Chapter 31: 1. Sheri Hoal
When Sheri wakes up, she carefully verifies the date. She came back the day after she encounters
Devon at her Father''s private office.
She can, however, instantly feel the grief of losing something. She keeps on thinking about it but can''t
recall anything. She tries shaking it off and went and prepare for her appointment on that day.
After dressing up she walked toward the kitchen she notices her mom cooking. She instantly embraced
her at her back. The smell of her mom calms her nerves. Her mom look back and saw her daughter
ready to go to work.
"Morning mom," Sheri said.
"Morning sweetie did you have a good sleep today." Her mom asked while continuing what she''s doing.
Sheri sits in the kitchen counter facing her mom.
"Yup" with a long resounding p.
"Hey mom, remember the one we saw, the apartment that you think it''s nice. I already acquired it."
Sheri said.
A few months ago Sheri wanted to have her own privacy that''s why she insists on living by her self. It
takes her months and days until she was able to persuade her parents to let her live by herself.
Sven and Ric have their owned condo, but they still prefer living with their parents.
"That''s nice to hear honey. When are you nning to move in?" Her mom asked.
"I think I will be moving after I''m done renovating, I already sought someone to refurbish and restyle it,"
Sheri said.
"Ok, By the way, sweetie how was your friends. I never saw them anymore. Did you guys have a fight
or something? Her mom asked. After the time she wakes up in a bad dream her mom notice that she
doesn''t bring anymore her friends.
Sheri stops swaying rhythmically her feet "Oh the so-called fake friends of mine." Sheri thought.
"We are just busy with our careers." Sheri lied. She doesn''t want her mom to know she already stops
"Oh that''s sad." her mom said.
Her mom stood still and finished what she was doing and hand over the te toward Sheri. Sheri
epted the te and start eating.
"You know sweetie. You don''t have to do this. This house is big enough for all of us and one more thing
you will miss mommy''s food." Her mom said. She knows Sheri wants to be independent, but they are
reluctant to let her live by herself especially that they have seen how workaholic she is.
Sheri smiles toward her mom. She set her half-eaten food on the counter and went to tenderly embrace
her mom and kiss her cheek. "No worries'' mom I will take good care of my self and you cane
every day to properly check on me."
Sheri said gently.
"Sigh! Alright, I really can''t persuade you." Sheri''s mom holds her daughter''s cheek and smiles.
"Need to go, before the 4 adorable puppies will wake up." Sheriugh. Anyhow, presently she has
much work to do since Mr. Jack has agreed with the deal.
Her mom looked at her.
"Yes, you better go or else they will leech on you." Her mom urges her to go.
"Alright, see you this evening," Sheri said.
While ago, her stalker was watching her get out of bed and get ready for the day. She never knew that
her stalker made sure he can carefully monitor her wherever she is.
7 months have passed by Sheri was busy renovating her new apartment at the same time doing her
for a dinner, but Sheri made frequent excuses. He, however, keep on sending fancy gifts and flowers.
Periodically he intentionally goes toward her parents''pany to establish a rtionship, but she
always hides or if she knows he wille she will not be there.
Eric also keeps on sending gifts and cards. In which Sheri wholly disregards them. The maids and the
stuff especially her assistant were all enthusiasts every time Sheri distributes the gifts she receives
from Eric and Devon. She tried returning to them, yet it ends up receiving more gifts.
One day, the time she arrived at her private office she found luxury boxes of choctes, rare flowers,
and even pieces of valuable jewelry. Xioli is beaming from ear to ear while Sheri gently massaged her
brow.
"Why can''t these men stop sending her gifts? Xioli you know what to do." Sheri said while walking
toward her desk.
Xioli smile. "Yes maám." He carefully gathered everything and properly distributes it to everyone.
Her fierce determination to not have any dealings with them has also been known by her parents. They
tried asking her why she doesn''t entertain them, but she just said she didn''t want to have any dealings
with the devils. In which her parents naturally ponder, what did Devon and Eric did toward their
daughter?
One day Eric came toward her father''spany and discusses a deal.
Sheri was there, her dad begged her to join the meeting. Sheri really wanted to make an excuse but
when she saw her father pleading eyes she agrees. Her father wants that she will start dating or going
out. He doesn''t want that her young daughter will be tied down by work. On the other side Sheri was
having so many negative thoughts in her head. She is trying her best to not think of her past and just
focus on what is happening.
Sheri prepare herself. She went together with her dad to meet Eric and lead them to the conference
room. When the meeting started she was nervous. shes of gruesome images keep appearing on
her head. She wanted to get it done, and she wants to get out as soon as possible. Nevertheless, for
the sake of her father she endures the whole meeting.
During the meeting. Eric was merely focused on Sheri. He assigned someone to deliver the
presentation. He is observing everything about her. The way she bites her pen, creased her brow,
talked and presents their n.
Sheri wears a in ck pencil cut skirt and a blue navy blouse. She represents an exquisite modern
modest woman. She wears minimal makeup, and her hair was put up using an ornamental hairpin.
He was in deep thought while looking at her. No one can see that he was looking at her because he
seated at the far end of the table while Sheri was at the front. Sheri ignores that someone is staring at
her.
When they are done. Eric walked toward her.
"Ms. Sheri, can I speak to you in private? " Eric asked her.
Sheri looked at her dad. Her dad smiles, he was also observing the interaction between the two. He
went out together with the rest of the staff. They left Eric and Sheri alone. Making Sheri nervously and
paled. She starts fidgeting.
"How can I help you, Mr. Copper?" she bravely looked at his eyes hiding her hand that starts shaking.
"I want to pursue you." Eric casually said.
Sheri was stunned. " Pardon?" Sheri asked. She even cleans her ear to really make sure she grasps
what he stated.
Eric chuckled with her actions.
"I said, I want to pursue you. I know you''ve been avoiding me but still, I want to pursue you." Eric said
while leaning on the table facing the shocked Sheri.
" I''m sorry Mr. Copper, but I''m unavable," Sheri said while fixing the paper on her table.
Eric chuckled.
He went closer toward her and moves the flowing hair in front of her face and ces it at the back of
her ear and whisper.
"You are avable," Eric gently said while looking at her eyes.

Sheri froze. Eric strokes her lips but Sheri directly pushed him.
" Mr. Copper. It seems your getting out of line. I don''t know you and besides I don''t ever intend to marry
in this life. I will be entering a monastery soon so better forget about me." Sheri bluntly lies and bravely
looked at him eye to eye.
Eric smiled tenderly at her. "In that case, I will work hard to make sure you will not be epted in any
of those monasteries," Eric said while smiling.
" Do as you wish," Sheri said and walked away she can''t stand talking to him. Leaving Eric gaze
intently at her back.
