Sherry felt weird if they went to see the exhibition together.
It seemed only close friends or people in love would do it.
However, neither of the situations applied to her and Daniel.
When Sherry raised her head, Daniel had already gotten off the car.
She wondered if her suggestion was too late.
There were not too many visitors in the exhibition hall at this time.
Daniel walked ahead, followed by Sherry. They acted like two strangers.
Sherry thought this was not bad.
Shortly after, she found the works from her favorite photographers. She paused.
Sure enough, they were famous. She could learn a lot from their works.
After browsing all of them, Sherry saw Daniel talking with a woman nearby. The woman was smiling
happily while putting one hand on Daniel’s shoulder. Evidently, they enjoyed the conversation a lot.
The woman was a sexy blonde.
They looked like a perfect match standing together.
Sherry suddenly found all the works in front of her boring, and she planned to have a walk outside the
hall. At this moment, Daniel looked over and met her eyes.
Then he whispered to the woman next to him.
Sherry saw them walking to her direction together.
She prayed that they were not gonna talk to her.
However, she heard that Daniel was introducing her to the woman, and then he said to Sherry, “This is
Lyla, the owner of this exhibition center.”
Sherry was taken aback. “The owner?”
Lyla stretched out her hand to Sherry and said, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Perry. My husband and I are
Daniel’s close friends.”
Sherry shook hands with her hurriedly. “Nice to meet you, too.”
Daniel said, “I just told Lyla that you are also a photographer and showed her your works. She likes
them a lot. She asked if you would consider putting your works in the exhibition as well.”
Sherry was surprised. Pointing at herself, she asked, “My works?”
Daniel explained, “She was a Geographic photographer before. After she got married, she stopped
taking photos. Your photographic style is quite similar to hers in the young age, reminding her of the
good old days when she was dating her husband. Hence, she sincerely invited you to join this
exhibition.”
“But I...”
“Lyla is always a strict woman. She has taken the initiative to invite you to join this exhibition, so it
means your works are valuable in her eyes. Don’t feel stressed.”
Sherry believed him.
Lyla turned to her, “Ms. Perry, if you agree, your works will be put in the exhibition from tomorrow.”
Sherry hesitated for a few seconds before nodding firmly. “Okay. I agree.”
She had never imagined that one day, her works could appear at such a large exhibition and be placed
among the works of so many prestigious photographers.
It was certainly an encouragement for her.
If she hesitated again, she might miss the chance.
Daniel said, “Send your works to me later. I’ll deliver them to Lyla.”
Sherry asked in a low voice, “Why can’t I directly send them to her?”
Daniel didn’t speak, ignoring her question.
Lyla sensed the atmosphere between them, and gave a knowing smile. She patted Daniel on his
shoulder and said something in whispers. Then she nodded at Sherry before leaving.
Looking at her back, Sherry asked, “What did she just say?”
Daniel answered, “She said she had to go and would keep in touch.”
After a pause, he continued, “And...”
“What?”
Daniel looked at her and answered slowly, “She said you are pretty and talented. If we got married, she
wanted us to invite her.”
Sherry was speechless.
She didn’t expect that at all.
With a blushed face, she said, “Why didn’t you explain to her?”
Daniel said, “She’s gone already. How did I do that?”
“All right... You can explain to her in the future.”
After browsing all the works, it had been three in the afternoon.
Since they had been indoor for a long time, when breathing the fresh air outside, Sherry stretched
herself cozily.
She felt a bit dizzy after browsing the photos.
Daniel asked, “Would you like to have lunch downtown or make do with it in a restaurant nearby?”
Sherry thought for a while and answered, “It’ll take an hour to go back. Let’s find a place nearby.”
There was a fast-food restaurant just less than two miles from here.
Sherry was fond of the food, so she enjoyed it a lot.
Daniel put a cup of soft drink in front of her and asked, “Do you have any plans this afternoon?”
Sherry munched a drumstick and said, “I want to go to the South Bank.”
Daniel checked the time. “If we go back, we can watch the sunset.”
Sherry took several sips of the drink. “Okay. Hurry up. Let’s go. Don’t waste time.”
She wanted to take some photos of the Thames in the sunset.”
If they were too late, the sun would set already.
She tossed the garbage into the trash can, picked up her bag, and walked out of the restaurant.
She enjoyed the view on the way back.
Sherry pulled out her camera and took a lot of photos.
She was pretty spirited, completely different from the drowsy Sherry in the morning.
When she was taking photos, the car stopped suddenly. Daniel pulled it over on the roadside.
Sherry hurriedly covered her camera and turned to ask, “What happened?”
Daniel checked the fuel tank and tried to start the engine again, but it didn't work.
He said, “Please remain seated.”
Then he opened the door, got off, and opened the hood.
Sherry sat for a few minutes, but he still hadn’t resolved the problem. She put the camera into her bag,
got down, and walked over. “Did the car break down?”
Daniel hummed. “The engine has burned.”
Holy Moly!
She turned to look around, but there was no car passing by at all.
The surrounding suddenly became too quiet.
After waiting for thirty minutes, Daniel said, “Let’s go.”
Sherry asked blankly, “Where are we going?”
Daniel said, “There should be a motel nearby. Let’s go find it. Then I’ll call someone to pick us up.”
Sherry didn’t give up and still looked in the distance, no sign of cars passing by.
She had to follow Daniel.
Hence, she took out her bag from the car and walked with him.
