The President’s Stubborn Love

Chapter 25 – She’s a good bargaining chip



If even Andrew looked at her with such a pitying look, her life and past would be reduced to pieces and become a bubble.

“There’s a dinner party tomorrow night, be my date.” Andrew said so, placing the invitation on the table, “The clothes, I will send someone to prepare them and bring them to you tomorrow morning.”

Sherry immediately shook her head, “I can’t.”

“I just, need a female companion, I don’t need you to be fluent in a foreign language or to be able to negotiate mapping, it’s not difficult.”

Sherry’s tense emotions finally eased as she looked at him with a straight face.

But she hesitated for a moment and voiced her fears.

“Aaron will be there if the Chamber organizes it, right?” Sherry pursed her lips.

Andrew’s eyes sank, “Yes, but I won’t let him get a chance to touch you again.”

He said, taking a half step forward.

For some reason, Sherry didn’t duck.

Andrew Fukuyama is even less oppressive than Aaron and, her subconscious tells her that Andrew is a decent man, he’s not a nutcase like Aaron.

“They won’t dare to despise you only if you are my lady friend.”

Andrew said so, pulling out his room card from his coat pocket, “If you’re scared, go to my room, I’ll sleep elsewhere, don’t worry, I’m here.”

The words fell and Sherry’s tears just fell.

Andrew inclined his head sideways, “You rest.”

He left enough respect for Sherry and the moment the door closed again, Sherry clutched the room card and burst into tears.

“If only, I had met you a little earlier …”

Isn’t it, so she won’t fall off that cliff and all hell will break loose.

Later that evening, Sherry was asked to accompany Aaron to the meeting.

She was, after all, an employee of the Night Group and could not disobey orders from above, but her outfit was out of the question and she wore her usual clothes, which made her look otherworldly in a crowd of black and grey suit dresses.

But Sherry doesn’t mind, she feels at home instead.

Aaron had only just entered the conference hall when he saw the glow return to her face and the deep meaning under her eyes thicken.

Great, you’re happy after just one meeting with Andrew?

The moment his icy gaze swept over Sherry’s face, Sherry sensed it too.

But she gathered her courage and did not show any panic or breakage.

The host of the meeting followed the process and opened the night, as all those present were business tycoons and elites, and all were seated according to their status.

Aaron, as the founder of Night Group, was the talk of the town when he appeared.

Sherry walked behind him with two other employees.

As he walked past the front of the Andrew Group, Aaron’s footsteps unexpectedly stopped.

Sherry’s heart stuttered and she had no time to think before she was pulled over by Aaron.

Her wrist was just pulled by him in public.

For a moment, Sherry was dazed and confused, struggling in vain, her wrists twisted by him in pain, but she could not shake it off.

She looked flustered.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Mr. Swift, you’re hurting me!”

She lowered her voice, desperately wishing in her heart that Aaron would stop torturing her.

Where did I expect, a few sneers on his handsome, cold-blooded face, “You’d better stay by my side.”

What does he mean by that?

Sherry was almost pulled over to him with great force and again just had to settle down beside him.

At the meeting, each company has to auction the bidding sites and bid in order to indicate their intention to acquire them, so that it is fair and visible without hurting the peace.

It was only then that Sherry discovered the mystery of the list, that where Night Group was interested in bidding for a plot, Andrew Group was also interested.

That said, Andrew is Aaron’s strongest competitor.

Sherry couldn’t help but frown, she knew Aaron was always thunderous and never missed a beat when he wanted something, and against him, Andrew would have a hard time winning.

“Worried Andrew will lose?”

Aaron suddenly inclined his head sideways and whispered in her ear, saying this.

From a distance, the two of them looked very ambiguous. Ambiguous!

Sherry frowned and ducked to the side.

“Mr. Swift, please behave yourself.”

“Heh … what you’ve done with me, Andrew wouldn’t be unaware of that, he’s a normal man too, you don’t think, he doesn’t mind at all?”

Another cut was made on Sherry’s heart.

She hung her head, grateful that Andrew was there for her when she needed help the most, but she knew she was no match for Andrew, let alone the Sherry of the past, let alone the one she was now.

She won’t think anything of it.

“Mr. Swift don’t worry, I know my own mind.” Sherry reluctantly returned this.

She didn’t want to be underestimated by Aaron.

“Then it’s best that we don’t embarrass the Night Group.” Aaron said so, holding up the number plate in his hand, “Thirty million.”

Sherry hung her head and made no sound.

She knew Aaron’s personality all too well. In any game, he had to be the one to hold the rules, and once he couldn’t win, he would do everything he could to spare her unless he begged for mercy.

But soon Sherry realized that something was wrong, and that none of the plots that Andrew Group had been interested in had been bid on today, and instead two very obscure project plots had been auctioned off.

Aaron’s beastly eyes glowed with cold, soft laughter.

“It seems that Andrew cares enough about you to know that I have you in my hands to move, Sherry, and I realized today that you are still of some use.”

He brushed his fingers across the corner of Sherry’s forehead in an intimate gesture.

At this moment, a shiver ran around Sherry’s body.

It turned out that he was using her as leverage and bait to force Andrew to give up those projects.

Sherry turned back to Andrew sitting just behind her, a few rows away, his gaze always on her.

Sherry’s heart ached and she gritted her teeth and turned her head away, “Mr. Swift, you don’t have to be so desperate to save the day, do you?”

“Business is business, he’ll give it up for a woman, that’s his choice.” Aaron gave her a contemptuous glance, “If you’re so upset about him, why don’t you just jump ship and work at Andrew Group instead of being an eyesore in front of me.”

Sherry gritted her teeth.

She doesn’t leave, she can’t leave, there’s no way to gather evidence if she does.

The day she regains her innocence, she will go, and, at that time, she will feel sick to even look at him more than once.

“Congratulations to Mr. Swift, our biggest winner of the night!”

There were cheers and applause all over the room.

Sherry was the only one whose eyes darkened and darkened.

Aaron, are you enjoying the moment? It’s a shame.

Sherry kept her head down and surreptitiously took out her phone and snapped a few pictures in Aaron’s direction, capturing several other senior executives interacting with him in clear view.

The ‘news’ that got out of the hands of Night Group insiders is sure to attract a lot of attention from the outside world.

Sherry raised her eyebrows slightly and quickly sent out a few emails.
