The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1829

Nick had called Cassie because he had wanted to show her evidence that would help clear his name. But unfortunately, Cassie wasn't even willing to entertain a conversation with him.

Before long, Isla arrived at Nick's workplace. She didn't want to go upstairs, so she texted Nick and asked him to meet her at the reception.

"Isla, why don't we go to a coffee shop nearby?"

Nick was in low spirits, which annoyed Isla as soon as she saw him.

"Okay, get in the car. I'm driving!" Isla had no intention of letting Nick drive, especially not in the state he was in. If he got in an accident while driving, it would only add to their problems.

Neither of them uttered a single word the whole way. Fortunately, the dreadful silence didn't last long as the coffee shop wasn't too far away.

When they finally found a table to sit at because Isla couldn't stand Nick's depressive mood anymore. She slammed her fist at the table and yelled at him, "What's wrong with you? Are you giving up on Cassie already?"

"Of course not! I will never stop loving her. I know that none of this is supposed to be easy. Anyway, I have found the evidence I needed. That woman framed me on purpose. Trust me when I say this—nothing happened between us. But Cassie won't even listen to me. I don't know what else I can do." Nick looked at Isla helplessly, like a man drained of all hope.

Isla nodded her head as if to say that she understood what he was going through. "I'll talk to Cassie."

"Really?" Nick's eyes widened, and the look of joy on his face was clear as day. Now that Isla was going to help him, he couldn't stop himself from smiling.

"Yes, really! I can't stand to see you like this for another second. As a matter of fact, how could anyone?"

Isla rolled her eyes at Nick and took out her cellphone to call Cassie.

Poor Cassie wasn't feeling great herself either. It was not that she didn't trust Nick, but the man was like a magnet that attracted trouble wherever he went. If he didn't have anything to do with it, then how did the woman get the chance to frame him? No wonder she was so mad at him.

Cassie's cell phone rang again, and she nervously peeked at the screen to see who it was. Isla's name was the last name she expected to see, so she answered it quickly.

"Isla?" Cassie had already guessed why Isla called her, so she greeted her casually and then fell silent because she really didn't know what else to say.

"Cassie, I just wanted to ask you one question. Do you still have feelings for Nick?" Isla was always an impetuous person, who didn't like to beat around the bush, so she directly asked Cassie what she wanted to know.

After a long while, Cassie's silence urged Isla to continue, saying, "Nick isn't here. Just tell me the truth. You can talk to me."

"Isla, to tell you the truth, it's not that I don't trust Nick. I just think he isn't capable of handling his relationship with other women like an adult..." Isla was actually surprised that Cassie bared her soul to her so easily.

She glanced at Nick to see what he was doing, but when she saw that he was lost in his own little world, she got angry at him again.

"Well, if that's how you feel, then I am happy for you. Don't worry. I will keep an eye on Nick. Keep up with the silent treatment, and he deserves it!" When Isla realized that Cassie's anger wasn't unreasonable or unfair at all, she switched sides in an instant.

Nick was so anxious that he could barely keep himself seated any longer.

"Alright! Thanks, Isla. I'm glad I got to talk to you about this." Cassie felt a lot better after expressing her feelings to Isla.

"I'm just happy that you are okay. And cheer up, everything's going to be okay," said Isla. She felt relieved to know that Cassie was doing fine.

After Isla put the phone down, she slumped back in her chair lazily and took a sip from her cup of coffee.

Nick saw Isla's reaction and thought there was something wrong. He put on a cloudy face and stared at her nervously.

When Isla realized it was her cell phone that was ringing, she took it out of her bag to see who it was. Without saying anything, Isla sat there, staring at her phone.

"Phoebe, aren't you supposed to be watching Sheryl at this time? Why are you calling me?" The unhappy expression on Isla's face was obvious.

Phoebe, however, was so worried that she didn't care about anything else. "Ms. Zhao, I have some bad news. Ms. Xia seems to be in trouble."

"What? What's wrong with Sher?" Isla's eyes widened with concern. She stood up at once and waited for Phoebe's explanation.

"Please, come back as soon as you can!"

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Isla hung up the phone in a rush.

"Isla, what's the matter with Sher?" Nick had heard Isla's words and was also curious as to what had happened.

"I don't know. I'm going back to Cloud Advertising Company to see what's going on." Isla was in too much of a rush to explain everything to Nick. She was too anxious and worried about Sheryl to sit around and waste time.

"Are you coming with me?" Isla asked Nick because she wasn't sure if he was free or not.

"Let's go! Of course I am coming with you!"

After settling the bill, Nick walked out of the coffee shop first because he didn't want Isla to drive. He was afraid that she was too distracted to drive.

After about an hour, Isla and Nick arrived at Cloud Advertising Company.
