I am a Second Female Lead

Sheri picked the bag of the old lady and walked elegantly in her direction. Her assistant was soothing the elderly woman while she was inside her car hyperventilating. When her assistant saw Sheri with the

purse of the elderly, she was ecstatic. She went out and greet Sheri.

"Thank you miss." said the assistant of the elderly woman. Sheri hand over the elders clutch bag to her assistant but the assistant hand it immediately toward the elderly.

The elder woman looked at Sheri nearly burst into tears.

"You're welcome maám, are you ok?" Sheri looked at the older woman with concern.

"I'm all right, I was merely shaken."The elderly lady looked inside her bag and speedily brings out an old Rolex watch. She eagerly grasps and holds it closed to her heart and burst into tears.

Sheri stares at the old's ladies action thinking "Perhaps that watch has a big sentimental value with her." Sheri thought.

"I'm sorry, this is the only piece of my dear husband that gently reminds me of him. I always carry it with me wherever I go, so I was a little bit shocked when that thief got my clutch bag." stuttered the elder lady Sheri smiled at her. "Then it's my pleasure maám to help you."

The old lady felt warm looking at the gaze of the young lady in front of her. She inspects if she's ok and saw her skirt ripped in half. She worriedly asked.

"Let me buy you a new skirt. It's all my fault you rip your skirt." offers the old woman

Sheri carefully shakes her head and said.

"This is my old skirt anyway, so it's fine and I'm a little bit of rush so I sincerely hope you don't mind I have to decline," Sheri respectfully said.

The elderly woman naturally wants to persuade her, but Sheri is hurrying so she gently turned down her proposal. Since the old lady can't persuade her, she gave her, her business card. Sheri accepted it and put it directly inside her pocket and made an excuse and rushed toward the restaurant. Because of her heroism, the gourmet restaurant gave her order free of charge and a VIP card in which it gives her access to freely eat there.

When she received the food and the card, she insists on paying but the manager stubbornly didn't let her. On the other hand, she was so thrilled because that restaurant is one of the best in the town. Unknowingly toward her, the owner of that restaurant was the elder lady.

Sheri didn't see the stares of the people who didn't see the fight when she walked in and out of the restaurant. It's a high-end restaurant so walking with a ripped skirt made everyone notice her.

On the other side of the road, a man witness everything that has happened.

"Investigate who is that lady." he coldly commanded.

Even the secretary was amazed at how a woman can knock a bulky man. The secretary takes note of her plate number and begins to investigate.

After a few minutes, He conveyed the information to his boss. Her profile is well written in details and even her history and her family background was included.

He reads and puts his finger on his chin thinking deep.

"Sheri Hoal, interesting", he closes his eye and recollects what he saw. He is a man from the military and has a lot of dealings of the underworld. He knows her during their university days but only in name. He never thought he would see her in action. Her beautiful legs were embedded in his mind. And the way she gracefully walked with her skirt that was ripped. Cause a ripple in his cold-blooded heart. He desires her. The sole problem she's not someone. She is a Hoal.

Sheri went to her father's company and walked towards his office. She peeked first before she comes in. When she saw no one is there, she was relieved and looked for something to cover her ripped skirt. In the coat rack, she saw her mother's shawl hanging. She skillfully wrapped the shawl in her waist designed it like it's part of her skirt. While fixing her attire her father and brother came in. "What happened?" her father asked.

"Nothing dad, I scarcely accidentally tore my skirt, it's so embarrassing" smiled Sheri

Sven observed her. He can see her hand were bruised and her feet were a little bit swollen. He frowns while gazing at her.

Sheri saw the suspicious face of his brother, but she signals him to be quiet. Her brother saw her signal and pretended nothing happened.

He went and picked up the food that she got and assembles them on the small table. He was surprised to see it come from the most expensive restaurant in the town who doesn't do take outs. Sheri led her dad to his seat, and they had a warm lunch together when she and her brother were alone he questions what happened.

"Just a thief was on my way, and he bumped me and I fall down" Sheri lied.

"But how come your hand is bruised and your feet?" Asked Sven again

"The moment I fall down, I hit something, anyway thank God I'm ok" Sheri change the subject immediately.

Sven didn't ask anymore. He knows if she doesn't want to say it she will not say it. He instead helped Sheri put a block of ice on her hand. After a while, they talk about a business she has a lot of ideas, that shocked Sven and her dad.

When the three of them are alone in her father's office Sheri, spoke.

"Dad I have a request I want to establish my own company, but I want it to be discredited and not be connected with our company. I want that the CEO will be a dummy and the owner of the company will not be known. Also, I want that the company will be based abroad. I hope you will support me and lend me some millions. I will make sure to reimburse it back."

Her father and brother stare at each other.

"Why would you not want to incorporate with our company it will benefit you greatly? Inquired the father of Sheri.

Sheri thoroughly shook her head.

"I want to make sure that if ever that one day our company will be bankrupt, we still have the other. It's like protection for us and also our siblings. We don't know what will happen in the future. It's best to have a different company discreetly." Sheri firmly said.

Sheri's only thought at that moment is how to secure her family financially.

Her brother observed Sheri pondering. Since this morning, she has made a huge has changed. Is it because of that dream his parents mention? What did she dream that causes this change? He will wait and see. She is still her little sister, so Sven decided to support her sister.

"I agree with Sheri Father, I think it's a clever strategy," said Sven.

Her father looked at her two oldest children. "ok so be it"

A couple of months passed by Sheri didn't stop working. With her knowledge in her old life, she remembers which company booms and not. It seems she's cheating fate. She invested in the right business and after half a year. Sheri generated more revenue than their own company. Her father and brother were amazed, but her mom was concern about how Sheri worked. She wakes up early and comes back home to sleep late at night. Good thing her mom ensure she eats.

Unknowingly to Sheri, the business world was in chaotic because of the rapid rise of a foreign company.☐☐☐☐☐☐
