Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 35 Jeremy's Plan

After Jeremy left, Sherry felt like a deflated balloon. She knew that she needed to be stronger and had to tell him that she wasn't the person he once knew her to be.

While in his office, Jeremy's mind was overtaken by the events of yesterday. He called Barry in to help him with something.

"Contact SZ Advertising Company and tell them that they're going to be in charge of our new products," he dejectedly said.

"But we haven't developed any new products..." said Barry confused.

"Didn't you make a proposal that I recently refused? Use that one," Jeremy said in a flat, abrupt tone. 'What a changeable man,' thought Barry.

Barry was befuddled. Jeremy then added, "By the way, tell Chester that this advertisement planner can only be Sherry, and nobody else!"

It suddenly dawned on Barry that Jeremy was doing all of this because of Sherry.

"Yes, sir!" Barry answered bravely. He put his doubts aside and walked out the office.

Jeremy put his hands on the table and gleefully smiled.

When Sherry arrived at the company, she found that the advertising department was tirelessly slaving away. Sherry put her bag down and looked at the thick pile of documents on the table. Before she could even sit down comfortably, she was called by Langston.

She hurriedly stood up and went to Langston's office.

He threw a pile of documents to her and said, "Take it. From now on, you won't be in charge of the Song Group's case. We've got a new project for you."

Sherry was baffled by Langston's news but took the documents anyway. Across the cover she saw the words, "The Ou Group."

"What's this?" Sherry curiously asked.

"Earlier, Mr. Ou's secretary informed us that he wanted to us to handle his case and that you are to be the designated advertisement planner," Langston said.

Langston wasn't fond of the new manager. There was plenty of gossip about her relationship with Chester before she got this job.

Sherry walked back to her office looking at the documents, still a little stunned.

She took out her phone and dialed Barry hastily. Barry answered quickly with, "Mrs. Ou, what can I do for you?"

"Barry, did Jeremy want to work with SZ Advertising Company and appoint me as the project planner?"

Although she knew the answer, she still wanted to confirm.

"Yes." You could hear the joy in Barry's voice. He was happy to see that this could ease Jeremy and Sherry's relationship.

Was this his revenge? Jeremy's company didn't have any new products to advertise.

However, she still said resolutely, "You can tell him that I like my current job very much. No matter what he does, he won't make me resign!"

Barry was puzzled. Did Jeremy mean to force Sherry to resign?

"Besides, I know what he's thinking. I will do my best to finish this advertising plan and make it work to his liking!"

Sherry didn't care what Jeremy thought; she was determined to do the job well and had made up her mind.

Finishing her words, she hung up the phone. Barry was still confused. Why didn't she just directly call Jeremy?

Barry told his boss what Sherry had said. Jeremy dismissed him after hearing his words.

'Good, Sherry. If you keep working there, I'll eventually get you to quit!'

Just after midday, Sherry went to the Ou Group with her plan.

'It's so annoying. Why can't I just contact him over the phone or call him to come here? Why does Jeremy have to ask me to come to his company?'

Sherry's job was a far from the Ou Group. She had a long taxi drive ahead of her before she got there.

Looking at the tall building in front of her, she was lost in thought. In the past, when she wanted to come here, Jeremy didn't want her around. Now, she could be here, but she didn't want to come at all.

Sometimes time changed an awful lot in life. A man who once didn't love her was now forcing himself into her life.

Sherry stood in the elevator as it went to the top floor. Her mind was fully occupied with how she was going to deal with Jeremy.

It would be shocking if Jeremy actually dealt with her seriously! Sherry already knew this though. She wasn't expecting any better from him.

She was going to be professional though, for the sake of the company and her interests as a business woman.

Jeremy's office was so quiet to the point you could hear a pin drop. Three people sat in a small office outside Jeremy's. Sherry didn't know the people in there except for Barry.

Barry immediately welcomed her and said, "Boss is inside. You can go in directly."

Barry dared not call her, "Mrs. Ou" in front of the other people.

Sherry nodded, walked to the office door and pushed it open.

A shadow of a gentle figure fell on the floor from a tall and strong man standing in front of the window. When she looked at his back, Sherry's nose twitched for no reason.

She used to long for every aspect of him, which now hurt her.

"Mr. Ou," she called his name neither coldly nor warmly.

He turned around and saw her holding a paper bag full of documents while looking back at him

"Come and sit here," he said, pointing at the sofa.

As Sherry guardedly walked towards him as Jeremy poured a glass of water for her. He sat down next to her almost habitually.

Sherry frowned and uncomfortably moved aside a little. Jeremy leaned over and held her in his arms. She kept trying to edge away which only made him hold her tighter.

"We are talking business. Mr. Ou, please respect me!" she barked at him coldly.

He leaned in and kissed her on the head. Sherry shuddered backward and in doing this the documents fell to the floor.

She pushed him away. "What are you doing? We agreed to just discuss work!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Okay, let's talk about work." He leaned in again and kissed her lips passionately.

She'd never discussed work while doing this before. However Jeremy wasn't letting go of her. So while lying in his arms she began reading the documents.

"Can you stop moving?" questioned Sherry angrily.

"Okay, I won't move." However, Jeremy kept making advances.

After a while, Sherry couldn't take it anymore. She slammed the documents on the table and squirmed in an attempt to get out of his arms. Her face turned red and she said, "It seems that you are not in the mood for work. I'll come back tomorrow!"

After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave. At this moment, her hand was pulled by Jeremy and she was pulled into his arms again.

He was maddened/ "You should've expected this. Should I have let you prepared?"

Sherry's wrists were tightly clenched in his hands, unable to move at all.

"Can you stop acting like a wild beast?" she said becoming angry from embarrassment. She leaned in closer to him and bit his nose.

Feeling the pain, Jeremy kissed her.

The sofa was by no means small but it was completely covered by Jeremy's tall, strong body. Sherry kept still unable to push him away.

"Do you like that?" he whispered in her ear, licking her earlobe.

"No, I hate it!" she shouted, gritting her teeth trying to sound angry. She didn't know where to put her hand. "Let me go. I don't want to do this! Jeremy! You promised me you wouldn't force me to do this without my consent. You're breaking your word!"

At this moment the landline on the table rang.

Jeremy didn't stop making advances. Sherry had to push his head away. In an attempt to stop him, she said, "The phone is ringing."

"Let it ring," Jeremy answered back in a daze.

The phone eventually stopped ringing but the silence was broken by the door opening.

"Honey, I..." It was the sweet voice of Jessie. When she saw their bodies on the sofa, she stopped dead in her tracks.

Jeremy's clothes were still very tidy, except that his tie was loosened and his hair was a mess. However, Sherry was in a miserable state. Her top was off and her pants were nowhere to be seen. A large amount of her smooth skin was exposed to the point where she was almost naked.

Upon hearing the voice, Jeremy ungracefully stood up, took his coat and put it over her.

Sherry was taken aback. She embarrassingly put her clothes back on, hunched over with her back to the door.

"You....you guys?" Jessie looked at Jeremy, distraught. But Jeremy was more angry than ashamed and asked, "Who let you in?"

Standing at the door, Barry didn't dare to come in. He said in a guilty tone, "Sorry, sir. Miss Liang insisted on coming in. I couldn't stop her."

No one could deal with Jessie except for Jeremy if she got mad.

"You bitch! You are seducing my husband again!" shouted Jessie. Sherry finished dressing and immediately Jessie rushed to attack her. Much to her surprise she found that Jeremy tightly grabbed her arm before she could cause any damage.

"Honey, you..." Jessie's eyes were red and filled with tears. She was about to burst into tears.

"Get out." Jeremy's voice was hoarse. Jessie glared at Sherry and said, "Didn't you hear that? He wanted you to get out!"

Jeremy threw Jessie's hand down and pushed her towards the door. "No. You, get out!"

Jessie bit her lip in an attempt to hold back from crying but she could not help but burst into tears.

Putting the documents away with a cold expression, Sherry said, "Let's talk about work next time!"

Her emotionless expression saddened him. His heart sank. Her hand fought off his when he attempted to grab her. She just said, "I've got to go."

When she heard that Jessie called Jeremy 'honey', it filled her with sadness and pain. It felt as if her heart had been cut open and she was left to bleed out.

When Sherry passed by Jessie's side, she seemed like she was about to attack Sherry. She met the sharp eyes of Jeremy, who seemed to be warning her to not touch Sherry!

Sherry slammed the door. With a dejected expression on her face, she felt disappointment engulf in her heart.

The wall she had built over several years to protect her heart had been broken once again. It was destroyed by the simple act of Jessie calling Jeremy 'honey'.
