76.Chapter 76
Teresa came back after eight o’clock in the evening and, with great interest, asked Sherry if she was dating, as her face was full of youthful charm.
Sherry blushed. “No, no, I just added him on WhatsApp.”
“Oh, who is it? Where did you meet a guy right under my nose?” Teresa probed.
“It’s Mike…” Sherry paused and didn’t continue, leaving Teresa puzzled.
Teresa wondered, ‘Who is it? Michael?”
Sherry shook her head, her face still rosy. “It’s nothing. Teresa, I’m really grateful to your for giving me a new job and a place to stay. I’m thankful to Mike also.”
If it hadn’t been for Michael, she wouldn’t have met Christian. In short, Teresa and her son were truly her lucky stars!
Sherry quietly vowed to continue being good to Teresa and Michael and to strive to become a better and more excellent version of herself.
Teresa chuckled, noticing Sherry was acting a bit strange today.
Because Sherry promised Michael not to tell Teresa about him going to Horizonlead Group, she quickly changed the topic and talked about work with Teresa.
The founding of Teresa’s new company marked a fresh start for her. Truman also congratulated her on the achievement.
Teresa had promised to treat Truman to dinner, and now she did. Truman brought her violets, and Teresa thanked him for it.
“Weren’t you leaving Nareigh? Changed your mind?” Truman asked.
“Yeah,” Teresa replied. She wasn’t planning on leaving for now,
Truman’s eyes flickered. “What about Mike? Aren’t you worried his dad might see him?” he asked.
Teresa reassured, “I’ll keep Mike safe.”
Seeing Teresa’s determination, Truman didn’t say anything more.
The two left the restaurant together when a voice called, “Teresa!” A Maserati pulled up, and the window rolled down, revealing Benny.
Benny glanced at Truman and gave him a once–over before the latter decided to leave.
Teresa got into Benny’s car and saw a snowboard in the backseat. “I’ve been snowboarding,” Benny explained.
This reminded Teresa of what Michael had said before, and she couldn’t help but laugh at the memory.

“Why are you laughing?” Benny chuckled along with her. “Can’t I go skiing?”
“It’s nothing,” she said, pulling herself together.
Benny clicked his tongue. “Was that your new lover? I have to say, he’s not as good- looking as me and not as handsome as Jonathan!”
He added, “That guy seems a bit fake too. I wonder if he really likes you, but I know Jonathan has genuine feelings for you. Remember your dad’s company transfer agreement? Jonathan got me to help with that.”
Teresa sighed. “You really have a lot to say! When did I ever say he’s my new lover? You’re always making things up. What do you want me to say?”
Teresa needed to prepare for her company’s opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. So, she invited Benny to participate. He said, “I’ll pass on this one. You should invite Jonathan instead.”
