Chapter 529 Holley Ye


    Sheryl felt extremely dejected as she came to the back stage. Sue rushed towards her and


    Sue could understand how Sheryl must be feeling. She tried her best to cheer her up and motivate her.


    Sheryl tried to stop crying and remained silent for a while. She lowered her head with a gloomy face.


    Sue kept patting her back to pep her up but of no avail. After a long time, she lifted her head slowly and


    turned to Sue downheartedly. "Of course it''s my problem. Indeed, I had a terrible performance today,"


    she spoke atst.


    It was a tough fight for her to justify herself in the modeling business with such intensepetition.


    Sheryl''s age was not by her side. And on the top of that she almost messed up the rehearsal just now.


    When she looked at the furious Director Ang, a chill ran down her. She almost felt her modeling career


    to be over.


    "Come on, Sher!" Sue encouraged, as she tried to help her friend get over it. No matter how much


    Sue and requested,"Mimi, I''d like to stay alone for a while."


    "Well... Okay, then." Sue nodded at her hesitantly as she stood up to leave. Looking at Sheryl''s


    scowling face, she continued with concern,"Then I''ll go back to the rehearsal. Call me if you need


    anything."


    "Sure, I will," Sheryl replied. As she watched Sue walk back to the stage, she rose up, took a deep


    breath and decided to go for a walk.


    As she took her steps forward to walk out of the venue, once again, the onstage debacle that took


    ce during the rehearsal came crowding her mind. How just a stupid stomach ache made her so limp


    that she could not maintain her grace on the stage! She just lost control on her limbs and expression...


    She just could not hold back the pain. It made her so helpless.


    She felt terrible for this mistake. She felt repented the moment again and again. Now, it would cost her


    a heavy price for this mistake. Being out of the show at this moment meant...


    She shuddered at the very thought of the repercussions this debacle could bring upon her career and


    financial condition. Absorbed in her thoughts, she didn''t even notice the steps. As a result, she missed


    a step and copsed to the ground. Fortunately she just hurt her ankle slightly.


    "What a bad day!" Sheryl grumbled. As she tried to stand up, she realized that the apparently "slight"


    looking injury was not really so nominal after all. She seemed to have sprained her ankle. She


    struggled to stand up but failed. She rolled her eyes up and cursed her stars. ''Why is everything just


    going against her at the eleventh hour?'' She felt miserable. All of a sudden, a tender voice reached her


    ear,"Are you okay?"


    Complete broken and bruised, Sheryl was unable to get up. She looked up to see where the voice


    came from. The woman''s voice was as pleasing and soft as the warm breeze in the Spring.


    As she raised her head, she was greeted by an exquisite looking woman. She had absolutely perfect


    features - slim arched eyebrows followed by long pushy eyshes, big and beautiful eyes that were


    rather scary. As she sat there marveling at the perfect features of the woman, she wondered at her jaw


    dropping beauty. After a while, Sheryl shook herself up and thought to herself, ''She is absolutely no


    natural beauty. I''m sure she went through a stic surgery.''


    Sheryl was taken aback at the sudden disy of concern from a stranger and replied awkwardly,"I''m...


    I''m fine."


    "How are you feeling? Can you walk now?" the girl asked. With furrowed brows, she offered,"Let me


    help you."


    The girl helped Sheryl to stand up and supported her to enter the hotel hall slowly. She sat Sheryl down


    and walked away hastily. Then she came back with medicine and a basin of hot water. She approached


    to treat Sheryl''s feet and said,"You should not ignore the injury. Let me apply the medicine oil for you."


    Sheryl felt extremely embarrassed at her warm gesture and said,"No, thank you..." "You''ve helped me


    a lot. I can''t bother you anymore," she refused politely while trying to pull her feet back but in vain.


    "Well, okay," the girl noticed her uneasiness and stopped insisting. With a look at Sheryl''s ankle, she


    continued with a smile,"Your injury isn''t serious. You''ll recover after taking rest at home for a couple of


    days."


    "Rest?" Sheryl mumbled to herself with a pale smile,"How could it be possible?"


    ''I came to Y City for work, '' she thought. It was her work that preupied her mind. She came here all


    geared up for work. She wanted to make her mark on the ramp and gather des for her work.


    Then she would go back to her daughter and give her all the happiness and love. But all this was only


    possible if she could just get up and work. Not being able to be with her colleagues at the rehearsal


    made her feel miserable. On top of that if anyone even spoke of taking rest or a break from work,


    Sheryl felt like screaming, ''Stop saying that word! I need to work! I am here to work!"


    Looking at the tension on Sheryl''s face, the girl said,"What''s wrong? Do you have any problem? You


    can tell me. Perhaps I can help you solve your problem."


    "That''s so nice of you. Thank you. But I think I can handle it myself," Sheryl refused politely. "Oh, I don''t


    know your name yet. I''ll treat you to a meal in return," she added.


    "It''s not a big deal. You don''t need to do that," the girl replied with a courteous smile. "I''m Holley Ye."


    "Well, Miss Ye..." Sheryl said smiling,"I''m Sheryl Xia. You can call me Sher."


    "Sher..." Holley Ye called out. Shemented with an admiring smile,"It''s a very nice name."


    "Holley..." The growing acquaintance between two women was halted by a sudden intervention by a


    male voice right behind them. Both the women got startled and looked back to see where the voice


    came from. To her surprise, Sheryl saw that it was the man who had interviewed her.


    "Mr. Han?" Sheryl muttered in shock. She realized that Holley Ye knew George Han. She even had a


    sudden intuition that they might be in an intimate rtionship.


    "Miss Xia, shouldn''t you be rehearsing? What are you doing here?" asked the young man. Both Holley


    Ye and George Hanplimented each other in their looks. Both of them were extremely good looking


    and refined in all aspects. He had just received a call from his employee and learned that Director Ang


    got angry with the woman in front of him. In fact, he had intended to discuss this matter with Holley Ye.


    But unexpectedly he ran into Sheryl here.


    "Sher sprained her ankle," Holley Ye exined before Sheryl could open her mouth. She smiled


    indulgently at George Han and said,"Mr. Han, do you really have the heart to force Sher to rehearse


    even after knowing that she got injured?"


    "Sher?" George looked surprised as he repeated after Holley. ''When did she be so close with


    Sheryl?'' he wondered.


    "Is there any problem?" Holley Ye said to George Han as she noticed a bewildered expression on his


    face. She smiled and went on to exin to George,"I just met her here and we had a talk. I like her.


    Now she is my friend."


    Sheryl was taken aback at the sudden im of friendship by Holley. She felt a bit ufortable with


    her shrill yet tender voice. Although she was grateful to Holley Ye, it was too early to acknowledge her


    as a friend.


    Holley Ye''s stic beauty just like a doll. Her voice and the sudden friendly gesture made Sheryl feel


    really weird and ufortable. ''She seems to appear out of nowhere and I don''t even know her


    properly, '' she thought.


    "Let me introduce him to you," Holley Ye smiled at Sheryl, as she pointed at George Han. "This is my


    fiancé, George Han."


    "As it turned out, you are my boss''s future wife," Sheryl remarked with a diplomatic smile. "Please


    forgive me for not being able to recognize you," she apologized in a humble manner.


    "Sher, why are you being so formal with me?" Holley Ye pouted, looking a little displeased. "I don''t have


    an acquaintance here. I thought you regarded me as your friend," sheined with a hurt look.


    Abashed as she was, Sheryl spoke atst,"It''s my honor to be your friend, Miss Ye."


    Holley Ye gave a bright and satisfied smile. She turned to her fiancée, took his hand, and


    pleaded,"George, you see, Sher sprained her ankle. Just let her take two days off. She need some


    rest."


    With an affectionate look at his fiancée, George responded lovingly,"It''s all your call."

    He then turned to Sheryl and said,"Miss Xia, now that you got your ankle injured, you can take rest in


    the hotel till the time you recoverpletely. After that you can get back to work."


    "Mr. Han, I''m fine. I can handle my work," Sheryl said to George Han.
