    After a while, there was no movement over there. Sherman removed her hands from


    Kingsley''s ears and patted his chest. It was surprising that such a steady man was impulsive.


    Kingsley saw Sherman flushed to the ears. He nced at his watch and found that the


    meeting was minutes away.


    "Lipstick," Kingsley uttered.


    Although Sherman was confused, she fished it out and handed him.


    Kingsley held Sherman''s chin in his left hand, unscrewed the lipstick out with his right, and gently put lipstick on her lips.


    Sherman had already put on lipstick, but her lipstick was smudged after that kiss. She looked a little awkward.


    When Kingsley put lipstick on her, his adam''s apple bobbed. Sherman registered that, and her heart quivered slightly; then she avoided his eyes.


    And then Sherman went out to see if anyone was outside and made sure it was clear before she let him out. She was as careful as a thief.


    Kingsley, on the contrary, was unperturbed. He walked out calmly and gracefully, his hands in his pockets.


    They came into the reference room one after another, and no one noticed them. Sherman sat in the back, and Kingsley sat at the head of the table.


    The colleague next to Sherman nudged her and asked her if she had gone to powder her nose.


    Sherman blushed and nodded casually, then looked down at the file, pretending to read the data.


    She was just a makeweight in the project, so she would not have the chance to take the floor. Hence, she could sit there and wander.


    Hearing that it was Kingsley''s turn to speak, Sherman raised her head. Hardly had Kingsley said a word when his phone rang.


    He took his phone out of his pocket, looked at it, said he was sorry, answered it, and walked out of the conference room.


    Sherman stared at the conference door, and she could tell that this call was important.


    After a while, Kingsley didn''te in, but Lee came in and said something to the mayor and left.


    The mayor said Mr. Wright had some urgent business to attend to, and the conference


    continued.


    Sherman wondered, ''What happened?''


    The conference ended in half an hour, then Sherman came back to the office.


    Last night, the demolition team worked overnight, and soon all the houses could be demolished. Thus, her design and drawings should be perfected as soon as possible. Construction would begin soon.


    Sherman threw herself into the work seriously and rigorously. Carelessness was not allowed in the project.


    At the end of work, Billy came over and cornered Sherman in the manager''s office, "I have done with Natalie."


    Sherman said, "It''s none of my business."


    "I think you should know this."


    Sherman rubbed her temple, "All right, I get it. You can go now."


    Billy wanted to drive her home, which gave Sherman such a headache. Sherman ignored him, but he kept pestering her all the way downstairs.


    Sherman had a cold and was too weak to tangle with him, then she said, "I''m thirsty. Can you buy me a cup of hot bubble tea?"


    Sherman finally spoke to Billy, who, of course, was delighted to go across to the bubble tea cafe.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    However, when he came back with hot bubble tea, there was no one at the gate of thepany. Sherman had already left by taxi.
