the rain
outside.
…
When Sherry woke up the next day, Daniel was no longer in the room.
Even before she opened her eyes, she already felt the aftermath of hangover. She retched a few times, but she
didn’t vomit, feeling so dizzy.
Sherry moved her stiff and sore limbs, slowly put on some clothes, and went into the bathroom to wash up. She
dragged her exhausted and weakened body downstairs after patting her face.
That’s when Daniel came in.
Sherry saw him and tried to say hello, “Morning.”
Daniel paused. “I'll get you an ice coke.”
Sherry sat at the table and said, “Thank you.”
Soon, Daniel came back with a can of coke and breakfast; he placed them in front of her.
He said, “The car is still in repair. Let’s drive another one.”
Sherry nodded while sipping the coke, “Okay.”
Daniel sat in front of her, opened his mouth several times, hesitant to speak, but didn’t say anything at last.
Sherry looked up in his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Daniel said, “Don’t you...have anything to say to me?”
Sherry rubbed her waist and complained in a whisper, “The bed here is too soft, and I have a sore back. Hey, do
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou know any good masseuses? When we're back in town, I need to get a massage.”
Daniel was confused.
Sherry picked up the sandwich in front and said, “By the way, did I say some bullshit last night? I was so drunk.
Please don’t take it to heart. If I had said anything that offended you, I apologize to you now. I am sorry.”
Daniel was speechless.
He was a bit pissed, but also amused by her words. He picked up the milk in front of him and gulped it down.
Sherry just took a bite of a sandwich and was choked upon seeing this. She said in a hurry, “That’s my milk...”
Daniel lowered his eyes and threw a glance at her, then put down the cup on the table with a clank and turned
away.
Sherry finally swallowed the food in her mouth, and after hesitating for a while, she picked up the cup.
Forget it, it’s not poisoned anyway, better than being choked to death.
When she finished her breakfast and went out, Daniel was standing next to a red car, talking to the owner of the
hotel.
Sherry walked over and coughed, “I am done. Shall we leave?”
Daniel looked back at her and said, “Give me a minute. I forgot something.”
Something hit her mind at once and she yelled, “Ah, my camera bag...”
“I’ll bring it down for you.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After Daniel entered the hotel, the owner smiled and said to Sherry, “Your boyfriend is very considerate.”
Sherry was stunned when she heard the words. Waving her hands rapidly, she stuttered, “No… He is not my… my
boyfriend. We are just friends.”
The owner kept smiling without saying more and turned around throwing the toy for his dog to fetch.
Sherry stood there and heaved a sigh.
Now the rain has stopped and the air was fresh.
The sun also rose slowly, forming a halo in the mid-air.
Sherry tilted her head and took a picture with her mobile phone.
Five minutes later, Daniel turned back, gave her the camera bag, and then opened the door of the driver’s seat.
Sherry put away the phone and followed in.
On the way back, Sherry was leaning against the window, closing her eyes and enjoying the warm morning sun and
the refreshing wind.
Daniel glanced at her sideways and asked, “Are you still planning to go to the Thames today?”
Sherry answered, “No, not anymore.”
Daniel asked, “Why?”
“I was planning to go there to take pictures of dusk, but I think the sunset I saw yesterday was very beautiful as
well. There are so many different sceneries in this world, and each has its own characteristics. There is no need to
get so attached to one place.”
Daniel held the steering wheel and didn’t speak, wondering if her words were implying something.
When they drove into the downtown, Sherry closed the window and said, “I booked a ticket back to City N tonight.
Thank you for your care these two days. When you come to City N next time, I will take you out to have fun.”
He's not going back anyway.
A bit courtesy wouldn't hurt.
Daniel turned to gaze at her, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to find out what she was actually thinking.
Sherry looked away and said, “Hey, I almost forgot. I’ve got to go back to your company. I have to say good bye to
Mr. William. Sorry to trouble you again. Please drive me to the company.”
Daniel looked forward and said ok.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Complex.
Hardly had Daniel entered the company when he was called away by his assistant.
“Wait for me in William’s office.” he said to Sherry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry smiled and nodded, “Go.”
It seemed that Daniel still wanted to say something, but the assistant was urging him so he couldn’t say anything at
last.
This was the second time Sherry has come to Complex. Compared with the nervousness last time, she was much
more relaxed now.
When she reached the floor where William’s office was located, she found the direction of his office according to
her memory, but just when she arrived at the door, she saw William’s assistant come out with a tray.
On the tray were some blood-stained gauzes and some medicine.
Seeing this, Sherry was startled, “What’s this?”
The assistant answered, “William’s old wound was torn apart. We have just dealt with it.”
Sherry asked in a hurry, “Is it serious?”
“No, it’s not. He is just too busy at work and has not taken a good rest to recover from his injuries.”
At this time, the assistant’s phone rang, he placed the tray on the table next to her, and walked away to answer the
phone.
Sherry was stunned at that moment, this situation...
Holy mother! The sheer luck she had!
She turned her head and looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby. Then she secretly took out a
plastic bag from her bag pack, picked up a piece of gauze and quickly put it into the bag. Her hands were slightly
trembling during the whole process for fear of being discovered.
After all this, she finally took relief, knocked on the door of William’s office, and walked in.
Not far away, the assistant turned around. He was sweaty.
He talked to the phone, “Mr. Conrad, I have done just as you asked, but could you tell me the reason?”
Clarence answered indifferently, “You will know after a while.”
The assistant froze, if it hadn’t been for the time when William was seriously injured and unconscious, he had
worked with Clarence for a while and developed trust towards him, it would definitely be impossible for him to do
such a thing behind William’s back...
