Chapter 1080 Be A Laughingstock


    "I don''t mean that you can''t use that room. If you really want it, you can have it after Sher and I move


    out. However, she has been very busy recently. She needs to go to the office this afternoon to continue


    working on her project. So..." Charles exined carefully as he looked at Melissa. He didn''t want his


    mother to feel ufortable.


    "I see. Turns out it''s your bedroom now. That''s okay. I don''t want to trouble you and Sheryl. Since you


    seem to like that room, you can just continue to use it," Melissa beamed like a good mother. Since


    Charles had already settled there, she thought that he''d be inconvenienced if she insisted on getting


    that room back.


    Capturing a hint of fleeting disappointment in her eyes, Charles felt bad for his mother. So he


    suggested, "If you really want that room, how about moving in there after Sher gets back from work?


    We will pack our stuff when she gets back, and move to the room next to it."


    "Charles, there is no need. I don''t mind which room I stay. I yearn for nothing as long as you are good. I


    only wanted to stay in that room because of your father. He..." She feigned to refuse Charles'' offer. She


    knew pretending to be weak could arouse his sympathy. She had to rack her brains for a n to get


    him to side with her.


    Charles stared at his mother who seemed to be lost in thoughts. He was hesitant to give in until she


    mentioned his father. Now he made up his mind to give that room to his mother. With an attentive look,


    he said earnestly, "Mom, I know you and Dad had many remarkable memories in that room. So let me


    handle everything. Let''s eat first."


    "Fine. I am so d to hear that. Now that you said so, how can I refuse?" Melissa responded in a


    doting manner.


    "Umm. The food is getting cold. Please eat,"


    Charles said as he smiled in relief.


    ''Mom just got out, so it''s going to take a while before she fits in. I need to be patient and spend more


    time so we can get to know each other. Things will be better, '' he told himself.


    After he had persuaded Melissa, he looked at Sheryl. She was quietly eating while they were


    discussing. Knowing what was on his mind when their eyes met, Sheryl shook her head with a smile,


    quietly telling him that she was okay with his arrangement.


    However, somehow she had a vibe that Charles'' mother was hostile towards her. She even doubted


    herself and thought she was just being paranoid. But her instincts told her that something was wrong


    with her mother-inw.


    Even though she suspected Melissa, she didn''t have much time to specte what thetter was up to.


    Since she needed to go to the office to work out that project, she decided to finish her meal quickly.


    It could not be counted as a pleasant meal. As far as Sheryl was concerned, the atmosphere was


    embarrassing during the lunch.


    The years of separation between Charles and Melissa had them grow apart, so they didn''t have much


    to talk about.


    They had their own thoughts. As they were reserved, they barely chatted with one another. As a result,


    a tensed and awkward air enveloped the whole dining room the entire time.


    After lunch, Sheryl stood up to leave and head to her office. Charles immediately offered to drive her


    there, but she refused. "Stay at home and keep Mompany, honey. I can handle myself."


    Charles eyed Melissa sitting next to him and didn''t insist anymore.


    Melissa was oblivious of her son''s feelings. She was deeply engaged in her thoughts. ''How can I get


    them to sleep in separate bedrooms without displeasing my son?'' It was one of her ns to turn the

    couple against each other.


    If this scheme failed, she would need to go for another idea.


    She decided to wait and watch until tonight.


    Meanwhile, Sheryl arrived at Cloud Advertising Company. As she emerged into her office, she found


    I pacing back and forth anxiously. "What''s up, I?" she asked as she walked across the room.


    "Sher, you are finally here!" I eximed, focusing her keen gaze on her boss as if she had seen the


    "One of our big clients was here. I believe you are working on their case. The man in charge from that


    "Seriously? What''s going on? I thought we agreed to show the preliminary presentation to them the day


    after tomorrow. Why did theye here today?" Sheryl threw several questions in one breath, her


    mouth agape. She had never met such a client before. ''They sent people to see the scheme before the


    agreed time. What a speechless situation!'' she wondered.


    "I was surprised as well, but they are our client. Besides, they traveled a long way just to check on your


    progress so I had no choice but to show him your first draft. Guess what he said after he read it?" I


    raised her voice intentionally when she came to the end.


    "What did he say?" Sheryl asked curiously. "He said it was the worst scheme he ever saw.


    He even said he didn''t know how you fooled others and obtained your reputation," I replied frankly.


    She initially decided to keep this feedback from Sheryl. But after some consideration, she thought


    Sheryl should know it.


    Thatpany first appointed Sheryl to do the nning, but they criticized her work. She suspected


    their intention.


    Thinking of that, I got uneasy. "Did you mess with anyone recently, Sheryl? Did they do this to put


    you down deliberately?" I blurted out her concerns.


    As soon as she spoke about it, she ruled out this possibility. It was widely known that Sheryl was the


    wife of Charles, the CEO of Shining Company.


    She didn''t think anyone had the guts to cross Charles.


    "How could he say that my n sucks?" Sheryl snapped furiously. She worked overtime these days for


    the scheme. She had put much effort in this case. Even though she couldn''t brag that her scheme was


    perfect, she couldn''t allow others to criticize her work like that.


    "What else did he say before he left?" she asked as sheposed herself.


    "He said he wanted to terminate our partnership and they would work with anotherpany," I


    answered with a dejected expression.


    "Find out the phone number of that person in charge of this case. I will meet him in person. I will ask


    him why he was dissatisfied with my n and why he rejected my n before I even finished it."


    Sheryl never messed with others unless she was provoked. This time, thatpany humiliated her


    If she just let it go, Cloud Advertising Company would be aughingstock in the industry.
