Chapter 72 Dreaming it up
He stared hard at the figure on the bed, his gaze cool.
Sherry fell asleep and was dazed when she saw a figure beside her bed. She slowly opened her eyes to get a closer look at his face.
But then she laughed softly, “I’m so dizzy, how I dream of you.”
Aaron’s eyes grew sunken, “That’s quite an unfortunate coincidence, and I don’t want to be in your dreams.”
With these words, he got up and was about to leave.
Sherry just lay on the bed watching his back, perhaps the look was so hot that Aaron turned around after only a few steps.
His elongated figure stood there, blocking the moonlight behind him.
In that moment, Sherry not only looked a little confused.
She had dreamt of Aaron before, but each time it had been unhappy, only this time, he was actually looking at herself so intently.
It made Sherry panic, she might even have the illusion that this was not a dream?
But if it’s not a dream.
Aaron was not going to be in her room at all, let alone at this time of day.
Sherry’s face swept over with a mixture of struggle, bitterness and emotion.
It all fell into Aaron’s eyes.
He suddenly leaned down, his eyes cold, pressing straight into her face.
“You knew there was something wrong with that bottle of wine and you wanted to get a hold of Night Group to blackmail me.”
His voice was deep and muffled, and his hand clutched Sherry with great force.
Sherry was all a bit baffled by how this dream, could be so real!
She was forced to tilt her head in order to meet the man in front of her and barely managed to squeeze out a light smile, “No.”
“So you’re just waiting for me to come back and see you stay in my room like that and …”
“Aaron, I’m not that greedy for your body.” Sherry’s face was so pale as to be almost bloodless, and she half tugged at his sleeve to barely keep her balance.
I wonder if it is a drug effect.
Or does she feel that in her dreams, she can be reckless.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a sarcastic comment to Aaron, “Besides, I don’t feel like having fun every time, so why suffer any more?”
Fire could almost come out from the bottom of the man’s eyes.
Does she know what she’s talking about!
“Sherry.”
His tone sank abruptly, the strength in his hands loosened, a whirling hand landed on her waist and they fell back onto the bed together, “You’ve got a lot of nerve today.”
Sherry felt her whole self-sink into the mattress.
This suddenly overwhelming atmosphere set alarm bells ringing in her heart.
Suddenly, the strength of all those drugs receded.
Her eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her and said through clenched teeth, “I … I just had a dream.”
Aaron snorted lowly.
“I know.”
The chill that flooded his eyes was clearly replaced by thoughts that shouldn’t have been there.
At times like this, he just wanted her to understand one thing clearly, that he would always be the one in charge in this unspoken relationship.
His face was ready cold in the moonlight, “But I didn’t dream it.”
Sherry was tossed around all night.
He simply ignored her discomfort and plundered everything without a care in the world, and by the time dawn came, Sherry’s body was covered in the marks he had left.
The bedside is empty.
And yes, of course he had to go, or he would be seen staying in her room.
Sherry smiled to herself, what was she now?
An unseen, give-and-take bedmate? No, a slave at best.
Because she simply doesn’t have the right to say no.
She went into the bathroom barefoot, turned on the shower and washed herself thoroughly.
It is as if this is the only way to find a little dignity as a human being.
Sherry walked out of the room again and headed straight for the hotel conference room.
She remembered that the schedule had been set a long time ago and that everyone from the Night Group should be here at this time.
She had just reached the door when she heard an icy voice from inside.
“Can’t do such a little thing right?”
In the next moment, the table full of papers was overturned by the man.
“Mr. Swift, don’t be angry, Lara has just taken over Eral’s job and certainly needs time to adjust.” Daisy couldn’t bear to see her men being scolded by this and stepped forward to round things off.
But Aaron just sneered.
“What even Sherry can do well, she can’t? Night Group doesn’t need this kind of crap, you, are sacked.”
“Neither Night Group nor any of its subsidiaries will employ you again in the future.”
The female employee, Lara, was in tears.
“Mr. Swift, don’t be angry, I can learn it all and change it!”
“I don’t have time to wait for you to learn, get out.”
When he curses, he doesn’t leave any room for error.
The door was pulled open and Lara ran out crying.
Just in time, Sherry appeared in the doorway and all eyes were on her at that moment.
Including Aaron.
Sherry was still a little pale and her lips were dry and torn, making her too shabby compared to the heavily made-up appearance of the other staff.
She was not surprised to see the glint of disgust in Aaron’s eyes.
She didn’t really care.
Stepping inside, she picked up the papers on the floor and quickly regrouped them, handing them to Aaron as Eral had told her to do by text message.
For once, the man is satisfied.
And everyone else saw how efficient Sherry was, even Daisy couldn’t say a few more words for Lara when she wanted to.
Strength is the best irony in the face of any naysayers, especially at Night Group, where employees without value are simply discarded.
In the meeting room, there was silence.
Sherry was the only one who remained calm enough to walk over to Aaron and flip through the notepad like nobody’s business.
Everything seems to be so natural.
“Meeting.”
Aaron opened his mouth in a cold voice.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Everyone immediately went back to their seats, sparing even an elderly savant like Daisy a secret sweat.
The meeting ended and everyone walked out of the conference room one by one.
And Sherry was the last one to leave.
She double-checks all the equipment, shuts it down, locks the door and leaves.
The staff all came together and whispered in secret.
“She seems to be quite capable too, not just by connections.”
“I think so, there’s no way a guy as serious as Mr. Swift would open the back door for her! And Lara did go too far today and actually openly seduced Mr. Swift in the boardroom.”
“Ahem.”
Daisy frowned over, “Those of you who have left the company, stop discussing it and mind your own business before you, well, draw fire.”
The staff instantly shot to attention, “Yes, Daisy.”
“Behave yourselves at the party tonight, you know Mr. Henry and his gang will be there, right?” Daisy couldn’t hint too clearly.
If it wasn’t for the Henry Family, we wouldn’t have called in so many female employees today.
“Understood, Daisy.”
On the other side, Sherry puts the collated minutes of the meeting on the desk in Aaron’s room.
But the others were not there.
Sherry stood by the window and glanced down at the far lawn where Aaron was talking to Nola about something.
The light in her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.
You’re so good with Nola, but you’re punishing her in that way, Aaron, you scum!
