The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1111

"I am not making fun of you. I am just telling the truth.

Come on, Sheryl. Let's get inside," said Isla.

When Sheryl and Charles walked into the hall, there were many guests, and the couple immediately became their focus. Many businessmen flocked to them and tried to butter Charles up.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, here you are."

"Mr. Lu, is this your wife? She is gorgeous."

"Mr. Lu, we had a pleasant talk last time. How about I treat you to another meal."

Flattering words flooded Charles and Sheryl. As the former was accustomed to such flattery, he easily brushed them off. He just nodded and smiled at them diplomatically.

"Charles, I need to look around. See you later," Sheryl whispered in his ear. As the person in charge of this party, she couldn't just stand there as a guest.

"Okay. If anything happens, remember to call me," Charles urged, as he gazed at her dotingly.

"I will," Sheryl nodded, pulling Isla's sleeve and walking away with her.

"Mrs. CEO, why did you avoid them? They were praising you," Isla teased cheekily, amused by the awkward look on Sheryl's face.

"You know me. I'm sick of those hypocritical people," Sheryl said with a frown.

"Me too. I really want to take photos of them to show them how ridiculous they look," Isla followed with a scornful expression. She hated all these deceitful people.

"Ms. Xia," a familiar voice resounded behind her.

When she turned around, Sheryl saw Irene. "Hello, Irene!" she greeted back.

"Hi, Ms. Xia, the party is about to start. Thank you very much for your diligent planning. Our president is quite satisfied with your work," Irene praised with a polite smile.

"I'm flattered," Sheryl returned, smiling back at her.

"Well, I must go, Ms. Xia. I am going to give a speech on the stage," Irene said before walking off.

Sheryl thought she might have had a visual illusion, but when Irene was leaving, she saw a vicious smile lingering on Irene's lips. Rubbing her eyes, Sheryl frowned.

Turning to look at Isla, she asked, "Did you see the look on Irene's face? It was kinda creepy." "No, I didn't see that,"

Isla replied. She hadn't found Irene to be suspicious.

"Never mind. I must be overthinking it," Sheryl said, shaking her head. 'How could Irene try to ruin this party? She works for Tarsan Corporation, so she must want this party to be successful, ' Sheryl brooded.

While Sheryl was trapped in her own musings, Isla spotted a familiar figure not far from them. "Look, Sher!"

she exclaimed, pointing at the person.

"What's up?" Sheryl looked to where her friend was pointing and saw her sister. "Holley Ye!" she murmured with knitted brows.

"What is she doing here? It's been a while. Did she hook up with someone?" Isla scoffed, gazing at Holley. She looked down upon Holley. As she had learnt what kind of person the woman was, Isla immediately assumed she must have seduced another guy.

"That's none of our business. Just ignore her. Focus on the party," Sheryl said. She had no intention of messing with Holley.
