Chapter 995 Instant Friends


    "Really?"


    Thanks to S''s promise, George wore a relieved smile on his face. He was so ecstatic that—without


    thinking—he reached his hand out to hold S''s, but she moved her hand away.


    S red coldly at George and said, "Mr. Han, no more favors. And please don''t act like we''re on


    good terms. We''re done here. Have a nice life."


    "Fine!" George replied without hesitation. Because what S said and did were out of anger, she


    hadn''t thought that George would agree so quickly. She was breaking into pieces inside as she realized


    that her rtionship with him was finally andpletely over. Her heart was well and truly broken at


    the sight of his cheerful expression.


    She asked herself, ''What''s so special about Holley? Why has George fallen so deeply in love with her?''


    George looked at S with an excited smile on his face and made a promise to her, "Don''t worry. I''ll


    return the favor. If you need a handter, just hit me up and I''ll help you."


    "If there''s nothing more, I''m gone." With those words ending the conversation, S turned to leave in


    quick and unsteady steps.


    When she was facing away from George, S couldn''t control herself anymore and finally burst into


    tears. She was dumped by George, which tore her heart to pieces.


    After S was back home, Donna saw that the younger girl was really depressed. She asked what


    happened. Face wet with tears, S finally told Donna everything, which made the mother tremble in


    rage.


    "Wow! He''s really something else, isn''t he? He didn''t even ask my permission. I need to sort him out."


    Donna''s voice was thick with fury. The woman pulled out her phone and was ready to call George, but


    S stopped her.


    S stared at Donna helplessly and begged, "Aunt Donna, please stop. I don''t want anything more to


    do with him."


    A frown made its way onto Donna''s face. She stared deeply at S, and then turned off her screen,


    setting the phone down.


    Donna bade S sit on the sofa. She breathed a deep sigh andforted her, "S, I know you''re


    down right now. But you should understand that Holley is a terrible person, and I''m not going to let my


    son marry her."


    "But, Aunt Donna..." S frowned.


    Donna patted S''s hands andforted her with a gentle tone. "I know you''re upset, but do you think


    I''m going to take this lying down? George won''t be able to live happily ever after with this woman. I


    know he was pretty harsh with you. Don''t worry, he''ll change his tune."


    Donna looked at S and said, "Here''s what I want you to do. Go upstairs and get some sleep. I''ll


    figure out how to deal with Holley tomorrow."


    S took a deep look at Donna. She was confused. ''Do I need to keep loving him?''


    Yeah, I blew him off, but I still have some hope in my heart. I hope Georgees back for me after he


    figures out who Holley really is.''


    The next morning, Sheryl went to work early as usual. Recently, her attention was diverted from


    designing projects to training the employees as much as she could.


    As I said, she couldn''t handle everything on her own.


    By noontime, Sheryl was still troubleshooting employee projects. The receptionist came by with news.


    "Sher, someone wants to meet you outside."


    "Really? Who?" Sheryl was confused for a second. She thought, ''It''s almost lunchtime. Maybe it''s


    Charles here to have lunch with me?


    No that can''t be it. The receptionist knows who he is, and would let him in without too much fuss.''


    "I don''t know." The receptionist added to Sheryl, "She said she''s your friend. I''m guessing that once


    you see her, you''ll know who she is."


    Sheryl frowned, wondering who it could be. "I''m going out for a bit. The rest of you, back to work," she


    told her employees.


    When Sheryl reached the reception desk, she saw a familiar figure—it was Donna.


    She frowned and stood staring for what seemed like forever, wondering, ''Why is she here?''


    "Miss Xia." Donna sat in one of the chairs in the reception area, and saw hering over. She stood


    up as Sheryl was came in and nodded her head in greeting.


    Confused, she almost forgot her manners. Then she caught herself, andposed herself. She wore a


    polite smile. "Ms. Han! What a surprise! Why are you here?"


    Donna smiled and looked Sheryl straight in the eye. "I think you know why."


    Sheryl gave Donna a dumbfounded look and shook her head.


    ''To be honest, I do want to confer with her. But I''m so busy right now. Maybe we can pencil something


    inter. Why did shee to me first?''


    She scratched her head. "Sorry, I really don''t know why. Could you please… cut to the chase?"


    "It''s private. So, not here." Donna looked at the decorations in the lobby. Finally, she asked, "It''s


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    lunchtime. Miss Xia, will you do me the honor of having lunch with me?"


    Sheryl hesitated for a second. She really didn''t know why Donna was here. On one hand, she was


    really curious about Donna''s purpose; on the other hand, she had something to discuss with Donna as


    well, so Sheryl epted Donna''s lunch invitation.


    Sheryl chose a nearby Korean restaurant. After all, Donna was her guest, so she chose a decent ce.


    At the restaurant, they walked into apartment and took their seats. Then Sheryl said to Donna,


    "Ms. Han, this Korean restaurant is the most authentic one near ourpany. The food is delicious.


    You have to taste it to believe it."


    "That is so kind of you, Miss Xia." Donna replied with a tender smile. The first time she met Sheryl, she


    liked her. Donna couldn''t exactly put her finger on why, but Sheryl''s personality was absolutely


    maic.


    There were some people she liked when she met them. On the flipside, there were people she hated


    no matter how many times they saw each other.


    After ordering, Sheryl poured Donna a ss of water and said, "Ms. Han, I…"


    Donna interrupted Sheryl, wearing a gentle smile on her face. "Miss Xia, I''m older than you. If you don''t


    mind, could you call me Aunt Donna? It''s a bit weird being called Ms. Han."


    "Fine." Sheryl smiled and said, "On one condition. Call me Sher."


    "Sher." Donna said Sheryl''s name and smiled at her. "It''s a beautiful name."


    "Aunt Donna…" Sheryl hesitated for a moment and finally spat it out. "You said you wanted to speak in


    private. Now it''s just the two of us. So, what did you want to tell me?"
