Chapter 1067

"Hello?"

Sherilyn barely got a word out before realizing the line was dead.

She glanced at her phone, a bit bewildered... did he just hang up without a word?

Really?

Sherilyn chuckled helplessly and instructed Naomi, "Wait here, okay? I'm going to say hi to Blake."

"Alright."

When Sherilyn explained to Blake that Gilbert was coming, he naturally didn't hold her back.

"You'd better hurry, don't keep Mr. Harrison waiting."

"Thanks, Blake."

Just as she turned to leave, her phone rang again.

Sherilyn answered quickly, "Are you here?"

"Yeah," Gilbert replied, amusement in his voice. "I'm by the west gate. Should I come in, or will you come out?" "You wait there, I'm coming out," she insisted.

No way was she letting him come into the party with all those people around. He'd be swarmed in no time.

She hung up and gathered her dress, heading out quickly towards the west gate.
