Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 31 Gossips

"If you continue to disregard my feelings, I'm going through with the divorce. Even if you refuse, you have no choice." Raising her head, Sherry looked at Jeremy coldly.

"Are you sure about that? You can try but I have a lot of means to stop this divorce." He raised his eyebrows like he normally did.

Sherry pursed her lips as Jeremy eyed her callously. She then turned around, picked up the clothes on the floor, and ran to the bathroom. The next thing Jeremy heard was a loud bang. Sherry had slammed the door behind her.

For some reason, watching Sherry leave softened Jeremy's heart.

Still, that wasn't enough for him to back down in the face of divorce.

Sherry took a deep breath as she leaned her weight against the sink. More than anyone, she knew what kind of person Jeremy was and he never went back on his word.

Nothing scared him. If he didn't want the divorce, nothing in the world could make him change his mind. It was extremely cruel of him to hold her to their marriage just so she could be at his disposal. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Sherry splashed some water on her face in an attempt to wash away her exhaustion.

She knew she needed to change in order to start anew.

After washing her face, she came out of the bathroom. There was no one in the lounge. The blanket was still haphazardly thrown on the sofa.

She folded the blanket, put it aside, and walked to the office connected with the lounge.

Chester was sitting in front of the desk, reading through some documents as he drank a cup of coffee.

Hearing the footsteps, Chester raised his head. The suit he wore made him look elegant. When he smiled, it was fresh as a spring breeze.

"Have you cleaned up?" he asked.

Sherry walked up to his desk and nodded. She looked a little embarrassed as she spoke, "Thanks for taking care of me last night. I'm sorry to barge in like that this morning."

"Really? You're done?" He looked at his watch and said, "It took you quite a while to clean up."

Hearing this, Sherry's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile as she couldn't tell him that Jeremy had held her up which was why it took so long for her to clean up.

"Breakfast is on the desk. I've asked the staff to prepare it for you." Chester then went back to reading the documents that he was reading before Sherry came in.

Sherry turned her head and found the milk and sandwich sitting on the desk in front of her.

"It's about the proposal you made yesterday. We already have some results," Chester said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately put down the sandwich and looked at him nervously. "What did they client say?"

He raised his head and said, "Take it easy. We can talk while you're eating."

However, Sherry didn't really feel like eating. She absolutely hated it when Chester kept her on the edge like this. It was obvious that he was deliberately teasing her. "Just tell me already!" she demanded.

He knew she would react like this. Grinning, he said, "The client... was very satisfied."

While he liked keeping up the suspense, he never held it in for too long. Still, Sherry couldn't believe her ears. "Really?"

He nodded.

Sherry heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that she wasn't behind and she was actually still as skilled as she had been.

She wanted to jump in joy but she restrained herself. She had to be calm in front of Chester. "I knew it!"

As Chester watched Sherry, he couldn't help but be amused. Sherry was indeed confident and mature.

"You need to maintain communication with the clients in case any problem arises. I've already told them to contact you directly. Don't forget to follow up," Chester reminded her.

Sherry shoved her breakfast aside as she nodded vigorously. "Mr. Gu, are you going to keep your promise?"

"Of course. Let's go." Seeing that she wasn't planning on eating anymore, he stood up and grabbed his coat that was hanging on the shelf.

"No. Everyone in the planning department already met me yesterday," Sherry said.

In reality, she actually didn't know if everyone already knew who she was. After all, when she went there, she only met with a few people. In addition to that, the creative director, along with a group of people, had gone on a business trip. She really didn't make any niceties with the other staff as she only focused on the business that she was going to do there.

While she wasn't sure if everyone knew her already, she was pretty sure that they at least had some idea who she was.

"No, I'm taking you to the advertising department of the head office." After he spoke, he opened the door.

Momentarily stunned, Sherry hurriedly followed behind Chester.

Beisy also followed behind her. In the elevator, Sherry tried to contain the joy she was feeling inside. "Are we going to the head office?" she asked once more to confirm.

Chester merely smiled which effectively reflected on the elevator door. This was already an acceptable answer for Sherry.

She felt so lucky to be hired by the head office of the SZ Advertising Company.

When she first met Maggie, she couldn't help but doubt if she really was capable of replacing Maggie.

She couldn't believe how well her luck was turning around.

"Congratulations, Miss Xu!" Beisy already knew that Sherry wasn't just an ordinary woman. Even though she just met her yesterday, she already knew that she was really capable.

Sherry smiled bashfully. "Thank you. As long as I can work for the company, I don't see why there should be any difference between the head company and the branch."

"Really? Beisy, why don't you take Miss Xu to the branch? Just give her the position of an ordinary employee."

In confusion, Beisy asked, "What?"

"I was just kidding, Mr. Gu. Don't take it seriously." Sherry stepped forward and stood next to him.

Since she could work at the head office, she certainly wouldn't want to go to the branch office.

Obviously, he was just joking with her.

Sherry let out a sigh of relief. Chester was watching her carefully. He couldn't help but notice how simple and pure she really was.

The advertising department of the head office was pretty huge—their staff was almost as twice as big as the branch itself. As soon as they went inside, they saw Langston, the creative director, leaving his office and seemingly yelling at a girl.

"Hey, boss is here!" someone announced the moment Chester stepped out of the elevator.

When Chester, Sherry, and Beisy arrived at the office, Langston wasted no time in greeting Chester with much respect, "Mr. Gu."

Chester nodded his head slightly while Beisy stepped forward and said, "I'd like to ask for everyone's attention please. I'm going to introduce our newest employee who's going to join us from now on."

After she spoke, she looked at Sherry who was standing next to Chester.

Wearing a white shirt paired with black trousers with her hair softly grazing her shoulders, Sherry looked so charming that everyone couldn't help but stare at her.

"This is Rose. She's your new manager," Chester explained in a low voice

Everyone exchanged glances. Despite their curiosity, they didn't say anything. Everyone who worked at the head office was selected very carefully so they weren't the type to gossip especially when their boss, Chester, was present.

Sherry was also startled. She didn't know why Chester would introduce her to be Rose.

Still, she shoved this thought aside as she took a step forward. With a smile, she said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Rose. Nice to meet you."

Chester then tapped Langston on the shoulder and said, "I've sent you a good partner. You should be thanking me."

After that, he turned to Sherry and said, "This is Langston Liang. He's the creative director and he's quite well-known in the industry. You're going to learn a lot from him."

Sherry nodded gratefully. However, it seemed that Langston didn't reciprocate her enthusiasm. "You shouldn't be thanking me just yet. I've yet to see if you really are capable."

While Chester was one of the best in the industry, ever since he became the boss, he'd hardly done any work actually related to advertising. Langston couldn't fully trust Chester's choice.

With that, Chester left with Beisy.

Langston wasn't interested in doing menial things such as assigning an office and giving out tasks. Those things were always arranged by his secretary who happened to be an easy-going and methodical person.

Sherry's new career was about to start!

However, what Sherry didn't know was that she was going to be the subject of gossip on her first day at work.

Before Beisy got off work, she went to the floor of the advertising department to ask Sherry about how her first day went. It just so happened that when Beisy went to the bathroom, she overheard a couple of women having a heated discussion about Sherry.

"Who's that Rose anyway? I tried to look into her but I couldn't find anything about her!" one of the women said.

"I bet she's untouchable. Did you see the luxurious clothes she was wearing?" another woman added.

Beisy couldn't help but think back to earlier that day when Chester had asked her to buy a few clothes for Sherry. She could confirm that the clothes Sherry was wearing were indeed expensive.

"That Sherry's obviously a big shot. The CEO personally introduced her to Langston," another commented.

"Who knows! We should just stay out of her way. We can't afford to offend her," one of the women said decisively.

"She definitely has Mr. Gu eating at the palm of her hand. Why else would a busy man like him take the time out of his day just to send her off to her first day of work?" one of the women said.

"I agree. She looks so young and yet she's the manager already. I bet she only got that position through Mr. Gu."

"Also, we don't even need to refer to her as our manager. Perhaps we should call her Mrs. Gu."

At this point, Beisy finally came out of one of the stalls. They all looked back and immediately recognized Beisy.

It's a well-known fact that any secretary of the CEO holds much power. Beisy was the person that Chester trusted the most. Needless to say, the women who were gossiping were immediately taken aback as they knew that Beisy had heard everything they had just said.

With an unreadable look on Beisy's face, she said coldly, "If you have the time to gossip then surely you have the time to go back to work. If I catch any of you doing this again, don't blame me for what

happens to any of you."

The women were startled. They nodded quickly and promised they'd never do it again. They scurried out of the bathroom in shock.

As Beisy watched them leave, she shook her head, thinking of Sherry.

As Sherry was leaving the office, she spotted a familiar car parked just out front.

She had to look twice. The people next to her didn't seem to find anything unusual about the luxury car that was parked out front.

However, the minute someone got out of the car, everyone couldn't help but stare.

It was Jeremy. He was walking towards Sherry with everyone's eyes glued on him.
