The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. Sherly stirred, slowly opening her eyes. As her vision adjusted, she took in the unexpected sight that met her gaze—an array of adult toys scattered on the floor. Confusion flickered in her eyes for a moment before the memories of the previous night flooded back.A satisfied smile curled on her lips as she turned her head to the side, and there, lying beside her, was George. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and she couldn't help but appreciate the situation they found themselves in.George stirred as well, his eyes meeting hers. A hint of amusement danced in his gaze as he noticed her expression. "Good morning," he greeted with a playful grin.Sherly chuckled, running a hand through her tousled hair. "Morning. Looks like we had quite a night."He glanced around at the scattered toys, and a sly grin tugged at the corners of his lips. "It seems like it."Sherly laughed, the memorie
Sherly sat in her office at the condo, surrounded by the familiar ambiance of her own space. She was engrossed in going through some reports, looking and reading the intricate web of the underworld's affairs. Even though she only handle information, these kind of things is very common. Especially when she is in the nuetral side.As she is trying to burried herself at work, the phone rang. When she is working, Sherly has no intention of accepting any call. However, when she glanced at the caller ID to find it was her brother, Keisley."Hey, Sherly," Keisley's voice came through the line, making her smile. "We're having dinner at the villa tonight. You should come. It's been a while."Sherly gigles. "What is it's been a while? Didn't we just have a dinner when I let you guys go to the university?" she joked.Keisley, on the other hand, went silent. "Oh, that's not what I mean.""Then what?" Sherly leaned back on her chair."We just wanted to have a dinner with you. Me, Dad, and Big brot
Sherly sat down on her rocking chair in her dimly lit study room. Her rocking chair is making a soft creaking sound.She was closing her eyes as she felt like she wanted to take a rest after a pile of paper work was finished and assorted. The information she had in her mind is now getting more and more aggressive.While resting, her phone on the desk beside her rang. It broke the silence in her study, and she opened her eyes. She calmly picked up the phone and answered it."Hello?" Sherly answered. Her voice was calm but attentive.After all, the number who called her is her client from the underworld. Even though she is calm, it doesn't mean she's okay with her client calling her.The voice on the other line of the call was tense, and the voice was on the edge with frustration as the person on the other end of the call. "Sherly, this is Liang from Rui Lin Mafia," he introduced. We have a problem," he added.Liang is one of the secretaries of the Rui Lin Mafia boss. This man is also w
Hanna tried to justify her actions of betrayal towards Sherly, and Sherly was about to get angry to death. Her eyes narrowed into icy slits as she absorbed Hanna's desperate pleas, her expression a mask of unyielding resolve. With a voice like steel and as cold as ice, she delivered her verdict with chilling finality."Hanna, your family's safety is no concern of mine." Sherly's words cut through the air like a sharpened blade, each syllable dripping with a cold, merciless disdain. She would like to warn Hanna like this to make her tell the truth and show her real self. "They're already abroad, living comfortable lives, thanks to the opportunities I provided when I took you under my wing. But make no mistake—if you thought betraying me would save them, you couldn't be more wrong." She then smiled coldly at Hanna.Those smiles are what people in the underworld hate. The people who saw her like that couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. Right now, it was Hanna who wished that she
After the tense exchange between Sherly and Hanna, Sherly's phone buzzed with a message from George, a welcome distraction from the chaos of the underworld.She had been too stressed out from what happened earlier, and even though she would lose a little since Hanna is a great worker, it's okay for her. After all, it is better not to have someone like Hanna in her own circle."Hey, Sherly," the text read, "I know it's been a rough day, but if you're up for it, how about we grab a drink together? Meet me in front of the mall?"Rough day.Sherly doesn't know how George got to know that he had a rough day, but since the distraction is here, she'll be happy to.Sherly's lips curled into a faint smile. This is the first smile she gave today since the thing happened regarding Hanna.With a sense of relief, she replied, "Sounds good. See you there."She wanted to see him after all. There's nothing wrong with her wanting to see him.Sherly wasted no time preparing. After she took a bath and t
As George pulled up in front of Sherly's condo building, he glanced at her with a warm smile. "Thanks for the great day, Sherly," he said, his voice filled with genuine affection. "I had a really good time."Sherly returned his smile, her heart fluttering with a mixture of happiness and appreciation. "Me too, George," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness. It was because she is now aware of something inside her. "Let's do this again sometime." She then waved her hand.Before she could say anything more, George gave her a quick wave and drove off into the night, leaving Sherly standing alone on the sidewalk outside her building. George did not say anything about his work, but seeing how urgent he looked when he was on his phone, Sherly knew that something had happened in the Rui Lin Mafia. Of course, she knows everything, but for now, she doesn't. It was because she hadn't read the report for today yet. As she watched his car disappear into the distance, a knot of an
As Sherly sank into the plush cushions of her living room sofa, her mind raced with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She stared at the ground as she listened in silence as her brothers continued to ask her a lot of questions about her mysterious date, their voices a relentless barrage of interrogation.She couldn't answer them.But as they pressed her for answers about George—his whereabouts, his occupation, his intentions—Sherly found herself at a loss. Aside from knowing him to be part of the mafia, she knows nothing at all. She realized with a sinking feeling that she knew next to nothing about the man she had spent the day with, the man she felt secure with; aside from the fleeting connection they had shared during their time together, she knew nothing at all."I don't know," she admitted quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. It was as if she wanted to cry. "I don't know anything about him." She then bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself.In front of her brothers, sh
As they sipped their coffee, Kyle glanced at Sherly with a curious expression. "So, Sherly, how's your part-time job going?" he inquired, his tone casual.seriously stiffened, and it was caught by her bristles. However, they did not ask about it.Sherly hesitated for a moment, her mind racing as she debated how much to reveal. She hasn't told them about her real job, and it is better to not tell them in the meantime. "It's been... interesting," she replied cautiously, opting for a vague answer. She raised her head and looked into the eyes of her brothers. "We've had some challenges lately. One of my co-workers tried to sabotage our work, and now everything's a mess." Shrugging her shoulder, she looks like she doesn't care, but her voice is filled with disappointment and anger.Her brothers caught that as well, but they did not ask further about it.Kyle furrowed his brow, his expression thoughtful. He could let his sister make a microexpression, but not this one. "That sounds rough,"
