Chapter 1315
Shermaine looked at his still–cold face and quickly smiled. “That‘s great. I’m relieved,” she smiled
brightly and spoke in a gentle tone.
She looked remarkably similar to Sylvia.
Odell‘s gaze was stunned for a moment, then he said, “Go out and do your own thing. Don‘t bother
about anything else.”
The words that sounded comforting made Shermaine‘s heart rejoice, but she simply said, “Yes, sir.”
Then, she walked out.
Odell immediately closed his eyes to rest.
Shermaine had saved Madam Carter before and did not seem to have any other thoughts about him.
Sylvia must be overthinking. He had always been strict with his subordinates , but he would not treat
his staff who were serious about their work harshly.
When Secretary Ackerman returned, he would ask the HR department to arrange a more suitable
position for Shermaine.
Two more busy days passed.
That afternoon, at about two o‘clock, a luxury MPV from Glanchester stopped outside the building
entrance.
A young man disembarked from the car.
The man wore a dark gray suit and a pair of gold–rimmed glasses. His figure was straight and slender
while his skin glowed under the sunlight. His features were handsome, and he exuded a noble yet
modest aura around him.
After getting out of the car, he did not rush in but instead reached out toward the rear seat.
Then, he carried out a chubby two–year–old girl who was sleeping
He moved gently, fearing that any sudden movement would wake her up.
Then, he stepped into the building. When the woman working at the reception desk saw him, she
immediately blushed in infatuation, but she maintained her politeness and asked, “May I ask who you
are looking for, sir?”
John smiled and said, “I‘m looking for Master Carter.”
“Do you have an appointment?” “I‘m John Stockton from Glanchester. You can ask his secretary to
pass on the message to him.”
John Stockton? The staff was confused for a moment before coming back to her senses, and she
immediately called the president‘s secretary‘s desk.
Not long after that, she smiled and said to John, “Master Stockton, Master Carter would like you to wait
for a moment. His secretary will come down to pick you up immediately.”
John smiled and nodded.
Soon, the elevator door opened, and a young woman in professional attire walked toward him with
quick steps.
John narrowed his eyes when he saw her pretty face. Shermaine quickly walked up to him and said
with a smile, “This way, Master Stockton.” John glanced at her again. “Sure.” He carried Caprice toward
the elevator.
Once inside , he looked at Shermaine again. His gaze was gentle and polite, but it was unspeakably
sharp and oppressive. After a brief pause, Shermaine could not help but ask,” Master Stockton, why
are you staring at me?” John glanced at her nametag and asked, “Are you and Mrs. Carter related?”
Shermaine‘s gaze flashed as she smiled back at him. “I‘ve met Mrs. Carter a few times. She‘s an
exceptional and beautiful woman, but I have no relationship with her.”
John pursed his lips. His eyes fell on his daughter‘s cute little face, and he did not look at Shermaine
anymore.
Shermaine frowned. ‘Why is the richest man in Glanchester asking me this? Is it because Sylvia and I
resemble each other?‘
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor. John walked out with Caprice in his arms and went straight to
Odell‘s office door, pushing it open. Shermaine stood outside the door and did not follow him.
Odell was handling business in the office. When he heard the sudden movement of the door, he knitted
his brows and looked over with some displeasure. Upon seeing John, he asked, “Why didn‘t you
knock?“
