My Husband's Mistress Looks Like Me
Chapter 8
Adam turned around and saw the face clearly. His complexion changed, "Pacey."
Pacey looked at him coldly, and smiled at him, "Who are you talking to?"
Adam didn't dare to tell him the truth. Everyone in the company knew that after Sherry left, the first order Pacey made was to prohibit anyone from bothering her with the company business.
He said he didn't want Sherry to worry about the business, but employees had speculated already that he wanted to completely cut off the connection between Sherry and the group.
After all...
As one of the founders, Sherry had an appeal no less than Pacey.
But how could a group have two big bosses?
When the news of Sherry's resignation was released, the employees were in an uproar. Sherry was the first one who stood out to appease them. She, still as gorgeous as ever, smiled and said: "I'm just a little tired over the years and want to return to the family to enjoy peace and happiness. The future of the group will rely on you all. I believe you won't let me down..."
She was always gentle and comforting, except when negotiating.
Adam didn't say anything. Pacey took the phone, which had not been locked, and looked at the call log. "Adam, you've worked here for a long time. Do you need me to teach you the rules?"
Adam bowed and apologized: "Sorry, Pacey."
Pacey looked at him with his deep eyes. It was a long time before he spoke: "What did you say to her?"
He didn't speak. Adam didn't dare to straighten his back or look up without Pacey's agreement. He said: "Just, just greetings. Sherry was kind to me. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I called her and send my regards."
A suspicious person like Pacey won't believe Adam, of course. But he still said: "You should congratulate yourself on being appreciated by her."
Pacey turned to leave when he threw the cell phone at Adam.
After he took four or five steps, Adam straightened up his back and raised his head. He looked at Pacey's back with a complex expression: That's all?
Pacey would let him go just because he was the employee that Sherry appreciated?
In the past two years, Pacey's mind was more and more difficult to fathom.
Laneshire.
After the call hung up, Sherry received an SMS from Adam that he had an urgent thing to deal with and would call her later.
Sherry read the SMS but didn't take it seriously.
After taking a nap, her mind was in a trance. To clear her mind, she went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water. However, when she opened her eyes, she saw the red blood in the washbasin.
She found her nose bleeding.
She took out one piece of tissue and press her nose with her head down. It bled for two or three minutes before stopping.
She called Pacey and asked him if he could come back earlier today. Pacey said he would come back as soon as possible.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Sherry called the wedding photo studio. "My husband is not available. Please cancel the reservation for me."
The store manager reconfirmed with her that the deposit would not be refunded, because they canceled at the last minute.
Sherry smiled and said, "OK."
After she resigned, he always seemed to be very busy and came back home later and later. Sometimes he even didn't come back at all.
His "as soon as possible" had already become a substitute for "will come back today". It was not that Sherry didn't suspect Pacey had other women behind her back.
But he said his only love was her.
He looked into her eyes and spoke to her so seriously. How could Sherry doubt him?
"Hey, you little bookworm, kick the ball over."
Sherry prepared several dishes in the evening and set up candles on the table. As the minutes ticked by, she fall asleep on the sofa.
In her dream, under the shade tree on the campus, a young man with a ruffian smile deliberately kicked the ball to the position where she read. Facing the wind, he winked with his attractive eyes and called her "little bookworm!".
