Lily smiled and remained silent.
The concert was the top priority at the moment, and there were still many things that
required her attention and confirmation.
“Well, I’ll go and take care of things first. I’m relying on you today.”
“No problem.”
After bidding farewell to Lily, Sherry breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she almost rushed into the VIP room, but fortunately, Maverick happened to
pass by and stopped her. It was said that there weren’t enough makeup artists, so she
was directly called to do makeup for Christopher.
Sherry understood that Maverick was able to help her, probably because of Mr. Sniper.
Even though she was a professional makeup artist who had diligently studied makeup,
when she first arrived here, she probably could only do makeup for the backup dancers,

But now she was in charge of Christopher’s styling, and Maverick still had a lot of trust
in her.
Or perhaps he had a lot of trust in Mr. Sniper.
Just then, there was a burst of cheers from the fans outside, and the music and lights.
started simultaneously, signaling the beginning of the concert.
The people who had been busy backstage had all gone out, leaving only a few
exhausted makeup artists lying around.
Sherry took out her phone and quickly typed on the screen.
“Are you busy?”
“I’m watching Christopher’s concert live.”
Sherry chuckled. She knew that when it came to her life, Sniper might be late, but he
never missed it.
He should have already known about her doing makeup for Christopher just now, right?

After thinking for a moment, she edited a line of text and sent it over. “What do your
think of Christopher’s makeup today?”
“I don’t know.”
I don’t know. Sherry felt a bit uneasy:
Was he indirectly telling her that it wasn’t very good?
But the reality proved that Sherry was overthinking.

Sniper’s next message quickly followed. “This is my first time watching a star’s concert,
so I don’t know what other concerts are like. But seeing a few female fans in the
audience crying with excitement, it should be pretty good.”
Sherry burst into laughter.
“You’re watching the concert at the company?”
“At home.”

You’re back home?”
“Yeah, I had a dinner appointment, but someone suddenly stood me up, saying they
were too busy and didn’t have time to have dinner with me, so I came back first.”
Sherry bit her lip, feeling a bit guilty.
“There’s soup in the fridge. How about heating it up first? It might take me a while to
finish here, but I’ll make food for you when I get home. What do you want to eat?”
“No need to eat.”

Sherry frowned. “How can you not eat? It’s okay; tell me what you want to eat; anything
is fine.”
This time, Mr. Sniper’s message hadn’t come back for a long time.
Sherry waited for a while but didn’t receive his reply. She thought it might be because of
work–related matters and didn’t pay much attention to it. She put away her phone and
prepared to tidy up the messy dressing table

“Sherry, I’m heading to the gym now. Come out and find me when you’re done.”
Sherry thought for a moment. He probably wanted to eat outside.
So she agreed, “Okay, see you later.”
“See you later.”
Just as she put away her phone, she saw Camila rushing in with a coffee takeout, her
face all red, panting heavily. “Sherry…”
Sherry quickly went forward to support her. “Why are you in such a state? Sit down and
rest for a while.”
Camila glanced around the dressing room and frowned. ‘Is the monster not here?”
“No, he should have already left. Did you go out to buy him coffee?”
Camila was so tired that she didn’t even want to blink her eyes. “The monster is really
here to mess with me. He insists on drinking coffee at this time. Doesn’t he know that

the area outside the venue is already packed? Today, I experienced what it’s like to be
going in and out of enemy territory for times! My goodness, I almost suffocated. And
the result is that I bought the coffee, and he disappeared. He’s just playing with me!”
Sherry poured her a glass of cold water from the water dispenser. “Let’s not talk about it
for now. Take a deep breath first.”
But Camila couldn’t stop talking.
“I’m so exhausted! But it seems to have worked. Let me tell you, Sherry, the monster is
going to have dinner with Mr. Sniper tonight! He promised to take me along! Then I’ll
finally know who Mr. Sniper really is!”
As soon as Sherry heard this, she knew things had taken a turn for the worse.
“Camila, let me tell you something too.”
“Yeah, what is it?” Camila waved her hand, suddenly realizing something; her face
suddenly changed. “Don’t tell me you already know who Mr. Sniper is, and I just wasted.
my time?”

Sherry shook her head. “No, no, I still don’t know his identity.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Camila smirked. “Sherry, I’ve gone to great lengths for you.
Even if I didn’t go to great lengths, it’s almost the same, right? In the future, you better
make delicious food to thank me.”
Sherry smiled reluctantly. “Well, there’s no problem with me cooking something
delicious for you. However, you might not be able to see Mr. Sniper tonight.”

“Why?” Camila jumped up directly and asked, “Did the monster change his mind again?
Or does he want to bring another secretary along?”
“Mr. Sniper just called me and said that he has already arrived home, so there’s no need
to go to dinner tonight.”
“What?” Camila was almost going crazy. “So the monster lied to me about having
dinner with Mr. Sniper? Is he intentionally playing with me?”
Sherry coughed lightly, still not daring to tell her the exact words of Mr. Sniper.
Chapter 126 A Long Way to Go
Silly girl, Maverick deceived you just to have some alone time with you!
Sherry chuckled softly. “It might not necessarily be to play with you. Maybe he has
other arrangements that require your presence.”
“What kind of arrangements? If Mr. Sniper isn’t coming, then why should I bother
going?” Camila exclaimed angrily, rising from her seat with fierce determination. “No, I
must go out and find out what he’s up to! I won’t allow him to treat me like a plaything!”
“Camila…”
“Sherry, don’t try to convince me otherwise. I truly don’t understand why the monster
has an issue with me. We had no conflicts in the past, and now he’s suddenly behaving
so strangely.”
As she spoke, Camila had already stormed out of the dressing room.
Sherry pondered for a moment but decided not to pursue her.
Just a while ago, Camila had called her, and Maverick had suggested picking her up.

Despite being occupled with Christopher’s makeup, she had managed to catch most of
their conversation.
She could only hope that her bewildered friend would regain her senses soon.
Otherwise, it seemed that Maverick would face a difficult journey ahead, as the road.
ahead was long and challenging!
