Before the meeting even finished, Sherry gobbled up more than half of the food on the table. Empty plates and beer cans were stacked in pillars in front of her. Mr. Clarkson and his men were distracted by her eating manners in the midst of discussing the details with Peter. Sherry was munching on a lamb chop when she sensed their gazes. A quick pause later, she said, “Go on, don’t mind me.” Why would they look at her? She was just there to carry the briefcase, after all. The men then looked at John with Mr. Clarkson wearing an awkward smile. “Master Stockton, we’ve been talking for a while now, and we haven’t learned who this lady is.” John glanced at Sherry. “Just a maid here to carry my briefcase.” Mr. Clarkson was stunned. He thought that Sherry was either John’s secretary or wife, or even his secret lover. He never expected her to be just a maid, and one without any countenance or behavior of a maid. Mr. Clarkson put his questions aside. This meeting was to get John t

John refused to release her hand. He smiled and said, “I’m fine with the stain.” Sherry pouted. She looked at the briefcase and wanted to open it, but before she could touch the zipper, it was snatched away. She glared at him, and he did the same to her. “You have until the count to three to get out, or you will be coming to the office with me.” Sherry sulked in grievance and immediately left the car. She slammed the door shut right after she got out. John grinned after she left. He opened his briefcase, and the smell of roasted meat filled the car. His briefcase was stuffed with all sorts of food, including steak wrapped in aluminum paper, fried chicken, and even three cans of beer. Stunned by the amount of food that she had stuffed into the briefcase, John went silent for a moment before he chuckled and put it aside. “Let’s go.” The car drove off. Along the way, in the passenger seat, Peter subtly glanced in the rearview mirror. As a matter of fact, as soon as Joh

Shannon went after her, stopped her, and nervously asked, “Where did John bring you? What did you two do outside?” Sherry pouted. “Shannon, why do you think I have to go out with him?” Shannon’s gaze shifted. She widened her eyes and continued questioning, “Where did you two go?” Sherry just wanted to sleep, so she simply said, “We attended a meeting at a restaurant.” Shannon’s gaze turned cold. “He brought you to a meeting?” Sherry failed to understand why she was so mad. “Yeah. I was there just to hold his briefcase. What’s wrong with that?” Shannon continued to glare at her. “How did he introduce you to the others?” Sherry finally knew what Shannon was trying to do. Shannon must be afraid that she wrongfully flaunted the title of Mrs. Stockton. Sherry honestly said, “He said that I was the maid.” Shannon’s frosty expression eased up a little, but her eyes remained widened. “Sherry, you'd better not step out of line. Know your place. If you dare to even think of Joh

Sherry returned to her quarters, washed up, and went to bed. She instinctively reached out for her phone under her pillow. Her phone was usually turned off, so when she turned it off, she saw a text from Sylvia. The texts had come earlier in the day, asking her how she was doing in the Stocktons' residence. The text was brief but was not short of care and love from her friend. Sherry curled her lips as her friend’s caring text washed her grievance away. “I’m great, Syl. I got a lot more freedom compared to the past year. Though I still can’t go out of the compound, I can walk around wherever I want.” She assumed Sylvia was already asleep at this hour, so she put her phone away after hitting "send". To her surprise, her phone buzzed. “Sherry, did John do anything to you?” Sylvia replied almost immediately. Sherry smiled. “No. He just likes to order me around. There's no more ravaging me whatsoever. He ordered me to hold his briefcase for a meeting just now, and I got to

After a dreamless night in the dorm, Sherry was woken by Emerence’s shouting again. She cleaned up quickly, grabbed two buns in the cafeteria, and went straight to John’s place. John did not come back after he left for his office last night. Sherry only spotted Shannon with a grumpy expression and Celine who stood by her side cautiously when she came. She simply glanced at them and went out of the house. With her hands pocketed, she wanted to have a stroll around the yard. While she was enjoying her stroll, she ran into Julie and Queenie in the garden. However, Sherry glanced at them and continued forward. Queenie snapped, “Sherry, can you see us?” Sherry said, “Yeah. What’s wrong?” Queenie was rendered speechless for a moment. She then said, “Then, why didn’t you greet us?” Sherry pursed her lips. It seemed like the girl really enjoyed giving her a difficult time whenever they met. Before Sherry could argue, Julie stepped in with a smile. “Queenie, don’t be rude.”

It was a fact that her own family disliked her. Julie tightened her lips. She curled her lips into a smile and said, “If you’re not bothered by it, that’s great. But if you need any help, just tell me. John cares about you, which makes you my friend. If I can do anything to help, I will do anything within my capabilities.” Although Sherry did not know why Julie approached her with goodwill, she put on a polite expression and thanked her. “Well, thank you in advance, Julie.” Julie said, “Don’t mention it.” Sherry then walked off without pause. The Stocktons' residence was huge, bigger than Sherry could imagine. The gardens alone were a few times bigger than a common house outside. She took a long stroll around the garden before she came back. Because her stomach was growling in hunger, she wanted to search for something to eat, but she accidentally arrived at Queenie’s place where she saw Queenie helping herself to a table of snacks and pastries. It was a feast for the g

The maids stood in a single line with Emerence talking sternly in the front. It seemed serious, so Sherry stayed outside and listened. Basically, the meeting was about the event that would be held the next day in the Stocktons' banquet hall. Madam Stockton was starting a charity organization, and many guests were invited to discuss their agenda. It was considered a social event for their guests to mingle. The maids in line were the ones responsible for working at the event tomorrow. Emerence went through the details with them again and again, emphasizing many things on the agenda, and even requested them to memorize all the guests’ names. All the names she read out were strangers to Sherry except for one: Mason Brown. The meeting lasted for half an hour. Before dispersing the maids, Emerence gave one last piece of reminder, “Be prepared. Madam Stockton regards the event highly. No one is allowed to make any mistakes.” “We understand, Aunt Emerence,” the maid answered en

He was always either busy with work, or had to deal with something urgent, whatever that may be! Whenever he came back, he arranged his schedule so that he would return as soon as Sherry was finished with his shift! It could not be any more obvious that he was only coming home to see Sherry, the damned bitch! When Shannon thought of this, she rose to her feet and swept everything off the table, sending them crashing to the floor. Celine was aghast and quickly rushed forward, “Miss, be careful! Don't hurt yourself—" Smack! Before she could finish cautioning Shannon, she received a blow across her face, accompanied by a stern roar. “Get out!” Celine could not believe what happened. She put a hand to her cheeks and quickly walked away with tears in her eyes. Shannon continued causing havoc in the dining room before stomping away. She clasped her hands with a sinister glow in her eyes. She had to do something to remove Sherry from the picture! … Sherry went to

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
