The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 11

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I will supervise the plan and it will be satisfactory, " Ryan said, smiling slyly. When Charles suddenly stopped walking, Ryan behind him almost ran into him.

"Mr. … Mr. Lu, what's the matter?" Ryan didn't hear what Paula had said because he fell behind. When he saw Charles staring at Paula without winking, he was surprised.

'Hasn't he selected Autumn Ye already? Why is he interested in Paula now?

Paula is a pretty lady, but compared to the young and vigorous Ye, she was nothing. After all, Paula is much older.'

Then, Ryan beckoned Paula forward. Paula went up to him with grace and said shyly, "Mr. Lu…"

Even her voice had a captivating lure.

"Mr. Lu, this is another planner of our company. Her name is Paula, " Ryan introduced Paula smilingly as he pulled Paula towards him. Paula pretended to fall down, expecting Charles would hold her. Her wish didn't come true. Charles moved away and Paula almost tumbled forward.

"Mr. Lu…" Paula grumbled as she stared at Charles. She thought, 'He comes from a blue blooded family. Although I can't marry him, I will live a rich life if I become his mistress.'

Paula, totally different from Autumn, had been pursuing a life goal that she would get into a relationship with a rich man.

"Mr. Lu, Ye is not qualified for the plan. She made such a huge mistake. I can take over this plan if you trust me with it. I will give you a satisfactory plan, " Paula gave Charles her firm and solemn promise.

Charles glanced at Paula indifferently and jeered, "Are you qualified?"

"Mr. Lu, Paula is one of the best planners. She …" Ryan held a grudge against Autumn because she planned a conference instead of a wine party against his will. He thought, 'Charles too suspects Ye's ability now. It gives me a good chance to replace Ye with others.

Compared to Ye, Paula is way more meek and mild.

All these years Ye has made tremendous progress, which has made it difficult for me to affront her. But this event would let me cut her down to size.'

Charles interrupted Ryan before he finished, "Mr. Zhou, when did you allow any random guy in your company to make plans?"

"What… What?"

"I warn you today, Ye is to handle everything about the plan for the Shining Company. Stop bad-mouthing her. Anyone who says anything against her will have nothing but regrets, " Charles commanded as he ran his eyes over Paula who was quivering with fear.

She realized Charles was here to support Ye.

She remained calm but she could feel waves of anger surging inside her.

'Why?

Why does Ye get all the benefits in the company? Even Charles thinks highly of her.

However, what about me?'

"When the plan is finished, ask Ye to send it to my company, " Charles ended the conversation and left the Cloud Advertising Company directly. David followed him.

Autumn looked up through the window and found out that nearly everyone at office had already left. She replied, "I have something to do. I will come back a little late."

"No!" Charles wasn't going to take a "No!" from her. "You have five minutes to pack up. I'll wait for you outside the building of your company. Let's go home so that you can cook supper for me."

"Don't we have servants?" Autumn frowned, complaining. But Charles had already hung up, staring at the entrance of the Cloud Advertising Company happily.

He saw Autumn coming out in a short time.

"Let's go to the new street market first, " Autumn suggested as she got on the car and fastened her seat belt.

"Why are we going to the market?"

"Didn't you say you want me to cook you a supper? I can't cook because there are no vegetables at home." Autumn took shopping in the new street market for granted.

New street market was a place where various kinds of people gathered. With that in mind, Charles narrowed his brows hard and intended to advise shopping in a supermarket instead. But Autumn was in no mood to listen to him, "New street market is remote, but the products are cheap and fresh. It's a good choice to shop there."

"Do you go shopping there often?" Charles pretended to ask casually.

"Yes." Autumn grew up with her grandma. She used to walk thirty minutes longer to go shopping in this street market. It happened to be a very economical way to save money for them. But she soon recalled she was pretending to be the spoilt Yvonne from the affluent Gu family, so it was impossible for her to bargain her way with the market vendors there. She then immediately took back what she said, 'Well, I always hear my servants talk about this market, so I'm pretty familiar with it.'

"Is it true?" Charles asked absent-mindedly.
