ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 10 Episode 65

“Frivolous?” Sheryl couldn’t help but burst into laughter. After a while, she stopped laughing. Fixing her eyes on Susan, she said earnestly, “You know what? Cary is popular among girls, but he never flirts with them. It’s the first time that I have seen him treat a girl in such a casual manner. Perhaps, he thinks you’re special.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, Sher?” Susan responded, a suspicious blush flashing across her face. “We are never going to work it out.”

With a smile, Sheryl commented in a sisterly tone, “Nothing is impossible. When Charles and I first got married, I thought I would never fall in love with him. But it turns out that I was wrong.”

Sheryl intentionally shared her experience to make Susan believe that everything was possible. “Actually, Cary is not as bad as you think he is. As far as I know, he is completely different from what you have imagined. I think this is all just a misunderstanding. It wouldn’t be fair to him at all.”

As Susan didn’t retort, she held her hand and suggested, “Why not make peace with him and regard him as your friend? Perhaps if you get to know him better, you will see that he is a far better person than what you thought.”

“But…” Susan faltered with a scowl. Cary sure didn’t leave a good impression on her, but she couldn’t refuse Sheryl’s proposal.

“That’s it,” Sheryl concluded when she noticed that the girl was wavering.

Holding on to Susan’s hand, she gave a bright smile and reassured her, “I will be there. You can keep me company. What do you think?”

“Fine,” Susan nodded. “But I need to make it clear that I will never date with him. I only agreed to go there because you asked me to.”

“Well, I know. You are the best.” Sheryl smiled back at her.

As she managed to persuade Susan to go to the party, she thought of Holley’s recent visit to her. “By the way, what did Holley say when she came here?” Sheryl asked.

“Nothing important,” Susan answered. “She didn’t stay here for long. She brought many presents though, and spoke mostly to my parents. I avoided her.”

“Didn’t you get to talk to her?” Sheryl queried, squinting at her. ‘It was impossible for Holley to have come here without speaking with Susan,’ she thought.

Susan took a glance at Sheryl before she answered, “Before she left, she went to my room and talked to me for a while. She said that she thought highly of me and asked me not to be fooled by others to leave the company. She also mentioned that she wanted to develop my skills as she did to you, and that she would arrange a promotion for me after I came back to the company.”

‘Holley is so good at bribing people. Does she still think that she could do anything she wants just because she is rich?’ Sheryl thought in disdain.

“Well, there is one more thing, Sher,” she added. “She even insinuated to ask me if I saw who hit me.”

“And what did you say?” she asked eagerly. ‘I knew it. Holley couldn’t have come to Susan without a reason. It turned out that she wanted to know if she saw her face after she hit her,’ Sheryl noted to herself.

“I told her that I couldn’t see the driver’s face because it was dark.” Susan knitted her brows and continued, “I wasn’t sure whether she bought it or not. But she didn’t raise any other questions afterwards.

She even said that she would avenge me once she found out who it was. It was so funny.” Out of concern, she then reminded Sheryl, “Stay away from Holley, Sher. She is a dangerous person.”

“I know,” she nodded. As something occurred to her, she continued, “Well, Susan, one more thing.

Do you remember who brought you to the hospital after the accident?” Susan hesitated for a long time, and she finally answered, “It’s Mr. Obrien.” She had already spoken with George previously and agreed that she wouldn’t tell anyone about this. But since Sheryl asked, she couldn’t help but tell her frankly. “Mr. Obrien?

Do you mean George Obrien?” Sheryl asked, her eyes dilated with surprise. “Yes,” Susan confirmed with a nod.

“After the accident, Holley drove away. Then Mr. Obrien appeared out of nowhere and sent me to the hospital. He paid the admission fee and accompanied me on all my lab tests. He didn’t leave until the doctor had confirmed that I was out of danger.” She sighed in relief and continued with her story, “Before he left the ward, he begged me not to tell anyone that Holley hit me.

He also said that he would try his best to satisfy my demands as long as I didn’t sue her.”

“So you agreed?”

Sheryl asked with an astonished expression. “Yes,” Susan replied with a bitter smile.

“Anyway, I didn’t get badly injured. Although Holley hit me and ran away, Mr. Obrien helped me and treated me very well. I can’t be too greedy.” “Greedy?

I think you are an idiot,” Sheryl retorted. “Why didn’t you tell him that you wanted to terminate your contract with his company?” Her question left Susan stunned. With a light pat on her forehead, she responded, “I forgot it.”

“You really are a silly girl.”

Sheryl criticized her with a resigned expression. Susan stuck out her tongue and tried not to laugh. She said, “I was freaking out at that time. How would I think of that?”

She acted like a child who had made a mistake in front of her parents. She stole a glance at Sheryl to see her response. As the latter wore a livid expression, she changed the subject.

She started to speak for George. “Sher, I really think Mr. Obrien is a good person. People in our company all know that he treats Holley very well and does everything that she asks. He is not only handsome but also from a rich family. More importantly, he protects Holley without letting her know even after he learned what kind of person she is. It’s rare to find such a determined and affectionate man in this world.”

“In my eyes, he is an idiot,” Sheryl commented angrily. “Now that he knew Holley’s true colors, he should have helped her change herself and become a better person, but he didn’t. After knowing what she did, he didn’t stop her and still tried to protect her. This is not love but indulgence. He will regret it one day.”

Watching how stern Sheryl was, Susan didn’t dare speak anymore in George’s favor. Instead she stuck her tongue out playfully to ease the tension between them.

Taking a look at her amusing act, Sheryl lectured, “You should learn something from this. You shouldn’t have let Holley go so easily just because George sincerely apologized to you. Did you forget how she bullied and hurt you? This time you let her get away with it. What if she does something worse next time and ends up getting you into a bigger trouble?”
