Chapter 850 Alright I Will Leave


    The easy money from Mr. Bian was good news to the receptionist. She subtly rejoiced, knowing that


    the money was more than enough to squander, and there was no need for her to work as hard as her


    other colleagues to make a living.


    The change was rather difficult to get used to, but as time went by, she began to get used to the


    This easy andfortable life she had just gotten ustomed to after all this time, however, was


    interrupted by a certain woman.


    "What on earth do you want?" the receptionist questioned Sheryl furiously as if she could make her


    melt with a mere fiery re. There weren''t any other ways to dodge the trouble Sheryl brought, so she


    figured she should deal with it right there and then.


    "I could ask you the same thing. What do you want?" Sheryl threw the question back at her. "If you


    leave this ce now and promise to stay away, I''ll let you off and pretend you were never here in the


    first ce. I don''t know, and I don''t want to know what''s going on between you and Mr. Bian, but if you


    don''t take this good chance I''m giving you right now, I''ll have no choice but to bring this up to Mrs. Bian.


    I can assure you, the next person who you''ll have to answer to won''t be as nice as me. By then... do


    you really think that Mr. Bian will spare any effort to protect you, a liability? You don''t think he''ll kick you


    away as soon as he can?"


    When the receptionist heard Sheryl''s threatening words, her face darkened with concern.


    She was well aware that Mr. Bian would not have ended up as who he was at present without the loyal


    support and help from Mrs. Bian''s family.


    The receptionist wasn''tpletely foolish. If he was ever even suspected to be disloyal to his wife


    because of her, she knew she''d be canned on the spot without warning. After all, what was she to him,


    put under a spotlight, she would be the one to suffer.


    Mr. Bian had let the rtionshipst as long as it did because she was more clever than most when it


    came to knowing her boundaries. She knew what she should and shouldn''t do, how she should


    behave, and what lines she shouldn''t cross.


    When Mr. Bian needed her close, she was attached to him as the perfect little kitten. When he needed


    his space, she was well capable of making herself scarce and keeping a safe distance from him.


    It was almost a talent in his eyes, and this quality of hers was what won her his affections.


    At that moment, however, it seemed that she had no chance of escaping from Mrs. Bian''s suspicions if


    she ignored Sheryl''s advice. If Mr. Bian found out that she revealed her existence to Mrs. Bian, any


    little affection he had for her would be wiped away in an instant, and he would show no mercy, no


    matter how many years they had shared together. If she was thrown away, how would she find another


    sugar daddy as good as Mr. Bian, who was as generous as they came?


    Weighing the possible oues of the options she had before her, she knew she had to give in. With a


    reluctant nod, she agreed to Sheryl''s offer, "Alright, I will leave right away."


    Sheryl smiled in satisfaction. "Smart move.


    You should go now." After the whole episode, Sheryl was led by I into the room by her hand. She


    handed the freshly bought desserts to Suse. "Can you do me a favor and share these to everyone,


    please?"


    "Sure, no problem." Suse simply nodded. After all the cakes were distributed, Suse couldn''t push away


    her curiosity. She had to ask what had happened to Sheryl. After practically bursting into I''s office,


    she immediately asked, "Autumn, what happened to you? You were gone for three years. Why?"


    "Suse, I''m back now. Oh, by the way, call me Sheryl instead of Autumn, alright?" she replied with a


    warm grin. "Suse, I didn''t expect that you would be still in thepany."


    "Oh please don''t," Suse interrupted, her eyes turning ssy with tears threatening to fall. "When you


    left, I cried for what seemed like forever. I prayed for you every day. I hoped to see you safe and back


    with us again. I was so worried, I could barely do my work properly. Luckily, I was there. She helped


    me get on with things. And now after all that time... you''re here! You just appeared again. I''m really d


    you''re back, Sheryl. What happened to you? Everyone was saying you were dead."


    Sheryl tried to smile, albeit bitterly. "It''s a really long story…" She then gave Suse a short rundown of all


    that happened to her, and it wasn''t enough to exin everything. Even with the summary of the past


    three years, though, Suse was stunned by all the miseries Sheryl had suffered, and she couldn''t help


    but let the tears fall.


    "Oh no… why are you crying?" Sheryl asked, feeling somewhat helpless.


    "I just feel sorry for all that has happened to you. I can''t even believe… It must have been terribly


    difficult," she said in between sobs.


    "It''s all in the past, Suse. Let''s keep it there, yeah?" she consoled her friend. "Look at me. I''m perfectly


    fine now. You don''t have to worry so much about me."


    Then, they heard a sigh from someone. "In the end, she''s still really all yours," Iined in her


    jealousy. "She''s been working under me for three whole years, and she didn''t cry even once. This is the


    first time I''m seeing her shed any tears, and they''re all for you, Sheryl."


    "I…" Sensing I''s discontent in her words, Suse felt embarrassment creeping up her cheeks.


    Afraid that she had offended I, Suse hurried to exin herself, "Please don''t get me wrong. I really,


    truly appreciate everything you''ve done for me when things were tough. It''s just that... I mean Sheryl..."


    She trailed off when Sheryl began tough. Suse''s reaction was hrious, she thought. "Suse, you''ve


    always been a clever girl. You''ve been in this industry for quite some time. Can''t you tell when a


    superior is just kidding?"


    Darting a short nce at I, she saw that she was also holding in augh. Suse sighed in relief.


    "She is a clever girl indeed, especially when she crafts ns and negotiates on tables. I have to admit,


    sometimes even I have to learn from her. Outside of work, though, she''s still got a long way to go," I


    praised Suse with a smile on her face. "I was so lucky to have her working with me while you were


    away. She gave me a great deal of support. Without her, I wouldn''t have survived the heavy workload."


    "I, I''m ttered. You don''t have to say that," Suse said, feeling much more rxed, enough to even


    crack a joke. "You''ve given me such a high rank and sry. I have to do the work its worth, right? If I


    don''t contribute enough, it''s better for me to just pack my stuff and leave. Otherwise, it''s a shame for


    both of us."


    "Ok, now I know you''re kidding." I smiled and kindly sent her back to work. "Suse, you can return to


    your desk and get back to work now. I need to settle something with Sheryl."


    "Alright then." She nodded in agreement. "Sheryl, I''ll be off now. I''ll see you again soon, okay?"


    "Of course," Sheryl smiled and bid her goodbye. When she was out of reach, she said to I, "I didn''t


    expect her to be someone who can handle things so well. Three years ago she seemed so naive.


    You''ve really made an impression on her."


    "Well, this isn''t the only thing that''ll surprise you." I smiled coyly. "A number of people came in and


    left. Many of the old faces were reced. Most of those who have chosen to stay are either sticking to


    their own work and doing an average job, just muddling along, or trying to take advantage of the


    that desire to genuinely devote herself to thepany so it can change for the better. That''s why I


    want her to have all the opportunities to experience and grow."


    I kept smiling as she continuedplimenting her dear mentee. "Suse is now someone who can


    aplishplex tasks on her own. I''ve heard a lot of positivements from our customers. She


    has truly done an amazing job."


    "Thanks to your coaching." Sheryl showed her sincere appreciation. "She wouldn''t have been who she


    is today without all your help." Sheryl knew it was a monumental task to teach a girl from knowing


    almost nothing to pretty much everything with regards to work.


    "I," she suddenly called her name.


    I raised her face gently, with the sunlight shining on her face. It was such a familiar sight that


    seemed far away, but in reality, it was only from three years before the very moment. There didn''t seem


    to be any big changes over time. It gave Sheryl the urge to recollect all the memories she had from that


    time. Life seemed so pure and sweet back then.


    "Why, Sheryl?" I was a bit puzzled. Sheryl looked like she was in a kind of daze, and she couldn''t tell


    what was going on in her head.


    "Thank you, I. Really." Sheryl genuinely appreciated I for saving Cloud Advertising Company from


    its declining situation. Its healthy development it was enjoying at present wouldn''t have been possible


    without I''s help. Her decisiveness made her a good shot for making the tough choices that were life


    and death for thepany.


    And no one but Sheryl knew better of I''s financial capabilities. In fact, the sry that thepany


    could offer her was nowhere near enough for all that she did. She could''ve stayed at home and


    devoted herself to being a housewife, taking care of her husband and child, as she was inherently


    blessed with such an opportunity to enjoy a light-hearted life.


    If not for Sheryl, who wished to have thepany prosper, why else would she join? Taking up such a


    job was not a fun activity after all. It was exhausting.


    "Hey, what are you saying?" I was ttered. She could feel the blush creeping up her cheeks as she


    realized how highly Sheryl thought of her, and how much she recognized and admired her work.


    Feeling flushed made her divert the topic of conversation to something else. "Do you think that I''m here


    just for you? Come on, did you forget about the promise you made to me regarding the share of the


    owed."


    "Of course, I will keep my promise. You''ll receive a great percentage of financial benefit in return,"


    promised Sheryl. She knew that I had reminded her simply to shift her attention, and assure her that


    she shouldn''t feel guilty in any sense. Their strong friendship put her at awe. How could she ever truly


    repay her? It would take a long time to really find out.


    "Oh! I have something to show you. Come with me." I suddenly remembered and stood up, ready to


    lead Sheryl somewhere else. What kind of surprise would it be?
