Chapter 969 Your Work State


    Sheryl was dumbfounded after she heard Charles'' exnation. She had never thought that the


    decision to fire Marcus had more story to it. She wore a wry smile and tried to convince Charles,


    "However, no matter how it was, Marcus did nothing wrong. If you dismissed him, it might ruin his life."


    Charles replied with a stern face, "If his wife wasn''t so greedy, he wouldn''t have suffered such a serious


    consequence. Marcus has chosen such a mean and wicked woman as his wife and tolerated her


    wrongdoings all the time, so he has to take full responsibility of its consequences."


    He stared at Sheryl and continued, "Sher, no one in the world should blindly tolerate another person''s


    offence. Since he allowed it, he had to pay its price. Even if I don''t punish him today, there would be


    someone who would give him a lesson in the future. Do you understand?"


    He held Sheryl''s hands gently andforted her, "All right, don''t be angry. If our rtionship gets


    influenced by others, it is not worth it."


    "But..." Sheryl wanted to say something, but Charles interrupted her with a warm smile. He then


    skipped to the next topic. "Tell me, what on earth happened today? You always drive cautiously. How


    did your car collide with another car?"


    Thinking about the car crash, she got reminded of the other car that sneakily followed her before the


    ident. She frowned slightly as she informed Charles of the incident. "I don''t know why, but I always


    feel that someone had been following me recently."


    "Are you telling me you''re being tailed on?" Charles was shocked. He never heard this news from any


    of the bodyguards he hired to protect Sheryl. "What happened?"


    "I don''t know exactly." Sheryl shook her head and looked straight at Charles. "I am not sure if it was just


    my imagination. There was a car that seemed to be following me the entire day. I intentionally drove


    around the city to get rid of it, but it continued to tail on me for some time. As I was trying to drive away


    from it, I didn''t see another car up front so I identally hit it. Later on, I found out that the car who had


    been following me had already taken off."


    "So do you still think you''re imagining things?" Charles tried to conceal his worries as heforted


    Sheryl. However, his brows arched as he thought about it, ''I will find it out, but I didn''t want Sheryl to


    worry about it at all.''


    "Nope." Sheryl shook her head firmly and confirmed, "I am definitely sure that someone was monitoring


    me. I took a detour on purpose, but his car continued to run behind me the entire time. It didn''t leave


    me alone until I got in a car crash. So I''m sure I was being tailed on by someone."


    "All right, don''t worry about it." Charles frowned as a worrisome expression shed across his face.


    Though he probably had an idea on who it was, he pretended that he knew nothing. "Don''t worry about


    it.


    Take a bath and have a good rest tonight. I will deal with it." He held her close and kissed her gently on


    the forehead. "Okay." Sheryl nodded.


    The next morning, Sheryl got up early for work. Out of concern for his wife, Charles tried to convince


    her into staying at home that day. "Sher, I''m sure you got terrified by the car ident yesterday. Why


    don''t you take this day off so you can take a good rest at home?"


    "I can''t." She shook her head a little as she declined his advice. "Recently, I''ve been swamped by the


    Don''t worry, Charles. I''d be fine." "Then I would arrange a chauffeur to drive you to thepany." After


    the car ident, Charles absolutely couldn''t feel at ease to see Sheryl drive herself to work, so he


    made sure to find an experienced chauffeur for her overnight. "Your car was sent to the garage," he


    exined. "I''ve found a chauffeur for you. He will be in charge of driving you to work and then picking


    you up at the end of the day. If you have any problems, just tell him."


    "Okay." Sheryl epted. ''If I declined the chauffeur, Charles would worry about me all the time. I


    should ept his arrangement so he would be at ease, '' she thought.


    Once Sheryl stepped in the office, I rushed to hold her hands and started to check on her carefully.


    "Sher, are you alright? I''ve heard that you got a car ident yesterday. Did you get hurt?"


    "I''m fine." She greeted I with a warm smile and said, "Look at me. Do I look like an injured person to


    you?"


    Looking at Sheryl in good state, I finally sighed in relief and started toin vaguely, "You always


    make me worry for you. I''m really not sure why you seem to attract all horrible things."


    Sheryl responded with an innocent smile, "I never really wished any unpleasant things to happen, but I


    couldn''t get rid of them all."


    I felt worried with her response. "Since you just survived a car ident, what are you doing here


    back at work?


    Go home and take a rest." "Nope, I''m fine. We have lots of projects recently. Even if I stay home, I


    would end up worrying about these projects so I would rather be here than at home resting," she


    reasoned out.


    "Well, I have no time to chat now. I have a lot to finish. We still need to arrange the meeting ceter."


    Sheryl went back to her office quickly.


    I took a sigh hopelessly as she watched her walk away, and then she gave Charles a call. "Take it


    easy. I would look after her for you."


    It was almost lunchtime, but Sheryl was still immersed in her projects. She got startled when she heard


    a knock from her door and I peaked from outside. "As you fortunately escaped death in that car


    ident yesterday, did you n to starve yourself to death today?"


    Amused by I''s words, she answered with a grin, "I''m almost done. Give me five minutes."


    Five minutester, after saving her projects on theputer, she stood up and went straight to I''s


    desk. "Let''s go for lunch."


    At the restaurant, I could not help but take deep nces at Sheryl. To be honest, she felt a little


    guilty that she had to ask her back to work so early.


    However, half of thepany projects are currently assigned to Sheryl. "Sher, here''s the thing. I should

    have told you this before." Sitting down with her and ordering their lunch, she couldn''t help but


    a lot to learn than merely finishing several projects."


    Sheryl got confused by I''s words so she asked warily, "I, if you have anything to tell me, just go


    straight to the point."


    I hesitated for a second before she replied, "Actually, it is not a serious problem. I just think you are


    more like apany employee than a boss."
