?


    Because of those words, they stopped talking, which brought a kind of embarrassing atmosphere in the car. Actually it was much more embarrassing than before.


    They drove forward and finally stopped in front of a residential building. Sherman sat upright and took a deep breath, "I''m sorry."


    It meant rejection....


    "I''m supposed to be the one to say sorry. It''s still raining outside, and I guess you need an umbre..."


    Leaning forward, Kingsley took out an umbre from the back seat and gave it to her, as if her refusal didn''t affect him at all.


    Though being rejected, he maintained his gentility and politeness. This was probably the difference between a mature man and a normal one.


    Sherman took the umbre, got off the car and left after reminding him of safe drive.


    Back to her apartment, Sherman sat on the sofa with a cup of warm water in her hand. Her mind was wandering.


    Sherman couldn''t understand why an outstanding man like him would be interested in her, a woman who just got a divorce.


    He was not kidding, but she coouldn''t understand the reason he gave...


    Standing up, she observed herself in front of the mirror. She was not pretty, just a normal woman in medium size.


    Without thinking too much, Sherman shook her head and went to her bedroom.


    Kingsley was too shining, outstanding and always the focus of audience, but she had got self -knowledge. What''s more, she was not going to start a new rtionship at that moment.


    For seven years of affection, perseverance and sacrifice, what she got in return was Billy''s betrayal.


    How could she believe in love after having gone through so much?


    Now she was scarred and exhausted after giving and being hurt so much. As for love, it brought her nothing but the fear.


    To this day, she would still had nightmares sometimes.


    The next day, Sherman went to the manager''s office. She was really unsure about this business proposal. In addition, she was not capable of that.


    After knowing her intention, the manager waved his hand and asked her to go out, reacting exactly the same as what he didst time.


    "You already knew what I''m capable of. I cannot afford the consequence."


    "How about this. Once we get the project, I''ll send another colleague to handle it, and themission will be shared by you two. Is that okay?"


    The manager was determined to let her take the project.


    Sherman was speechless.


    "Well, any questions?" The manager looked up, staring at her.


    "I mean I don''t want to be responsible for the whole project. No matter it is about winning the project or about the implementation afterward, I don''t want to be involved in."


    The manager was slightly angry, "This ispany''s decision without any negotiation. What you said doesn''t help."


    In the end, Sherman walked out disappointedly.


    She didn''t want to take this project for the following reasons. Firstly, she was notpetent enough; secondly, she''d better not meet with Kingsley anymore for the situation had be slightly embarrassing between them two; thirdly, the manager gave her the project because of her connections with Kingsley, but what if she failed...


    While Sherman was quite frustrated, Yanny scorned at her, "It seems someone is lucky and being taken seriously. Isn''t she worried about it is too much for her to take such a big project?"


    "I am indeed worried about that. How about we exchange our position? I''d love to do that."


    Yanny sneered and murmured to herself. She and Mr. Wright knew each other. So what was the big deal?


    The manager''s assistant told Sherman that Mr. Wright would meet all representatives in a restaurant, and she must be dressed up and show up.


    Sherman really wanted to pour the mug of hot tea over the manager''s face.


    More ridiculously, the manager probably disliked her makeup, so he asked Yanny to help her.


    Yanny behaved weirdly and moved her hands quickly over Sherman''s face, while Sherman sat upright and stiffly.


    Last time she arrived toote. So this time before going off duty, the manager sent a car to drive her there and especially emphasized that she could go home directly, instead of going back topany after the meeting, which made other colleagues quite jealous.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Outside of the meeting room in Bauhinia Pce were standing a group of representatives, most of whom were females including Sherman.


    After a while, the door of the meeting room was opened. Kingsley was sitting in centre, wearing a dark blue shirt and the ck suit.


    The table was very long, and all representatives had sat down. All females quietly took the seats in the front, except Sherman who stepped backward.


    "Because of time limits, it is impossible to let you speak as long as you want, so each of you got 10 minutes. If you really have to speak for 11 minutes, I will explicitly show you the exit of the meeting room, because I always cooperate with those who abide by rules."
