"I'm kidding. Don't get mad. I was wrong." Grace immediately smiled and continued, "His mother forced us. It's painful for us to live in the Morgan family mansion. I want to move out and live in peace."
"I see you stay at home every day. That's not peace." Sherman poked her forehead, "I know you mind it. I also know you're worried. But this is a reality. Though Charlie doesn't care about you, you're still much better than those who have broken arms and legs and those who get cancer, aren't you?"
Grace nodded her head and picked up her fork, "Can you let me finish my dinner?"
Thinking about what Summer said during lunchtime, Sherman moved her mouth but didn't say anything.
Grace was in a bad mood these days. Sherman didn't want to give her more pressure at this time.
Besides, Summer wasn't sure about it, so it was better t o let it go.
Early the next morning.
Sherman went to the company. She just arrived at the office and the manager called her.
When she walked into the office, the manager looked u p, "There is a contract for you."
"The contract that I'm in charge of is not yet finished and the project is about to start. I can't stand too much work."
The manager smiled, "This is very simple. Both sides have reached an agreement on it. You just need to sign it. You are capable of doing it."
Sherman didn't say anything. 'If what I should do is sign the contract on behalf of the company, why does he give the task to me? Wouldn't it be to my advantage?'
She felt that the manager must not be that kind.
The restaurant he chose was just across the street. There were pizzas, burgers, coffee, milk, etc. After the two of them ordered their lunch, Sherman's phone vibrated. It was a text message from Kingsley. He asked her where she was.
Without thinking much about it, Sherman looked at the name of the restaurant and then texted him.
When Sherman was ready to have lunch, Jepson raised his wine glass and toasted to her. She smiled helplessly and had to raise her glass.
"Actually, I have something to say." Jepson wiped his mouth and gradually blushed, "In fact, I have paid attention to you and fallen in love with you. You are different from other girls. When I am with you, I feel very comfortable and at ease. Different from other girls, you are honest, persistent, tolerant and pretty. I... Let's get together!"
Sherman's hand holding the fork stopped. She froze. She had thought it was just a simple lunch, but she didn't expect him to confess his love to her.
She was a little embarrassed. She thought in her mind how to reject him in a friendly manner without destroying the harmony between colleagues.
