Chapter 146


    “Ah? What…”


    “Sylvia, wasn’t it agreed that I was just going over to spend a few days with you, right?”


    That was indeed the agreement at the beginning.


    Sylvia sighed, a bit resigned, “Alright then, but remember, you’re always wee back. Ther


    Johnsons are always here for you.”


    “Okay, I know.” Sherilyn replied with a cheerful smile.


    Just after hanging up, Colin stepped in. Behind him were delivery folks, one with a stack of pizzas


    and another with a bouquet of roses, instantly filling the dressing room to the brim.


    “Sherilyn.” Colin’s face bloomed with a grin, giving Sherilyn a wink, “It’s from Mr. Gilbert.”


    But Sherilyn couldn’t muster any joy. A shiver ran down her spine, cold sweat breaking out on her


    back asyers of fear enveloped her….


    After the show, Sherilyn received a call from Gilbert. She really


    there was no escaping him.


    “Hello?” She answered in the end.


    ‘t want to answer, but


    “What time are you done today?” On the other end, Gilbert said, “I’m on my way over. Wait for me,


    I’ll pick you up.”


    “No, there’s no need…”


    Gilbert cut her off as soon as he heard those words, “I’m not asking for your opinion, understand?”


    With that, he hung up.


    Sherilyn, clutching her phone, nervously bit her finger. She couldn’t understand why he had


    suddenly be like this. She wasn’t a naive girl anymore… Gilbert’s behavior towards her was


    that of a man towards a woman… But to say he liked her? She would never believe that! She didn’t


    want to know why, she just didn’t want him to get any closer. Right… he said he was on his way


    over!


    Sherilyn quickly removed her makeup and packed up, rushing towards the exit.


    ‘Sherilyn!”


    Just as she was about to reach the door, someone grabbed her arm.


    “Hm?”


    She turned to see Edgar. Sherilyn’s puzzled look hadn’t faded when Edgar frowned slightly, “What’s


    wrong? Did something happen?”


    She seemed to be frightened, very unsettled.

    “I…” Sherilyn paused, offering a small smile as she shook her head. “It’s nothing. Just a bit tired


    and in a hurry to get home.”


    “Is that so?” Edgar wasn’t quite convinced, feeling she wasn’t telling the whole truth.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Yes.” Sherilyn obviously couldn’t tell him the truth.


    “Alright then.”


    Edgar nced at his watch, “I was about to leave myself, let me drive you.”


    “How can I?” Sherilyn quickly shook her head, waving her hands, “I can’t expect you to drive me


    every day.”


    ay very!


    Edgar raised an eyebrow, smiling, “Didn’t you say you were very tired? In a hurry to go home?” As


    they were talking, Sherilyn’s phone rang. Her heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling washing over her.


    She pulled it out to see–it was a message from Gilbert.


    [I’m at the entrance. Are you done? Or should Ie in?]


    After reading, Sherilyn’s face turned even paler.


    “Sherilyn?” Edgar noticed something was off, “Are you okay?”


    “Uh?” Sherilyn clenched her phone, forcing a smile. “I’m fine…”


    What to do? If she just walked out, Gilbert would catch her red–handed!


    In a moment of desperation, she looked at Edgar, “Could you, please, drive me home?”


    Edgar was momentarily surprised, then a pleased look spread across his face as he nodded, “Of


    course.”


    Lifting his arm, he gestured forward, “After you-


    “Thank you.”


    Across the street from the main entrance, Gilbert sat in his car, holding his phone, waiting for


    da Sherilyn’s response. Looking up, he saw a man and a woman,ughing and walking out side by


    side.
