Chapter 902 Proposal
Sheryl was stunned at Cary''s words. "You know Charles?"
"Yes," Cary affirmed. "We''ve been friends for a long time, and rivals for just as much. I even attended
your wedding with him. You probably don''t remember me, but I remember you."
He put on a smile that seemed meaningful and continued, "I''ve also heard that he found his missing
wife, but I didn''t get the chance to ask him about it."
Though Cary wasn''t much of an expert in this area and didn''t know exactly how long it would take to
craft a n, he did have a rough estimate of it.
Sheryl''s promise was too good to be true. ''She''s either over confident or… she''s capable of finishing it
so fast, '' Cary thought. ''I just hope that thetter is true.''
Though she was surprised to be recognized by Charles'' friend, Sheryl didn''t want to waste more time
talking about her past and identity. She wanted to be recognized because of her own abilities, not just
by the title of Charles'' wife.
Sheryl was Sheryl, a powerful woman, definitely no subordinate to anyone else.
"Mr. Su." Sheryl switched the topic back to business. "If there''s nothing more you want to add, I''ll start
my work now. Do remember to check your mailbox tomorrow morning."
"Alright." Cary nodded. "But I have to remind you. Though I have a close rtionship with Charles, this
doesn''t mean that I will lower my standard for you. It''s an important event for me and I''m determined to
make it perfect. If your proposal fails to impress me, I''m sorry but I''ll have no choice but to reject your
n."
"Rest assured, Mr. Su," Sheryl asserted firmly. "I don''t want any special treatment from you either. This
is my work and it has nothing to do with Charles."
"Good to hear that," he acknowledged with an approving nod.
After she excused herself, Sheryl left the office, and I, who had been waiting outside the door all the
while, was anxious to know the oue. "So Sher, how is it? Did he intentionally make it difficult for
you?"
"No," Sherly answered. She put on a face full of determination and said, "Mr. Su likes our idea. Now we
have to go back to rush working. Tomorrow morning is the deadline. Let''s go, now!" She pped her
hands once in emphasis.
"Really?" Both I and Dillon were caught off guard by her answer.
Dillon knew better than anyone else how stringent his boss was, yet he epted Sheryl''s idea so
easily. ''How incredible!'' he thought. ''Sheryl must have some kind of magic powers of persuasion to
have made it happen.'' He was so excited that his troublesome work wasing to an end.
I was delighted to hear that Sheryl had convinced Cary to consider her n. With all the pride and
encouragement of a friend, she said, "I knew you could do it!"
As I stared into Sheryl''s eyes that were brimming with determination and excitement, she saw
Autumn, who was exactly as energetic and shiny as Sheryl in that moment. I was d to see that
her old friend was truly back.
Wearing a big grin, I turned to Dillon. "I guess we need to leave now, Dillon. If there''s anything else
you need, just give me a call."
"Okay, okay, okay…" He kept nodding. The wine party that he had been stressing over for so long was
finally almosting to an end. He heaved out a sigh with relief, as if a massive weight on his chest
were suddenly lifted.
Anyone could see in Sheryl''s demeanor that she was excited and eager to work. She wanted to head
back to thepany immediately, but I suggested otherwise. "Sheryl, it''s meal time now. Let''s find
somewhere to eat first."

"No, please. The time frame is really tight. I can''t wait anymore. I promised to finish by tomorrow
morning. We should hurry to work," Sheryl declined.
"Sher, listen to me." I stopped her workaholic friend for a moment. "No matter how urgent it is, you
have to eat first. Your health should be the priority. Moreover, you''re not working alone. I''ll assist you
with the proposal every step of the way. We can do it together after eating."
After some hesitation, she finally agreed to take a little break.
They picked a random restaurant, ordered two dishes, and as they waited, I brought up the long-
standing issue she was having regarding Sheryl''s return to her official position. "Sher, with regards to
the matter about youing back to work… Have you thought about it?"
Afraid that the question would be answered with a firm and direct "no", she quickly tried to rephrase
herself, "Don''t worry, I just feel that you enjoy the work. If youe back, you will have more
opportunities to engage in this kind of work. That''s why I''m asking."
"Even if you don''t ask me now, I''m nning to discuss this with you," Sheryl simply replied with a grin.
"Today I was in BM Corporation and submitted my resignation form. However… they haven''t really
agreed to let me go."
The answer caught I in excitement. Sheryl had been hedging on this issue since the first time she
asked, and finally there was a positive reply from Sheryl, although it hadn''t yet been confirmed.
"Haven''t agreed?" I frowned as she heard the statement and suggested, "Come on. let''s get this
over with via the court. We''re not short on money anyway. We''re short of you. We can settle this."
"It''s not up to that point," Sheryl replied helplessly. "I n to wait a little. After this case is closed, I still
have a business trip. When Ie back, I''ll talk to them again to have everything settled."
I was d to see that Sheryl still considered resigning even she faced some obstacles. Feeling a bit
worried, she continued reassuring Sheryl, "You don''t have to worry about money. Ourpany is able
to afford it with no problem. If there is anything else I can help with, do call me. I''ll do my best to
support you."
"Alright. Thank you." A sly grin popped up on Sheryl''s face and she asserted, "Don''t worry, I will
definitely seek your help."
After a quick meal, the two rushed back to the office to take care of the proposal. Sheryl had already
brainstormed some ideas as they were eating, so they wouldn''t get stuck on the idea stage. Because
I was around helping her, the two went about their work rather smoothly. At around two in the
morning, Sheryl finally put her pen down.
"We''re done…" Sheryl announced as she yawned and stretched her arms. "It''s been so long since I
worked thiste," Sheryl said.
"Yeah, same for me," I agreed. After Sheryl emailed Cary their work, I stood up and stretched her
body with ease. "Shall we eat something now?"
"No, I don''t want to," Sherly refused, too tired to even find a ce to eat. "It''s sote now, let''s just go
back and rest."
"Alright, then let me drive you back," I offered. This time, Sheryl didn''t refuse.
When Sheryl got home, she took a quick shower and fell asleep immediately.
She didn''t set an rm for herself so she could enjoy some sweet dreams. It was Holley''s phone call
that woke her up. "Sher, it''s time. Remember to pack your stuff ande to thepany tomorrow
morning."
"Alright," she agreed sleepily.
After putting down the call that woke her up, she put the phone away and tried going revisiting her
dreams but even as she rolled around in bed for some time, she couldn''t fall asleep.
She decided to get up instead with a weary body. As she walked down the stairs, she saw Amy
keeping herself busy in the kitchen. The appetizing scent from what Amy was preparing drifted into her
nose.
"Hmm… it smells so nice." Following the fragrant smell, Sheryl found her way to the source. Amy saw
her granddaughter arrive and with an amiable smile, happily said, "This morning, I bought a fat chicken
and cooked some chicken soup for Sue. Don''t forget the ginseng from Charles, okay? Please hand
them to Sue for me."
Upon hearing this, Sheryl was a little reluctant. She was more than willing to give them to Sue, of
course, but it was a bitplicated. Sue was no longer living alone, now.
She wouldn''t be able to avoid seeing Laura if she was going to visit Sue. If she met Laura…
After more careful consideration, Sheryl still decided to push aside her worries and visit Sue. In the
end, she simply nodded and agreed.
