When going downstairs, Eve Sherman stood slightly to the side, looking at Stellan Sutton's back.
The cheers from her previous colleagues in the secretarial department still echoed in her ears.
"So handsome! That old pervert finally rolled out, I've had enough of him all this time!"
"I want to go to Hess, too! I want a leader who respects women!"
She let out a breath, shifted her focus, and met Stellan's eyes.
"You're now my assistant, representing Hess, and you only need to watch my expressions. When faced with similar situations again, don't be afraid. As your superior, I'll definitely stand by your side."
"When considering giving face, first see if the other party is worthy of it."
Hearing this, Eve Sherman felt a bit of a lump in her nose.
Women face too many troubles in the workplace.
Bias, discrimination, harassment... the list goes on.
Finding colleagues and superiors who respect you is incredibly difficult.
Thinking about all she's been through, she pressed her lips together and nodded heavily, "I understand."
Stellan Sutton saw her eyes were slightly red, blinking rapidly as if soothing her emotions, and said with a light smile, "Of course, if things can't be settled, you can complain to me."
"Thank you, President Sutton." She smiled at Stellan Sutton, quickly stepping forward to help him open the car's backseat door.
Just as Stellan Sutton got into the car, his phone rang.
Taking a glance at the caller ID, he shook his head helplessly.
"Grandpa."
Master Sutton's exasperated voice came through the phone, "You rascal, why is it always hard to reach you? Every day it's just work, work. I'm sick and you don't come back. If I were to die, I wouldn't even get to see you one last time!"
Stellan Sutton lowered his eyes with a faint smile, "I was just in a meeting. Hearing your voice so strong doesn't sound like the voice of a sick person. What's up?"
"Aren't you asking knowingly? Where's my granddaughter-in-law? You've been back for days, why haven't you brought her to see me? Hurry up and hold the wedding, bring her into the family!"
Stellan Sutton's eyes dimmed slightly.
Granddaughter-in-law...
"This is really irresponsible, getting the marriage certificate but leaving her aside. I don't even know if I'll be able to hug my great-grandchild before I pass away! I'm done talking to you, I'm angry!"
After hanging up the phone, Stellan contemplatively opened WeChat.
The reply from the other side was just four emotionless characters: Who is this?
She didn't even remember him.
Even if she didn't want to waste time and wanted a divorce, she should at least get in touch with him, right?
Whether to continue or not should be made clear, but living with another man without a word feels like being cheated on.
It puts him in a bad mood.
Holding the phone, he said in a deep voice, "Cancel the evening schedule."
Eve Sherman nodded, "Okay."
Without saying where he was going, Stellan Sutton had Lucas drop Eve Sherman off at Hess before leaving.
Before getting off work, Eve Sherman received a message from Skye Sherman, asking her to come home for dinner.
Eve has been busy these days and hasn't returned to the Sherman Family for half a month. Tonight, with Stellan Sutton not around, she could go home to eat and chat with her family.
"Dad, my studio recently got a big order, I transferred some money to you. Move Grandma Sherman to a private hospital, they'll take good care of her there, and she'll be more comfortable."
Eve Sherman said softly while massaging Grandma Sherman's legs as she lay in bed.
Skye Sherman quickly shook his head, "Brooke, I can still work, I can't keep taking your money. Besides, you're already married, it's not good to keep handing money out."
Eve Sherman waved her hand, "It's fine, my husband hasn't said anything. Besides, this is money I earned myself, I didn't take his."
"In a marriage, things should be calculated and discussed together. You're married now, no need to distinguish yours and mine. If the separation is too clear, there will always be gaps."
Eve Sherman nodded.
She hasn't even seen a shadow of him.
If she could find her husband who hasn't shown up for two years, she'd definitely discuss things with him.
"How's work recently?"
Since Eve Sherman obediently married, the Shaws continued to keep Skye Sherman as their driver, never talking about firing him again.
Eve Sherman knew they kept Skye Sherman because they wanted to hold onto her weakness.
But that's okay, once she earns enough money, she'll support the Sherman Family herself, let Skye Sherman retire at home, and be free from the pressure.
"I'm doing well, don't worry about me." Skye Sherman smilingly looked at her, "But what about you, when will you bring your son-in-law back for us to meet? You've been married for so long and we haven't seen him. Grandma Sherman brings it up often, hoping to see him before she goes..."
