The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1170

There was no reply. Holley had already slipped away quietly.

Isla was closest to the door. When Holley had knocked, she was the one who had spoken. Noticing that no one answered, Sheryl asked curiously, "What's going on?"

With a shrug, Isla replied lazily, "Never mind. Perhaps someone got lost, or it was some drunk fellow who got the wrong compartment."

"Oh, okay," Sheryl replied. Since Isla's assumption made sense, she decided to let it go.

However, out of curiosity, a girl rose from her seat and made her way to the door to check if someone was still around.

Her eyes fell on two figures in the corridor and her mouth went agape in shock. With a stunned expression, she closed the door in a hurry and sprinted back to her friend. Leaning forward, she whispered in her ear and told her what she had seen.

Thunderstruck, her friend, who was a blabbermouth, exclaimed, "What? Mr. Lu is here with Ms. Bai?"

The explosive news filled the room and everyone stared at her, widemouthed.

The girl who had seen them outside regretted it immediately. Rattled, she glared at her friend with her reproachful eyes not knowing what to say.

As silence fell, the girl who had yelled out the news realized that she had made a serious mistake. Now, everyone in the room knew that Sheryl's husband was sneaking around with Rachel.

And Sheryl had heard it clearly too. 'I've complicated things for her, ' she thought.

The staff held their breaths. They didn't dare say anything in front of their boss because they knew that Sheryl held a grudge against Rachel.

"I will go check it out myself," Sheryl said, breaking the suffocating silence. She couldn't believe what she had heard. 'I know Charles very well. He would never lie to me and sneak around with Rachel behind my back under the pretext of a business appointment.

After all, Rachel set me up and even kidnapped Clark and Shirley, ' she thought.

"Let me check, Sher," Isla proposed as she pulled Sheryl back to her seat. The girl's finding left Isla in a panic. She knew that her subordinate wouldn't lie about this.

"No. I must see for myself," Sheryl persisted, looking anxious.

"Fine, I will come with you," Isla said, knowing that her friend had made up her mind.

The two hurried to the door. When Sheryl opened it, they saw the backs of Rachel and Charles. The two were talking to each other and were laughing occasionally.

From where Sheryl and Isla stood, the two of them seemed to be flirting with each other.

The intimate scene almost took Sheryl's breath away. She hated to believe what she was seeing with her own eyes. She couldn't even muster up the courage to catch up with Charles and ask him what was going on. Isla intended to dash forward and question Charles, but Sheryl pulled her back and closed the door.

"Why did you stop me, Sher? Don't you want to figure out what is going on with them?" Isla asked Sheryl, her eyes full of fury. 'I can't watch this silently. If Charles is really cheating on Sheryl, I will not let him go easily, ' she thought angrily.

"Isla, I beg you. Let it go. I don't want to be a laughingstock in front of my employees. They are watching. I don't want to be humiliated again," Sheryl whispered in Isla's ear, giving her a tight hug.

She didn't want to make a fool out of herself in front of her employees. And more than that, she had no heart to put Charles in an awkward situation.
