The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 115

"Thank you, Ye." Chris smiled. "Well, I shall entrust my marriage to you."

"No problem." Autumn smiled back.

They both had a good time with their chafing dishes. Chris had opened her heart to Autumn and shared a lot with her. Being in love with Sam was exhausting. Too tired to go on, she was on the verge of giving up.

Then Chris started drinking and got drunk. She cried and laughed. Autumn knew that she was hurting and needed an outlet to release the pain, so she didn't stop her. She knew that she would feel much better afterwards.

Chris was too drunk to walk, so Autumn had to support her by the arm. Just as they had walked out of the door, someone called Autumn. "Miss Ye, it's really you."

It was Mr. Yi, a former client. He once tried to bribe Autumn in private, hoping that she would save him some money by doing a project, but Autumn turned him down.

He had been holding a grudge against her ever since. Learning that Autumn had been fired and was having a hard time, he enjoyed gloating over her misfortune.

"Mr. Yi." Autumn was busy taking care of Chris, so she greeted him simply and intended to turn away. However, Mr. Yi wasn't going to let her pass so easily. He stood in her way and said to her with a frivolous smile, "Not so fast. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's find a place to talk."

Autumn remained silent with a frigid look on her face. Mr. Yi had a bad reputation in the business circles, so Autumn had made sure to keep their contact strictly professional. She avoided meeting him outside of work. Unexpectedly, she bumped into him here tonight.

"Mr. Yi, as you can see, my friend isn't feeling well. I have to take her home." But Mr. Yi wouldn't let her go. He sneered and said, "What's the rush? I can drive you home later."

He came closer to her and continued, "It's not every day that we come across each other like this. For old time's sake, let's grab a table some place nearby."

"Mr. Yi, I really can't. Maybe next time, " Autumn said, as she held Chris tightly.

Mr. Yi scoffed, "Are you looking down on me?"

Then he started shouting, "When you were a planner of Cloud Advertising Company, I respected you and asked you to do a project for me, but you refused. Now what? Look at you now. You ended up getting fired. You know what? I think you are nothing but a phony pretending to be pure and lofty. You are already notorious. Stop pretending!"

Autumn's face went pale. Chris raised her head and asked, "Ye, what... what is he talking about? What does he mean?"

Mr. Yi looked at them lustfully and put his hand on Autumn's shoulder. He said with a sneer, "You're so beautiful. You should make full use of your beauty. Women are supposed to rely on men. As long as you agree to be my mistress, you will never have to work again."

He paused for a moment and put forward another bait, "If you want to work again, I can help make the rumors disappear and you can work anywhere you like. Just say the word."
