Sherilyn turned her head in confusion, catching Callie’s gaze full of mirth.
Despite her smile, the hostility wasn’t any less than when she was facing Caroline.
Sherilyn was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Callie lifted her chin, nodding towards the door. “Your boyfriend just walked in, and he didn’t even spare you a glance. Hilarious, isn’t it?” She couldn’t help but laugh, eyeing Sherilyn with a sense of superiority.
“When I left Sunhaven, I thought Gilbert was completely hung up on Caroline! And to hear he got himself a girlfriend after I went abroad… and it’s you? Wow!” Callie’s tone was dripping with scorn.
“Pretty, sure, but pity, you still lost to Caroline! Gilbert doesn’t really care about you!”
Sherilyn processed her words.
It sounded like Gilbert’s old acquaintance, someone he knew from childhood.
But she didn’t have any memory of her; probably, Callie had gone abroad before Sherilyn was adopted by the Johnson family.
“Sherilyn!” Callie flashed a seductive smile. “Since Gilbert isn’t serious about you, I won’t hold back!”
With that, she flipped her hair and left.
Sherilyn couldn’t help but chuckle. So, Callie had a crush on Mr. Gilbert. The man sure had quite the love life.
Exiting the gym, Gilbert glanced at Caroline. “Besides your face, where else did you get hurt? Can you walk on your own?” “Hmph.”
Caroline scoffed, pushing him away.
“Do you really care where I’m hurt?”
“Caroline…” Gilbert frowned, hesitating before finally saying, “I’ll call my brother to pick you up.” “No need!”
Caroline snapped, grabbing his arm. “What’s he going to do? He doesn’t care about me either!”
“Caroline,” Gilbert said with a sigh, “don’t say that. He’s only trying to look out for you.” “Ha, ha, ha…”
Caroline laughed bitterly, tears mixing with her laughter.
“Looking out for me, sure! He lied to me, but what about you, Gilbert? Have you forgotten? Once upon a time you and I were both scraping by, the lowest of the low!”
With that, she turned away.
“Don’t follow me! I don’t need your fake concern!”
“Caroline!”
Gilbert felt helpless, at a loss for what to do.
“Mr. Gilbert…”
The assistant, unsure of whose orders to follow, timidly asked, “What should I do?”
“Follow her.”
Gilbert instructed with a frown. “I’ll
call Mr. Francis myself. Just keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn’t do anything reckless.”

“Understood, Mr. Gilbert.”
Gilbert picked up his phone and called Francis.
“Francis, it’s me… Yes, okay.”
After hanging up, Gilbert let out a sigh of relief. Then, a thought struck him… Sherilyn!
He hurried back to the gym, but it was empty except for a janitor cleaning the floor.
Seeing someone enter, the janitor shouted, “Don’t come in here! I’m mopping!” Gilbert frowned, turned around, and immediately called Sherilyn.

“Hello?”
But Sherilyn picked up.
“Sherilyn!” Gilbert exclaimed, relieved. “Where are you?”
“In the locker room.”
“I’m coming to you!”
Sherilyn held her phone, puzzled. He didn’t leave with Caroline?
With a slight smile, she locked her locker and left the changing room.
