Chapter 2044 Changing Attitude


    It only clicked in I''s head that she didn''te here to goof off when she saw the flowers on the


    table.


    The bouquet Sheryl received yesterday was much bigger and prettier than the one in front of her, and


    I heard from Phoebe that someone picked Sheryl upst night.


    There was no proof, but I felt that the bouquet in front of her eyes was sent by the same person from


    Sheryl shook her head before she answered I. She could never hide anything from her friend, so


    she said, "We''re just friends, I."


    "A friend? You''re telling me that you and Damian are just friends?" I asked Sheryl in disbelief, her


    eyes widening with each word.


    "How do you know Damian?" Sheryl blinked perplexedly at I because she didn''t remember ever


    mentioning Damian to I.


    "Tell me the truth. Who''s this guy? What did he promise you to make you forget about Charles?" I


    grinned teasingly at Sheryl.


    There was a light flush on Sheryl''s cheeks because she was a little embarrassed by I''s question, but


    she also knew that she had no choice but tell I the truth. There was no way I would stop bothering


    her until she got the answer she wanted.


    In short order, Sheryl told I what happened between her and Damian the previous night.


    Once Sheryl finished exining, I nodded in satisfaction and said, "So… what do you think about


    him? How about dating him?"


    "What are you talking about, I?! We''re just friends! You''re thinking too much."


    "I''m thinking too much?" I squinted at Sheryl and asked tly.


    Sheryl rolled her eyes at I and raised her hands in surrender and said, "Fine, whatever you say is


    true. I''ll do whatever you say. Are you happy now?"


    "Promise?"


    I pressed Sheryl before saying, "I think Damian is a good man. It won''t hurt if you try hanging out


    with him…"


    They had never even met, but I was already telling Sheryl how good Damian was. Sheryl wondered


    whether Damian had "bribed" I.


    "Alright, I, that''s enough. Go back to work." Sheryl prompted I to leave her office.


    If it wasn''t because she might be interrupting Sheryl''s work, I wouldn''t have left.


    Once she was alone, Sheryl looked at the presents sent by Damian and got lost in her thoughts.


    Each present was catered to suit rk and Shirley''s tastes, and Sheryl was sure that the kids would


    love them. The more she looked at the presents, the more upset she became, and she didn''t know


    what she should do.

    The moment Sheryl and I got off work and headed outside, Damian was already waiting for Sheryl.


    I was the first to notice because he was so handsome that I couldn''t help but lock her gaze on


    him.


    The first thing Sheryl did was to try and hide as much as possible so that Damian wouldn''t find her. She


    didn''t want to make a big scene, especially with I besides her.


    She ducked her head and stooped down behind I.


    I waited until an awkward Sheryl managed to sneak out a side door before she approached Damian.


    Damian had been waiting at the entrance for Sheryl since she got off work because he was afraid that


    he would interrupt Sheryl''s work if he went up to her office.


    None of his efforts paid off because the woman he was waiting for didn''t show up.


    When he saw a woman walk up to him, he gave her a polite but confused smile and asked, "I''m sorry?


    I don''t think I know you."


    "Are you waiting for Sher?" After she dragged her eyes from his head down to his toes, I had to


    concede that the man looked like perfection.


    "Oh, hi. I''m Damian. It''s nice to meet you. Are you Sheryl''s friend?" Judging from the way she called


    Sheryl, she must be a rather close friend, so he smiled brighter at I and introduced himself.


    "Nice to meet you too. I''m Sheryl''s friend, I. Why didn''t youe up to the office?" I asked, her


    brows knitted in confusion.


    Damian was startled, but he smiled once more before he answered, "It was still working hours. I didn''t


    want to interrupt her with something that isn''t urgent."


    "Oh, I see. Not something very urgent," I mockingly repeated Damian''s words, her voice pitched


    high.


    "Well… I just wanted to invite her to have dinner with me." Damian flushed a little at the teasing.


    "Oh, may I ask where you''re from? And what''s your job?" I sted Damian with a barrage of


    questions, and she didn''t give him room to even ask where Sheryl went.


    To her great surprise, Damian was very patient and answered her questions one by one, "Actually, I


    just came back from abroad. I''m a painter…"


    It was a pity that Sheryl didn''t like hanging out with Damian because I got the impression that they


    would be a perfect match after her chat with him.


    "Ms. Zhao, may I ask where Sheryl is? Did she get off work?" They had chatted for a long time, and


    Damian couldn''t stop himself from anxiously asking I, who had obviously already gotten off work.


    That gave I pause because she just remembered that Sheryl ran away using the side door. "Um,


    well, she… She went to see a client," she stammered.


    "Really? That''s a pity. I guess I''ll just visit her another day. I should be leaving now. Nice chatting with


    you, I." It was hard to hide the disappointment he felt when all his energy suddenly felt drained from


    him now that he knew he wouldn''t see Sheryl.


    I suddenly felt guilty and regretful when Damian got into his car. She felt like she should have asked


    Damian to stay and somehow set him up with Sheryl.


    But it was already toote, and, besides, she couldn''t make that decision for Sheryl. She needed to


    respect Sheryl''s opinion.


    She waved as Damian drove away, and once he was out of sight, I took her phone out and called


    Sheryl.


    Sheryl took a quick nce around her to make sure no one was watching her before she picked up the


    call, her heart had tightened when she saw that it was I''s number.


    "Hello?"


    "Sheryl, Damian is amazing!"


    The amount of excitement on the other end of the call was too much, and Sheryl couldn''t help but


    wonder what Damian had done to I to make her sound like that.


    "Your attitude changed too fast, I!" Not long ago, I had made fun of Sheryl and Damian, but now


    she was getting ready to set them up. Sheryl was just speechless at her friend and could only shake


    her head.


    "But he''s so perfect, Sheryl! Men like him don''t exist in the world anymore," I said to Sheryl.


    "So? We''re still just friends, I."


    There were no other words Sheryl could say. I made it sound like Sheryl would throw away the


    entire universe if she didn''t take Damian.


    "Sheryl, you know what I''m saying. I mean, he sent you flowers and presents, and he even waited for


    you to get off work. Now you''re telling me you''re just friends? No one''s buying that, okay?!" I said


    point-nk.
