Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 638:

Sheri’s expression stiffened for a moment before she forced herself to mask her emotions. She managed a brittle laugh. “Henrik, are you turning me down so bluntly because you’re afraid of upsetting Khloe? Surely she isn’t so narrow-minded.”

Khloe’s eyebrows arched slightly. Narrow-minded? She smirked inwardly—she was petty, and she knew it.

Before Khloe could respond, Henrik stepped in smoothly. “Khloe’s far more open-minded than you think. But I’m turning you down because I simply don’t want to sit with you. I have responsibilities as someone with a fiancée, and I intend to uphold them. Besides, didn’t the person who invited you to this event arrange a seat for you?”

Sheri blinked, unsure whether Henrik was softening his stance. Just as she opened her mouth to respond, Henrik dealt the final blow. “If you don’t have a seat, feel free to stand.”

Sheri’s composure crumbled, though she clenched her teeth to keep from snapping. She bit her lower lip, her gaze meeting Henrik’s icy, warning eyes. Her smile was tight as she forced herself to answer, “Of course I have a seat.” Not waiting for another word, she straightened her back and tried to leave with what dignity she had left. “In that case, Henrik, I’ll return to my seat.” Henrik didn’t bother to acknowledge her further.

Utterly humiliated, Sheri abandoned any pretense of politeness. She didn’t even glance at Khloe as she walked away.
