Sorry Sir I Don’t Want You Back by Little Angelic Devil

Around an hour ago...

Cherise called Katherine and told her about what she had missed.

"Well, that's good news, sweetheart," Katherine replied in her usual sensual voice.

"Yes, it is." Cherise laughed. But now we need to see the collection in person. I need to check how they look in real life, check the quality of the materials, etc., and Logan and I are waiting for you to come back to the country." "Uh huh..." Katherine replied lazily.

Cherise rolled her eyes. "What do you mean by that?" This best friend of hers sometimes was very cryptic.

"I actually arrived in the city two days ago, darling."

Cherise then heard the sound of sheet rustling and Katherine groaning as if she was just waking up and stretching her body.

She sighed. She should have known her best friend was not a morning person, or she might have another 'suitor' with her in bed right now.

"Okay..." Cherise said slowly. "When will you have the time to show us the collection?"

Katherine's seductive laughter sounded from the other end of the phone. "Darling, the collection is actually already in your company."

Cherise's eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked, "And you didn't bother to tell me?!"

Katherine laughed again. "Well, it is yours, and which better place to keep it?"

Cherise thought about it and finally sighed. Katherine was right. Angelworld Jewelry was the best place to keep it. The staff was professional, and the place had tight security.

"Well, I'm going there to see it with Logan today, then," Cherise decided.

She then heard another rustling sound, this time faster, and before she could register what was happening on Katherine's end, she heard her friend's voice.

"Let me meet you there too, love," she said, and Cherise heard the sound of her shuffling around her room. "After all, they all think I'm the designer."

Cherise couldn't help but laugh. People knew Katherine as the designer for Angelworld, but a few people, like Hudson, knew Katherine had worked with 'Angel', the famous jeweler, ever since their company partnership three years ago.

Even though now the employees knew Cherise was their CEO, the staff and manager at the store didn't know it because she didn't want too many people to know about her identity yet, and having Katherine with her would be a great way to see 'True Love' without getting any suspicion.

"Alright," Cherise agreed. "See you in"

"An hour," Katherine replied before Cherise could set the time. "You know I need time to get ready, sweetheart."

Cherise's lips twitched, exasperated at her best friend, wanting to tell her that she lived in an apartment in the middle of the city within a 10-minute walk from Angelworld Jewelry's building, but she kept her mouth shut and agreed instead.

There really was no point in arguing with Katherine, especially about her so-called 'time management. She always had her own schedule.

Cherise sighed and said, "Let me tell Logan about it."

"Alright, darling," Katherine replied. "Ta ta."

Cherise chuckled and called Logan to tell him about their plan before getting ready herself.

Going downstairs, she saw her brother sitting on the couch and decided to have a little talk with him.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing the clicking sounds of heels, Julian looked up and saw his sister descending the stairs. "You look nice," he praised her.

"You always said that no matter what I wear," Cherise laughed and sat beside him on the couch.

"My sister is beautiful and has a great sense of fashion. What can I say about that?" He shrugged, but his lips curled up into an adoring smile.

Cherise looked at her brother in amusement. With a brother like him, who would need a guy in her life? He was handsome, gentle, pampering, and had a sweet mouth.

She wondered which lady could capture his heart in the future. She must be one fortunate lady landing a perfect package like her brother.

Setting the thought aside, she turned serious. "Brother, I think it would be best if I don't live here now."

Julian raised his brow in question, wondering why Cherise suddenly wanted to move out.

"I don't want people to know I'm an Alster yet," she explained. "And I don't want people to gossip about you living with some unknown lady."

Julian laughed, feeling his sister was naive. "Why do we need to care about people gossiping about me? Shouldn't we be more concerned about your reputation if we care about gossip?"

While Julian thought Cherise was naive, she also felt her brother was naive as well. She rolled her eyes and pointed out, "If people think you are living with a lady, you won't ever find a girlfriend."

"So?" Julian asked. Like other younger CEOS, he didn't think much about relationships or love at that moment. What he wanted was to make the Alster Group more well-known worldwide.

"I want a sister-in-law!" Cherise said exasperatedly. "You are already so old and have never had a girlfriend. People will think there is something wrong with you!"

"I'm old?" Julian gasped exaggeratedly. He was only 28 years old this year. How was he old?

"Yes." Cherise nodded. "You are nearly 30 years old."

"So you think 28 years old is old?" Julian asked.

"For someone who has never had a girlfriend, yes." Cherise nodded again.

"What about 70 years old, whether he is single or not?" Julian asked with a straight face, trying to set a trap for Cherise.

"That is ancient. He should be displayed in a museum," Cherise replied without thinking, and Julian laughed out loud, happy that his sister fell into his trap.

"Why are you laughing?" Cherise asked with narrowed eyes, feeling something was wrong with his brother.

Julian tried to stop laughing and replied, "It seems I'll need to prepare to donate Grandpa to the museum now."

Then it dawned on Cherise that her brother had trapped her to say those words.

"Nooooooo... Don't do that, and don't ever dare to tell Grandpa that I think he's old." Cherise started punching Julian's biceps.

Julian laughed out loud and leaned sideways, still letting his sister hit him.

"Alright, alright," he said in between laughter and finally caught his sister's wrists because honestly, with the way she had been training Taekwondo since a young age, getting hit repeatedly by her still hurt. Cherise glared at him before pouting and huffing.

"I won't tell Grandpa," Julian pinched Cherise's cheek, and before she could lecture him about it further, he deftly changed the subject. "On a more serious note. About you moving out..."

"Don't tell me you disagreed," Cherise said, still pouting.

Julian smiled as he looked at his cute sister. Twenty-one years old, and she still acted like a child, but he was more than happy to pamper her.

"I actually agree," he said, much to Cherise's surprise. She thought she needed to convince him more about it.

"As you said, people know this is the Alster residence," he said and added thoughtfully, "If those people know you are living here and started to investigate your background..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Cherise knew what was on his mind. It was about those people who kidnapped her when she was five years old.

The Alsters still didn't know if they specifically targeted Cherise or if they were child traffickers because Cherise only met that one young boy when she was kidnapped.

They had kept Cherise's identity as an Alster hidden since then, and before they knew the real reasons behind her kidnapping, it would not be wise to let her be living with Julian.

She could still be seen out and about with him, but just like Hudson, people might think they were lovers instead of siblings because they did not really look alike.

While Cherise looked like their mother, who came from Country B, with blonde hair and blue eyes, Julian looked like their father, who had dark hair. The only similar feature they shared was the color of their eyes, but it didn't make them look like siblings.

And with the way Julian treated her when they were out in public? No one would have believed they were siblings if they didn't know about Julian's sister complex.

"That's what I thought, too," Cherise told him. "But do you know anywhere I can move to? Can you help me look for a place?" She started acting like a spoiled child again.

Julian thought about it for a while and told her, "There is a new apartment not far from Angelworld's building. I heard the security is top-notch, and the price is sky-high, especially for the two penthouses. And there are not many units per floor. It is a very exclusive apartment."

Cherise always passed by the apartment building when she went to work, and she always thought it looked nice, but hearing about how it was from her brother made her want to get one of the penthouses.

"Get me one of the penthouses," she bounced excitedly in her seat.

Julian chuckled. He knew his sister always wanted the best she could get for everything, including her living quarters. The more exclusive something was, the more she wanted it.

"I'll ask Neil to get one for you." He reached out for his phone, ready to order Neil to do it, as he didn't want his sister to miss out on getting one of the penthouses.

"Thank you, Brother. You are really the best!" Cherise threw herself at him, and Julian laughed as he hugged his sister back.

"By the way, where are you going, dressing up so nice like this?" he asked, reminding Cherise that she had an appointment with Katherine and Logan.

Cherise checked her limited-edition watch and exclaimed in horror, "Oh no! I'm going to be late! I'm meeting Katherine and Logan at the Angelworld store. See you later, Brother." She kissed Julian's cheek and bolted out of the house into the car that was already waiting for her.

Julian looked at her and shook his head helplessly. How would he find a girlfriend if he had a sister who still needed his care, he thought to himself.

When Cherise arrived at the Angelworld building, she immediately saw Katherine just because of how she dressed. Even though the weather had turned colder, it still wasn't the time to wear a fur coat yet, but there stood her best friend wrapped in pure white fur. "Aren't you feeling hot in it?" Cherise asked as she approached Katherine.

"Hello, darling," Katherine greeted her, and they kissed each other's cheeks before she replied, "It's about fashion, sweetheart."

Cherise just nodded and went along with her through the security and staff, who led them to level 5.

With the temperature in the building being warmer, Katherine took off her fur coat in the elevator and it revealed the sexy dress with crisscross straps along her back.

Cherise, who should be used to Katherine's sense of fashion, still couldn't help but raise her eyebrows while Katherine just winked at her.

She should've known Katherine would not care about the weather. She would always dress sexily, and no one could stop her.

Once the elevator's door opened, Cherise said, "I still can't believe you thought of moving the collection here. It was a great move, though."

Before Katherine could reply, they heard an angry young woman shout, "You! What are you doing here?"

Both best friends looked at the source of the voice, and Cherise groaned. Of course, she had to meet the Amerys and the mistress. How unlucky...
