Man, what's wrong with you?

"No matter what happened, you must tell me the truth about who hurt you. You can trust me," said Linda. She placed a hand on Sherry's shoulder, meeting her eyes with a look of sincerity.

Sherry felt a warmth enveloping her heart. It was pleasant to realize that no matter what troubles she went through, there was always someone on her side ready to support her no matter what.

Linda couldn't help her solve her problems, but it was enough for her to be there as her best friend while she was sad.

"Thank you, Linda," Sherry said in a low voice.

Linda leaned forward and put an arm around Sherry's neck. "Don't thank me, Sherry. You're my best friend. I'll stand by your side no matter what."

Sherry nodded and gave her a slight grin. "By the way, since you've been assigned to work with me, you have to take your work very seriously. I'm a really strict manager, you know."

Linda rolled her eyes. "You don't have to remind me what a workaholic you are. Hey, I just read the contracts, and I saw that you have two cases at the same time—one is the Ou Group, and the other is the Song Group. Did Jeremy arrange that on purpose?"

Sherry's smile turned brittle. "You already know the answer. Jeremy always has an ulterior motive for doing things."

Linda was outraged on her best friend's behalf. "Jeremy is way out of line! If he sabotages you at work, you must expose him. Don't sacrifice your career to protect him!" she exclaimed, giving Sherry a ferocious look.

"It's all right," Sherry said with a sigh. "I know how to deal with him."

She now had a very heavy workload.

Sherry had already asked for a few days off. With the deadline approaching, she had barely made any headway with her work. Fortunately, Steve had said she could postpone her deadlines for the Song Group for a few days.
