Chapter 35 Ostracized
Early the following morning, the entire schedule officially ended with the return of the various companies.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
As Sherry got on the Night Group bus, all the employees looked at her, the glares of either contempt or jealousy were hot.
She tried very hard to adjust herself not to think about those things.
When you see an empty seat, you want to sit down.
“There’s someone here.”
Sherry paused in her movements and looked further back in the row, where the employee next to the empty seat immediately stood the seat in place with her bag.
They are all united in their dislike of Sherry.
She wrinkled her brow, thinking that it was only an hour or so to the airport and that standing was no big deal.
“Sherry, Mr. Swift is calling you over.” Eral shouted as he got into his car.
Sherry stiffened, and the eyes of the other employees focused even more on her, the murmurs rustling as she got out of the car.
“What’s going on, Mr. Swift really likes her!”
“Nola has been waiting for Mr. Swift for years, only to have Sherry cut her off.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, even if Mr. Swift is having an affair with her, it’s just an act, she can’t be married to the Swift Family.
“And yes, look at her shabby look …”
Sherry’s hand clutching the car door tightened and tightened, pretending not to hear as she walked to Aaron’s car.
“Mr. Swift, you wanted to see me.” Sherry’s voice was muffled as she bowed her head.
“Get in.”
Aaron spat out two words slowly, his face icy cold.
Sherry hesitated a little, but pulled the door handle anyway.
When she arrived at the airport, Eral handed her the finished work badge.
It clearly states five words, Assistant Intern, followed by a row of small letters, under the President’s office.
Sherry was dumbfounded throughout.
She looked to Aaron’s already distant back and asked incredulously, “What does that mean?”
Eral immediately replied, “From now on, you are one of Mr. Swift’s assistants.”
This position is a dream come true for many people and being able to work for Aaron as an assistant would be a great CV to have later on, even if you jump ship to another company.
But Sherry wasn’t so happy.
Why did he do it?
“Sherry, this is a generous offer from Mr. Swift, I hope you will work hard and add to the glory of the Night Group in the future.” Eral added this.
Sherry clutches the name tag.
It wasn’t her place to disobey Aaron, and she nodded slowly, “Okay, I get it.”
Working as an assistant, right?
She has ways of getting Aaron to voluntarily move her out.
Nola had just left the hotel when their flight took off, and was doubly angry that Aaron had left her here alone and called home immediately.
Gregorio couldn’t bear the thought of his sister being aggrieved and a call was made to Aaron’s mobile.
At that moment, Aaron was sitting in the back of the limo, flicking through his reports, glancing at the number and tossing the phone to Sherry, “You take it.”
The word Gregorio is written plainly on it.
Sherry hesitates, is Aaron trying to lend the Garcia Family a hand and torture her properly?
“Sherry?” the man mouthed unpleasantly.
Sherry just had to press the answer button, “Hello.”
When he heard a woman’s voice, Gregorio froze on the other side of the phone, Aaron’s phone, how could a woman answer it?
“Nola?”
Sherry answered straight away, “I’m Mr. Swift’s assistant, what can I do for you?”
Of course Gregorio couldn’t hear Sherry’s voice and wondered when Aaron had a female assistant and could actually answer Aaron’s mobile phone!
“Where’s Aaron? Put him on the phone.”
Sherry looked smoothly at the man in front of her, who was half-heartedly answering the phone.
She just had to continue, “Sorry, Mr. Shen, Mr. Swift’s hand is frostbitten and he’s having a hot compress applied right now, so I’m afraid he can’t answer the phone.”
It was something that Gregorio had also heard Nola talk about.
He couldn’t say anything at the moment.
Another threat was made for Aaron to treat his sister well, and Sherry took note of it word for word.
When he put the phone down, he repeated those words in front of the entire business class, and in Gregorio’s voice.
“That’s enough.”
Aaron lifted his cold eyes and his stern gaze fell on Sherry’s clear, but deliberately searching face.
“Mr. Swift is not listening? I am merely repeating Gregorio’s exact words; after all, the rapprochement between your two families is at stake, and I dare not conceal anything.”
Aaron’s hand gradually tightened and the words ground out from between his teeth, “Okay, hard work, go pour a cup of coffee.”
Sherry obediently got up and came back with the coffee.
I didn’t expect the man’s cold voice, “It’s too hot.”
Pour another glass.
“It doesn’t taste good.”
“Pour it again.”
Sherry went back and forth a dozen times, Aaron was not satisfied with each one, and with each cup of coffee, Sherry was ordered to drink it.
When he’d had enough of tossing and turning and leaned back in his business chair to rest, Sherry drank coffee until her stomach hurt and went to the bathroom to vomit for a while.
When she came out, it happened to be Islene waiting outside.
“Throwing up? That’s not …”
Her eyes moved wistfully to Sherry’s stomach, and the implication could not have been clearer.
Sherry wrinkled her nose, to say who she suspected of locking the rooftop door, Islene was definitely the first suspect as her room was opposite the one Sherry was staying in.
It was also the person most likely to know that she and Aaron had gone to the rooftop.
“Why are you looking at me like that! Get out of the way.” Islene’s eyes fluttered and he pushed her away into the bathroom.
Sherry stood still, looking at the bathroom door, her eyes gradually sinking.
She’s not the kind of character to be bullied into setting her up behind her back?
Islene came out of the bathroom to find everyone looking at her.
“What’s wrong?” She asked in wonder as she returned to her seat.
But no one paid any attention to her.
Even the two female employees, who were usually on good terms with her, were now looking at her strangely.
Islene was called over by Jane before she knew what was happening.
“You’ve been distracted lately, what nonsense are you thinking about, you need to focus on your work, just like this, do you still want to pass the assessment next month?”
“Jane, what have I done wrong? You tell me and I will …”
But before she could finish her sentence, Jane looked disgusted, turned her head and walked away.
Islene stood still, even more confused.
It wasn’t until the plane landed that, as soon as she opened her phone, she saw a video that was publicly available on the company’s intranet, and it was clearly a video of her quietly on the top floor of the hotel, with the rooftop door unlocked.
Islene’s head buzzed.
Immediately run from the baggage collection area to the VIP lane.
Stumbling and nearly falling.
“Eral, please, explain to Mr. Swift that I didn’t mean to lock that door, I did, I didn’t know he was up there too, I was only going to lock Sherry’s at first.”
She happened to be coming out of her room at the time when she saw Sherry going to the rooftop with a man.
She would never have guessed that the person was actually Aaron.
