Chapter 1295 Shermaine quietly went in and put the cup of tea on his desk.
Odell was captivated by the documents in his hands and did not even notice her.
Therefore , she only stayed in the office for two seconds before wisely stepping out. Cliff had told her that the man

She finally got promoted to his secretary, so now would be the best time to practice the virtue of patience.
The thought put a grin on her face as she returned to her desk outside.
Several days later, which was a Friday, Sylvia finished class at the academy shortly after noon and went home.
It had been days since she saw Odell, so she pulled her phone out and wanted to text him. Coincidentally , she
received his call.
The man’s charming voice sounded as soon as she put the phone by her ear. “Sylvia, I have to go abroad to deal

Sylvia’s bubble of excitement that arose from listening to his voice was instantly popped. “Oh, okay. I understand.”
He added in a small voice, “Tell Grandma and the kids for me. I’ll leave them in your hands.” Sylvia smiled. “Don’t
worry about them. You be careful out there. Don’t forget to get enough rest.” He chuckled. “Yeah. I got it.” Just
when Sylvia wanted to hang up, she heard a woman’s voice. “Sir, I’ve contacted the representative at Hemingway.
They will send someone to pick us up at the airport.”
Odell hummed a reply before the call ended.
Sylvia raised a brow.
Odell usually only went on a business trip abroad with Cliff and Morris, his assistant and his secretary, so why would
there be a woman’s voice?
On top of that, her voice sounded familiar.
Sylvia tried recalling where she heard the woman’s voice before but could not think of it at the moment. She was

The black MPV soon drove into the drop-off lane at
Westchester International Airport.
Shermaine went straight to the counter for the tickets and the boarding procedures while Cliff carried his briefcase
and followed Odell to the business lounge.
After settling the boarding procedures, Shermaine rejoined the two at the lounge and waited for the boarding call
together. As they boarded the plane and headed to the business class, Odell sat down in the window seat. The seat
beside him was left idle, and Shermaine’s eyes gleamed for a moment. However, she recovered her composure
and humbly took a step backward , offering the seat to Cliff.
She obediently sat down behind Odell and glued her eyes on the man’s back.
After the plane went up in the air, Shermaine took some snacks out and tapped on Cliff’s shoulder. She smiled and

Master Carter a box each.”
Cliff looked at the delicate boxes of snacks and smiled.” Oh, thank you.” He took one for himself and passed the
other one to Odell.
Shermaine even heard Odell asking Cliff what the box was.
“It’s some snacks that Shermaine prepared for us.”
“Mm-hmm. Put it there.”
Cliff helped him open the box and put it by his side.
Shermaine’s eyes never lest Odell.
The box had all kinds of snacks, like nuts, dried berries, and even handmade candies.
The sweet fragrance wasted out from the box as soon as the lid was removed, and it managed to attract Odell’s
attention.
