The whole office was devoured by a sense of weird silence.
With her phone in hand, Sherry stared at the guy in front of her.
He is really crazy, yes.
Stella was speechless.
She picked up the cup and stood up. She coughed and said, “I’m getting some water.”
And she closed the door behind her carefully.
Sherry finally realized what had happened. She pushed Daniel away promptly, “You such a ...”
She was so angry that she could not utter a single word. How could he kiss her in Stella’s presence?
Daniel wiped off the lipstick at the corner of her mouth, “Calm down, please. I have something to tell
you.”
Sherry got flushed. She felt so embarrassed that her eyes had got quite hot.
If he failed to give her a reason for what he did, she would definitely have him killed!
For fear that Stella would return soon, Daniel said quickly, “I came here for a reason. I’ve seen the
message your friend sent you. It is real. The man on the picture is Channing Radomil. He was now
arrested and Mr. Conrad had all the information blocked. So, the thing hasn’t been widely spread on
the Internet. I came here to ensure Ms. Radomil won’t see those messages. And I am also here to seek
your help.”
Sherry was thinking over what he said and she failed to have a clear understanding, “Wait ...
Channing? You said he had beaten someone to death?”
Daniel replied, “Right. It was Chassell Barret. But he hasn’t died yet and is now in the ICU. You know
how the media would exaggerate the situation. Yet it’s a real problem even if Chassell Barret would
finally be alive. Channing may be judged guilty anyway. So, we should not let Ms. Radomil know it.”
The name Chassell Barret made it all clear.
The son of bitch!
Finally, Jeffrey Radomil the bastard had been dead. But now another emerged ...
Sherry asked, “You said you are seeking my help?”
Daniel nodded, “You are the most likely one to take her phone. You should not let her see the
message.”
Sherry remembered there had already been someone who sent her message to ask whether the one
on the picture was Channing or not ...
She stood up hurriedly and took a deep breath as she saw the phone on the desk. She picked it up
quickly.
What’s the password...?
Sherry tried a few wrong passwords.
She turned back to ask Daniel, “Do you remember the birthday of her child?”
He didn’t know obviously.
He took out the phone to call Clarence and got a date.
Finally, the phone was unlocked.
As she expected, there had been a few messages asking her about Channing.
She quickly deleted all those messages. But new ones just kept popping out.
Sherry shook her head, “No ... that’s not possible. So many people are asking about Channing.”
Daniel frowned, “We need to keep her from getting the phone.”
Gazing at him, Sherry got an idea.
...
Before Stella got to the tea room, she got to the toilet deliberately. She walked extremely slowly on
purpose to give some time for the couple to finish their quarrel.
But outside the door of her office, she heard a terrible thud from the inside.
Sherry shouted, “I don’t want to see you again. Get out!”
Daniel sounded also angry, “Yeah, yeah, as you wish. I don’t want to see you either!”
A few seconds later, the door was opened from the inside violently.
Daniel walked out with a cold face. Seeing Stella, he nodded to her hastily before he strode away.
Stella heaved a deep sigh.
Sherry got out at this time, her eyes quite red, “Just leave him alone and let him go. I don’t want to see
him again.”
Staring at her, Stella asked worriedly, “What happened? You looked fine just before.”
Sherry didn’t say anything. Tears just kept trickling down her cheeks.
Stella didn’t ask anything else. She pulled her into the office and let her sit on the sofa. She handed her
a piece of tissue, “That’s all right now. Just leave him alone.”
Sherry sobbed, “Don’t go with him this evening. Have dinner with me.”
Stella patted her on the back, “Okay, I will be with you.”
After a while, Sherry said in a low voice, “I’m fine now. You can just return to your work. I just want to
stay with you.”
“Okay.”
Sitting before the desk again, Stella picked up her pen to engage herself in designing.
The clocking was ticking and soon the night fell.
Stella raised her head to move a neck a bit, “Let’s go.”
She stood up to find her parcel and phone. But there was nothing beside the desk.
Stella looked for it around and then said to Sherry, “Sherry, could give me a phone call, please? I don’t
know where to find my phone.”
Sherry fumbled out her phone under the sofa. She had a glimpse at her while dialing the number. Then
she was ready and pretended to be quite surprised, “Oh, no.”
Stella turned back to ask, “What happened?”
Sherry put down her phone and headed to the corner to find a phone which was completely broken into
pieces.
Like a poor and obedient girl, she handed over the phone with two hands, “Sorry, Stella. I was so angry
with Daniel that I threw the phone at him. But by then I failed to realize that it was your phone ...”
Stella was speechless.
She took the phone, which could hardly be recognized as a phone, and halted for some seconds
before she said, “That’s okay.”
Sherry said instantly, “I’ll buy you a new one. If I buy a new phone now online, you will receive it
tomorrow morning.”
Stella said, “You don’t have to. We can have dinner in a restaurant of a shopping mall. And then I can
buy a new one there.”
With Stella’s arm in arms, Sherry said like a poor little girl, “But I want to eat the food cooked by you.
The phone can be bought online and you may even receive it this evening.”
Stella was not the type of person who could get crazy in absence of a cell phone. And online
purchasing was indeed very convenient nowadays. So, she nodded, “Then let’s go home first.”
Sherry had enough ingredients for dinner in her home. So, they had no need to do some shopping in
the supermarket.
While Stella was cooking, Sherry came over with her phone in hand, “Stella, maybe you should give
Clarence a phone call to inform him that you are here? Otherwise, he may get worried.”
“Thank you then. May I have your phone please?”
Stella wiped her hands and dialed Clarence’s number using Sherry's phone.
Sherry heaved a deep sigh.
When she gave her phone to Stella, she had deleted all the social media apps on the phone for fear
that the messages sent by someone else might inform Stella of Channing’s case.
It was Nathan who answered the phone. He said, “Ma'am, Mr. Conrad was in a meeting. Is there
anything I need to tell him?”
