Chapter 1176 I Need To See You Right Now


    No matter what had happened, Sheryl thought that she still had to move on. She had no idea when


    Charles would exin to her the kind of rtionship he shared with Rachel. Nevertheless, she had no


    choice but to let nature take its course.


    She was unwilling to face the cruel fact that Charles had an affair. That would be too much to bear.


    ''If I simply let go of this matter and stop even thinking of mentioning it to Charles, perhaps we can get


    through this. But hell no! It looks more like I am deceiving myself, '' she struggled inside. She was


    definitely torn.


    Unlike Sheryl, who had chosen silence, Charles decided to find out the reason for his wife sulking to


    help her out.


    And he knew who he should turn to for assistance.


    Wasting no time, Charles checked his phone contacts and soon dialed a number. I, who at that time


    had just stepped into her house, was stunned as she stared at the caller ID. Still bewildered, she


    epted the call after a few seconds.


    "Hello, Mr. Lu?" I answered, surprised and puzzled.


    "Hi, I. When do you have time? I have something to ask you," Charles began curtly. This was the


    way he spoke. He always cut straight to the point.


    "Alright, Mr. Lu! Now that you want to see me, how would I dare to say no?" She agreed in a tone of


    sarcasm. She was absolutely clueless as to why Charles suddenly wanted to meet her. But she had a


    gut feeling that it had something to do with what had happened between him and Rachel at the bar that


    night.


    I was now determined to interrogate Charles and to figure out the rtionship between him and


    Rachel. However, she had reluctantly given up that thought when she recalled that Sheryl forbade her


    to confront Charles. She didn''t want to upset her best friend.


    ''Perhaps it is just Sheryl''s point of view, and not necessarily represent how Charles perceives the


    whole thing. What if Charles wants to talk openly about that?'' she mused.


    "Please tell me the ce and time, Mr. Lu," I prompted. Obviously, the way shemunicated with


    Charles had changed. Convinced that he had cheated on her best friend, she was furiously mad at him.


    Although she tried so hard to control her disgust towards him, her voice still carried anger and disdain.


    "How about we meet at the coffee shop near Cloud Advertising Company in an hour?" Charles casually


    suggested, ignoring her harsh tone.


    "Fine," I replied briefly.


    She resolved to force Charles to admit his unfaithful behaviors and to teach him a lesson for Sheryl''s


    sake.


    "Honey, I need to go out right now," I hastily informed Aron. Still clutching her handbag, she spun on


    her heels and hurried back to the front door.


    "Where are you going, I?" Aron asked, startled.


    "Cloud Advertising Company! I got a thing to deal with. See youter," I yelled back at her husband


    as she had already walked a distance from their house.


    Charles was seated at a table near the window when I arrived sometimeter.


    As his back was facing the entrance door, he didn''t see hering. He was in a trance when he was


    jolted back to his senses by the sound of the voice of an usher greeting a guest. Checking the time, he


    mused that his guest should be here in any minute. And as if by instinct, he turned around and saw a


    woman approaching him.


    I headed straight to where he was and settled herself in the seat opposite him. "You wanted to see


    me, so here I am. Now tell me, why did you invite me here?" she demanded.


    "I, actually I need you to do me a favor," Charles stated clearly in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.


    "Well, I''m ttered. But you are a president of a bigpany, I don''t think I could be of any help," I


    quipped.


    "I find it weird that both of you are acting kind of strangetely. Sheryl is indifferent to me, and so are


    you. Did I do anything wrong to you?" Charles blurted out his doubts.


    "Mr. Lu, are you kidding me? Howe you know nothing of your own mistake?" I snapped with a


    fakeugh. She was rendered speechless. ''Turns out Charles is such a shameless guy. Why didn''t I


    know his true colors before?


    He is having an affair. All of my subordinates saw him making out with another woman. Now, he does


    not only refuse to admit it but even dares act innocent.


    I try hard not to ask him what he did behind Sheryl'' back, but he is ying dumb and asking me what is


    going on, '' she pondered furiously.


    "I don''t remember doing anything that would upset you," Charles responded, looking puzzled. He was


    totally clueless. No matter how hard he forced himself to think, he couldn''t find the connection between


    Sheryl''s and I''s boiling anger towards him to what had happened that night at Lavender Bar. He only


    aimed to humiliate Rachel, after all.


    Since he was definitely caught unaware, it would never cross his mind that Sheryl and her employees


    had seen him with Rachel at the booth at that time. What was worse, they had misunderstood that he


    was cheating on his wife.


    Hearing Charles sound unapologetic made I feel infuriated all the more. She was so annoyed that


    she almost blurted out what she had seen that night. Fortunately, she was able to hold herself in check


    the moment she opened her mouth. She happened to recall Sheryl''s words. ''What if he doesn''t admit


    when I bring it up? What am I going to do at that time?''


    If she were in Sheryl''s ce, and she had discovered that her husband was having an affair, she would


    let him know and would teach him a hard lesson. However, this was Sheryl''s matter, not hers.


    Sheryl had the right to choose how to settle this problem. Or it was more likely that she was trying to


    protect her family from falling apart.


    I was against the idea of Sheryl ying dumb about her husband''s cheating. But she agreed that it


    might be the best solution if Charles was really in love with Rachel.


    ''If Sher would not mention it to Charles, perhaps they could live together. As long as he still has


    feelings for Sher, and he loves his children, he will not resort to divorce her.


    And if Sher chooses to let it go, then the chance that they can move on is highly probable.


    But if Sher brought it up, Charles might get angry. When that happens, Sher might lose everything, ''


    I ruminated.


    After weighing it over, I chose to remain silent. ''Now that Sher is intending to wait for Charles to


    confess, I should respect her decision. Who knows, Sher might figure out whether her husband


    deserves her or not, '' she decided.


    "Oh yeah, you''re right, Mr. Lu. You did nothing wrong. If there isn''t anything else, then I should be


    going," I uttered in a sullen tone before she rose from her seat and stormed out of the cafe.

    Charles was left alone, trapped in his musings. As he mulled it over, he spected that Rachel or


    Holley had set him up.


    ''It must be their doing. Otherwise, Sher and I would not be so mad at me, '' he assumed.


    ''I should meet Rachel and ask her what she has done, '' he decided.


    The longer he thought about it, the more shameless he found Rachel was.


    ''This woman tried to put Sher down several times. I already taught her a lesson, but she didn''t learn


    from it. If she indeed pushed my buttons, I would not spare her, '' he swore.


    He gave Rachel a call. The minute he got through to her, he seethed with anger and huffed, "No matter


    where you are, I need to see you right now."
