On the other end of the line, her mother asked, "Sherry, are you working again?"
Sherry replied hesitantly, "Ah... yes, what else can I do if I don't work?"
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Sherry looked back at the man walking towards her and quickly took back her
gaze. "Mom, I'm busy. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'll call you back in the evening."
Mrs. Perry said, "Okay, go ahead with your work. Your dad and I will arrive soon. When you're done, call your friend
and we'll have lunch together."
"Wait! “Sherry quickly asked, "Have you arrived in City N?"
"Yes, your father has a friend whose daughter is getting married, so we come here to attend the wedding and pay
you a visit by the way." Mrs. Perry continued, "Aren't you busy? Don't worry about us. We know the way. We won't
hold you up."
Even when the call went through, Sherry was still in a shocked state.
Daniel squatted before her. Before he could utter a word, Sherry abruptly stood up and searched for her clothes. At
the same time, she muttered, "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die..."
Daniel glanced to the side and picked up the bra on the floor and handed it to her.
Sherry paused for a second, but she didn't have time to be embarrassed. She reached out to take it and put it on
directly in front of him.
When Sherry was busy finding clothes and putting them on, Daniel had already picked his clothes up from the
ground, neatly dressed, and stood at the door to wait for her.
After putting on her shoes, Sherry saw that he was leaning against the wall and pretended to be ready to leave at
any time. She asked, "What are you doing?"
Daniel replied frankly, "I'll go with you."
Sherry refused repeatedly, "Don't go. What are you doing? My mother will beat me to death if she sees you!"
"Rest assured, I will block her for you."

Sherry ignored him and ran downstairs to take a taxi with her mobile phone. She was as anxious as on a hot pan.
Daniel, however, did not understand why she was so nervous. He said slowly, "Tell your mother directly that you're
going to shoot a scene, and then send a message to Ms. Radomil."
It seemed to make sense.
However—
She slowly turned around to look at Daniel, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Daniel was confused.
And he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Sherry calmed down in an instant. She took out her mobile phone and texted Stella while saying, "You are so
experienced. You must have used this trick on girls many times before, huh?"
The atmosphere became strange in an instant.
He licked his lips and stepped forward to explain, "That's not what I meant..."
Before Daniel could finish his words, Sherry had already hailed a cab. She bent down to get into the cab and
slammed the door shut.
OMG!
The efforts during this time would go in vain.
Daniel had one hand on his waist as he looked in the direction that the taxi had left. A look of regret appeared on
his face.
In the workshop, as soon as Stella received Sherry's text message, a young girl came to knock on the door. "Ms.
Radomil, there is a couple saying that they are here for Sherry."
Stella immediately got up and walked out of the door. "I see. Go get some water."
"Sure."
Stella walked to the door and saw Sherry's parents standing there. She walked over and said, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs.
Perry. I'm a friend of Sherry."
Mrs. Perry was looking around the studio. When she heard Stella's voice, she immediately looked away. When she
looked at her, her face was full of smiles. She grabbed her hand warmly and said, "You must be Stella. Sherry has
told me a lot about you. She is alone in City N. Thank you for taking care of her."
Stella said with a smile, "Auntie, don't say that. Sherry is the one who's taking care of me."
Mrs. Perry said, "You’re friends. She shall do that."
Stella nodded, "Yes."
She said again, "Auntie, Uncle, let's go in and sit for a while. Sherry went to shoot the scene and it will take a while
for him to come back."
Mr. Perry responded repeatedly. Mrs. Perry looked at the continuous rain outside and felt a little distressed. She
sighed and said, "Why was she still going out to shoot in the weather at this time?"
...
Perhaps Sherry was so anxious that she completely forgot that it was raining outside today.
Stella continued without any change in expression, "Auntie, they were filming in the shed. It wouldn't get wet."
Mrs. Perry heaved a sigh of relief and smiled again. "That's good. Let's talk inside."
Stella took them to the lounge.
Mrs. Perry had been holding Stella's hand since she appreciated Stella so much.
Then she said, " How beautiful and capable you are! Do you have a boyfriend? Sherry has a cousin who is a
handsome man. What do you think?"

"Auntie, I'm married..."
"Oh. Sherry had told me about it. Look at my bad memory." Mrs. Perry patted her head and sighed, "Well, it's good
for you to marry at the right age and have children. Sherry was always stubborn and said that it's nice to be single.
Oh! But when she's old and sick, who's gonna look after her?!"
Without waiting for Stella to reply, Mrs. Perry continued, "Hey, Stella, do you have anyone suitable to introduce to
Sherry? The conditions don't have to be too good. The most important thing is to be steady and good to Sherry. In
this way, me and her father won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives."
Mr. Perry, who had been nodding, wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Have you forgotten
Daniel?"
But Mrs. Perry glared at him, so he stopped talking and picked up the teacup to drink.
Under Mrs. Perry's expectant gaze, Stella said after a moment of silence, "Actually... I also have an elder brother."
When Mrs. Perry heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. "That's good. You are bestie, and if she marries your brother
again, won't you be closer friends for a lifetime?"
Stella nodded and said, "I think so too."
Mrs. Perry patted Stella's hand solemnly and reminded her, "Stella, I'll leave this matter to you. Take it to heart..."
"Mom!"
Sherry finally appeared at the door, gasping for breath.
Mrs. Perry suddenly stopped talking. Obviously, she knew that Sherry didn't like her mentioning these things, so she
just gave Stella a look.
If Sherry's mother knew that she was referring to Daniel, she would probably blacklist her overnight.
Stella did not dare to stay any longer. She stood up guiltily and said to Sherry, "Sherry, it's your time with your
parents. I have something to do."
"You can go." Sherry replied.
After Stella left, Sherry went to pull her mother and took their luggage. "You must be tired after flying all the way
here. I'll take you to the hotel."
