The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1223

"What are you talking about, Aunt Melissa? It wasn't your son's fault. Sheryl is the one to blame. If she hadn't made up stories to set me up, he wouldn't have treated me that way. He was fooled by Sheryl!" Leila said.

"You're right, Leila. Would you like to return to work at Shining Company?" Melissa echoed immediately. She had forgotten that Leila didn't have a job. However, since Leila brought it up, it dawned on her that Leila could work at Charles' company. That way, Leila would get more chances to be near her son.

Although she wasn't sure whether Charles would agree to this, she was willing to give it a shot for his future happiness.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal. The worst result would be Charles refusing her request.

Hearing Melissa's question, Leila knew her wish would be fulfilled soon. And she needed to act well in front of Charles' mother. Fixing a pitiful look on her face, Leila wanted to arouse Melissa's sympathy so that she would go to great lengths to talk her son into offering her a job. "Really, Aunt Melissa? Do you think I could work at Shining Company again?" Leila gushed, her eyes sparkling as she took hold of Melissa's hand.

"You have no idea how much I want to go back to work there. I was just afraid that Mr. Lu wouldn't hire me, so I..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll persuade Charles to offer you a position. Rest assured," Melissa declared firmly.

"Thank you, Aunt Melissa. You're the best," Leila said calmly, trying to contain her excitement.

She immediately started brainstorming ways to win Charles' heart once she started working with him again.

Meanwhile in Tarsan Corporation, Rachel and Holley had serious problems.

No company was willing to work with them. Out of options, Rachel called Lance, but he didn't answer the phone.

"What is Lance thinking? Isn't he afraid I might expose those videos to the public?" Rachel yelled in an irritated tone. Simmering with rage, she didn't know how to vent.

"What's your plan, Ms. Bai?" Holley inquired. She had no idea what game Lance was playing.

"I have no clue. What about you? Didn't you say you'd always help me? What should we do? Why can't you give me some good advice at this critical moment? What's wrong with you?" Rachel raised her voice, glaring at Holley. Holley's tricks never worked, and this enraged Rachel.

In Holley's eyes, Rachel was a short-tempered and timid perfectionist. Once something didn't go as she expected, she would flare up and become unreasonable. Looking at the angry woman, Holley shook her head in frustration. 'She looks like a shrew, ' she thought.

"You're seriously asking what my plan is? My plan has already started and is still on," Holley responded in a composed manner as she took a seat opposite her boss.

"What do you mean? I hate guessing. What's your plan? Just tell me right now," Rachel demanded testily.

"Cool down. I copied those videos and gave them to a person who can get to Lance's wife. If Lance backed out and stopped working with us, his wife would get those videos," Holley explained.
