On the other end of the line, her mother asked, "Sherry, are you working again?"
Sherry replied hesitantly, "Ah... yes, what else can I do if I don't work?"
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Sherry looked back at the man walking towards her and quickly took
back her gaze. "Mom, I'm busy. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'll call you back in the evening."
Mrs. Perry said, "Okay, go ahead with your work. Your dad and I will arrive soon. When you're done,
call your friend and we'll have lunch together."
"Wait! “Sherry quickly asked, "Have you arrived in City N?"
"Yes, your father has a friend whose daughter is getting married, so we come here to attend the
wedding and pay you a visit by the way." Mrs. Perry continued, "Aren't you busy? Don't worry about us.
We know the way. We won't hold you up."
Even when the call went through, Sherry was still in a shocked state.
Daniel squatted before her. Before he could utter a word, Sherry abruptly stood up and searched for
her clothes. At the same time, she muttered, "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die..."
Daniel glanced to the side and picked up the bra on the floor and handed it to her.
Sherry paused for a second, but she didn't have time to be embarrassed. She reached out to take it
and put it on directly in front of him.
When Sherry was busy finding clothes and putting them on, Daniel had already picked his clothes up
from the ground, neatly dressed, and stood at the door to wait for her.
After putting on her shoes, Sherry saw that he was leaning against the wall and pretended to be ready
to leave at any time. She asked, "What are you doing?"
Daniel replied frankly, "I'll go with you."
Sherry refused repeatedly, "Don't go. What are you doing? My mother will beat me to death if she sees
you!"
"Rest assured, I will block her for you."
Sherry ignored him and ran downstairs to take a taxi with her mobile phone. She was as anxious as on
a hot pan.
Daniel, however, did not understand why she was so nervous. He said slowly, "Tell your mother directly
that you're going to shoot a scene, and then send a message to Ms. Radomil."
It seemed to make sense.
However—
She slowly turned around to look at Daniel, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Daniel was confused.
And he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Sherry calmed down in an instant. She took out her mobile phone and texted Stella while saying, "You
are so experienced. You must have used this trick on girls many times before, huh?"
The atmosphere became strange in an instant.
He licked his lips and stepped forward to explain, "That's not what I meant..."
Before Daniel could finish his words, Sherry had already hailed a cab. She bent down to get into the
cab and slammed the door shut.
OMG!
The efforts during this time would go in vain.
Daniel had one hand on his waist as he looked in the direction that the taxi had left. A look of regret
appeared on his face.
In the workshop, as soon as Stella received Sherry's text message, a young girl came to knock on the
door. "Ms. Radomil, there is a couple saying that they are here for Sherry."
Stella immediately got up and walked out of the door. "I see. Go get some water."
"Sure."
Stella walked to the door and saw Sherry's parents standing there. She walked over and said, "Hello,
Mr. and Mrs. Perry. I'm a friend of Sherry."
Mrs. Perry was looking around the studio. When she heard Stella's voice, she immediately looked
away. When she looked at her, her face was full of smiles. She grabbed her hand warmly and said,
"You must be Stella. Sherry has told me a lot about you. She is alone in City N. Thank you for taking
care of her."
Stella said with a smile, "Auntie, don't say that. Sherry is the one who's taking care of me."
Mrs. Perry said, "You’re friends. She shall do that."
Stella nodded, "Yes."
She said again, "Auntie, Uncle, let's go in and sit for a while. Sherry went to shoot the scene and it will
take a while for him to come back."
Mr. Perry responded repeatedly. Mrs. Perry looked at the continuous rain outside and felt a little
distressed. She sighed and said, "Why was she still going out to shoot in the weather at this time?"
...
Perhaps Sherry was so anxious that she completely forgot that it was raining outside today.
Stella continued without any change in expression, "Auntie, they were filming in the shed. It wouldn't
get wet."
Mrs. Perry heaved a sigh of relief and smiled again. "That's good. Let's talk inside."
Stella took them to the lounge.
Mrs. Perry had been holding Stella's hand since she appreciated Stella so much.
Then she said, " How beautiful and capable you are! Do you have a boyfriend? Sherry has a cousin
who is a handsome man. What do you think?"
"Auntie, I'm married..."
"Oh. Sherry had told me about it. Look at my bad memory." Mrs. Perry patted her head and sighed,
"Well, it's good for you to marry at the right age and have children. Sherry was always stubborn and
said that it's nice to be single. Oh! But when she's old and sick, who's gonna look after her?!"
Without waiting for Stella to reply, Mrs. Perry continued, "Hey, Stella, do you have anyone suitable to
introduce to Sherry? The conditions don't have to be too good. The most important thing is to be steady
and good to Sherry. In this way, me and her father won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our
lives."
Mr. Perry, who had been nodding, wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Have you
forgotten Daniel?"
But Mrs. Perry glared at him, so he stopped talking and picked up the teacup to drink.
Under Mrs. Perry's expectant gaze, Stella said after a moment of silence, "Actually... I also have an
elder brother."
When Mrs. Perry heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. "That's good. You are bestie, and if she marries
your brother again, won't you be closer friends for a lifetime?"
Stella nodded and said, "I think so too."
Mrs. Perry patted Stella's hand solemnly and reminded her, "Stella, I'll leave this matter to you. Take it
to heart..."
"Mom!"
Sherry finally appeared at the door, gasping for breath.
Mrs. Perry suddenly stopped talking. Obviously, she knew that Sherry didn't like her mentioning these
things, so she just gave Stella a look.
If Sherry's mother knew that she was referring to Daniel, she would probably blacklist her overnight.
Stella did not dare to stay any longer. She stood up guiltily and said to Sherry, "Sherry, it's your time
with your parents. I have something to do."
"You can go." Sherry replied.
After Stella left, Sherry went to pull her mother and took their luggage. "You must be tired after flying all
the way here. I'll take you to the hotel."
