Carl leaned closer toward Sherry and asked with a giant smile, “Sherry, is there any kind of grudge between the two of you?” “Not yet so far.” Carl looked at Julie angrily stomping away, then he asked in an inexplicable tone, "Then why were you so harsh toward her? It looked like the veins on her face were going to pop.” Sherry took a sip of wine and stated boldly, "I just gave her the taste of her own medicine. I wasn’t expecting such a reaction from her either.” At least she was not as aggressive toward Julie as Madam Stockton was during the last house party. Still, it looked like this approach of pretending to not know Julie at all had a stronger effect than she initially expected. Carl merely smiled at her answer, then he suddenly caught something from the corner of his eyes. Again, he leaned into Sherry and asked, “Sherry, there’s been a few people who have been staring at you since you came in here. Do you know them by any chance?” Sherry asked curiously, “Where

John simply could not resist the urge to get closer to her. He drew in closer until his fair and handsome face was inches away from Sherry’s. Sherry immediately backed away until the back of her head hit the wall. She warned him sternly. “If you kiss me again, I’m going to scream for help for real this time.” He licked his lips and seemed to consider the option. Then, he gently stroked her cheeks with a finger and asked the same question again, “Answer me, what’s your relationship with Carl?" The heat of his palm scalded her face. Sherry was keenly aware of the sudden change in his body temperature. Even his grip around her waist had become forced and filled with temper. She suddenly felt afraid as this man was going to do something reckless to her. She glared at him angrily and answered at last, “A common relationship of a superior and a subordinate.” John leaned closer toward her, one slight movement and his lip would touch hers. "Who’s the superior in this

"It's nothing." John wiped away the gloom in his eyes and instructed, “You can head back by yourself after things wrap up here.” "What about you, aren't you going home?" "I have some other things to deal with, I'll be home later." "All right." … The event was concluded shortly after with no hiccups. After Mr. Carrel addressed the gathering and gave a brief summary, he formally announced the end of the event. Several people went up to him to bid farewell, and they also went up to John. Sherry and Carl were similarly treated with the same amount of respect as groups of people went up to them to say goodbye. After the round of pleasantries, groups of people flocked out of the venue one after another. Since the Sagers were on good terms with Mr. Carrel, Sherry and Carl made sure to go up to Mr. Carrel themselves to say goodbye before leaving. As it turned out, it was exceptionally ill timing since when they approached Mr. Carrel, they noticed John and Julie

Just like that, John’s usual gentlemanly charms returned to him. He looked at Sherry and smiled gently. "Come over here, I promise that I’ll be nice.” Sherry frowned and remained in place. She was very skeptical of his claims. John looked at her without a word, then he took two steps backward. Sherry eased a little at last, she prepared to get out of bed. John rested his hands by his side and eyed her pretty face and figure hungrily. This was not a good place for them to talk, he thought, he should take her somewhere nicer. Ding! That was when the phone went off. It was tucked inside a large coat hung on a rack next to the bed. It was Sherry’s coat. She quickly pried the coat away and grabbed the phone as she darted a cautious and guarded look at John in the middle of all this. It was Carl calling, sounding slightly upset on the phone. “Hey, Sherry. Didn’t you just head up there to get something? What’s taking so long?” Sherry quickly answered, “O

She was vulgar and unfashionable, just like her mother. She took special care to not let her disgust show on her face and wore a gentle, polite smile. She greeted them in a friendly voice, “Mom, Queenie, Little Caprice, I’m home.” Caprice was too focused on her toy excavator and ignored her. Queenie greeted her rather dully, “Hey, you’re home.” Then she immediately turned her attention back to Caprice. Madam Stockton looked behind Julie and asked, “It’s just you, where’s John?” Julie walked up to her and informed her, “He said that he has some other things to deal with, he probably won’t be home so soon.” Madam Stockton nodded and uttered a short “oh”, then she had nothing further to add. She thought that it would be ideal that John took his time. That way, she would have more time to play with Caprice. She went back to playing with Caprice. “There’s one more thing." Julie glanced at Caprice and whispered, "I saw Miss Fowler.” Madam Stockton's expres
