The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1924

As Rex slowly climbed the stairs all by himself, Black felt a tug at his heart-string. He had thought that his father would never be old. But now, as Black watched his father staggering on his feet, the little boy in him, who was so used to bask in his father's glory, felt a bit petrified.

The very next thought he had on his mind was of Holley. At this time, Black just hoped that Holley wouldn't live up to his negative expectations again and would behave well.

Black never had a dearth of lovers. And he had never expected that he would become so crazy, to the extent of being obsessed with a woman, that he would rather sacrifice himself for her, even though she didn't love him.

In Shining Company

Leila had been in a bad mood since she came back after meeting Isla. However, Isla was just one of the reasons behind her being in a bad mood. The main reason, however, was Charles.

Of late, Charles had become more indifferent to her. To everyone's eyes, Leila accompanied Charles just like his shadow in and out of the office. However, only Leila could feel how Charles was treating her with ignorance. When they went back to the Dream Garden, Charles didn't say a word to her. Even when visiting Melissa, he seldom went along with her.

Leila knew that Charles wanted to keep a distance from her, so she couldn't even voice her complaint.

"Leila?" Wade asked. She had been standing next to Leila for a while. After she finished all her questions, Leila still didn't answer.

"What? You scared me!" Leila was shocked by Wade's unwarranted intrusion.

The shocked expression on Leila's face made Wade feel guilty, and she trembled.

"What do you mean by this interruption? You thought that you had made a fool of me, didn't you?" Evidently, Leila had not been in a good mood. Now, she got angrier because of Wade's reaction.

"Not really. I just saw you were lost in your own thoughts, so I merely reminded you." Wade stared at Leila, with her eyes wide open.

When Leila saw Wade's expression, she pointed her finger at Wade and shouted out, "What is it? Just say it!"

"This document is for Mr. Lu, but it's not possible for me to visit him. So I wanted to..." Wade stammered out of fear.

Leila knew what she meant. According to the rules of the Shining Company, all important papers that required Charles' signature needed to go through the chief secretary, who would take it to him. The other secretaries, like Wade, couldn't go to Charles directly.

"Okay, I got it. Give me the paper and leave. Don't appear in front of me again." Leila was agitated, and she asked Wade to go away.

When Leila took the document, Wade ran away at once. She was afraid of suffering Leila's wrath.

After Wade left her sight, Leila took a quick glance at the paper and headed for Charles' office.

"Knock..."

Both Charles and David were engrossed in discussing something, so when they heard the sound of knocking at the door. They lifted their heads and looked at the door.

"Come in." Charles gestured for David to let Leila in.

"Mr. Lu, please sign this document." Leila looked at Charles with a big smile. She didn't even bother to look at David as if she was looking down on him.

"Wait a moment,"

Charles said to Leila and then turned to David and said, "Do as you just said."

"Yes, Mr. Lu," David replied in a sincere tone. He bowed to Charles and he left.

After David left, Leila could not take her eyes off from Charles. Then she started to walk closer to him.

"Leila, please behave yourself." Charles saw Leila getting closer to him. He was annoyed by her behavior and gestured for her to keep a respectable distance.

As the two names, Leila and Charles reached Ferry's ears, a hint of a smile played on his lips. He hadn't expected a call from Leila in the first place. Leila stopped calling him ever since Sheryl had left. He had thought that Leila wouldn't call him anymore.

"You play cards here," Ferry said to his subordinate, and he took the phone from his hands.

After a moment of silence, Leila heard Ferry's voice.

"Mr. Fang, do you want to cooperate again. I have some large projects this time."

"What made you think of me at this time?" Ferry sneered at Leila.

Leila didn't like Ferry's words, but he was the only one that she could ask for help.

"Don't go around mincing words, Mr. Fang. Do you want to cooperate with me? I can give you some secret files from the Shining Company. Then you can get some more projects. What do you say?" Leila said in a confident tone. That was the only way she knew of to convince Ferry to support her.

"Deal! But what do you want?" Ferry knew that Leila wouldn't provide all this to him freely. She must need his help with something.

"Of course! Every time you are successful in making a deal, you would pay me a fee."

"Okay, no problem."

Leila had made up her mind to destroy the Shining Company. And if so, even if she didn't stay with Charles, she would get a large sum of money from Ferry. Anyway, she wouldn't lose everything in the end.

As the old saying went, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

After she put down her phone, Leila knew what she should do now. Every day, she wanted to get the secret files, but she always failed to do it. She felt it was wired.
