Grace asked Charlie to drive Sherman home, but Sherman politely refused and called a cab.
It was almost ten o'clock when she arrived at the apartment. She had been shopping all day and was indeed tired. She lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Sherman was in a daze. She reached for her phone but saw a missed call.
It was Kingsley...
The fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tremble. Her heartbeat accelerated. She came to her senses, but pretended she didn't see the call.
The day after, Sherman was informed that the company would participate in the bidding for this project.
This meant that she would not be in contact with him anymore. Sherman was relieved, but she felt a little disappointed. She thought she had gone crazy.
The manager asked her to go to his office, "Continue working on this project. You should work harder to contact more with Mr. Wright and say good words to him."
"Isn't the company going to participate in the bidding? " Sherman was puzzled.
However, the manager said angrily, "Yes. The bid plays an important role. The company will not only provide resources for the bid, but also invest a huge amount of money. But the final decision and assessment will be made by Mr. Wright. You have to work harder. As a newcomer, you are lucky to take part in such a big project when you just joined the company..."
Did she ask for the luck? Or, did he force her to accept i t?
At once, Sherman was out of breath. It seemed that the company was imperative to this project.
People who went to the bidding were company representatives. Sherman was forced by her manager t o go along with the representative of the company.
Many companies participated in the bidding with them. It was undeniable that the company did invest a lot in all aspects.
"Hi, Ms. Holmes." Kingsley said in a low, steady and serious voice.
The representative from Sherman's company was a woman in her forties. After freezing for a long time, she pulled Sherman and said, "Is that Mr. Wright?"
Sherman nodded and she could see the amazement in the representative's eyes. No matter where he was, he would always leave an impression on others!
The representative looked back again. Kingsley was standing upright in front of the elevator. His back was wide and strong, which had a sense of oppression. What a perfect man!
It was almost evening, so Sherman and the representative had dinner across the street. They casually chose a restaurant, but the food tasted extremely good.
Sherman didn't eat spicy food in the evening. But she ordered a borscht, which was sour and warm and made her stomach feel good.
Afterwards, the two returned to the building. The representative went to the lobby, while Sherman went to the bathroom.
