Chapter 1189 ce A Bet


    I didn''t care much about it at all. Her visit to thepany yesterday had given her a bad impression


    of it. Now that they were unable to keep thepany running, she felt it was better to cancel their


    contract.


    "Give me the contact details of thepany. I want to make sure that I give it onest chance," said


    Sheryl, unwilling to give up on those young men who had just started to branch out on their own.


    Sheryl clearly remembered the passion in their eyes thest time they hade to theirpany to

    seek a contract with them. They longed earnestly to start apany of their own and disy their


    Their desire was obvious and sincere. Sheryl didn''t want to believe that those young men had forgone


    their faith in such a short time.


    Even if they had left their faith behind, Sheryl didn''t want to give up yet. She felt that she should make


    an effort to hold onto her faith at least.


    "Why are you so determined in wasting more of our time bothering with them?" I asked again in


    disbelief.


    "I don''t have anything else to do for now. I finished the other order yesterday. So, why don''t I help you


    with this one? I don''t see any problem in it," Sheryl said with a shrug.


    "Oh? Are you challenging me? All right then, I''ll give you their phone number. From now on, you are in


    charge of this order!" I obviously had no tolerance for provocation.


    She was confident about her professional skills. She was ready to take Sheryl''s challenge head on.


    "Yeah, you can take it as a challenge! It will be pretty boring if there is no bet in ce. What do you


    think?" Sheryl asked with a wide smile. She had been extremely bored these past few days. This was a


    rare chance for her to stir her blood. She couldn''t let it slip through her fingers.


    And I was the perfect person for her to get that kind of excitement from. Sheryl had no interest in


    seeking out trouble by gambling with others. All she wanted was to have a little bit of fun with her


    friends.


    "A bet? Okay! You determine the rules. I''m in!" I was intrigued instantly.


    "The rules are simple. If I can help reconcile the partners of Lansh Technology and convince them to


    keep running thepany, I win. Otherwise, I lose," Sheryl stated simply.


    "All right. It''s a bet. Let''s see, I ce one hundred dors on it," said I, taking a hundred dor bill


    out of her pocket.


    "That is too little! Let''s go big! The loser has to pay the travel costs to Sanya for the winner. How does


    that sound?" Sheryl dered. She had been wanting to take a trip for a while now. She was hoping that


    if she lost, she could pay for I and they could go together on the trip.


    "Travel costs to Sanya?!" I blurted out, her eyes wide in surprise. "Sheryl, that is too much! I can''t


    afford it. I''m not as wealthy as you are. I don''t have enough money to cover your traveling expenses.


    Be realistic. You are the wife of a CEO, not me!" I scoffed, shaking her head at her friend''s ridiculous


    bet. I was suspicious that it was a trap because Sheryl seemed so confident that she could win.


    Sheryl was rich. If I fell for her tricks, she would have to cover the cost of her trip to Sanya. ''Charles


    should be the one paying for her, '' I thought.


    "I see that someone has lost her guts to ce the bet," Sheryl provoked her.


    "You are right. I wouldn''t dare agree to this bet. There is nothing you can do to force me." I raised


    her brow in suspicion once again. She was wondering if Sheryl was doing this to retaliate because she


    had asked Sheryl to treat all the staff to dinner before.


    If I lost the bet, she would have to bear immense loses. She couldn''t risk it.


    "You are such a coward," said Sheryl, knowing that her n hadn''t worked. It would be no fun at all if


    I didn''t take the bet.


    "Yep, I''m a coward," I admitted without any embarrassment. She had nothing to be ashamed of


    since it was true that she couldn''t afford to take such a huge bet. "Fine. Since you are such a


    spoilsport, we''ll just cancel the bet!" Sheryl pouted, disappointed.


    I was nervous as she dialed the number of thepany. She held her breath as she sat in front of


    theputer. However, the line was not connected.


    "See? I told you! No one is answering the call," I said, relieved.


    "You already knew that the call won''t be answered, so you should also know that I won''t be budged by


    that. Why didn''t you agree to the bet?" Sheryl asked. She always disyed a clear mind and rigid logic


    when she argued with anyone.


    "The bet you ced is too big for me and I can''t afford it if I lose." I spoke her mind finally.


    Sherylughed. "I, I''m honestly surprised that you have something that actually scares you," she


    said.


    "Fine, forget it! Now that you want to y so badly, I will y with you just as you wish," I said,


    giving in to Sheryl''s taunts.


    I knew Lansh Technology better than Sheryl did, so she was confident that she would be the one to


    win.


    Thatpany would not make it. It was impossible for it to keep afloat just because of a few


    encouraging words from Sheryl.


    "Good! That''s the I I know." Sheryl smiled.


    I sighed at her friend''s enthusiasm. She said, "Cut the nonsense and check whether you can get


    through to them or not." I handed the phone to Sheryl.


    "Okay, I will make the call now." Sheryl dialed Lansh Technology''s number which I had handed to


    her earlier.


    But no one answered the call this time either.


    Sheryl didn''t give up and kept on calling.


    But the call didn''t go through.


    "This is a waste of time. You stay here, I. I''m gonna go to Lansh Technology and see what''s


    happening there," Sheryl said, shaking her head. She wondered if this issue could be solved if she


    showed up at theirpany in person.


    "Sher, I''ming with you. There''s nothing important for me to do here anyway," I said, standing up


    from her chair.


    Just a moment ago, they had been arguing with each other. But now, they were as intimate as sisters,


    as if nothing had happened.


    They were best friends, after all. They had nothing to fear or care about as long as they had each


    other''s back.


    Together, they wouldn''t let anything get in their way.


    "All right. This will more likely be settled if we go together," Sheryl agreed without a second thought.


    "I don''t know if we can do this or not, and frankly, I don''t care. But I want to see how you will find a way


    to change their minds."


    "Actually, even I don''t know how. We''ll see when we arrive at Lansh Technology," Sheryl said.


    "Well, then what''s the hold up? Let''s go!" I hurried Sheryl; she was as impatient as always.


    "All right, let''s hit the road!" Sheryl looked at the time. It was almost noon. They didn''t have much time


    left.
