Chapter 12 Gossips


    In the study.


    "You still remember toe back?" John became furious when he saw William, "When are you getting


    married? When will you find a mother for Sammy?"


    "You asked me back here to talk about this?” William frowned.


    "Unfilial son! Lucille left for three years already. When will you move on?"


    "Don''t mention her!" William''s face immediately darkened.


    "Then get married! Next week will be thepany''s anniversary celebrations and many daughters of


    industry leaders will be attending. Just pick one!"


    “Anything else?" William asked impatiently, “If not, I''ll take my leave."


    William left the study before John said anything else.


    In the child''s room.


    "Daddy, was Snow White awaken by the Prince in the end?"


    "I''ll tell you next time!"


    "No daddy, I want to know now"


    "What do you think?"


    "She was awakened by his kiss!"


    "Yes, Sammy is so smart!"


    A weekter.


    Sherry''s ability to adapt was very strong otherwise she wouldn''t have survived through these few years.


    She took care of a child by herself and worked as she studied. Eventually, she managed to get her


    qualifications. That was why she was able to be very familiar with her work in just a matter of


    days.


    The only issue was Lara had been making things difficult for her. At least she was able to carefully


    resolve them!


    Today, both Mr. Rond and Lara were not at the office.


    "Sherry, I heard that Mr. Rond took Lara on a business trip!" Alice rushed over.


    "Oh? Really?" Sherry didn''t like to gossip and continued to work on her documents. She wanted to


    capitalize on the boss''s absence to quietly work and learn as much as she could.


    "Do you know that Mr. Rond has many women? I heard that Lara is one of them! Mr. Rond only


    epts virgins. He is obsessive about cleanliness!"


    "Okay!" She replied indifferently.

    Not many men were obsessive about cleanliness. So, if he was obsessive about cleanliness, then why


    did he have so many women? Isn''t that conflicting?


    She felt that someone who was obsessive about cleanliness should not have any woman. Wouldn''t he


    be cleaner to live on his own?


    "Now Mr. Rond only drinks coffee made by you. Sherry, are you one of Mr. Rond''s women?"


    Alice continued to pester.


    "Hey!" Sherry whipped her head up and couldn''t help butughed, "Alice, you have a wild imagination!"


    "But you were personally selected by Mr. Rond. He personally hired you! You are the only one who


    had this honor! Do you know how many


    people in thepany are jealous of you?"


    "I don''t know!" Sherryughed, “Let''s get back to work."


    "Sherry, you''re so square!" Alice shook her head, "Yeah, it makes sense! How could Mr. Rond like


    you? Mr. Rond is so macho and should like someone sexy like Lara! You can''t be Mr. Rond''s


    woman!"


    What has this to do with us? Sherry sighed inside her.


    "Sherry! Why do you dress so maturely when you are so young? Your boyfriend must have nightmares


    when he sees you dressed like that at night!"


    "Ha!" Sherryughed. She had never considered having a rtionship and never dreamed of the


    impossible. At twenty years old, she had lost the right to love someone.


    Oh! Luke''s death anniversary wasing soon! She looked in her diary and circled the date. It was


    this weekend. She nned to bring Dan to her brother''s grave. That day was Luke''s death anniversary


    and also the day which she lost her innocence.


    "Mommy, is uncle really in heaven?” Dan looked puzzled at the picture on the tombstone and asked


    Sherry, "Uncle is a good man and is in heaven. He is very happy now and will never be hurt again!"


    "Oh!" Dan nodded as if he understood.


    "Okay, don''t be sad anymore, Luke doesn''t wish to see you being sad!" Celia said at the side and her


    eyes sparkled with tears.


    Suddenly, Dan tugged Sherry''s clothes, "Mommy, that grandma is looking at you!"


    "What?" Sherry turned and in the haze of her tears, she saw a middle-aged woman standing about ten


    meters away with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. She stood still and stared at Sherry.


    Sherry blinked and wiped her tears before she could see clearly who the person was.


    "Sherry!" That woman walked forward and looked at Sherry and the child in surprise, "Sherry..."


    Sherry looked clearly at her. She was wearing cheongsam and looked as beautiful and graceful as


    when she was young. No one could see from her face that she was already in her forties.


    She smiled coldly as if she didn''t see her at all. Sherry held onto Dan''s hand, "Dan, say goodbye to


    uncle. Let''s go home!"
