Chereads / LOVE ME IF YOU CAN / Chapter 22 - SHOPPING

Chapter 22 - SHOPPING

Hey, Chris, have you finished your work? We have to go for buying wedding dresses, Cherry asked while sitting on the sofa in Chris's office.

"Just give me five minutes princess, I just need to sign these documents then we can go', Chris answered while reading documents in his hand.

"Very well then I'm going to my office just give me a call when you will be free", she said and left his office.

Cherry went to her office and called Emily for the briefing about the event they were going to arrange for Wei's. Emily came with files and coffee. Here is your coffee Miss Yang she said politely and put the cup on her table. Cherry took the cup and looked at Emily.

"Miss Yang, we have decided about the food and about the drinks that we are going to serve, I have seen the location and Wei's has a big hall in their basement, we can use it for organizing the event and about the parking of the cars, we can arrange a parking lot as there are many parking lots available in that location.", Emily explained everything professionally.

Cherry looked at the documents and then looked at Emily and asked, "What about the decoration?"

"We have not decided anything yet as we need your help in it", Emily replied hesitantly.

Cherry thought for some time and then put her empty cup on the table, the environment of the office was stuffed, Cherry crossed her fingers and kept her hands on the table. Cherry looked coldly at Emily and said, "You have two days to make a new report and make sure to make it better this time, and about the decoration, we will go with brighter decoration." "You can go know", She said while thinking about something.

Cherry is a calm person but when it comes to working, she is too strict. She doesn't like any type of mistake in the work. Cherry was working on her laptop when Chris entered her office.

"We should go know", he said while fixing his coat. Cherry nodded and got up from her chair, she grabbed her purse and they both left.

Charles was waiting for Eric at the ZEE bar, He had whisky in his hand and a straight face. The atmosphere of this private room was so gloomy. Eric entered with Charles's man behind him. They both bowed to Charles and his man left the room and closed the door before going out.

"What do you wanna talk about MR. Charles?", Eric said while crossing his leg.

Charles didn't like his behavior but kept his cool, he looked at him with a death glare and asked, "Why are you following Cherry? and what does your MR. X wants to do with Cheery?"

Eric Smirked and looked towards Charles and replied, "I'm doing what my boss wants me to do and About his relation with Cherry, I'm sorry but I don't know."

Charles gritted his teeth and said furiously, "Stay away from Cherry, if I will ever see you near her, I will slit your head and you know that in our business words mean everything. You can leave now." Eric got up and bowed to Charles and then exit the room. Charles was so angry, he gulped his drink and then threw the glass on the floor which shattered into pieces.

Cherry was trying wedding dresses, she just wanted to buy something simple and elegant, she saw a dress which had net work with some pearls attached to it. She wore the dress and looked in the mirror then she turned towards Chris. Chris was speechless, he was not able to explain the beauty in front of his eyes. He just nodded. Cherry looked at the salesgirl and told her to pack that dress.

They paid for the clothes and got out of the shop. Chris looked towards Cherry and asked her, "Are you hungry?" "Yess", Cherry replied while putting shopping bags on the back seat of the car. Chris opened the passenger seat and signaled her to get in. Cherry got inside and he closed the door. Then he went to the driver's side and drove off the car towards Cherry's favorite Restaurant.

They got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant. They got a table in the corner, they sat on the seats and ordered the food.

"Cherry, you are looking lost, all good.", he asked worriedly

"I'm just thinking of mom, If she would be fine, She would be very happy to see me in that wedding dress getting married to you.", she said sadly.

"It's okay princess everything gonna be fine", he assured her while holding her hand. Cherry gave him a faint smile. Then they started eating their food. After finishing dinner Chris drove her home and left.

Cherry entered her house with a lot of shopping bags. she turned on the light and got startled by Seeing Charles lying on the sofa.

"What the ....? What are you doing here?", she screamed while keeping her hand on her heart.

"you want to kill me?", she complained while controlling her anger.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but I was missing you, so I'm here.", he said while squinting his eyes trying to adjust to the light.

Cherry picked the shopping bags from the floor and kept them on the table. Then she went to the kitchen to fetch water for herself. She came back with the water and sat on the sofa and drank the water, Then she looked in his direction and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"No, I didn't get time to eat dinner," he said and got up from the sofa.

"I'm going out for smoking, I'll come in fifteen minutes," he said and went out of the room.

Cherry signed and got up and went towards the kitchen. She boiled noodles and made a bowl of chicken noodles. She came out of the kitchen and kept the bowl and chopsticks on the coffee table and went to her room.

Mr. X was sitting in his office when he got a call from Eric. Mr. X picked the call

"I did as you told me to do.", Eric informed him calmly, he just smirked and hung up the call. He got up from the chair and walked towards the exit with a grin on his face.
