Chapter 39 Preparedness
Sherry felt like her consciousness was blurring at this point.
She barely managed to squeeze out, “Mr. Swift don’t worry, people like me don’t die early.”
A doorbell rang at the door.
“Excuse me, customer, we have found a thief in the shop, have you seen anyone suspicious?”
Aaron frowned suddenly but didn’t even look at Sherry and simply returned, “No.”
His voice was cold and appalling.
Sherry is nothing more than a woman with a complicated mind, and no matter how far she gets, there are some things that she will not do.
For example, stealing.
“Guest, can we come in and have a look if we can?”
The man pressed on.
“Guest, if it’s not convenient for you, you can change first and we can wait.”
“A guest?”
There was one knock on the door after another.
“We’re going to use the spare access card to get in now.”
Then, without saying a word, they simply swiped their cards and broke in hard.
Outside, the curtains were drawn and all that could be heard was the sound of water coming from the bathroom, while a man in a bathrobe sat on the bed, the bed covers in disarray and the suits on the floor … in a nice charming and romantic atmosphere.
“Mr. Swift! I’m so sorry, we didn’t know you were the guest in this room.” The hotel manager, who had arrived from behind, immediately dragged the men to a halt.
“Are you crazy to break into Mr. Swift’s room?”
“But there’s no other way but to run here, and the watch Mr. Carter lost cost a lot of money.”
The hotel manager gave the man a quick wink, “Come on, is Mr. Swift going to cover for anyone else? Get out of here.”
“Excuse us, Mr. Swift, we are leaving, and all purchases made tonight are the responsibility of this hotel.”
“Stand still.”
Aaron spoke coldly, “Which one is this Mr. Carter you speak of?”
“This … is not something we can just reveal on the part of the hotel in terms of guest privacy either.” The hotel manager apologized again and again, stiffened up against the pressure and retreated from the room.
Then scolded the men severely.
“Can you break into Mr. Swift’s room, even if it’s valuable? You don’t want to die!”
“But was there a woman in his room?” Someone whispered, “What if it was the thief?”
The hotel manager glared at the eyeless employee, “That’s not for us to ask.”
Meanwhile, in room 668, a mess was made.
Jefferson clutched his phone and whispered, “I get it, I’ll delete all evidence and leave Night Group immediately.”
He had wanted to dispose of Sherry quietly.
I didn’t expect to get into so much trouble. That woman is really fighting for Aaron’s company.
He had climbed that big tree and even if something happened, he didn’t need to be afraid of Aaron.
Meanwhile, Aaron stood outside the bathroom door.
The hand lifts and pushes the door open straight away.
“Come out.”
Sherry’s wound had been briefly treated and was no longer bleeding, but her face was still pale as she moved, slowly, into the room.
“Say, who is it?” His harsh gaze was fixed on her.
She was in the bathroom, and with the sound of the water, she couldn’t really hear what was going on outside, so Sherry’s heart skipped a beat when Aaron asked.
“I didn’t get a good look at the man’s face.”
She was telling the truth.
The man had attacked her from behind, and although she could guess that it was related to Jefferson, she had no proof.
With her as a human witness, Aaron wouldn’t believe it.
The man lifted a finger to his brow and snorted helplessly, “You don’t even know who he is and you’re here with him?” Sherry, you’re a real bitch.
He should never have protected her!
The woman stood in front of him, slowly lowering her head in silence.
Any more explanations would only seem like sophistry in front of him.
“Fine, I don’t want to care about your business anyway, just pretend I never saw you tonight and get the hell out. “She doesn’t know how to be grateful, and he doesn’t have to care about her.
Sherry’s clothes were soaking wet and there was no way to get out like that.
She hesitated and gritted her teeth, “Can I borrow a bathrobe?”
Before the words were out of his mouth, there was another knock at the door.
Aaron’s gaze grew much colder again, and the next second, another robe was placed over Sherry’s head, wrapped tightly from head to toe, and before she could react, she was thrown under the covers by Aaron.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door opening.
Sherry was so wrapped up in the blanket that she couldn’t breathe.
The room was filled with Gregorio’s questioning voice, “Let the woman out, you’re doing this without my sister’s knowledge, you …”
“What did I do?”
Aaron put on his shirt and his face was cold, “You can go to the front desk of the hotel and check my check-in record or you can go in and search it right now, but I’ll say it up front, if you don’t find anything, how are you going to end it?”
His words grew slower and slower.
The last few words fell dead on Gregorio’s ears.
Indeed, the relationship between the two families is already somewhat on thin ice, and any further misunderstanding would be really ugly.
“Heh, I clearly saw Sherry get into the lift with a man, wasn’t it you?” Gregorio muttered in a small voice with a furrowed brow.
Aaron raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and without looking at the two stacks of quilts on the bed, he simply closed the door.
“Gregorio go see a doctor if you have bad eyes, if I do take a woman into a hotel, will you catch me?” Aaron’s tone was unpleasant and he marched straight away, half-heartedly.
Gregorio stood still, staring at the door for a long time, and said in a fierce voice, “Aaron, you’re tough.”
He eventually gave up on the idea of going in to check it out; Aaron’s status was there and there really was no need to be so biased towards anyone.
Even that Sherry.
Aaron got into his car in the underground car park and instructed Eral, “Prepare a woman’s outfit and send it up.”
Eral was surprised at first, but responded in an instant.
“Yes.”
Aaron’s orders, he simply did as he was told.
The room was quiet as Sherry changed into the clothes Eral had sent her and left the hotel in the spare lift that no one had taken.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She didn’t end up spilling the beans about that message.
Jefferson had the courage to set her up in such a way that she was sure of success, and in a place like this, no one would believe her.
The situation within the Night Group was more complicated than she had imagined.
Someone, too, is secretly watching Aaron’s every move.
Sherry returned home with a mixed feeling and bought a little medicine for bandaging at the pharmacy and reapplied it.
The clothes Aaron sent her, right in front of her, were luxury items, fancy items that she could not afford.
Should she gamble for once that he would take her word for it?
In a trance, a certain image came to her mind.
They had just finished class that day and Monica was clutching a pile of papers and complaining to her about the teaching assistants who were picking on her.
“If my brother were here, he would not be able to put up with those people, who bully the weak and have such bad hearts.”
Sherry added with a smile, “That’s because you’re his sister and he certainly wouldn’t want to put you through the wringer, not if it were anyone else.”
Monica’s pretty eyes blinked and she shook her head, “No way, although my brother looks cold, he actually cares about people, some day, I’ll introduce you to each other.”
LOL.
The sound of branches being blown away by the wind outside the window sounded harshly.
Sherry withdrew her thoughts and put the dress in the deepest part of the cupboard, as determined as she was at the moment, she hadn’t joined Night Group to spend the rest of her life tangled up with Aaron.
Counting the hours, it’s time to move.
