The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 121

Despite the frown on her face, Autumn made no response to Mr. Yi's piercing sarcasm. When it came to decision-making, she knew that Mr. Zhang had the final say.

"Isla!" Mr. Zhang shouted with a grim face.

Isla, who was just waiting nearby, came back quickly when she heard her name being called. "What's the matter, Mr. Zhang?" she asked, not knowing about the conflict that just happened.

"Isla, are you out of your mind? How can you recommend someone unreliable to our company?

Now, it's either you tell your friend to cancel her job application or someone might be laid off. Do you hear me?" he exclaimed, clearly exasperated.

"What happened, Mr. Zhang?" Isla asked out of confusion.

She looked back at Mr. Zhang as she gave Autumn a questioning look.

"Excuse me Miss, is she your friend?" Mr. Yi asked Isla unexpectedly.

"You'd better keep people like her at a distance or else you'll risk having your own reputation dented, " he said politely, noticing how attractive she was despite being sharp-tongued and ill-tempered.

"Autumn has been set up, " Isla said, quickly understanding the reason for Mr. Zhang's anger.

He must have heard the rumor that had spread in the whole advertising circle about Autumn. "I have known Autumn for years and I can vouch for her integrity. She must have been discredited by others, but she is the last person who can do such a thing, " Isla said, defending her friend.

"How dare you talk back to me! Do you really want to be laid off?"

Mr. Zhang snapped, knowing that he would never have the courage to hire Mr. Yi's sworn enemy.

"I'm warning you. It's either she leaves or you two will leave together."

He snarled, pointing at Isla's nose, "Didn't you hear? Mr. Yi said that

Your friend doesn't have loyalty and integrity! Our company has no place for such a dirty rat."

"You.."

Isla, who was meant to argue for her friend, was stopped by Autumn in mid-sentence. "Forget it, " she said.

She was merely trying her luck today, but it turned out she didn't have much. Coming across Mr. Yi wasn't something she expected.

It wouldn't be worth it to lose Isla's job just for her sake. "I'll just go, " she said, realizing that she could do nothing about the current situation.

Before leaving, she caught Mr. Yi casting her a glance with a smirk on his face as if to say, 'You see, I said you'd regret about everything'.

He continued to talk, putting her down with his words. "Miss Ye, I don't think you can still build a career in the advertising industry. You are lucky that you're beautiful enough. You might be interested to apply to the entertainment club that I just opened. Maybe you might find your place there."

Mr. Zhang laughed along with Mr. Yi as soon as he stopped talking. They saw Autumn as someone hopeless who was left with no choice.

Autumn didn't say a word. However, Isla couldn't take it any longer. Taking Autumn's hand, she turned to Mr. Yi and said, "So you're Mr. Yi? Has anyone ever told you that you're ugly? In fact, you're too ugly to make money in any of your business ventures. I suggest you should just stay at home in case your hideous face creeps people out."

"Isla, are you out of your mind?" exclaimed Mr. Zhang, taken aback by her words. Mr. Yi was one of the major clients of his company. He had always done everything to please him and treated him with utmost respect. That's why he couldn't believe that Isla could talk to Mr. Yi in such a rude manner.

"You…

Get out of my face! I don't want to see you anymore!"

He yelled at Isla furiously.

"Don't worry. This will be the last time you see me."
