Farida was taken away by Pacey, under the envious sights of other girls.

"Come in."

Pacey took her to one of his apartments, which was elegantly decorated and luxurious.

Farida entered and asked tentatively, "Is Sherry at home?"

Pacey, taking out a glass and a bottle of wine from the cabinet, glanced at her with a smile: "She doesn't live in such a place."

It's just an apartment. She deserves a better place.

Hearing this, Farida blushed and asked him cautiously, "That's not what I mean. I was just afraid...Sherry would be unhappy if she saw you took me home."

Pacey leaned on the sofa, swaying the wine glass with his slender fingers, sniffing the wine, and screwed up his eyes. He said: "Another woman was living here this morning, who was sent to a red light district in another country. Do you know why?"

Another woman?

Farida was stunned: "W......Why?"

Pacey sipped the wine\ with his thin lips, and the sweetness of the wine spread in his mouth "Because she disturbed Sherry's tranquility."

Suddenly, Farida felt creepy. She forced a smile.

Pacey waved his hand slightly letting her sit down: "Tell me about you."

Farida lowered her head and said: "My father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while working the year I graduated. Although he was cured, he spent all the family savings. My mother is in poor health and has no financial resources. All these years, my father was the only one who supported the whole family. Now, not only can he not work hard, but he also has to spend a lot of money on treatment every month. I ... I have no choice but to work in the Hyatt Club.”

She looked at the man in front of her with hope and anxiety as if he was her salvation.

Pacey didn't say anything, and Farida approached him cautiously, resting her head on his shoulder: "Pacey, help me."

Pacey raised his hand, touching her hair, and said something inexplicable. He said, "You have a pair of beautiful eyes."

She looked a lot like her.

Farida didn’t understand his words. Just then, Pacey's phone rang.

It was Sherry calling.

Pacey paused for a moment, put his finger on Farida's lips, and answered the phone.

Farida knew what that meant, and she kept quiet. She knew that she didn't have the qualification to say not.

"Sherry~~"

No matter how many years have passed, every time he called out her name, his voice was full of tenderness, which was exactly the same as when Farida witnessed their love in the college.

Farida was jealous of Sherry, but she didn’t show it.

Both of them were women, but she almost sell her body for a living, while Sherry was held in the palm of Pacey's hand.

"Pacey, are you still on your work? Tonight..."

"There's a meeting at night. I won’t go back if it's too late." Pacey said.

After hearing his words, Sherry, who was picking ingredients in the supermarket, paused for a moment. She never played a petty temper when it came to Pacey’s work. If he said he had work to do, no matter what she wanted to say, she could only reply to him: "Don't be too late. Take care of yourself...I'll bring you the dinner."

She had nothing to do at home, and she hadn't stepped into the company for a long, long time.

Pacey withdrew his fingers from Farida's lips, "There is no need to do this. I'll be distracted if you’re here."

He was very good at saying sweet words, especially to her. Otherwise, he couldn’t cajole her in those days.

After hanging up, Sherry in the supermarket looked at the food in her shopping cart and didn't want to continue shopping. She accidentally knocked over something on the shelf around the corner. When she bent down to pick it up, darkness came over her eyes.

She thought it was just hypoglycemia and didn't mind it, but as soon as she stood up, her head spins dizzily.

The thing in her hand fell and she fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?"

"Help! Somebody has passed out!"

Her mobile phone lay beside her, but they couldn't unlock it and contact her family. So people called 911 and sent Sherry who was in a coma to the hospital.

When Sherry awakened, it was completely dark outside the window.

"You finally awakened."

When she woke up, the first thing she saw was a young nurse.

"If you don't wake up, I'll ask a doctor to give you a full medical check-up." Said the nurse.

Sherry propped up and sat by the bed, massaging her temples with fingers, recalling what happened before she was unconscious: "What has been happening to me?"

"Dizziness caused by hypoglycemia, but you are in a serious condition. You have been unconscious for several hours. If possible, you'd better have a full medical check-up tomorrow to see if there are any other problems."

She suffered from hypoglycemia when she was a student. Many thin girls get this disease more or less. When they squat down and get up suddenly, they go black and can't see anything.

She knew she had the disease. When she was a child, she was malnourished. Later...she started a business with Pacey; because of this, her diet was irregular, and her hypoglycemia was even more serious.

She thanked the nurse for her kindness and went home after paying the infusion fee.

Pacey didn't come back that night.

Sherry sent him a message, telling him not to work too late and have a good rest.

However, she didn't get his reply.

The next day was their third wedding anniversary.

Sherry received a call from one of her former subordinates, "GM Sherry..."

Sherry closed the book in her hand and smiled: "Adam, I am not GM anymore."

Adam Green: "...Sorry. How've you been recent?"

"Well, I'm fine. How are things going with your work? After two years, your voice sounds much more sedate, and you are no longer so reckless as you used to be."

Adam smiled when they mentioned the past, but that's exactly why he's making this call today.

"Without the support of you, I would not be me today. Everyone misses you very much." His words are full of gratitude and...sorry.

Many older employees felt that the Group when Sherry was still there was the real Sherry-Grant Group. The Group has been changed since Sherry left. Now, Pacey decides everything on his own without listing to the employee's suggestions.

Sherry shook her head. She never took credit.

Adam paused and tried to bring the topic to Pacey: "After you resigned, Pacey took full charge of Sherry-Grant Group and engage in a lot more social activities. Some time ago, there was...... a woman. As you know...... Pacey is a young and rich man. Sherry, you should pay more attention to him."

He has made her words clear enough. If he didn't really appreciate her kindness, he wouldn't be involved in this trouble. After all, everyone knew that outsiders should keep away from other people's family affairs, otherwise they would end up in an awkward situation.

Sherry paused for a second and said, "He is not that kind of person."

He said that she is his only love in the world.

What's more, at the beginning of their start-up, there was a daughter of a real estate tycoon like Pacey. Everyone knew that this was a good opportunity, but Pacey refused her.

Sherry met that girl. She was a young, beautiful, knowledgeable, and elegant girl from a decent family.

When Pacey had nothing, he would rather work to death for the business than break up with Sherry and marry the daughter of the real estate tycoon. Now that the Group was thriving and they had achieved financial success, how could Sherry believe that Pacey cheated on her?

Her words made Adam silent for a long time. He suddenly wondered if he should not have called her in the first place.

Sherry wasn't in charge of the business anymore and enjoyed being a housewife. In her eyes, Pacey was always the young man she loved. Wasn't it cruel of him to try to debunk this illusion?

"Sherry..."

When Adam was about to talk to her again, a hand grabbed him from his back and hanged up his phone.

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!".
