A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 38: Stunning

In the first class cabin of the plane.

Sherry looked very calm like nothing happened on the day before, and that actually surprised William.

Sherry fell asleep in her conservative suit.

She was all dull grey and looked so boring.

But it's good too... She's firm and it increased his expectations.

Sherry, letting you be his woman meant that you'd also need to bear the pressure that William's woman should bear.

He hoped that she'd be able to endure the test!

Because that's the only way she'd be able to endure the old man's test.

While thinking, William silently smiled until Liam bumped his arm.

William frowned.

Liam felt strange. They didn't even have any meeting the day before, and once he went to work that day William told him to go for the business trip.

Furthermore, the business trip was to the faraway Korea, "Will, are you sure this business trip is not just your improvisation?"

William turned his face around and looked at Liam's handsome face.

William kept staring at him until he unexpectedly almost felt guilty.

"Will, why are you looking at me like that? You'll make me feel like you fell in love with me!" Liam joked and winked.

He was still looking at William calmly.

"Which one of us is the CEO?" William coldly said that.

He glanced sideways at Liam. As expected, he's dying to stir up troubles, "She fell asleep, shut up!”

“will, you're so gentle!” Liam lowered his voice and peeked at Sherry, who was not far from him, "Sherry fell asleep! It's fine!”

"Shut up!"

“Will, those two words almost become your catchphrase. You're just afraid I might say something, right? Don't worry, I absolutely won't speak carelessly... I won't tell Sherry that you fancy her!” Liam smiled, there's a slightly strange look coming out from his beautiful eyes, "Sherry that fell asleep is the truest Sherry. Look, she’s so cute when sleeping!”

William's face looked cold. His cold gaze swept across Liam, “You're very vulgar!"

"You're such a bully too!" Liam talked back.

Sherry woke up because of their voices.

Once she opened her eyes and saw them looking at her, she was slightly surprised that she immediately sat up straight, “Mr. Rowland, Mr. Brooks!"

"Sherry! Did we really wake you up?" Liam smiled without any guilt, “Don't sleep, you can sleep at the hotel later. It's too uncomfortable here, if you're really sleepy...Come, sleep in my arms!"

Sherry suddenly blushed. She didn't even have the guts to raise her head.

She just responded vaguely, "M-Mr. Brooks, your jokes aren't funny at all.”

"Haha, you're really cute.” Liam laughed out loud because she looked so serious.

William remained silent but his gaze tightened, “Shut up, the plane is full of your laugh, aren't you disgusted?"

Seoul, Korea.

"Mr. Rowland, the data is ready”

On that business trip, William planned to cooperate with a company from Korea for a new project.

Of course, it's a cooperation with South Korea's Huier company.

"Yes!" William nodded, "Got it!”

Of course, they went there mainly to participate in the commercial activity.

Actually, William's main purpose of bringing Sherry was to relieve his boredom.

Of course, under the guide of work matters, he also brought Liam with them.

He's just afraid that she wouldn't go with him!

That day, she cried so brokenhearted that his heart became softer too.

"There's a commercial activity tonight, you have to be my female partner!" William glanced at Sherry after receiving the data.

"Should I also be present there?" Sherry asked in suspicion.

"Ves!"

"Can I be absent?”

“It's your job!” William sounded very cold.

“Oh”

"Someone will style you later!” while saying that, someone really pressed the suite room's bell.

William stood up, "Let's go!"

The Stylist was very skillful, Sherry that came out of the dressing room really surprised William.

The tight-fitting off-the-shoulder dress with the glittering diamond necklace made her look so innocent and sexy at the same time.

It's really strange that innocence and sexiness appeared on a woman at the same time.

But surprisingly, Sherry did give people those vibes.

Her hair was rolled up high, revealing her white and slender neck.

It also made the pair of gem earrings on her ears shine dazzlingly.

"M-Mr. Rowland! It's very awkward!" Sherry almost cried, “This heels are too high, I want to wear flat shoes... No, I can't even walk!"

As soon as she took a step, her feet trembled.

Sherry fell into William's arms in confusion, “Ah...”

William seized the opportunity to hook her slender waist.

He really liked the feeling of Sherry throwing herself into his arms.

“It's not too high” he looked down at her heels, "It's only 3-4cm, and you still say it's high?"

"No, Mr. Rowland, I can't wear it!" Sherry was really speechless at the thought of wearing shoes being a part of her job, "I'll just wear the flat shoes!”

"Miss, dresses should be paired with high heels!" the Stylist stepped forward and said “You look really beautiful in this dress, very beautiful!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sherry blushed, "But I really can't walk!"

"I'll support you!" William smiled weirdly, "Then you have no choice but to reply on me tonight.

"Get your hands off.” Sherry couldn't help grinding her teeth.

Goddamn! Why should it be a strapless evening dress?

He even openly put his hands on her waist!

He shrugged and took his hands off her obediently, “Are you sure you don't my support?”

“l can walk on my own!” Sherry gritted her teeth and said that.

Sherry wouldn't let him seize the chance to flirt on her.

Without any straps on her shoulders, it felt so chilly.

She kept worrying that her clothes might fall off.

She didn't wear anything inside it, so if it fell... She'd be so embarrassed.

Sherry staggered again after taking another step.

William stood a meter away and said, “Are you sure you don't want me to support you?”

"No need!" she kept moving, "Let's go!"

William and Liam bringing their own female partners created a huge uproar at the scene.

Many Korean politicians and business celebrities came over to greet and get some connections.

When everyone saw his female partner beside him, they looked surprised and envious at the same time.

There's also a woman beside Liam, who was wearing a little purple dress.

Sherry didn't recognize that woman, but her temperament was very similar to Liam's, very beautiful.

Sherry exuded an elegant and innocent temperament with her shy smile.

Once she saw so many people, she immediately felt uncomfortable.

She wasn't used to being the center of attention.

She felt like she's going to flare up because of their gazes. Her smile slowly became stiff too.

Sherry tugged William's suit's sleeves and whispered, "Mr. Rowland, when can we leave?”

She felt dizzier after hearing William and the Korean businessmen complimenting each other and discussing businesses.

William glanced at her, he also closed in and whispered, "We will dance the first opening dance. You wouldn't want to leave before coming, right?"

Opening dance? Sherry felt her legs getting weak.

She couldn't dance, it'd be so embarrassing!

"What's wrong?”

Seeing how she suddenly looked stiff, William closed in and asked.

“I can't dance!" she grabbed his arms tightly.

She was so anxious that her face flushed red, “What should I do?"

Hearing that, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

After he was taken aback, he immediately returned to normal.

He smiled so charmingly and said, "It's fine, I'm here. Just follow my dance!"

"Mr. Rowland, I have no idea about dancing. You can dance by yourself! Goodbye!” she's not an important figure anyway. Why

should she be present in such commercial party?

"You really think you can run?" William blew Sherry's ear, "You're too naive. Come on dance! The music is starting!”

"You're killing me” that night might just be the most embarrassing night of her life.

As expected, the upper class society was not the place for people like her.

Everyone looked at William and Sherry.

Especially the female partner beside Liam.

Once she saw William whispering in Sherry's ears, she immediately pulled Liam's arm, "Liam, is she William's girlfriend?"

“I'm afraid you have to ask her about that!" Liam kept her guessing.

However, he didn't know either whether Sherry was William's girlfriend or not.

Because William didn't say so!

William looked like he's really good at flirting with his female partner.

The thoughts of love in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

He also whispered intimately to her, and no one knew what did he say that made Sherry blush at that moment.

When the music started, the prince and princess of everyone's eyes slowly stepped into the dance floor.

They danced lightly to the melodious music.

Sherry was nervous and depressed.

Being dragged here and there made her feel like she's William's toy. It's really not up to her.

"Relax, your body is too stiff’

“I can't dance at all!" she whispered.

She was so nervous that she couldn't even take another step.

"Don't be nervous!” he said.

Of course she really wanted to do so.

But it's hard not to be nervous when everyone was watching, "Walk along my steps!”

"Ah! Sorry!" Sherry felt like she stepped on him, "Mr. Rowland, please forgive me!”

"Keep going!” he didn't mind at all.

“All right, you said it!" she's not responsible if she stepped him to death, it's his fault for making her dance.

She stepped on him again. His feet would probably be swollen on the next day.

The music was short, it was probably just for a few minutes. But it made her feel like she had just suffered for a very long time.

When the music ended, she felt at ease finally.

"Oh my! It's unbearable!" she didn't know how many times she had stepped on William.

After all, she couldn't count it clearly.

"Mr. Rowland, may I dance with your female partner?" a Korean guy walked over and talked with his poor English.

Sherry was really shocked because of that request.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Spencer, she’s not feeling well today. She barely could dance with me and I don't want to exhaust her’ William

refused politely.

"Such a pity, your female partner is very beautiful!" Mr. Spencer talked in smiles.

"Thank you for praising me, Mr. Spencer!" after turning down those who came to invite her to dance, William wrapped Sherry

around his arms while walking to the sofa in the corner.

"Hey! We're here!” Liam came over while holding his female partner's hand, "Sherry , let me introduce you. This is my little sister, Sarah"

Sherry was a bit surprised, "So she's Mr. Brooks’ sister! No wonder I felt that she looks like you! Hehe, hello Ms. Brooks, I'm Sherry!"

Sherry politely stretched her hand out, she felt very close with the woman in front of her.

Who would've known that Sarah suddenly smiled and said, "Sherry, you look like our family!"

"Eh!" Sherry didn't think Sarah would say something funny, “Really?”

“Liam, you see, Sherry's nose looks so similar to yours!" Sarah pointed at Sherry's nose when speaking to Liam, "You see,

Sherry’s nose is just like yours. There is also a small red mole on the tip of the nose”

"Eh? That's really true!” Liam smiled and said, “Yeah, what Sarah said was right... Why are there people whose nose are similar to mine these days!" Liam said that with a smile.

His beautiful eyes was stunning, "It's a pity that my dad is very affectionate with my mom, otherwise I'll really think Sherry is the child that dad had left behind!"

Sherry also smiled while shaking her head.

How's that possible, her dad's surname is Shaw, you know?

William also rolled his eyes, "Sarah, you're even more unreasonable than your brother!"

Sarah pouted at William's words.

After she greeted Sherry, she walked over to William's side and held his arms.

Sarah then asked with a smile, "William, is Sherry your girlfriend?”
