Chapter 48 You Can Bear This Charge
Hearing this, Sherry’s face instantly turned pale. If she left, then all her efforts over the years would be in vain. But she couldn’t eat all of the mangoes.
Jane, who was at the side, did not know what Sherry had done wrong. She watched from the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“Mr. Yusuf, I know I was wrong. I really just want to teach her a lesson for you. I am doing this for your sake!”
Damon’s expression did not change, as if he had not heard her at all. Ben, who was beside him, looked at Sherry and reminded, “Ms. Turkle, Mr. Yusuf’s time is limited.”
Sherry wanted to cry but she had no tears anymore. Looking at the entire box of mangos in front of her, she hesitated. However, in the end, she could not bear to give up these years of hard work. She grabbed a mango and her body trembled.
Looking at the man’s gloomy face, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation. Sherry had no choice but to peel off the mango and start eating. Mango’s liquid stuck to her hand. At this point, she did not care about her image or face. She peeled the mango one by one and ate it.
She ate not more than three and her tears started to pour out. Her hands and face were full of mangos and she was in a really sad state.
Damon glanced at her coldly. He did not want her to stop. Sherry had no choice but to continue stuffing the mango into her mouth.
Jane couldn’t bear to watch anymore. She carefully walked forward and said, “Mr. Yusuf, what’s going on? Ms. Turkle has been working at the president’s office for several years. No matter what, she can’t…”
“If you want to plead for her, help her eat it.” Damon glanced at her and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Jane’s face instantly changed color, and she quickly swallowed her unfinished words back into her stomach.
When Sherry heard Damon’s words, she realized that there was no turning back now. She could only continue shoving the mango into her stomach.
After an unknown period of time, half of the box of mangos had been eaten, and the scene was a mess.
Damon glanced at the half-empty box, then he instructed Jane in a low voice, “Watch her finish eating.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Ben also hurriedly followed him.
Just as they walked out of the office door, the sound of Sherry vomiting came from the room, as if she was going to vomit out her internal organs.
“Sherry, you can’t eat anymore. If you continue to eat, you will be in trouble!” Jane looked at Sherry with fear and worry.
Sherry’s shoulders were shaking, and her eyes were filled with tears of nausea. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and felt both hatred and regret.
After working under Damon for so long, she knew very well that if she did not finish this box of mangos, he would definitely do what he said and let her pack up and leave. However, she was unwilling. After working for Yusuf Group for a few years, she could not let go of her accumulated experience and current position. Therefore, she could not give up.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed a mango, tore open the skin, and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Sherry, you can’t eat anymore!” Jane grabbed her.
“Don’t worry about me!” Sherry flung her hand away.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the door. When she looked up, she saw Ben standing there.
“Assistant Johnson…”
“Mr. Yusuf said that you don’t have to eat the rest, but you have to remember this lesson.”
“I… I’ll remember this! I won’t do it again!” Sherry nodded without hesitation.
“However, you have to bear the crime of spreading rumors and disrupting the order.” Ben suddenly changed the topic.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Sherry could speak, Jane, who was beside her, could not help but defend her. “Assistant Johnson, how can you blame this on Sherry?”
Hearing this, Ben stared at Sherry unhurriedly and smiled. “I don’t think I need to remind you of what Ms. Turkle did, right?”
As soon as she said this, Sherry’s heart sank. The coldness and sweetness in her stomach rolled and twitched. She shrugged her shoulder and was about to spit it out.
It turned out that everything could not be hidden from Damon. The person who mixed the mango juice into Adele’s juice was her. The person who first sent the photos secretly to the group was also her. Damon knew all of this very clearly!
Ten minutes later, Sherry was sent to the hospital accompanied by Jane. Soon, the news spread quickly in the company.
Everyone knew that Sherry was punished by Damon because of spreading rumors. Knowing the consequences, no one dared to speak casually, and no one dared to mention the previous matter.
At this moment, Adele was lying on the bed, thinking about the meeting with Marcus in her mind.
Suddenly, her mobile phone vibrated and she received a WeChat message from Shirley.
“Adele, have you heard? Sherry from the president’s office was punished. She was the one spreading rumors everywhere. And your allergy seems to have something to do with her too.”
Seeing this news, Adele was stunned. How could the matter of her allergy be Sherry’s doing? Moreover, Sherry was a member of the president’s office. No matter which department, they would give her some face. The only one who could punish her was probably Damon, right?
Sighing, Adele threw all these complicated matters to the back of her mind. When she saw that the IV was gone, she immediately called for the nurse to pull out the needle.
“If I want to leave the hospital, do yI need to go through any procedures?” Adele asked the nurse, pressing the cotton ball against the needle hole.
The nurse nodded, “Yes, but before Mr. Yusuf left, he specifically told you to rest and not be in a hurry to leave the hospital.”
Not be in a hurry to leave the hospital? She had made an appointment with Marcus. If she missed this opportunity, she did not know if she could make an appointment again next time.
“I feel much better now. I don’t feel itchy anymore. I still have an urgent matter to attend to, so I can’t stay here for long…” Adele said as she got up from the bed.
Ignoring the nurse’s advice, she took her things and walked out of the ward.
The nurse saw that she couldn’t stop her and couldn’t catch up. So she immediately became anxious and hurriedly made a phone call. “Hello? Is it Assistant Johnson? Miss Wes, who is on the 26th bed, just left the hospital. I can’t even stop her!”
Adele came out of the hospital and directly stopped a car, rushing to the place where she had promised Marcus.
When she rushed to the destination, she was still a few minutes late.
Adele ran all the way. When she saw Marcus, she hurriedly apologized, “Mr. McClain, I’m sorry, I’m late.”
“Sit down,” Marcus said, waving his hand.
The two of them sat down. After exchanging greetings, they went straight to the point and directly discussed the matter of cooperation.
Now that everything was settled, the only thing left was for both parties to sign.
Marcus looked up at Adele and smiled, “Ms. Wes, how about a meal together tonight? Consider it my thanks to you.”
Thanks to Adele’s reminder last time, otherwise, he would really have fallen into the trap of a villain!
“Mr. McClain being able to accept our list is already a form of thanks to me. There is no need for you to treat me to dinner. If there is a need in the future, I will definitely think of you first.” Adele smiled and declined.
“That’s good.” Marcus was also straightforward and signed his name, “About the gift box, we will deliver it on a fixed date. Don’t worry, Ms. Wes.”
Adele nodded and was about to say something more when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Damon!
Could it be that he knew that she was discharged early?
