Chapter 725 She Is Not An Outsider
"Sue''s fine. She''s getting better. I think she will be able to walk in a while," replied Holley with a soft
smile. Staring at Sheryl, Holley then asked, "How are you these days? What''s up with you? Have you
adjusted to working in the Shining Company?"
Before Sheryl could reply, she went on to continue, "Don''t worry. I have punished Kitty and Tammy. If
this happens next time, just tell me. I will handle it. You don''t have to trouble Mr. Lu. I will help you to
deal with it."
After hearing this, Sheryl felt uneasy. She nced at Holley and said, "Miss Ye, it is not as you think.
Please don''t misunderstand me."
"I know. I know you," responded Holley. She grinned and continued, "Don''t worry. I won''t poke my nose
into your private affair. But..." Holley paused for a while and finally said, "I can''t allow thepany''s
interests to bepromised. Charles fired two models. Do you know how much money thepany
has lost because of this?"
Though Holley wore a smile face, her words wereced with sharpness. "I just want to remind you to
be careful before doing any such thing the next time."
"Miss Ye, I have something to discuss with you." ncing nervously at Holley, Sheryl hesitated for a
few seconds and finally said, "In fact, I think it is not appropriate for me to work at Shining Company
anymore. What do you think? I need your opinion on this matter."
"Why?" asked Holley with a frown. "Are you angry about what I just said?" added Holley.
"No, no. Of course not," replied Sheryl while shaking her head. She looked at Holley and exined,
"Actually I have mentioned it earlier to you. I told you that I didn''t want to go there, but you declined my
request. Now I am also responsible for whatever has happened."
Shery looked at Holley with unseeing eyes and then stopped for a while. "I have thought about this for
quite a long time. I think I can''t go to Shining Company anymore but I am afraid ourpany will suffer
even greater losses. Miss Ye, please arrange to send other models to Shining Company."
"Sheryl, you are really very simple-minded," said Holley. She gazed at Sheryl and then asked in a
rather casual yet cold voice, "Sheryl, do you really believe everything will be solved if you stop working
at Shining Company? You are wrong."
"What do you mean, Miss Ye?" asked Sheryl with confusion.
"Well, since you don''t understand, I will have to be brutally frank with you." Saying this, Holley sneered
and went on, "Charles said he didn''t care about any other model as long as you were willing to go to
hispany and work there."
"What? Are you serious? You must be kidding." Sheryl was taken aback by Holley''s words. She hastily
asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean..." Holley hesitated to find the right words. A few secondster, she said, "He came to our
for you. If you quit at this time, then I am sure he will end the contract with ourpany. So don''t say
this again. If you quit at this key moment, ourpany will really suffer huge losses."
Sheryl was stunnedpletely by Holley''s revtion.
She had never figured out Charles'' real intentions and she was very surprised when Holley told her the
fact.
Sheryl just felt that she was surrounded by conspiracy. Quietly she left Holley and went to Shining
Company. She directly went to Charles'' office instead of the training hall.
All the employees in Shining Company were clear about Sheryl''s importance to Charles, so no one
dared stop her. Sheryl walked in directly but stopped when she saw Archer and Judith sitting there in
an aggressive posture.
Seeing this, Sheryl turned to go back.
"Miss Xia, wait." David rushed up to her and tried to stop her. However, Charles waved his hands at
him and winked. David soon walked out and Charles said softly to her, "Didn''t I tell you to take a break
and rest at home? What brings you here, Sheryl?"
"I have got something to ask you," replied Sheryl, her eyebrows furrowed. Saying this, she nced at
Archer and Judith and then added, "Well, I willeter as you have guests now."
"Is this the way you discipline your employees, Mr. Lu?" Archer asked sarcastically. He smiled grimly at
Charles and then went on to add, "We are talking about business, but your employee just walked in
without permission. You didn''t even scold her. What if we were talking about some business secret?
What if this woman heard and then revealed the secret? In this way, I am afraid ourpany would
suffer great losses. What do you think of this behavior, Mr. Lu?"
Hearing this, Sheryl frowned slightly and then said in an apologetic tone, "I am sorry, Mr. Lu. I didn''t
mean to intrude. Please continue with your meeting. I will leave right away."
She was about to leave as she finished her sentence. "Wait!" said Charles. He leaned on the couch,
looking at Sheryl. Though Archer and Judith were sitting across him in an aggressive manner, Charles
looked rxed.
He stopped Sheryl, walked up to her, held Sheryl by her hand and brought her to sit beside him. "She
is not an outsider. There is nothing to hide from her."
Hearing this, Sheryl was moved and blushed.
"Well, then who is she?" asked Judith viciously. Judith red at Sheryl as if she were her rival in love.
She then stood up and looked at Sheryl with piercing eyes as if trying to find out all information of
Sheryl. Sheryl was inly but neatly dressed. She wore no famous brands.
But Judith could tell from Charles'' eyes that this woman was important to him and that was why Judith
was not convinced by her external looks.
Judith came from a reputed and powerful family. She was not willing to lose to the woman in front of
her.
Although Sheryl was agreeable to temporarily postponing her talk with Charles, she was determined to
talk to himter. ncing at him, Sheryl stood and said calmly yet politely, "Mr. Lu, I am not going to
bother you right now. You are busy with your business. We can talkter."
"Sheryl, I have said that there is no need for you to leave. You are not an outsider. Remember that."
Saying this, he then held her hand tightly and continued, "You are not the person who should get out."
"What do you mean, Mr. Lu?" asked Archer in an unfriendly tone. He derisively thought he had never
met such an arrogant man before. ''I am his elder, but he does not show any respect to me. This is
ridiculous!'' Archer thought to himself.
Heughed scornfully and then continued, "Do you mean to say that I am the person who should get
out of here?"
"Maybe," Charles replied. He looked at Archer and replied indifferently, "I still don''t understand what
else I have to talk to you about. We are both clear about why you came here today, right?"

Archer''s face turned pale with rage as he heard this from Charles. ring at him, Archer replied
indignantly, "Charles Lu, you better not be so arrogant. I am older than you, but you did not show any
respect to me. You are looking down your nose at me."
"Did you say that I should respect elders?" asked Charles in a cold tone. He helped Sheryl sit down on
the couch and continued, "You better figure out how to be a respectable elder first or I am afraid that
you don''t deserve to say these things to me."
"You..." stuttered Archer. He was too furious to utter a single word, but he also understood that Charles
was telling the truth. Archer knew that he too had been very rude to him.
After a small pause, he responded, "Charles, I have to admit that I was wrong. I shouldn''t have
schemed against you with Anthony. But, I..."
Sheryl furrowed her eyebrows as she heard Anthony''s name. Charles told her to stay here so she
obeyed. But now that she found Anthony was also involved in this matter, she nced at Archer.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, Sheryl found Judith staring at her. She was looking at her intently,
her eyes filled with anger.
