ENCHANTED LOVE - Season 7 Episode 89

“Mrs. Martinez?” Kitty cried with bewilderment. She was confused as to why she was slapped by Chris.

Chris flashed a cold glare at Kitty and said, “Remember that I will not spare you if you dare speak ill of Sheryl once again.”

“And as for the rest of you girls,” she added as she fiercely looked around, “if you dare bully Sheryl from now onwards, I will beat you up.”

All the models lowered their heads as they heard Chris’ words. Chris glared at Kitty and continued, “I don’t care about whatever woman my brother chooses to be with because I trust he has good taste. At least I know he will never choose the likes of you, so you should just give up chasing him as early as possible.”

Chris sneered and added, “If I come to know you all are still bullying Sheryl, I promise that you will not find any job in Ylanbu. All doors will close to you. You are most welcome to test it if you don’t believe my words.”

Kitty’s face became pale with fear. Chris pushed the crowd out of her way and walked up to Sheryl.

Sheryl had heard the scolding and raised her head as Chris approached her. She looked gratefully at Chris and said, “Thanks.”

“You are welcome,” Chris replied. Chris was very annoyed with Kitty and she was surprised when she saw Sheryl’s indifferent attitude. Chris could tell that Sheryl was accustomed to Kitty’s behavior.

“Why do you not get angry? The words they said to you were really harsh,” Chris asked Sheryl in a wondering voice.

“Why should I waste my energy by getting angry?” Sheryl smiled and said, “Nothing can be changed by anger. Kitty won’t change her nature and she will still speak ill of me again the next time. I was really angry the first time they said nasty things about me, but now… I have become accustomed to it and don’t care.”

Sheryl glanced gently at Chris and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Their harsh words do not have the power to hurt me.”

“You are just too tolerant of them,” Chris said in disgust. She heaved a sigh and added, “If they behave in this way again, you just call me and I will teach them a lesson.”

“Thanks. But you don’t have to do this for me. I really mean it,” Sheryl refused her offer with a smile. ‘Chris is still like a big girl even though she has married and has a child,’ Sheryl thought. “I don’t want to disturb you with all such petty things. Besides, it’s no big deal for me, really,” she said to Chris.

Sheryl could predict that Kitty would treat her with increased vengeance after this episode with Chris. Sheryl knew she must face further trouble caused by Kitty.

But Sheryl didn’t mention all this to Chris.

After the short break, Gerry ordered all of them to continue with the rehearsal. Chris slipped away to Charles’ office. When she entered she found Sam and Charles talking about Sheryl.

There were twins in her womb before she went missing. Now she had only Shirley. Charles had searched for her twin for a long time but to no avail. He was very worried about his missing child and Shirley’s twin.

“I can’t ask Sheryl anything in her present condition. What should I do? I have to know what has happened to the second baby,” Charles asked Sam. He had no choice left but to ask for Sam’s help now.

Sam considered a while and then said to Charles, “Actually… there is a person who must surely know the other baby’s whereabouts.”

Charles was bright enough to understand that Sam was referring to Anthony.

“Do you mean… Anthony?” Charles asked with a frown. Sheryl’s memory loss and missing were closely related with Anthony. Probably, Anthony would also know where the other child was.

Sam nodded slightly and said to Charles, “Anthony must surely know. But we don’t know if he will reveal anything to us or not.”

“His willingness does not matter. I should have a talk with him and try to get it out of him,” Charles said in a cold voice.

Chris opened the door of the office and entered at this moment. “What are you both talking about?” she asked.

“Nothing special,” Sam dodged. Sam thought it was better for Chris to know as little as possible. She had a habit of causing a lot of trouble without really intending to. “Why are you back so early? Didn’t you go to see Sheryl?” Sam asked.
“I met her. Now she is busy with her rehearsal so I came here,” she replied. Chris sat down beside Sam. She drank the tea in front of Sam and a few more cups in one go.

Charles looked at Chris with amusement. He said, “Drink slowly. It is a waste of good tea if you do not relish each sip but just gulp it down.”

Chris glanced at Charles with mock discontent and complained, “I just drank a few cups of your tea and you scolded me for it. You are so mean.”

“I didn’t mean that. Don’t get me wrong,” Charles defended himself.

“What’s going on between you and Sheryl?” Chris asked Charles with concern. “I found the other models bullying her when I went to see her. The models were saying many harsh words to Sheryl and I taught them a lesson that they will not forget for a few days at least,” Chris said with pride.

She arched a brow and said to Charles, “Now that Sheryl is working in your company, why don’t you help her? Why do you just let them to bully her without doing anything to protect her?”

“You won’t understand,” Charles answered. Charles got restless as soon as Chris said those words to him. He did know those models often bullied Sheryl, but it was an issue that would not be solved just by scolding them. He was thinking about a more effective way to solve the problem. He was worried that his plan might fail if Chris was involved.
Charles looked at Chris with helpless eyes and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to get involved in this matter? Why did you…”

Charles was interrupted by Chris, “Maybe you can see Sheryl being bullied by others, but I can’t. If I know those models have dared to harass her again, I will not spare any of those bitches. I will punish them mercilessly.”

“And what if they fight you? What will you do after that?” Charles asked her. “How can you be so stupid? I found you have become even sillier since you has a child,” Charles scolded.

Chris was annoyed by her brother’s words. “I did that just to help Sheryl. Do you mean to say that I should not do anything when she is bullied? I interfered for your sake and on your behalf. How can you blame me for that?” Chris defended.

“Chris!” Sam tried to calm her down. Then he said to Chris, “Have you forgotten the advice I gave you before coming here? Now you should…”

Chris interrupted him even before he could complete his sentence, “I just did the right thing! But now you two blame me like I have committed a severe crime. I am very upset with you both.” Chris was very angry with Sam and Charles and her mood darkened.
