Chapter 1360 After her meek voice subsided, the man‘s cold voice erupted. “Take your hands off me!”
The coldest tone with the harshest words from his lips shocked Shermaine, but she tightened her hug. A perfect
man like him must want to protect his family and be a responsible father, hence he asked her to take her hands off
him.
She added, “Master Carter, I don‘t want to ruin your family. I am not asking for a title. I just want to share your
burden. Let me be by your side.”
The parking lot fell into dead silence all of a sudden.
Then, a powerful hand pulled both her hands off him and pushed her away.
Shermaine was caught off guard by the sudden shove. She staggered a few steps backward before she lost her
balance and fell to the ground with a thud. The light shed its brilliance on her pale white face. She widened her eyes

“Master Carter...”
Odell turned around with the coldest stare.
Shermaine‘s heart skipped a beat under his glare. The words she prepared to say were all stuck in her throat.
Odell glared at her with the sharpest gaze. Several seconds of silence later, he asked, “So, you like me?”
Shermaine did not expect the question from him given how grim his expression was.
Her face regained the blush as she looked at him with her big eyes. She meekly said, “No woman would dislike a
perfect man like you. I know you‘re married, but I can‘t control myself. I don‘t want to ruin your family. I just want to
stay by your side and share your burden. Even if I don‘t get a title for the rest of my life, I‘m fine with it.”
Her eyes teared up as her expression screamed of infatuation. She believed no man could resist her soft and
understanding gaze, especially a man who was in an argument with his stupid wife.
A moment later, the grim expression on the man‘s face reverted back to his usual cold look. Although
expressionless, he looked much better compared to when he pushed her away.
Then, he said, “Stay away from me, and don‘t even let me see you again.”
Shermaine‘s heart sank and her face turned as pale as a sheet.
Odell got into the car and quickly left the parking lot.
Shermaine clenched her fists in disbelief and anger.
He left just like that! Did he not have any feelings for her?
No. It should not be. She had hugged him, and given his ruthless attitude, if he really disliked her, he would have
fired her on the spot instead of telling her to stay away from him. This must be his first time getting into an affair
with another woman, and it must be difficult for him to accept her in a hurry.
The thought calmed her down. She regained her composure and got to her feet as she watched the MPV drive

In the end, the grudge on her face was replaced by determined ambition. She liked him, and she swore she would
make him feel the same!
The black MPV drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic on the road. The man sat alone in the rear
seat, staring into the void blankly with a sulky face. The driver carefully steered the car so as not to disturb the
man.
In the passenger seat, Cliff glanced into the rearview mirror to check on the man‘s expression. Deep down, he was
shaken. Even now, he could not believe what he had just seen back in the parking lot.
He and the driver had been waiting for their boss in the car after the meeting ended.
Shermaine had arrived two minutes later than them. She did not notice Cliff in the car and was touching up her
makeup using her little cosmetics purse.
Just when Cliff wanted to roll the window down, he saw her working on her makeup and intentionally pulling her
bangs forward. He felt something was off, so he stayed quiet and simply watched from inside the car.
To his surprise, he witnessed something that shocked him.
