Sherry declined once again, “No need; he will inform me when the time comes.”
Malcolm suddenly burst into laughter. “Sherry, are you defending him?”
“He is my partner, the father of my unborn child,” Sherry said. “Mr. Ford, let’s face reality.
You are infatuated with me, but you don’t truly love me.
“I do love you! Sherry, I truly love you!” Malcolm suddenly rushed forward, gripping her
shoulder with excitement. “Why don’t you believe me? What do I have to do for you to
believe?”
Sherry struggled. “There’s no need to do anything, Mr. Ford. We have truly ended our
relationship.”
“Impossible,” Malcolm said coldly. “We haven’t divorced yet. You are still my wife, and
eventually, you will come back to me.”
Ring ring. Sherry’s phone rang.

Malcolm casually threw it on the living room sofa.
Sherry looked up at him and asked, “Mr. Ford, may I answer the call first?”
Malcolm gazed at her deeply, pondered for a moment, and finally let her go.
Sherry skillfully concealed the small knife in her hand and slipped out, answering the
phone, “Hello?”
“Hello, is this Ms. Wilson?” It was the voice of an unfamiliar woman.
“Yes. May I ask who you are?”
“Oh, Ms. Wilson, hello. We met before, backstage at Christopher’s concert. They all call
me Lily, Christopher’s manager.”
Sherry frowned. She knew about Lily. Camila had mentioned her more than once.
She was the top manager of Morgan Entertainment; she was very efficient and
capable Sherry had witnessed Lily scolding an intern at the concert, and she was really

strict. However, it was clear that Lily was not the type to lose her temper easily. She was
strict for a reason; otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought up so many popular stars.
But regardless, Sherry never expected Lily to call her.
“Is it because you can’t contact Camila? Don’t be angry, I’ll help you find her.”
“No, no, no, Camila is already working at the company. I just asked her for your contact
information. Lily’s tone was very polite, with a hint of request: “Um, Ms. Wilson, I hope
I’m not being too forward, but I would like to have a chat with
you. Are

Sherry couldn’t have asked for anything better!
As long as she could get away from Malcolm, she would be extremely happy!
“Sure, I’m free now. Where should we meet?”
I heard from Camila that you’re pregnant and shouldn’t exert yourself too much, sol
thought would come to your place. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone your address. I just

Sherry walked to the door, suspiciously looking outside through the peephole.

A woman with exquisite makeup and elegant attire was standing outside, holding her
phone, and waiting for her response.
Sherry opened the door for her.
Lily smiled warmly and said, “Hello, Ms. Wilson.”
“Hello, please come in.”
Sherry stepped aside and let her into the room.
As soon as Lily entered, she bumped into Malcolm, who was standing behind Sherry.
Clearly, she didn’t expect to meet the two main characters of the story here, especially
in such a place.
In a hotel room, a man and a woman alone together inevitably made people think of

“Mr. Ford?” Lily quickly composed herself and even half–jokingly said, “I didn’t expect
Ms. Wilson to know Mr. Ford as well.”
Sherry informed her that Malcolm was about to become her brother–in–law. His new
wife was her cousin.
Lily suddenly realized, “Oh, I see. Congratulations to Mr. Ford in advance, and
congratulations to Ms. Wilson as well.”
Sherry smiled but didn’t say anything. She turned her head and glanced at Malcolm,
who was lost in thought.
“Mr. Ford, I already know the date of your wedding. I will arrive on time. Thank you for

Malcolm blinked. He had also met Lily before.

encountering someone in the entertainment industry with a lot of media resources at
this critical moment.
Malcolm said, “No need to see me off. You two can chat. I’ll leave first.”
Sherry didn’t say anything, but Lily politely stood up to see him off and said, “Take care,
Mr. Ford.”
When she returned to the room, it was obvious that Sherry let out a sigh of relief.
Lily noticed something amiss, but it was a personal matter, and she didn’t want to
inquire.
“Lily, would you like something to drink?”
Lily smiled and waved her hand, sitting down on the sofa opposite her. “No, thank you.”
Sherry nodded. “I wonder why you came to see me today.”
“Oh, Lily rubbed her hands and looked troubled. “It’s like this; the makeup you did for
Christopher at the last concert was really exceptional and suited him perfectly. But

afterwards, I hired several makeup artists in succession, comparing them to the photos
and videos, but it was difficult to capture that charm again. So I was thinking, could you
join our company as Christopher’s exclusive makeup artist? Of course, you can name
your price; I won’t haggle.”
Sherry quickly realized that this was Camila’s doing. She was currently working under
Mateo, but the car exhibitions only happened a few times a year, and once they were
over, she would still be unemployed. Moreover, she had her uncle to take care of, so she
needed money.
If she went to do makeup for Christopher, she could work with Camila and earn money.
It was a win–win situation.
However…
“Lily, thank you for your kind offer, but as you know, I’m already pregnant, so it’s quite
inconvenient.”
I have taken that into consideration. Christopher has a dedicated makeup trailer, which
is a motorhome where you can also sleep. While he is performing, you can rest in the
trailer, and if you need anything, just let me know. I will ensure that you have everything
you need. I don’t really have any other options. The fans were highly impressed with
Christopher’s appearance that day, and if the next makeup doesn’t meet that standard,
they will be disappointed. If you have any other requests, please feel free to tell me. You
don’t need to worry about anything.”
To be honest, Sherry was tempted. Doing odd jobs for Mateo and having a formal and
respectable job at Morgan Entertainment were two completely different concepts.
Maverick was familiar with Mr. Sniper, and she would have a strong support system
with Camila by her side.
“Um, can you give me some time? I need to discuss it with the father of my child.”
