‘Fine. I‘ll look for her when she‘s calmed down.
As he regained his cool composure, he got up and said, ”
Inform the departments that we are bringing next week‘s weekly meeting ahead, and it will be in an hou
r at the main meeting room. Tell them to be prepared.”
“Yes, sir.”
Cliff nodded and went out. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he ran into Shermaine.
Shermaine went up to Cliff and asked in a small voice,” Assistant Bogard, what‘s wrong with Master Ca
rter? I noticed the sour look on his face when he came up.”
Cliff said, “Something happened to his family.”
“His family? Is it because of Mrs. Carter?” Shermaine asked.
Cliff was surprised by the insight. “How did you know?”
Shermaine frowned and wore an apologetic look.” Yesterday night, I went in with a thermal flask and ac

Cliff sighed. The
anger on his face faded a little. “What happened after that? Did Master Carter explain the situation to M

“Mrs. Carter was furious and didn‘t give

Cliff sighed. “No wonder Mrs. Carter is that angry.” It had been a few years since the two got back toget
her, and Odell had never raised his voice at Sylvia. Now that he scolded her, she must think that Odell
was protecting Shermaine, hence the short temper.
They had gotten into an argument a while ago because of Shermaine and Charles.
Shermaine carefully
sized up the sullen look on Cliff‘s face and asked, “Assistant Bogard, did something

Cliff went off.
After he entered the elevator, Shermaine
returned to her workstation and her lips uncontrollably curled into a grin. She had not even started anyth
How could the wife not know that arguing with the man would only irritate him at this sensitive time?
If she was not smart enough, how did she become Mrs. Carter in the first place?
The plane finally landed when the sky turned dark.
Sylvia put on a thick down jacket and followed Christopher and the teachers to the hotel.
She sat by the window in the car. The window got misty
due to the difference in temperature, so she wiped it and peeked outside.
The sky was dark but not pitch–
