The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 2057 Naturally

At that time, Charles' phone rang. He didn't want to answer the phone at first. However, his phone kept

ringing. Upon checking to see who was calling, he frowned. It was Vicky. He only grew angrier. He then

turned off his phone.

After a few minutes, David knocked on his door.

"What's the matter?" Charles looked at David impatiently.

David looked at Charles, embarrassed. Hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mr. Lu, Vicky just called me.

She says if you don't answer your phone, she's coming here."

"Why didn't you come up with an excuse to stop her?" Charles stared at him.

David could tell that Charles was mad. He felt like he was trapped in a cold cage as sweat started to

form all over his body.

However, he knew he still had to respond. "Well, Mr. Lu, only you can stop her..."

"That makes sense,"

Charles interrupted David, sounding impatient. He then turned his phone on, and as soon as his phone

lit up, Vicky was already calling him.

"Charles, are you busy? I'm so bored today. Can I come to the company to meet you?"

"No, you can't."

Charles was very cold to Vicky, while Vicky sounded sweet. He didn't care for her at all.

"Charles, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" Vicky acted as if she didn't know that

Charles didn't particularly like her. She patiently waited for Charles to respond.

"I'm fine, but I'm busy with work. Don't come here," Charles said in a firm tone. He tried to take control

of his temper. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vicky decided to let him go. She knew that even if she went, Charles wouldn't meet her anyway, and

she didn't want to anger Charles further.

"All right. I'll wait for you here in the villa. Will you come here after work then?"

Charles couldn't help but be disappointed at the tone of her voice. He frowned.

"Vicky, I'm very busy today. I can't see you today. If you don't like that then just leave." Charles couldn't

stand her anymore. He was already quite upset about the whole Damian thing, so he definitely wasn't

in the mood to deal with her anymore.

"Charles, please don't get mad. I don't want to bother you. I'll just wait for you." Vicky knew that Charles

was already angry, so she hung up the call.

In the villa, Vicky stared at her phone, thinking about Charles. She couldn't understand why Charles

was being so cold to her. She hadn't done anything that would make him angry, so she was quite

confused.

"Vicky, it's time for dinner." Stella noticed that Vicky was lost in her thoughts, so she walked towards her

to tell her that dinner was ready.

Stella's words brought Vicky back. She looked at Stella with an unpleasant expression and frowned.

"Okay."

During dinner, Vicky was picky about the food that Stella had prepared and promptly scolded Stella

mostly because she was in a bad mood.

Stella knew that Vicky was just doing this on purpose, so she didn't say anything.

Vicky was in such a bad mood that she didn't even eat much. Even when she went upstairs after

dinner, she was still in a terrible mood.

In the Shining Company

David was quite nervous since Charles hung up the phone. Charles hadn't been smiling and would

reprimand anyone who came into his office.

"David, what's wrong with Mr. Lu?" the people from the finance department asked David as soon as

they left Charles' office.

Just as David was about to explain, Charles suddenly came out. David kept his mouth shut while the

rest of the employees all scurried away.

"Please go to the Cloud Advertising Company."

"Have you decided to tell Ms. Xia the truth?" David widened his eyes and looked at Charles

expectantly.

Charles didn't say anything. He just glared at David and walked towards the elevator.

David didn't press further when Charles didn't respond to him. He quickly caught up with Charles.

When they reached the parking lot, they headed to the car right away.

Soon, they arrived at the Cloud Advertising Company. Charles didn't get out of the car. David figured

Charles was probably just here to look at Sheryl.

David thought to himself, 'Charles, you're already here. Why don't you just go upstairs and talk to

Sheryl? That way, you can easily explain yourself, and the issue will be resolved!'

David couldn't understand Charles. He always advised Charles to just be honest with Sheryl and tell

her the truth, but Charles never listened to him.

About half an hour later, David saw Damian again. He was worried that Charles would get mad, so he

turned to look at Charles.

David immediately noticed that Charles looked like he wanted to punch Damian in the face.

Damian was holding a bouquet of roses. Every day, he would come here and wait for Sheryl. It was as

if they were at the beginning stages of dating.

After a while, Sheryl came downstairs. She beamed as she accepted the roses from Damian.

Charles looked upset upon seeing this. He then asked David to start the car and drive off.

What Charles didn't know was that Sheryl didn't really want to accept the roses.

"Sheryl, I've been here in China for a month. If you don't accept this, I'm going to be very sad." Sheryl

then had no choice but to accept.

Sheryl smiled helplessly as she accepted the roses. She said rather bashfully, "Congratulations! Maybe

I should buy you flowers too to celebrate with you."

"You already accepted the roses, which is the best gift I could ask for." Damian grinned at Sheryl.

Sheryl felt a little embarrassed, so she averted her gaze.

"I...

I'm so sorry, I..."

"Mr. Li, are you going to have dinner with Sher? Do you mind if I come along?" All of a sudden, Isla

appeared and broke the uncomfortable silence.

Damian was planning on inviting Sheryl to dinner, but he knew she was going to refuse. However,

thanks to Isla, Sheryl wouldn't be able to decline the invitation anymore.
