The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 201 Unexpected Visit Sherry was new to a lot of things. But teach her something carefully once, and she'd catch on fast. Next time it came up, she'd do it better than them-almost perfect. It put them on edge a little. Good thing their jobs were special-they couldn't get fired easily. Otherwise, they swore Sherry could take all their places by herself. She was that smart. But the Bodes treated her like she was worthless. Now they finally got what people meant by "being blind." "Okay, be careful on the road," Sherry said. Max's eyes teared up. "Hearing that makes my heart warm.

I don't think anyone's said that to me since I was a kid-at least not that I can remember. "Sherry, say it again! Ah!" He didn't get the chance. Lucas grabbed him by the neck and dragged him away. Sherry watched them go. For some reason, Max, Tyrone, and the rest all felt the same to her. They had this sad look about them, but it only lasted a second. It was like the sadness in their hearts was already gone. Or maybe she was just imagining it. Sherry headed to the kitchen. She was hungry. But to her surprise, there was a plate of good food sitting on the table.

She'd been doing most of the cooking lately. But Lucas took care of all the dishes, wiped the table, and mopped the floors. "Guys and girls working together makes the job easier," he'd say. She never got respect from the Bode family. Not from the Campbell family, either. But here? She got it. Sherry stared at the food. It didn't look great, but just then, her phone rang. The number was unknown. But Sherry answered it anyway. 1/3 That number used to be hers. She had tons of services tied to it. Back then, she and Gilbert were broke-times were tight. So she canceled the number.

The phone plan was linked to it, so she just let it go entirely. Of course, she'd hoped it would mean a new start. All the contacts tied to that number were the Campbells. Letting go of the number felt like letting go of the whole family. At least, that's what she thought. She never guessed the Bode family would be the second place she wanted to run from. What were the chances? Someone using her old number to call her new one? There were so many people in this country. She might as well pick up. Sure enough, the voice on the other end sounded familiar.

She knew it-if it wasn't someone she knew, the odds were slim. Like winning the lottery. "I knew you'd answer," the voice said. "Does this number ring a bell?" It was Julia. Her voice was calm, relaxed-like nothing bothered her. "Yeah, it does," Sherry said. "Guess times are hard. People are digging through other people's trash now." Julia didn't even flinch at the insult. It was like Sherry wasn't talking about her at all. She was good at tuning out rude words. She didn't care what anyone said. Maybe she was used to it. Or maybe she was just that strong.

If it was the latter, Sherry almost admired her. "Come meet me," Julia said. "Why do you think I will?" Sherry asked. She was confused. How did Julia know she'd agree? "Don't you want to know some things? Besides, Lucas is gone. You got nothing better to do, right?" How did she know Lucas was gone? Sherry glanced around without thinking. But she shook the thought off fast. 2/3 Julia couldn't get into Lucas's place. No way. "Okay, I'll come," Sherry said. She agreed. But then she sat back down at the table. She wasn't wasting that meal. Not a single bite.

Sherry got to the place Julia told her about. She was an hour late. Surprisingly, Julia was right there-about to sit down. Julia took her seat. Then she saw Sherry walk in. She smiled, like she'd known Sherry would be late. Sherry sat across from her. Julia cut to the chase. "I thought you were different from other women. But you use the same cheap tricks to mess with others." Julia figured Sherry would come-but she'd never show up on time. So Julia acted like she'd planned to be late too, just to match Sherry's "game." "I'm not late just to mess with you," Sherry said.

Julia lifted the corner of her lips a little. It was obvious-she thought Sherry was making excuses. She didn't believe a word Sherry said. "Lucas made me breakfast before he left," Sherry said. "I ate it first. I knew if I saw you before eating, I wouldn't be able to stomach anything. "After all, you're so good at playing innocent. Might make me choke." Julia's eyebrows furrowed for a split second. But it wasn't because of what Sherry said. In her mind, any woman who talked like that was just jealous of her. 3/3 admin
