The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1180

Sheryl laughed heartily. She had been so depressed lately and had been feeling that there was so much burden placed on her. She never thought that she would be able to laugh genuinely at a time like this. However, she did, and it was all because of Isla.

"What are you laughing about?" Isla pouted. She looked at Sheryl, pretending to be angry, but she was glad to hear the sound of her laughter.

"Nothing. You are right, we should get to work," Sheryl said, shaking her head with a smile.

"Yes, we should. Let's set aside all this nonsense. Oh, Sheryl! I just remembered, we had a new client who wanted us to plan an opening ceremony. What happened to him? He never came back and he hasn't contacted us either," Isla said.

She quickly shifted her focus to work.

The topic was changed so swiftly that Sheryl couldn't catch up with her at first. She thought for a moment and then answered, "Are you talking about that new company? The company is still in its beginning phase. I suppose that's why they have not come back to us yet."

The new client that Isla was talking about was a young entrepreneur. He had started a company with some of his friends. And he had wanted to draw some public attention by letting Cloud Advertising Company plan an opening ceremony of the company.

But the opening ceremony had been postponed several times.

If Isla had not mentioned them, Sheryl would have completely forgotten about them.

"Yes, I remember. It was some new venture established by a few newly-graduated college students. They wanted to establish a technological company or something like that," Isla recalled.

"Yes, they called it Lansh Technology. But those people are definitely acting strange. Although they had arranged an opening ceremony and set the date, they have postponed the it again and again. They might be in some sort of trouble," said Sheryl.

"That makes sense. I will check with them and find out if they still want us to plan the ceremony or not," Isla responded, nodding her head decisively. She put the issue onto her memo.

"All right. You deal with Lansh Technology and I will deal with the other clients who are almost up for payment," Sheryl said, looking at her list of clients.

"Okay, let's get started. And I will stop talking about the other things, because I know that you won't listen anyway," Isla said as she shrugged her shoulders. She gave Sheryl a wide smile and left her office.

Sheryl knew what Isla was implying, but she did not deny it because she knew that whatever Isla said, she said it for her good. She never doubted it. She knew that Isla did everything for her sake, no matter what she said.

Sheryl shook her head, trying to clear all the annoying thoughts out of her head. She calmed herself down by taking a deep breath, hoping that it would help her focus on her work. After she slowly breathed out, she continued to focus on her work.

At that moment, her phone rang. Sheryl saw the caller ID, and it was Rachel calling.

She had earlier saved this number in her phone as 'the president of Tarsan Company' when Tarsan Corporation was doing business with Cloud Advertising Company.

She had put in a lot of effort trying to get a hold of this number.

"What do you want?" Sheryl asked, annoyed. She tried to keep calm, hoping to cover her anxiety.

She was aware that Rachel was calling to provoke her. 'It's laughable. I've seen everything and I already know what has happened between them. But I'm still hiding from the reality, trying to deny it by ignoring the truth, ' Sheryl laughed at herself.

'I thought if I denied the truth, it would just disappear. I was so naive. I understand now. What has happened will never change even if I choose to ignore it.'

Her thoughts had come true. Although she tried to ignore it, reality came back to hit her like a brick in the face!

"Sheryl, we've known each other for a long time now. We are old friends, aren't we? You don't have to keep this distance from me. I just want to talk to my good friend. Do you have time for a meal or a coffee?" asked Rachel. She felt so satisfied to hear Sheryl's angry voice.

"No, I don't have any time to waste on you," Sheryl refused firmly. 'I don't want to see her. What on earth is there for us to talk about?!' "Rachel, I don't care what you are up to, but remember that your arrogance will be your downfall," Sheryl warned.

This was her response to Rachel for everything that had happened after her return to Y City.

'She better not think of me as a pushover. I don't want to argue with her only because I don't wish to prolong this useless conversation, not because I don't have the guts to challenge her. If she does not learn to control her arrogance, I will make her pay for what she has done to me so far!' Sheryl thought to herself.

"Sheryl, don't refuse my invitation so hastily. I just sent you an email. How about you read that mail first and then make your decision about whether you want to see me or not?" Rachel smirked.
