Chapter 1200 The maids stood in a single line with Emerence talking sternly in the front
It seemed serious, so Sherry stayed outside and listened.
Basically, the meeting was about the event that would be held the next day in the Stocktons‘ banquet hall.
Madam Stockton was starting a charity organization, and many guests were invited to discuss their agenda. It was
considered a social event for their guests to mingle.
The maids in line were the ones responsible for working at the event tomorrow.
Emerence went through the details with them again and again, emphasizing many things on the agenda, and even
requested them to memorize all the guests‘ names. All the names she read out were strangers to Sherry except for
one: Mason Brown.
The meeting lasted for half an hour.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore dispersing the maids, Emerence gave one last piece of reminder, “Be prepared. Madam Stockton regards
the event highly. No one is allowed to make any
mistakes.”
“We understand, Aunt Emerence,” the maid answered en masse before they scattered to their quarters.
Emerence turned around and saw Sherry by the door. Her already stern look got even colder. “Sherry, why are you
back at this hour?”
“John is not coming back, so I figured I‘d return.”
Annoyed, Emerence snapped, “How would you know Master John is not coming back? Who told you that?”
Sherry said, “Queenie called John, and he said he‘s not coming back tonight.”
Silenced by Sherry‘s explanation , Emerence glared at her and walked away.
Sherry pocketed her hands and walked into the quarters.
Sherry woke up on time the next morning. She dressed up neatly and went to the canteen for breakfast. She then
wandered to John‘s place.
John did not come home last night, so when she entered the living hall, she saw Shannon having breakfast alone.
Shannon had a bitter expression on her face, seeming to be sulking because John had not come home.
It was natural for her to feel bitter because John had not come home or stayed for the night for the past two weeks.
She had to go to bed alone every night, and no married woman could be happy about that.
Sherry was baffled how John was able to keep himself this busy, but it was none of her concern. She walked out and
discarded the problem behind her head. Since John was not around, she planned to walk around to kill time.
“Sherry , stop! I have something to talk to you about!” Shannon suddenly called and stopped her.
Sherry turned around. “What is it?”
Shannon looked at her coldly. “There‘s an event happening in the front courtyard. Many influential figures will be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcoming, and some of them might recognize you. If you don‘t want people to know that you are serving as a maid
here, you better stay here in the afternoon and not go out.”
“Oh. I got it.”
Shannon continued eating her breakfast and Sherry left.
Shortly after that, Shannon slammed the plates and cutleries on the floor.
Startled, Celine immediately asked, “Madam, what‘s wrong?”
Shannon clenched her fists tightly in silence.
Celine nervously said, “Madam, I believe Master John is too busy with his work. I heard he was barely around the
house even before the wedding. I‘m sure he‘s not staying outside on purpose.”
Shannon‘s expression remained frosty.
It had almost been two months since the wedding. The first month he had gone out for a business trip, and the
following month, he did not even spend a single night at home.
