Chapter 1945 One-Sided Love


    Adrienne was still a tiny bit hopeful before meeting Sheridan. Perhaps she was hoping that


    someone else had been mistaken for him, or that the real viin just looked very much alike to


    Sheridan.


    As long as they didn''t meet, anything was possible.


    Once Adrienne met Sheridan, everything that Jefferson had just told her right then would be a


    reality, then...


    Thinking of this, Jefferson felt his scalp turn numb. However, Adrienne still smiled and answered,


    "Okay."


    That was what she said.


    For some reason, her answer weighed heavily in his heart, leaving him at a loss. Adrienne suddenly


    switched the topic. She queried, "By the way, did you meet up with Johan just now? Since the


    person you went to seest night was not him, why did he let Sierra leave the hotel alone at that


    hour? Did they get into a fight? You know what? I think I''ll find some time and have a good chat with


    Sierra."


    The only people Jefferson had in mind at that moment were Adrienne and Sheridan. He did not


    have the mood to bother about what was happening between Sierra and Johan. Meanwhile, Johan


    was dressed in a bespoke suit as he walked along the hotel lobby. His devilish good looks had


    undoubtedly garnered attention from the passers by.


    As he walked, he instructed his assistant, Alexis, "Go to the reception and book a conference room.


    We''ll have a brief meeting once everyone''s here. We have to secure the deal with Rovio no matter


    what."


    "Got it." Alexis took a look at the time and asked, "Mr. Ss, the rest of the team will only be getting


    off the ne in an hour, and it will take at least two hours for them to arrive here. Now that we have


    two hours of idle time, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"


    "There''s no need for that." Johan said without any hesitation.


    "But you haven''t slept well for the past two nights. No matter how strong you are, it''s going to take a


    toll on your body." As Alexis spoke, he noticed a woman walking toward them. "Miss Sierra is here."


    Johan kept quiet. When he looked at Sierra, his eyes darkened, and even his body became slightly


    stiff.


    "I''ll check with the hotel about the conference room first." Alexis said before leaving sensibly. When


    he left, he couldn''t help but look at Sierra. She was the daughter of the Yard family. Most people


    couldn''t even get near her, but... He didn''t dare to think about it anymore. He was afraid that he


    would get himself into unnecessary trouble.


    Now that Alexis had left, Johan was about to leave too, but Sierra stopped him. He was much taller


    than her. Even though she wore high heels, she still had to raise her head to look at him. "Mr. Ss,


    you must be really busy. I even have toe to the hotel lobby just to get a glimpse of you."


    "What''s the matter?" Johan raised his eyebrows and looked at Sierra with displeasure.


    Sierra was a beautiful woman, tall and thin. She was wearing a gorgeous blue dress, but she looked


    slightly sickly. She retorted stubbornly and willfully, "Must I have a reason to look for you?"


    "Miss Yard, if you have something to say, please spit it out. I still have other matters to attend to at


    the moment." Johan urged politely, and his tone was distant. He took a small step back to keep the


    distance between them as if the woman in front of him was merely an acquaintance.


    His attitude annoyed Sierra, but she couldn''t vent her anger at a public ce. She approached him


    and whispered, "Johan, if you really want to close the deal with Rovio, thene with me to my


    room this instant. Otherwise..."


    "Otherwise, what?" Before Sierra could finish her sentence, Johan shot her a cold look. He red at


    her for a few seconds before turning around and leaving resolutely.


    "Johan Ss!" She shouted at him, but it was as if he couldn''t hear her. He didn''t waver in his steps


    at all.


    She added, "I''m sick!"


    He hesitated but it was barely two seconds before he strode forward again.


    "Sick?"

    "Huh!"


    Johan recalled the time when she looked so pale that he thought that she had fallen sick. He rushed


    her to the clinic, but it ended up being a prank. Sheughed as she told him that she had used


    makeup to make herself look ill, and that she did it just because she wanted to get him to spend


    some time with her.


    "Fool me once, shame on you.


    But fool me twice, shame on me," Johan thought to himself.


    Thinking of this, Johan unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.


    "Johan! You..." She could catch up with him and pester him like she always did. Yet, when she saw


    how determined he was as he walked away, she felt like every ounce of energy in her body was


    drained. She felt like there was no way she could ever catch up to him anymore.


    Ever since they had gotten engaged two years ago, no matter how Sierra tried to get close to him or


    make him stay, he was still the same old workaholic. Johan would never make time for her and their


    rtionship had always been a onesided one.


    "Johan..." Sierra called out his name. He was already so far away that his figure was disappearing


    from her sight, but she still couldn''t bear to look away. It was as if doing so could make her feel


    closer to him.


    At the end of the day, she still couldn''t bear to let go of him.


    After all, Sierra had loved him for many years, and in order to be with him, she had invested all her


    time and effort into him.


    Two years ago, she was able to find a way to get engaged to him.


    Perhaps, if she tried a little harder, just a little


    more, he could be her husband.


    At 1 a.m, Johan''s subordinates finally arrived at Chatterton Town.


    Johan led his team as they prepared for the meeting with Rovio the next day. Everything they


    needed to close the deal was ready, but Johan was still being cautious. He wanted to gather


    everyone there before the big day and finalize their discussions so that there would be no mishaps


    during the submission of the tender.


    Johan received a text message on his mobile phone just right after the meeting had begun.


    He knew that there was only one person who would send him a message at that hour. He nced


    at his cell phone, and a line of words popped up on the lock screen. The message read, "Johan,


    you know me. If I say I''m sick, it means that I really am!"


    Reading the message, Johan could feel the vein on his forehead popping. Nevertheless, he acted


    calm and threw his phone aside.


    The people in the meeting looked at each other while Alexis spoke up, "Mr. Ss..."


    "Go on!" Johan motioned for his subordinates to continue with the discussion. However, Johan kept


    ncing at his phone during the meeting.


    Theck of notifications was making him more anxious as time went by.
