Man, what's wrong with you? Chapter 28 His Consideration

Chester frowned at the two empty seats beside him.

He noticed that Sherry had been gone for a long time, while on his other side, Jeremy's seat was also
notably empty.

He couldn't ignore the worry in his gut, so he stood up and walked out of the room, looking around for
the two of them.

However, he was surprised to see Jeremy smirking at him, as he walked towards the washroom.

He looked the same as before, but now, he seemed like his mood had been lifted and a smug smile
was firmly on his face.

Chester was about to greet him, but he was surprised for the second time when he saw the woman
who was walking behind Jeremy.

Sherry stared at Chester with wide eyes, surprised that he came out after them. She smiled and
greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Chester's eyes narrowed in suspicion, and he noticed that lips were slightly red and swollen, her hair
was a little messy, and there was a lingering embarrassment in her expression.

He glanced at Jeremy once more, and the smug look on the man's face suddenly made sense.

He understood then why the two of them took so long to return.

"Sherry, get ready now. We are going back to the company." He had a small frown on his face, and he
failed to mask the disapproval in his voice, so it sounded lower and colder than usual.

But Sherry seemed lost in a daze and didn't realize it.



She nodded, watching helplessly, as Chester walked into the washroom.

She was about to go back when Jeremy rudely pulled her back and said,

"As for that resignation, you'd better do it as soon as possible."

"No way!" Sherry pouted in irritation and rolled her eyes at him.

Jeremy‘s face darkened, but he couldn't do anything more, and he finally let her pass in case anyone
else noticed their disappearance.

After the lunch, Chester and Sherry walked out of the hotel together, while Jeremy walked behind them.
He could only watch like an outsider, as they walked side by side, and when he looked at Chester, he
felt inexplicably disgusted.

"Mr. Ou, we are going first," Chester said to Jeremy when they were ready to leave.

Jeremy nodded at him, and then he cast a casual look at Sherry and replied, "Go ahead."

Beisy opened the car door for Sherry and Chester, said goodbye to Jeremy, and got into the car.

The Land Rover roared away and left Jeremy standing at the gate of the hotel, but he didn't take his
eyes off the car until it was just a dark spot on the horizon.

Even when it was gone, he still stood there, feeling bereft, until Barry called his attention from his own
vehicle and opened the rear door for him.

"Sir," he called out in greeting, but he immediately noticed that his boss wasn't in a good mood. Since
he didn't follow his boss into the hotel, he didn't know what had happened inside, but it was pretty
impossible not to notice when it looked like his boss wanted to kill someone.

Meanwhile, inside Chester's car, the atmosphere was filled with tension.



"Sherry, do you know Jeremy?" Chester asked casually like he was just asking carelessly, but the truth
was that he was dying of curiosity, and his eyes studied Sherry's reaction carefully.

It was subtle, but he saw how Sherry stiffened minutely and bit her lip in hesitation.

Sherry knew that if she said that she didn't know him, it would be more suspicious, so she had no
choice but to nod in agreement.

"Yes. Jeremy also graduated from H University, so we've met in the past," Sherry answered vaguely.

"He is a playboy, who is often surrounded by countless women. No woman can stay with him for a long
time," Chester told her sagely.

'I know,' she thought. But, of course, she couldn't say that, or he'd know that something was up.

"So, don't get too close to him. He'll just cause problems for you," Chester continued, unaware of the
thoughts that were going through Sherry's mind at that moment.

Meanwhile, Sherry was surprised by Chester's concern, and she turned her head to look at Chester.
The afternoon sun shone through the car window and cast his face in a deep yellow-orange light, which
outlined the perfect features of his face.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought Chester was quite caring.

"I understand," she answered shortly.

It seemed that Chester was not satisfied by her answer, as he continued after a few seconds of silence,
"He is a lady-killer, and he will just cheat on you."

"Yes, I see. Thank you for your warning," said Sherry, nodding

It was almost funny because Chester didn't know it, but Sherry was well aware of this.



'No one knows him better than me over the years,' she thought bitterly.

She arrived at her office just as lunch break finished, and Maggie asked immediately, "Why didn't I see
you when we were having lunch, Sherry?"

"A friend of mine came to look for me just now, and we chatted for a bit, but when I went out, I couldn't
find you anymore. But I managed by myself, don't worry."

She didn't dare to tell them that she went out to have lunch with Chester. After all, the women in the
office loved to gossip, and she didn't want to be declared as gossip fodder on her first day.

"The company has a canteen downstairs, so you can go there to eat." Maggie smiled warmly at her, so
Sherry smiled back politely and said,

"Okay, thank you."

"Well, let's get to work!"

Sherry recalled what happened during the lunch, as she sat down to work. She sighed in relief when
she reflected over the roller coaster of emotions she went through for her first day of work.

She met a lot of new people, but Chester stood out from the rest, as he had shown so much kindness
to her.

Even if she had been famous in the past, three years had already passed since the last time that she
had been in touch with this industry, and she didn't know if anyone knew her still. Thus, she had to start
at the bottom.

Sherry busied herself with work afternoon, and even when her colleagues greeted her, she vaguely
answered.



She only lifted her head when she felt thirsty, and as she looked up, she found that it was already late,
and the sun had already set. The last person in the office was already walking toward the elevator, and
she was about to call him, but the elevator opened at that moment, and she was left alone.

It was now six o'clock. She stood up and stretched her sore muscles, and then she poured herself a
cup of coffee before she continued working.

A few hours later, she sat on her computer and clicked the send button.

'I'm done!' she thought, and a wide grin brightened her face when the 'ding' sound notified her that her
email was successfully sent. It was then that she noticed that most of the lights in the office were still
turned on, so she went and turned them off. She paused when a figure suddenly appeared.

Chester was walking back to his office when he saw that Sherry was still in the office, so he
approached her and said,

"I thought you went home already." Sherry looked as surprised as Chester was, and it appeared that
both of them didn't expect anyone to still be at the office.

"Mr. Gu, I just finished the case and sent it to the client," she said

"Well, you can go home and wait for his reply there." He put his hands in his pockets.

"No, it's okay. The client is in a hurry, so I'll wait for his reply here," said Sherry, who turned around and
went back to her office. While they were walking, she let her curiosity get the best of her and asked,
"Mr. Gu, why are you here so late?"

"I still have a lot of work to do," he said with a shrug. He nodded at Sherry without another word and
turned back to the elevator.

Meanwhile, Sherry went back to her desk alone, where she started playing games on her phone.



At this moment, the elevator opened again, and Chester came out of it and stalked towards Sherry,
who was just sitting there blankly.

"You haven't eaten anything. Are you hungry?" Chester asked and shook a white bag that he was
holding, and when Sherry came back to her senses, he was already pulling a chair to sit beside her.

"Mr. Gu, I thought you had left," she said, surprise evident on her face.

"I can't leave you here alone when you've worked so hard for the company. Besides, you haven't had
dinner yet." As he spoke, Chester opened the bag of food, and its mouthwatering scent spread all over
the office.

Her stomach growled lowly, and Sherry could only smile, embarrassed. She said, "That smells so
good!"

She looked in amazement at the food that Chester bought; roast chicken and beer had never looked so
good to her before.

"Thank you." Encouraged by Chester's warm smile, Sherry picked up her chopsticks and took a big
bite.

Chester watched her eat with a smile, as he opened a can of beer to take a sip.

"You don't have to rush this project, you know. You can do it tomorrow," he said indifferently, but inside,
he kind of felt bad that she worked so hard and couldn't spare a moment to eat.

She accepted a tissue from him, and after she wiped her mouth clean, she began to talk. "I'm a
workaholic. In the past, I worked until late, and I wouldn't sleep until I finished one particular proposal."



Chester listened to her quietly, as he played with a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, but since they were
still inside the office, he didn't bother to bring it out.

"The next day I had to present the proposal to my client, but I was so tired that my eyelids would not
stop twitching!" She continued her story, and a small smile graced her lips at the memory.

"You are very capable. I think you should be at a managerial position,"

Chester suddenly said out of the blue, and Sherry could only gape at him in shock, thoughts of Maggie
in her mind.

Maggie was the manager of the planning department. She was a very nice lady, and the other
employees admired her very much, so if Sherry was recognized by the clients and was promoted as
the planning manager, what would Maggie do?

She looked at Chester, but he didn't seem bothered by this at all.

But then, he was the boss and the salary came from his pockets, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Sometimes, the law of the jungle was one of the reasons that employees did not last in an industry.

"What are you saying? Even if I succeed with this particular project, I am still a newcomer who hasn't
been in the advertisement industry for three years. Why would you promote me?" Sherry suddenly
asked.

He opened another can of beer and handed it to her. "You'll find out someday," he answered cryptically.

She wanted to ask more, but he didn't seem interested in talking about it anymore. The truth was that if
not for Sherry's kindness in the past, he would not be the company's CEO now.



At that time, his parents' business went bankrupt and they lost a large sum of money, so they couldn't
even afford the tuition of his university at that time.

His mother also fell sick because of all their problems, and they needed a large amount of money for
her operation, so in the end, Chester had to drop out of school.

At that time, he thought that he would never know a better life, so he worked everywhere to raise
money, and someone advised him to ask the rich for alms.

He did what the man told him. He tried his best, but he still didn't get much money, and when he was
finally losing hope, Sherry suddenly appeared.

Sherry funded a large amount of money that helped his family turn their life around, and he was also
able to continue studying.

However, it seemed that Sherry didn't know whom she helped, maybe because she didn't care about
that money at all, and the help that she gave was such a small thing for her. But for him, that small
thing had saved his life.

Sherry sipped her beer, and the cold liquid felt refreshing for her tired body. She gave a happy sigh and
asked, "Why did you take me to lunch earlier?"

"You will be my company's chief planner from now on, so it's natural that I take you out to meet them on
occasion," he said matter-of-factly.

A capitalist was good at exploiting a person's potential, and there was no doubt that Chester would use
her wisely.
