Chapter 60 – Why didn’t you marry her?
Never before in Sherry’s memory had Aaron stood in front of her, in this way.
With a few words, he held off the naysayers and attacks on her.
“This kind of traffic accident is usually handled by the police and insurance companies, with illegal extortionate practices like yours?” He raised his eyebrows, an unmistakable smile of contempt on his lips.
“We didn’t say anything either.” The men looked at each other, all without the aggressive aura they had earlier.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the driver immediately coughed, “How long will it take to wait for the police and the insurance company to come over, huh? Don’t you need to pay for delaying me for so long?”
All at once he found a reason to harden his tone, even as he met Aaron’s deep eyes.
“I’ve already called the police.” Aaron glanced towards the far intersection, “As for my insurance company it should be here sooner than the police.”
“And, you just said, compensation? Indeed, there should be compensation for the eight minutes I’ve delayed to negotiate a multi-million dollar project.” He inclined his head sideways and scanned the van’s license plate, bringing Sherry along with him, “as well as the cost of moral damages for this assistant and driver of mine, which also needs to be accounted for.”
“My lawyer will talk to you about exactly how much to pay.”
The men were dumbfounded on the spot.
Before he could react, Aaron’s insurance man had arrived on the scene.
“Mr. Swift please get in the car and I will take care of the aftermath.” So said the insurance commissioner, handing over the keys to the car that had been driven to him.
Aaron frowned.
Eyes fell on Sherry, “I drive?”
Sherry reacted immediately and took the car keys.
Seeing Aaron get in, she followed suit and sat in the driver’s seat, but before she stepped on the gas, she looked at him anxiously, “What if, what if there’s another accident?”
Aaron is clearly getting impatient.
He looked over coldly, “You wouldn’t be stupid enough to make the same mistake twice.”
Sherry immediately replied, “No.”
Another slow whisper of a man’s voice came from behind him, “Besides, it wasn’t your responsibility just now, so why won’t you ever explain?”
There was a bit of wind outside the window, and Sherry just dismissed it as her illusion.
How could Aaron say such things to her?
When I looked up, the man’s eyes were closed and he was leaning back in his seat to rest.
And as he said, because of this little collision, Night Group was not able to sign the contract with the partner and missed out on a $50 million project partnership which, in the end, went to Gregorio.
Nola came to Aaron with that project contract and said straight away, “Aaron, it was my brother’s fault before, he negotiated this project especially for you.”
She spread a smile, expecting Aaron to accept it readily.
Without thinking about it, he sat there, frowned and turned to her coldly for the first time, “Take it back, I don’t need it.”
Nola rushed forward, “Are you still mad at my brother? He really didn’t mean to steal Night Group’s project; he was just worried about me.”
The smile on Aaron’s lips intensified.
“Worried about what, that you won’t be able to marry me?” He leaned back in his chair and the two men drew a little further apart.
Nola’s cheeks flushed as he spoke bluntly.
There was actually some shyness, “After all, we’ve been dating for so many years, it’s only natural that our families want us to get married sooner, I guess, and I’m sure Uncle Yu feels the same way.”
LOL.
Sherry, clutching a pile of papers in her hands, followed Eral without noticing that Eral had moved a step to the side.
Her whole body slammed against the door.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
The papers clattered and slid to the floor.
It ruined any hint of the charming atmosphere inside the office.
Nola hates it so much that fire can come out of her eyes.
As soon as she turned to face Aaron, she became so soft and gentle again.
Eral coughed, “Mr. Swift, these are the information you asked for.”
Aaron watched Sherry half-crouched on the floor picking it up, his eyes wavering, “I have things to do.”
Nola is furious and anxious when Sherry barges in and ruins the atmosphere, but she can’t get angry in front of Aaron.
I had to grit my teeth and say, “Well then, I won’t bother you with your work, but for this project, I’ll stay for now, and I’ll come over with my brother later if you have time.”
Sherry re-stacked the papers and put them on the table, all amused by Nola’s thoughtless remarks.
Where on earth had she gotten the confidence to think that Aaron valued this case and the relationship with the Garcia Family that much?
No, what this man values most in this world is his dignity.
No one, no one, can change his bottom line.
Nola thought she had put up her best front, but she had only turned around and taken two steps when she heard a, “Take it away,” from behind her.
The office doors were open and Nola couldn’t stop smiling in embarrassment.
Aaron, his eyes full of chill, stepped away from behind his desk and, step by step, closed in on Nola.
“Look, I’m not the same Aaron that I used to be, the one who had to look up to the Garcia Family. I’ve paid back everything I could to the Garcia Family over the years. ”
Nola’s eyes were full of shock and it was only now that she realized she had hurt Aaron.
“No, Aaron, I didn’t mean it like that, neither did my brother, I just thought we’d be family sooner or later, do we really have to be so clear?” She pursed the corners of her lips in a petulant, I-see-you look.
“There is.”
The man spoke coldly and instructed Eral, “Send Nola back and see her through the door.”
“Yes, Mr. Swift,” Eral said, immediately making a gesture of invitation.
Nola was pushed to this point, she could neither leave nor stay, and finally, her eyes flushed with anxiety, she left in anguish.
Sherry was right there in the office watching the whole time.
She would have loved to leave, but Nola had just stood in the doorway and she couldn’t get past.
Now that Nola was gone, Aaron slammed the door with a bang.
He seemed to have forgotten that Sherry was still there, and his face, which was usually cold, was even more expressionless at this time, the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.
Sherry frowned helplessly; she should have just left!
This moment, watching Aaron lose his temper, quietly moved her feet and headed for the door, slipping out quietly while Aaron didn’t notice her.
“Why do you think, I never married Nola?”
With one word, Sherry’s entire movement froze.
Does it matter to her?
She had been curious about this too, but she was no longer curious.
“Mr. Swift, what did you say?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, you heard me loud and clear.”
