Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 36 Be My Female Companion

As Jeremy looked at the door that had been slammed shut, he grew furious. He decided to take it out on Jessie.

"Who allowed you to come here?" The cold look on Jeremy's face made Jessie's heart shiver in fear. Swallowing hard, she stammered, "It's just that I haven't seen you in days. Every time I come here, you're always so busy. I just wanted to see you..."

Jeremy's shirt was still disheveled so Jessie approached him to help him straighten out his shirt, biting her lips in anxiousness. In response, Jeremy harshly clutched her hand.

"From now on, you stay away from me!" With that, Jeremy slapped her hand away as he went to his desk.

Jessie had always found Jeremy hard to read. He wasn't really the type to submit to women. She knew if she continued to be aggressive, Jeremy would just push her away.

"Got it," she murmured.

As she was about to leave, she heard a voice from behind. "It's almost dinner time. What do you want to eat?"

She turned around and looked at him excitedly. He was still sitting at his desk, perusing through some documents. It seemed that even though he still had a lot of work to do, he wasn't angry anymore much to her relief. Still, she couldn't forget how scary he had just been a moment ago.

Jeremy still seemed preoccupied by the documents that Sherry had sent. After reading through the draft of her advertising plan, he couldn't help but sigh. It looked like he had underestimated Sherry.

She had just been hiding her true capabilities all this time.

At this point, Jeremy wasn't even paying attention to Jessie anymore. He concentrated on the documents, reading every word carefully. After all, Sherry had worked hard on this.

After Sherry lingered in the bathroom for a while, she finally left the Ou Group building.

As usual, Sherry looked elegant as ever. She hailed a taxi by the roadside and as soon as she got inside, her phone started ringing.

She checked her phone only to find that it was Steve who was calling her.

She always became a little irked whenever she saw or talked to anyone who was related to Jeremy.

However, she knew she couldn't just ignore the call since Steve was a client of the SZ Advertising Company. She couldn't afford to compromise her work as she didn't want Langston to treat her any worse than he already was.

Inhaling a deep breath, she put the phone against her ear as she answered, "Hello, Mr. Song."

"Hello, Miss Xu," Steve replied calmly, trying to restrain his excitement. "I wanted to talk to you about the details of the advertising plan."

When Sherry glanced at her phone, she wondered to herself, 'I thought someone else is in charge of this now? Didn't Langston talk to Steve?'

"I'm sorry. Director Langston has already asked my other colleagues to take over the case," Sherry said politely.
