The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 232

Winter said in a very low voice, "A-As soon as she came to Kelsen, she was assigned to the eighth floor. Luna was completely defeated by her on her first day, so we girls think that she's not a simple person. Sure enough, it became clear within two days that she's Mr. Laine's person. "She's someone who's being protected by Mr. Laine, and even Cassidy doesn't dare to bother her. No matter how busy we are, we won't dare to ask her to help out. Or else, if she were to get unhappy, we'd probably lose our jobs! "Frankly speaking, she's even more rampant than what I just described. In any case, she doesn't bat an eyelid toward anyone here. If I tell her that Mr. Miller is looking for her, she probably won't give you the time of day! We can't do anything about it since her bankroller is Mr. George Laine himself!".

Winter did not have the guts to go against Sherman's instruction, so she repeated everything she had said before to a tee. Luna and the others widened their eyes in shock. When Winter was still talking, they could not seem to comprehend her words just yet. However, as soon as she muttered the second half, they somewhat understood what was going on. Winter seemed to have chewed Suzy up in front of someone and spoke ill of her. Nonetheless, why did she come over here and repeat everything in front of Suzy? Did her brain go haywire?

Suzy naturally understood as well, but her face remained calm as usual. However, her eyes tumed cold. "Although I'm being protected by George, did I do anything I should be sorry for toward you?" Winter immediately shook her head. "I'm sorry, Suzy! Please forgive me!"

Zeke glared at Winter angrily. If she had not deliberately brought up the topic, he would not have followed along and tried to curry favor with Sherman. He thought of something and raised his leg to kick Winter to the side. "You're just a cheap sl*t who goes around bad - mouthing everyone! If you're to speak ill of Ms. Shirley again behind her back, I'll not let the matter slide, not to mention Sher himself!"

Winter stumbled against the table and fell to the floor, but she did not dare to refute. She merely lowered her head and whimpered softly. Everyone else in the room was also petrified. They looked at Suzy in trepidation. Was the Sher guy Zeke mentioned Sherman Miller?

What on earth was the origin of Suzy Shirley? Just forget about the fact that George and James were both covering for her, but how could Sherman, who had always been at odds with George, protect her as well?

Suzy looked at Zeke and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Who are you?" Zeke immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Hello, Ms. Shirley. I'm Mr. Yorks, and I came here with Sherman Miller. Sher asked me to invite you over." Suzy asked, "Sherman?". For someone to call Sherman just by his name, she must have a close relationship with him! Zeke's attitude became more and more respectful. He nodded again and again. "Yes! Sherman Miller!" Suzy picked up the book on the table and continued with her research. She said in a low voice," I'm not going. I'm not responsible for his private room, so ask for someone else to go instead."

Zeke was stunned. What did she mean by that? Did they not know each other after all?

Was this woman truly not giving Sherman the time of day? The look on Zeke's face was half-crying and half-smiling. "Please come over for a short while, Mr. Shirley. Just think of it as me begging you!" Suzy was taking notes in her notebook with a pen in her hand. She asked in a low voice, "Why did Sherman ask you to come here and beg me?"

Zeke lowered his head with a guilty conscience and said, "I-I didn't know that you knew Sher, Ms. Shirley. I was misled by that b*tch Winter, so I spoke ill of you. Sher got angry and said that if I fail to invite you over, he'll throw me down from the eighth floor!" Suzy felt like laughing. "Just go back. He won't really toss you down. He has to pay with his own life for taking yours!"

Zeke was about to cry. His eyes were filled with tears. "Sher will truly do it! I spoke without much thought, so please forgive me! Please help me out this time and i'll listen to whatever you have to say in the future, Ms. Shirley!"

Suzy's face turned cold and indifferent. "You spoke ill of me, but now you're asking me to help you out. Does that make sense to you?". Only then did Zeke realize that this little girl with a soft appearance in front of him was actually not good- tempered. He was almost kneeling as he said, "Then I'll just kneel right here. Once you've relieved your anger, I'll get back up!"

Only the two were talking inside the lounge, and no one else dared to say a word. Seeing that Suzy was not talking, Zeke was truly about to kneel down for her. Suddenly, the door opened and Cassidy came in. She said solemnly, "There are guests in the private room, and they've made their orders. Why are all you girls cooped up inside the lounge?"
