Man, what's wrong with you?

Chester frowned at the two empty seats beside him.

He noticed that Sherry had been gone for a long time, while on his other side, Jeremy's seat was also notably empty.

He couldn't ignore the worry in his gut, so he stood up and walked out of the room, looking around for the two of them.

However, he was surprised to see Jeremy smirking at him, as he walked towards the washroom.

He looked the same as before, but now, he seemed like his mood had been lifted and a smug smile was firmly on his face.

Chester was about to greet him, but he was surprised for the second time when he saw the woman who was walking behind Jeremy.

Sherry stared at Chester with wide eyes, surprised that he came out after them. She smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Chester's eyes narrowed in suspicion, and he noticed that lips were slightly red and swollen, her hair was a little messy, and there was a lingering embarrassment in her expression.

He glanced at Jeremy once more, and the smug look on the man's face suddenly made sense.

He understood then why the two of them took so long to return.

"Sherry, get ready now. We are going back to the company." He had a small frown on his face, and he failed to mask the disapproval in his voice, so it sounded lower and colder than usual.

But Sherry seemed lost in a daze and didn't realize it.

She nodded, watching helplessly, as Chester walked into the washroom.

She was about to go back when Jeremy rudely pulled her back and said,

"As for that resignation, you'd better do it as soon as possible."

"No way!" Sherry pouted in irritation and rolled her eyes at him.

Jeremy‘s face darkened, but he couldn't do anything more, and he finally let her pass in case anyone else noticed their disappearance.

After the lunch, Chester and Sherry walked out of the hotel together, while Jeremy walked behind them. He could only watch like an outsider, as they walked side by side, and when he looked at Chester, he felt inexplicably disgusted.

"Mr. Ou, we are going first," Chester said to Jeremy when they were ready to leave.

Jeremy nodded at him, and then he cast a casual look at Sherry and replied, "Go ahead."

Beisy opened the car door for Sherry and Chester, said goodbye to Jeremy, and got into the car.

The Land Rover roared away and left Jeremy standing at the gate of the hotel, but he didn't take his eyes off the car until it was just a dark spot on the horizon.

Even when it was gone, he still stood there, feeling bereft, until Barry called his attention from his own vehicle and opened the rear door for him.
