The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1107

"Don't say that, Irene. We understand that your president must be very busy. It's very nice of you to come and meet us." Sheryl would not pay attention to such things. After all, a collaboration between Cloud Advertising Company and Tarsan Corporation has already improved their status.

Truth be told, the fact that Tarsan Corporation sent the CEO's assistant to meet with them was already proof that Cloud Advertising Company was being respected and taken seriously by the former.

"Please have a seat, Ms. Xia." Irene, the assistant, smiled and gestured toward two velvet chairs. She then gracefully raised a hand to call the attention of the man standing just outside the door. "Zachary," she said with a sweet, warm voice, "kindly pour out some tea for Ms. Xia and this beautiful lady."

"Okay, Irene," said Zachary before quietly walking away.

"Irene, please take a look. This is my first draft of the plan." Sheryl went straight to the point, not a second after politely sitting down.

Irene respectfully held out her hands to receive the plan book. She studied it carefully. Sheryl, who sat across from Irene, looked intently at the assistant. She could feel her own heart beating. She needed this to work.

Moments later, Zachary came in and served the guests some tea. When he was finished, he left courteously, without a word.

It took Irene a whole hour to go through the entire draft. For Sheryl, every second in that quiet room felt like an eternity. She realized just how serious Irene was and felt reassured that Tarsan Corporation was indeed the right entity to work with.

"Well, I'm impressed," a voice finally cut through the silence. "This is a great plan." Irene's approving taps landed on the cover of the now-closed plan book.

"Really?" Isla could not help but ask.

"Of course! I think it's excellent. Ms. Xia deserves the honor of being named the best planner in Y City. Tarsan Corporation is very lucky to be collaborating with Cloud Advertising Company," Irene smiled, still full of praise.

"Irene, are there any parts that need improvement? This is just the first draft. I can..." Sheryl felt waves of happiness and excitement come over her.

"In my opinion, the plan is perfect as it is. I see nothing that needs to be modified. To tell you the truth, Ms. Xia, I am just in awe of your talent. You don't have to worry about making arrangements. I will relay the final review to our president at once. If she approves it, you can proceed with this plan on the day of the reception."

"That's great! Thank you so much, Irene." It seemed things were going smoothly at work. Sheryl beamed with joy.

"Oh, please! I should be thanking you, Ms. Xia. You have made such a wonderful plan for Tarsan Corporation. Our president will be very satisfied." Irene's polite remark played over and over in Sheryl's head.

It was noon when Sheryl and Isla left Tarsan Corporation. Before leaving, they had invited Irene to have lunch with them. She politely declined because of her busy schedule.

"It's a pity Irene couldn't come. Come on, Isla. Let's stuff ourselves with the most delicious food we can find!" Sheryl was in a really good mood. At that moment, she forgot all the troubles in her family.

"Sher, I feel bad about eating out with you today." Isla smiled as she spoke. She was in a good mood as well.

"And why do you feel bad?" Sheryl was smiling, too.

"You know, this big impressive plan was all yours! Irene admired your work so, so much. You are a great contributor to Cloud Advertising Company. Now you say you're going to pay the bill! I don't deserve this reward. I didn't even do anything. Of course, I feel bad. Hmm...I wonder what I'm going to order."

"Haha! If you really feel that way, you can pay the bill. We'll get to eat together either way." Sheryl laughed heartily.

"No, forget it. You're the boss of Cloud Advertising Company, and I know you big shots love paying for other people. I don't want to say no and take that away from you." Isla promptly took back what she said.

"Well, since I'm in a good mood today, that's fine. I'll pay the bill." Sheryl flashed Isla a toothy grin.

"Let's have Japanese food! I haven't had it in a long time." With that, a decision was made.

"Okay, you're the boss." There was a tone of adoration in Sheryl's response.

At 2 o'clock that afternoon, the presidents of Tarsan Corporation and Shining Company were scheduled to meet.
