“Who is it?”
“I just bumped into Mateo outside! He’s your boss! He knows my dad, and surprisingly,
my dad
he knows me too! He said you’re doing a great job at work and wants to thank
for recommending you, so he wants to treat us to a meal.”

Upon hearing this, Sherry quickly shook her head. “No way? Honestly, I’m just average in
terms of skills. It’s fine for him to have dinner with Mr. Castillo, but I don’t want to join
in.”
However, Camila insisted, “Why not go? It would be a waste if you didn’t. Besides, you’re
going to be Mateo’s sister-in-law in the future. Isn’t it a good thing to get to know your
future brother-in-law early?”
Although what she said made sense,
“Alright, stop hesitating. Don’t you want to have a good relationship with Mr. Sniper?”
Camila said. “I know you’ve been bothered by the woman he used to love. We can

indirectly ask Mateo about it! Knowing your enemy is the key to victory. Since you’ve
decided to have a good life with him in the future, you should have some
understanding, right?”
It had to be said that this reason successfully convinced Sherry.
Camila started the car and drove toward a private restaurant in the east of the city.
From a distance, they could see a bright purple convertible parked outside, attracting
the attention of passersby with its bold and flamboyant color.
Camila exclaimed, “Wow, did I get the wrong information? I thought Maverick was the
one who wasn’t straight. Is it his younger brother instead?”
Sherry didn’t understand what she meant. “What?”

Camila pouted. “It’s said that those who like this kind of purple are usually not straight.”
Sherry smiled and denied it. “Mateo shouldn’t be.”

“How do you know?”
Because he confessed to me today…

“Because he doesn’t actually like purple. He just likes being bold and different. I’ve seen
him drive cars in several colors, like bright yellow and sapphire blue. Each one is more
extravagant than the last. Compared to those, this purple is relatively low-key.”
Camila pursed her lips. “Artists are indeed different. They’re either extremely introverted
or extremely arrogant. There’s never a normal one.”
Sherry agreed deeply with this statement.
The car stopped in front of a private restaurant, and Sherry got out of the car first while
Camila went to park.
She stood in place, ready to wait for Camila to go in together.
“It’s so hard to see you in person.”
arms crossed, looking down at her from a higher position.
He smiled mischievously, and his eyes were sharp. “Sherry, do I have a contagious
disease? Or am I so ugly that I scare people away? Is it necessary to run away so fast as
soon as you see me?”
Caught off guard, Sherry felt a little embarrassed and could only force a laugh. “No, I
was in a hurry to bring food to my uncle at the hospital.”
“Have you been crying?”
Sherry was taken aback, then shook her head. “No.”
Mateo took a step forward with his long legs and walked to her side in a few steps. He
leaned down to get a closer look at her, and his voice involuntarily softened. “You said
you didn’t cry, but your eyes are red.”
Sherry lowered her head and rubbed her eyes. “Maybe it’s because the car window was
open too wide just now, and the wind blew.

“You’re lying! Just be honest with me. Is it because your uncle’s medical expenses are
not enough? If they’re not enough, tell me how much you need, and I’ll give it to you.”
This boss of hers was surely generous.
Sherry politely declined. “Thank you, Mr. Mateo; the money is enough. It’s just that
seeing my uncle suffer makes me feel bad.”
Mateo sighed, feeling a bit powerless. “I didn’t know before. I thought you were just a
country bumpkin, but later I found out that you’ve had a difficult life these years…
Alright, don’t be sad anymore. Even if I give you money, you won’t accept it. I want to
help you, but you’ve been avoiding me. I don’t know how to treat you well.”
Sherry said, “You are already a very good boss. There’s no need to do anything more.
This is already good enough for me. I’m already very lucky.”

“You’re rejecting me insincerely. When we were at the hospital, you even made up a lie
about infertility to brush me off. Now you’re distancing yourself from me. Yes, I am your
boss, but the law doesn’t say that a boss can’t pursue their own employee, right? You
can reject me, but can’t I even pursue you?”

Camila deliberately coughed loudly, interrupting their conversation.

Sherry quickly walked over and held Camila’s hand, completely distancing herself from
Mateo.
“Camila, how much longer until Mr. Castillo arrives?”
Camila shielded her behind him and looked at Mateo warily. “My dad should already be
inside. Sherry, let’s go in.”
Two girls walked ahead, while Mateo shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly behind
with his hands in his pockets.
He did not care if Camila heard his words. Besides his brother, Mateo was not afraid of
anyone, and opposing him was useless. Once Mateo had made up his mind, no one
could stop him.
Camila glanced back slightly, and Mateo still looked carefree. She furrowed her brows
and asked in a low voice, “Sherry, what’s the deal with Mateo? “Does he like his future
sister-in-law?”
Chapter 72 Misconception
Sherry also looked helpless. “I wish I knew what’s going on.”

Camila was vaguely excited: “Two brothers fighting over a woman-oh my god, this plot
is just like those cliché romance dramas. Hey, does Mateo know about you and Mr.
Sniper?”
Sherry shook her head. “Mr. Sniper has never admitted that he is Maverick. I don’t want
to expose him, so I’ve been going along with what he says, saying that I have nothing to
do with Maverick.”
“Oh, that’s great, then. It won’t be such a chaotic situation. However, once the truth is
revealed, it will undoubtedly become chaotic. It’s only a matter of time.”
Sherry was well aware of this. She had already firmly rejected him two or three times,
but Mateo did not want to give up.
“Does Mr. Sniper know about Mateo’s feelings for you?”
Sherry paused for a moment, then nodded. “He should be aware.”
Chapter Maconception
“In that case, there’s no problem. He will handle it.”
The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor. As they opened the door,
they saw Mr. Castillo already seated at the table, placing an order for dishes.
Sherry greeted Mr. Castillo respectfully.
Upon seeing her enter, Mr. Castillo smiled warmly and said, “Sherry, you’re here? Please
come in and have a seat. Mr. Mateo, please join us as well. This is my first time at this
restaurant, so I’m not familiar with their specialties. Why don’t you go ahead and order?”
Mateo took the menu and handed it to Sherry. “You can order.”
Sherry declined. “It’s also my first time here.”
“If I ask you to order, then please do so. Look at how slender you are; just order-
whatever you like; don’t worry about the price.
Mr. Castillo seemed to have noticed something, but being experienced in the business
world, he was adept at socializing. He chuckled and said, “Mr. Mateo, you’re such a
Chapter 72 Misconception
gentleman, taking such good care of your female employee’s well-being.”
