Chapter 213 The edge
After a short period of disorientation, Edward returned to his usual reserved appearance, and those eyes carried too many emotions for Sherry to guess.
So, she let her thoughts go, and just felt the aroma of the bowl of noodles in front of her, picked up her chopsticks, and ate.
The two sat facing each other, but each ate their own.
“Do you still count what you once said about finding someone to start a new life with?” Edward hooked his lips and handed over his business card, “If you feel that you are not having a good time at Sunion Group, Zillions Group is always ready to welcome you.”
Sherry stared.
“Mr. Edward, you don’t make fun of me.”
They are all adults, and they all know how much of a ripple his words will cause.
Not to mention the fact that Edward’s mother had personally evicted her from the villa, and now that Nola has been recognized as part of the Garcia family, the marriage contract between them will definitely be revisited.
Sherry’s eyes were clear, “I’m working well at Zillions Group, thank you for your kindness, and the noodles here are delicious, if Mr. Edward doesn’t have anything else, I’d like to go back first.”
“I can introduce you to some family backgrounds that are good, men.”
Edward dropped his chopsticks, “Which, does not include me.”
In that instant, Sherry made one thing clear.
In his eyes, she never had a place.
The so-called curiosity is also a whim.
Now that Nola is back with the Garcia family, to him she is a gift ready to be given away?
Edward could not understand the expression on Sherry’s face at this time.
He was about to say something else when Sherry took out a hundred dollar bill and placed it on the table.
“Thanks for the kind words, but I’ve seen the men of Seattle and won’t be interested in anyone here in the future.”
She turned and walked away, leaving Edward with only a distant back.
Edward sat in place for a while, the bowl of soup on the table was cold.
“It seems that without me doing anything, you have excluded me from your world, and then what the Garcia family elders feared will not happen.”
Edward slowly closed his cold eyes, and then opened them again, a harsh.
…
Two days later.
The KDL project was officially launched, and Miller was invited as a special judge for the launch, along with several senior management from the group.
Sherry was checking the final details with Evelin, and as the reporters and visitors filed in, she saw the irritating figure behind Edward, Nola.
She is a change from her usual haughty look, a good and elegant look, between the hands and feet, but really some of the feeling of the luxury family’s daughter.
Evelin sensed her gaze and looked over in response.
“Mr. Edward is one of the main characters today, and Sunion Group is also interested in this project with an additional five hundred million investment at present.”
Sherry nodded her head and didn’t continue the conversation.
Evelin raised his eyebrows a little as he watched her quickly get to work. There was not a lot of gossip about Sherry within the company, but she was a tough person who could keep her ideas and work efficiently under such circumstances.
“Sherry, we’ll see how you do today.”
“Miss. Evelin, I will take this opportunity.”
Sherry said so, and she didn’t go back on her word.
The whole time, they behaved graciously and were able to answer all the tough questions from the reporters.
Both Miller and the many investors on stage were very pleased with her performance.
Ryan didn’t hide his appreciation for Sherry and said to Arlene, his special assistant, “Give her a car in the name of the company.”
After all, he is one of the future leaders of the Zillions Group, and he has to treat Sherry better.
Turning back again, Ryan saw Nola sitting to Edward’s right.
For a moment, coldness rose to the brow.
She had been staying with the Garcia family for two nights, but Ryan just couldn’t bring himself to see her as his sister, no matter how he looked at it, Nola was being sycophantic, and deep down, he didn’t feel any closer to her.
To be true, he would have preferred Sherry to be …
As soon as this year popped up, it was immediately squashed by Ryan.
He was really crazy, thinking about something.
The whole room recalled the applause, and this conference was drawing to a close.
But suddenly a reporter stood up, “May I ask if your company has no criteria when selecting people for appointment? Why would someone with a criminal record like you be allowed to carry out such an important medical development project? We, the public, do not want someone like you interfering in the future of medical care!”
He spoke impassionedly, and his words and eyes revealed his contempt for Sherry.
The lights in the room went down and some people started whispering.
Just now Sherry’s perfect performance also turned out to be a disguise for her desire to be among the upper class, as if that person was not her.
Her outstanding ability and performance, in this moment turned into smoke, once blown away.
Evelin frowned offstage, called his assistant to arrange a few words, and then prepared to go onstage to save the day.
But at that moment, Sherry spoke up.
She smiled faintly, as if she did not care about the other party’s difficulties, “My entry into Zillions Group was a normal process, and you doubt our hiring standards, so can I also look at your press credentials and your account transfer records within three days? I have reason to suspect that a competing company, or someone with bad intentions, is trying to use this opportunity to personally attack me and destroy the good relationship between Zillions Group and other partners. ”
“You can’t …”
“I’ll contact the company’s legal department now. Please wait a moment, reporter Barry Kerr.”
Sherry looked at his chest ID and laughed lightly, “You can also prove your innocence, why don’t you tell me now in front of everyone, how did you know that I have a criminal record for this matter? Also, may I ask which law clearly indicates that people like me cannot enter the company to work?”
Journalists are, after all, front-line media workers.
Some people want to make a fool of her and make an issue of those old stories.
Sherry laughed mockingly and looked directly at Nola.
The corners of his lips opened and closed silently, “You wait.”
At the same time, Edward also noticed this sentence of hers.
That reporter was refuted by Sherry in a few words and couldn’t say anything, his face turned blue and white, he didn’t expect a reporter from Zillions Group to really come over, “Please come with us, don’t interfere with the launch.”
Sherry was not affected by the incident in any way, and her calm reaction made the investors on stage forget this little episode.
Wait for that reporter to be taken out.
Nola glanced at the stage and quietly rubbed up against Edward’s side.
In Sherry that angle to look over, it is like two people in public whispering, look close not to say, Nola’s smile is also so shy and lovely.
Anyone else would have thought there was some ambiguity between them.
Sherry, however, just watched.
Eyes without ripples, straight through the crowd, looking at Edward’s face.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
One second, two seconds …
Edward straight up, without looking at Nola on the way out, if Sherry just averted his gaze certainly can not see this scene.
Nola was secretly angry and turned her head again just in time to touch Sherry’s line of sight.
Her little trick was poked and prodded and her heart thumped.
But what caught her off guard was yet to come.
“Good, you really are hiding here!”
Gregorio, with his accompanying secretary, rushed straight in and grabbed Nola by the wrist, with a look so ruthless that he could have eaten her alive on the spot.
