Chapter 79: She’s his pawn
Aaron closed his eyes and hummed lightly.
He didn’t look at her and Sherry left the ward at a brisk pace, the man instantly took out his phone and dialed Eral, “How did it go?”
“It’s all clear, Alex has contacted a few OEMs this time to work with Henry Group’s marketing department on their quarterly plans, and as you expected, Henry Group is going back into the domestic market, and it’s going to be Night Group’s share.”
Heh …
A cold smile tugged at the corners of the man’s mouth.
“Also, Alex has blocked all news of the hotel fire from the public, and I tried sending someone to check it out, with no luck.” Eral sounded guilty.
“He’s always done things, he’s always been steady, thorough, even impeccable.” Aaron tapped his fingers on his phone for a long moment before saying, “Get in touch with … again.”
When he had finished ordering this, he immediately switched off his phone and lay back against the bed with his eyes closed.
The door was pushed open.
Then there was a soft sound of footsteps.
Sherry carried the warm porridge to the bedside and called out softly, “The doctor said you could have a little white porridge, shall I help you up?”
The man’s mind suddenly wavered.
Snapping her eyes open, she stared intently into Sherry’s face.
But Sherry was too busy drying his porridge, her lips blowing gently, to notice his eyes at all.
Aaron looked at her with more than a touch of peace in his eyes, what was this woman in front of him, that he hadn’t seen before? She was at Swift Family, in his bed …
Any sound he has heard.
But just now this sound was drilled into his heart and could not be dispelled.
“Mr. Swift?”
Sherry, with spoon and bowl in hand, called out several times without seeing any response from him.
Aaron immediately withdrew his gaze and glanced at the bed, sneering, “Feeding me something like that?”
Sherry was a bit pissed off too.
“I had a hard time getting this back from the staff restaurant too, if you don’t eat it, you’ll have to wait eight hours later, if you wait, whatever.”
She was hungry.
Grabbed a spoon and bowl and ate straight away.
As he ate, he thought to himself that Aaron was the one who was not lucky enough to eat, and that he was the one who wanted to save face.
What’s wrong with white porridge?
When Sherry had taken a few large bites, Aaron suddenly reached out, grabbed the bowl and spoon from her and ate them straight away.
For a moment there, Sherry was confused for two seconds.
Does he think he’s some kind of a big shot, asking her to test his poison?
She gave Aaron an exasperated glare and turned to walk out.
Aaron didn’t care that the spoon was hers, took a few sips and then put it back down.
Just now, Nola hit Sherry again.
He didn’t care that the woman had been beaten, it was just that, these days, Nola was so different from how she used to be in his presence.
It is exactly time that will change a person.
Or has something changed in his heart so that he cannot tolerate those thoughts of the Garcia Family people.
Aaron’s brow furrowed and he looked down at the bowl of porridge.
“It’s just a bowl of white porridge, it’s tasteless.”
Later that evening, Aaron told Sherry what to do in advance.
“Remember? If there’s a half-assed mistake, you know the consequences.”
Meeting the man’s sultry gaze, Sherry nodded slowly and thought over what he had ordered in her mind.
“Then I’ll go and find Alex now.”
Sherry finished and didn’t feel like she was saying anything wrong.
But it only seemed that Aaron was looking at her in a way that didn’t seem the same as usual, but she didn’t have time to discern it before the man had already turned his head away impatiently.
“If you mess it up, I’ll have your life.”
Sherry responded and turned and headed out of the ward and straight to the main entrance of the hospital.
On the hospital bed, the man’s eyes slowly closed, and he would never have put his hopes in Sherry if he hadn’t been surrounded by people right now.
This is something that Sherry is well aware of.
But after all, Aaron had saved her mother and her life, and she had to be grateful.
Ten minutes later.
She stood at the entrance of the hotel room, in front of Alex, and whispered an apology, “Mr. Henry, because of Night Group’s negligence, which led to this accident, Night Group will take full responsibility and will also suspend the acquisition of this hotel.”
“So?” Alex raised a lowered eyebrow.
He guessed that Night Group would send someone over, but never expected that it would be Sherry.
He leaned forward and spared a few moments of playful tone, “Who will take the blame for this?”
“We won’t have a definitive answer until after we investigate the details, I’ll book the tickets and send the three of you out of the country.” Sherry said exactly as Aaron had instructed, word for word.
She doesn’t drag her feet in the slightest.
And every word is businesslike, making it impossible to pick out any mistakes.
Her clear eyes lifted up to look straight at Alex, “Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be harmful to the reputation of Night Group, and to your own personal reputation, Mr. Henry.
That is, Aaron is not pursuing the matter.
The condition was that the three Alex’s would leave as soon as possible.
The words fell, Alex’s eyes suddenly cold, “I came back to China, not just for such a small case of hotel acquisition, with him, also deserve to let me go?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Sherry was shocked by the aura that emanated from him.
Biting the corner of her lips, she said slowly, “Mr. Henry doesn’t need to be angry, business is not a moment, when Mr. Swift is discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, you have plenty of time to take your time and discuss.”
“You threatened me!”
Alex slammed down on Sherry’s wrist and slammed her whole body against the wall.
Sherry’s body was light, and she barely managed to look completely unafraid, “Mr. Henry knows in his heart that I’m just the messenger.”
It was at that moment that Sherry knew she had to be a useful pawn.
Otherwise, the only way to get caught between Alex and Aaron is to die.
“Heh … you’re a very good dog to use.” Alex stared dead into Sherry’s face for a long moment before he let go, disgust filling his eyes.
“Go back and tell Aaron that he’s alive now, not because he’s lucky, but because I’ve left him a way out, and next time, not necessarily.”
Alex narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled contemptuously.
“And you, better hold on tight to Aaron and don’t let him get rid of you.”
Otherwise, she would have died at his hands.
It was that momentary look that Sherry felt the blood in her entire body freeze, and she forced a smile, “Thank you Mr. Henry for your kindness.”
This is what Eral taught her.
At all times, it is important to keep ‘manners’ in check.
Alex eventually grunted coldly and flung the door shut.
And by now Sherry’s back was already dripping with cold sweat, but for some reason she had smelled a very special perfume when the door had just closed.
Where have you smelled it before?
But it was about Alex and she really didn’t want to think about it, so she hurriedly picked up her pace and entered the lift.
In the room, Nola hid behind the wardrobe, afraid that Sherry might see what she was doing in Alex’s room, and she poked out, cautiously, “Gone?”
