Chapter 18: 5. Sheri Hoal
When Sheri is done with her talks. She turned around and was supposed to hug her dad to say that Mr.
Jack is considering their offer, her excitement went towards the drain when she saw the guests in her
father''s office. She was shaken. She holds her phone tight to stop her shaky hands. Her knees want to
give way, but she is just rooted in her ce. She stares at her father questioning why is that man in his
office. Her father nces at her daughter''s inquiry look.
"Mr. Devon meets my oldest daughter Sheri Hoal." Devon got up from his seat and smile. He walked
sophisticated toward Sheri who looked pale. He extends his hand to shake her hand. Sheri grips her
cellphone harder almost crushing her phone. She reaches out and shakes his hand and pretends
nothing.
"Nice to meet you ms. Sheri". He raises her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Sheri summoned all her strength to be not disgusted, shaken, stutter nor faint.
Her brother and father lifts their eyebrows. When they saw how Devon was eager to hold her hand. On
the other side Sheri is chanting so many mantras to take off her mind of all the images that passed
through her mind.
The moment he tenderly touches her hand he feels electrocuted. Her hand is beautiful, soft and cold.
His ecstatic trance was interrupted when she spoke and gradually pulled her hand.
"Same here Mr. Devon, how can we help you?" said Sheri, putting her hand on her back.
The moment she pulled her hand at his grasp he frowns. He wanted to continue holding her. He looked
at her beautiful face and smile.
"I came on behalf of my grandmother," Devon said.
Sheri was confused, but Devon saw her facial reaction.
" A few months ago you helped my grandmother when a thief got her bag. Her bag contains myte
grandfather''s watch. She wanted toe personally and thank you one more time, but she had a small
ident, and we''ve been tracking you for how many months and luckily we have found you, that''s why
she sends me. My grandmother wants to coborate. After she found out that you are from the family
Hoal."
Devon said, in which half lie and half-truth.
Unknowingly from her. The moment, his grandma''s secretary notify him of what happened. He let
someone investigate and looked at the camera in front of the restaurant. When the video arrived, he
watched it and was surprised by how she kicked, punch and elegantly walked with her ripped skirt. The
way she humbly spoke toward his grandma makes him interested to meet her. He wanted to meet her
yesterday at the party but was hindered.
On the other side. Sheri was angry at herself. If she knew the old woman was his grandma, She
wouldn''t mediate. She was infuriated of herself. Inside her, she''s fuming with anger. For the sake of
appearance, she painstakingly didn''t show her emotion in her face.
"It''s nothing, Mr. Devon. I think everyone would do what I did."
Sheri said.
He chuckled and looked at her beautiful eyes.
"Not everyone can do what you did that day," Devon said with a grinning smile.
Her father was curious about what, did her daughter, did to make this devile to theirpany.
Her father was a clean businessman, and they don''t want to have dealings with a man who runs one of
the biggest underworlds. He knows his family n was built by blood of other''s that''s why he doesn''t
want to offend this man.
Her brother remembers what happened a few months ago. If their parents know what happened, they
will be horrified and shocked.
Sheri looked at his brother trying to make a conversation through her eye. Devon saw it and chuckle.
Her brother responded. "Mr. Devon, it''s enough that you personally came and thank us. For
coboration, we know that coborating with yourpany will indeed benefit us, but we are just a
small businesspare to your empire." Sven politely said.
Sheri was satisfied to hear those words of her brother.
She smiles toward him and looked at Mr. Devon who was surprised.
Devon stiffens when he saw her smile. He was still for a moment and stares intently toward Sheri.
Sheri felt goosebumps all over her body the moment, his eyes directed at her.
He snaps from his thought. Indeed, the gossip was true that the Hoal Company didn''t coborate with
anypany making them safe in all aspects.
"Since I can''t change your business protocol, then can I asked ms. Sheri for a dinner as a thankful gift
for helping my grandma" asked Devon.
Her dad on the side was still confused about what is happening, he will talk to them soon anyway.
" That would be indeed better, Sheri what do you think?" asked Sheri''s father.
She saw her father smile indicating she should ept it. She grips her cellphone tighter because of
firm grip some shards of the phone are cutting Sheri''s hand. She will say yes today and just find an
excuseter on.
"Ok you can let my secretary know when and where, by the way, I have to go back to work an
important transaction is urgently needed to be taken care of, so please excuse me if I have to cut this
meeting short," said Sheri.
Devon was again surprised the way she excuses her self. She seems she''s running away from him, but
he knows she can''t run. No matter where she goes, he will chase her. His a Goori. He gets what he
wants.
"Then I see you soon miss Sheri." He enthusiastically said.
He reaches his hand again wanting to touch her soft hand. She extends her uninjured hand towards
him and Devon holds it and kisses the back of her hand again. Sheri wanted to run and wash, but she
keeps her cool.
"See u soon then" she slowly withdraws her hand from his grasp she looked at her father and brother
and warmly smiles. He was trance with her smile. Her smile toward her family makes his cold-blooded
heart beat so fast. All the rumors before about her were all lies. She is a gorgeous, fine, gentle, warm
and kinddy.
Sheri looked at Mr. Devon and the way he keenly looked at her causing her to fell chill in her spine. She
cracks a smile at him, his secretary and bid her goodbye. The moment she departs from that
suffocating room. She strode toward her office and run toward herfort room and clean her hand.
The soap makes her winced, but she doesn''t care. She is disgusted with that man. The way they did
toward her in her old life is something she will never forget.
Suddenly the mechanical voice spoke in her head.
"Host sorry to bother you but you have 3 hours left we need to you to do the second mission ASAP. We
are sorry to cut your days short."
"Hmmm alright, but is there a problem?" Sheri inquires.
The mechanical voice talks one more time.
" I will exinter. Host hurry up we are running out of time."
Sheri hurriedly wipes her hand dries and put the anti-disinfectant alcohol to the ce where Devon
kissed afterward she went to her desk.
After an hour arranging all the things needed for the transaction, she asked her secretary to send it to
her brother and father. She also leaves a note that she will go home early.
She knows that her father is still entertaining his guest, so she takes this opportunity to escape and

also escape his father''s inquiry about the incident.
She rushes toward their mansion and locked herself in her room she hears the mechanical voice
counting again. She felt dizzy for a sec and when she opened her eyes she is now in the void space.
"Wee back host, no time to exin I will transfer you immediately to your next mission when you
arrive at your mission I will exin everything."
Sheri felt dizzy again when she opens her eyes she was in the middle of a forest.
