Chapter 169


    After they returned to the box, the dinner was almost done. The ssmates were chitchatting.


    Madison saw theme back and said more ironically, “You are indeed busy. We are all waiting for


    you two. Emmett is a big boss, but he’s not so busy.”


    Before Sherry retorted her, Emmett chimed in, “I’m not busy usually. I’ve almost given all my jobs to my


    subordinates.”


    As soon as he finished speaking and before Madison understood, another woman burst intoughter.


    Just now, Madison was showing off her husband was an executive manager of a bigpany who was


    always busy and couldn’t go home. However, he was still working for his boss, wasn’t he? Emmett’s


    indifferent answer implied something and they all understood who he was referring to.


    At the table, other people tried hard to hold theirughter as well.


    The purpose that Madison came to this reunion without the invitation was that she wanted to show off


    how rich her husband was.


    Unexpectedly, she didn’t achieve her goal but was retorted.


    Madison was so angry, but Emmett didn’t call her name and referred to her clearly. She couldn’t blow


    up at all but could only suppress her anger.


    After the reunion ended, everyone left gradually.


    Emmett looked over at Ste and Sherry, “I happen to be free now. Please allow me to give you girls a


    ride.”


    Ste smiled politely, “No, thanks. We drove here...”


    Sherry immediately answered, “That’s great. My car was broken down.”


    Ste looked at her in confusion.


    Sherry said solemnly, “Ste, have you forgotten? On the way here, my car broke down from time to


    time. Right right after I parked in the basement parking lot, it couldn’t move.”


    “Howe I didn’t...”


    “You didn’t drive, so you don’t know it certainly.” As she spoke, Sherry dragged Ste towards


    Emmett’s car and said to Emmett, “Thank you so much.”


    Emmett smiled, “You are wee.”


    Sherry pulled the door next to the passenger seat and pressed Ste in, “I’m not very well. I want to sit


    in the backseat alone. Ste, sit here.”


    Ste was speechless.


    She was quite certain about Sherry’s purpose now.


    However, since Emmett was with them, Ste couldn’t make her denial so obvious. She red at


    Sherry in secret and fastened the seat belt.


    Sherry pretended not to see the re. She hummed a song and sat in the backseat.


    Emmett asked, “Where are you living?”


    Sherry answered, “Oh... It doesn’t matter where we live. If you are free tonight, you can give us a


    casual ride. We just had dinner. It’s good for us to hang out for digestion.”


    Ste wasn’t in the mood to expose her lies. Who would digest by sitting in the car?


    She gave Emmett an address and said, “Thank you so much, Emmett.”


    Emmett was a bit surprised, “Do you stay in thatmunity?”


    Sherry suddenly approached, “Are you also staying there coincidentally?”


    She was delighted. Didn’t it mean that Ste had fate with Emmett?


    Emmett shook his head with a smile, “Nah. A friend of mine just came back from abroad. He lives in


    yourmunity as well.”


    Sherry was a bit sorry, “What a pity!”


    After a pause, she asked, “What kind of friend is that? Are you close? Can you always visit him? If you


    are free, you can...”


    Ste covered her mouth and smiled at Emmett apologetically, “Let’s go.”


    After driving for a short while, Emmett received a call. He was informed that something happened in the


    company and he needed to go back.


    He smiled at Sherry apologetically, “I’m sorry, Sherry. I might not be able to give you a casual ride


    today. Probably next time.”


    Sherry also overheard his phone conversation, so she nodded, “No problem. Next time would be fine.”


    As she spoke, Sherry pulled out her business card from the purse and gave it to him, “This is the


    address of our studio. Feel free to drop by.”


    Ste said, “Emmett, you can drop us off at the roadside. We can go home by ourselves.”


    Emmett said, “It’s alright. I’m not in such a hurry. We’ll arrive in yourmunity soon.”


    Seeing that he didn’t aim to stop, Ste didn’t insist. She pressed down the window and looked out of it


    expressionlessly.


    Twenty minutester, the ck Porsche stopped downstairs of their apartment.


    Sherry said, “Emmett, since you are going back to yourpany, we can’t invite you to our apartment


    upstairs. See you around.”


    Emmett nodded with a smile. He looked at Ste, “See you around.”


    After he was gone, Sherry said, “It’s so difficult to find such a good man like Emmett. You must grasp...”


    “Let’s roll.”


    Sherry turned around and followed Ste, “By the way, Ste, I meant it. Please consider him. I can tell


    that Emmett has a crush on you. Probably you can develop with him.”


    Ste pressed the button of the elevator and asked with a smile, “How did you know he has a crush on


    me?”


    “Have you noticed that the way he gazed at you is quite different? He treated you especially tenderly.”


    “I didn’t notice it.”


    Sherry continued, “It’s always that those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outsides. I


    understand that you didn’t notice it.”


    Ste choked up.


    “Have we agreed that we should forget rence Conrad the wretched man and restart? Emmett was


    sent to you from God.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    “But, haven’t you suggested that I should find a yboy and cheat on him? I don’t think Emmett is a


    yboy.”


    It was the first time that Sherry was choked up by her own words spoken before. She stammered, “You


    can’t take what I said when I was drunk so seriously. I just can tell that Emmett is a good man. If you


    could be together with him, you would be the happiest woman in this world.”


    Why they were talking, the door of the elevator was suddenly opened. A tall and strong mixed-raced


    man walked out.


    Sherry paused immediately, gazing at him without a blink.


    After the man was gone, they walked into the elevator. Sherry whispered, “Whoa... Ste, have you


    seen that. He’s so handsome. How lucky we are! We’ve met several handsome men in a row.”


    Ste asked casually, “Several?”


    “Of course. Emmett, the mixed-raced man just now, and r...”


    Mentioning thest man’s name, Sherry coughed and swallowed his name back.


    rence was a wretched man, but he was truly handsome.


    Frankly speaking, Emmett although had changed a lot, his appearance couldn’tpare to rence’s.


    Ste thought for a while and said, “Sherry, after the studio goes smoothly, we should hire another


    designer.”


    Sherry couldn’t understand, “What? Why?”


    Ste exhaled, wondering how she should answer.


    She recalled what rence had said when leaving the VIP lounge earlier. It seemed that he still hadn’t


    let go of her. Ste didn’t know what the wretched man would do to her. She was afraid that Sherry


    would be dragged into a mere. Hence, she wanted to hand the studio to Sherrypletely and


    resigned after the studio went on smoothly.
