I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 17: 4. Sheri Hoal

Sheri turns and there stood the devil that she's running from. His handsome devilish looked wearing a

tuxedo while holding a glass of wine exudes a gorgeous man. His smile that once captivated her is now

for Sheri a smile of a Devil.

Her fears shoot up and her face drained of blood, her hands start to sweat, her back runs chills and her

legs become soft. Like a movie screen, it shows how he tortured her. She starts to shake. She clasped

her two hands so that it will not tremble. The man in front of her looks worried when she looked pale.

"Are you alright?" he walked closer toward her.

She, on the other hand, almost fall to the ground luckily Ric was there and immediately run to hold her

before Eric does. Sheri pretended to faint in the arms of Ric. Eric's hands hang in the air and full of

concern rushed toward him. Ric carried her older sister and run toward his car exiting at the backdoor

of the building and drive toward the hospital.

Eric was so worried that he wanted to chase them, but was hindered with so many women wants to talk

to him.

The other man saw everything that happened on he was angry at the same time worried about how

she is.

On the way toward the hospital, Sheri tries to calm herself.

"Ric bring me home I just need a rest." Sheri softly said.

Ric looked at her sister.

" You seem a ghastly pale while ago what happened? Did that man do something? How come you

fainted?" ask Ric

Sheri giggle

"I just pretend because I'm bored," she cheekily lied.

Ric sigh " Sis. Don't do that again if you plan to faint tell me I'll join you with your fun, better call mom

and dad." Ric shook his head.

"Alright, I will" Sheri smile. She dialed her parent's number and informs them that Ric brought her

home.

Morning arrives, and she's preparing everything to go to her office. While on the staircase ready to

head out. The butler came holding a bunch of roses.

"Ma'am it's for you." The butler said.

Sheri twitches her face. Thinking just one day of going to a party, she invited a bee already.

Thinking just one day of going to a party, she invited a bee already

She admires the roses and smells them and look at the card.

"Beautiful roses for a beautiful lady. I hope your feeling much better."

Xx,

Eric Copper.

The moment she read those sentences. Her hands drop the roses and paled.

"Shred those and throw them out immediately."

She shakily asked the butler.

The butler saw how shaken Sheri is. He didn't inquire but surely he will say it toward their madam. He

picked the bundle of roses on the floor and went toward the garbage bin. Sheri runs toward her room.

She was frightened. She undresses and washes every skin that the roses touch she scrubs, especially

her hands.

She felt disgusted. Everything about that man brings shivers on her. She can nevertheless feel those

lifeless eyes when his torturing her. She scrubs and scrubs until her hands were red. She vowed she

would never involve her self toward them. Then why is that he is giving her attention. A chill runs

through Sheri's spine just thinking about yesterday and now the flower.

After changing with new attire, she went out of her room. She sought the butler.

"Uncle Ben, if another flower or any item that comes from Eric Copper, can you throw them

immediately or give it to someone or better yet returned it. Tell them I don't accept any gifts. I don't

have any good notion regarding that man." Sheri softly spoke toward uncle Ben. Uncle Ben, want to

inquire more, but he stopped in the midway when he saw the way she acted while ago. It seems that

man did something that makes her jump like that.

"I will, miss," said Uncle Ben.

"Oh, wait don't send it back just throw them away." Sheri knows too well that the more you return his

gifts the more he will be intrigued.

"Thank you uncle ben" she walked out and went toward her car.

Sheva her younger sister was standing at the side of the door of Sheri's car when Sheri went toward

their garage. She looked at Sheri and beam.

Sheri stares at her evil's sister gaze. She has a feeling her sister will ask her something.

"Sis, I've been waiting for you here for almost 20 min. Where were you?" She brashly asked.

"hmmm let me guess you want me to drive you to school again and you want more allowances?" Sheri

smugly asked.

Sheva smile from ear to ear. She clasps the hand of her sister and sways it while pouting. " I need just

a couple of thousand. There's this latest edition bag that I want to have it, please!" She pitifully looked

at her sister.

Sheri rolled her eyes and went to the driving seat.

"Hop in, I will drive you and later I will transfer it to your account but don't even tell on mom and dad

even Sven, they will get mad," Sheri said while looking at Sheva at the window.

Sheva jump and excitedly went inside her car and hug her.

"You're the best sis," Sheva said while beaming from ear to ear. Sheri just shook her head and smile,

The Hoal family is indeed wealthy, but their parents make sure they grow up that they have to work if

they want to buy something except for Sheri they can't persuade her or make her work.

After dropping Sheva at her school she drives going to her parent's company. On the way, a

mechanical voice speaks.

"You have 20 days left before the next mission." said the voice.

Sheri almost jumps because it suddenly spoke the system.

"Ok" acknowledge Sheri.

The time she arrived at her families company she was cordially greeted by her private secretary.

"Morning ma'am." Xiao Li said

"Morning Xiao, did Mr. Jack already responded to my calls?" asked Sheri

"Not yet ma'am but your father is waiting for you at his office together with sir Sven." Informed Xiao

"Alright, I will be right there need to go to my office and get something. Thank you, Xiao." She smiles

and went to her office.

Xiao is her assistant. The first day he worked under Sheri, he was impressed by how down to earth and

a hard-working lady she is. He also got many gifts from her making him more diligent to his work. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sheri's got the documented she needed and pace toward her father's office on the way, her phone ring.

While communicating she motioned to the secretary of her dad not to talk since she is in the middle of

her discussion with Mr. Jack. This ambitious project if ever she will pull. Her dad's company will be

stable for the rest of their lives.

The secretary supposes to inform her they have a guest, but she was blocked.

She strides in while talking to Mr. Jack.

Sheri's father was at his table acquiring some documents while she barged in, she stood at his door

signaling her father to be quiet unknowingly to her there are more people in her father's office. She

didn't saw them. The people inside her father's office were silent the moment she appears. Sven was

supposed to talk to her, but he saw her signal toward their dad. Sheri went toward her father's window

and looked at the view below while talking on her cellphone.

"Whenever the margin index of the capital stock obtains 40 percent increase, it means it has

successfully accomplished our goal. The satisfactory thing about these comparative indexes is

correctly managed, it's a risk to say anything but I guarantee you will benefit well with this deal." Sheri

said firmly.

On the other side of the room. The guest eyebrow went up, he looked keenly at her back from head to

toe. She wears her black pencil skirt, top with a white blouse. He can see her beautiful curves and her

smooth legs. The moment he hears her talk he was frozen.
