The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 116

"Charles, I am a grown woman. Do you think it's appropriate for you to barge into my room without knocking?" Chris protested.

"So you know you're a grown up now, huh?" Charles scolded, expressionless, "Why didn't you just grow up and stop being so stupid last night?"

"You..." Chris frowned as she got exasperated at his accusation. She asked in resignation, "So you are here to blame me for last night?"

Charles didn't answer, but asked, "What did you do with my wife last night?"

"We just ate hotpot and did nothing else." Chris pondered hard for a long time, but failed to remember what had happened last night. She asked in confusion, "Charles, why are you asking me this?"

"She's been in a bad mood. I wanted to figure out if you had bullied her." Before he could finish, Chris jumped off the bed and shouted angrily, "Charles, you are getting way out of line! How could you think that I bullied her?"

"Well, you better not." Charles continued, expressionless, "It's time to go to work. You won't... go to work like this, will you?"

"I..." Chris lowered her head and looked at herself. Autumn had helped her change her clothes, but her body still smelled of wine. On second thought, she wasn't in the mood to see Sam yet. She sighed and said, "I'll be staying at home today."

After hearing that, Charles turned around and was about to leave. But Chris stopped him as she saw her swollen leg. "Charles, wait."

"Anything else?" Charles turned and asked.

"After we left the hotpot restaurant yesterday, we ran into a fat man. He pushed me down to the ground, and that's how I sprained my ankle." It vexed Chris to think of the fat man. She added, "The man also teased Yvonne. He said that she had a bad reputation in their industry. Charles, may be that is why she is not happy."

"Got it." Charles answered with a frown and left Chris's room.

When Charles arrived at the company, Leila came to him and greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Lu."

"Good morning." Charles greeted coldly with a frown as Leila had a gust of strong perfume. He went into his office and sat down. Leila also came in.

"Mr. Lu, here is a document that needs your signature." Charles was pleased with Leila as she was good at serving as his secretary.

He took over the document and asked naturally, "Do I have any appointments for this evening? If yes, please cancel it."

"I'm afraid I can't." Leila answered with a frown, "Mr. Lu, you are having dinner with one of our suppliers this evening to talk about lowering the costs. The supplier will be going abroad tomorrow. If we miss this chance, we would have to wait for another month to rearrange a meeting. So..."

"Then tomorrow. Whatever plans I have tomorrow, just cancel it." Charles demanded coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Lu." Leila smiled and wrote it down on her notebook. She continued, "Mr. Lu, do you want Linda or me to accompany you there this evening?"
