The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1302

"Goodbye, Miss Ye!" Holley wanted to say more but Charles stopped her by saying goodbye.

Having left with no choice, she went out of his office. Charles was just staring at her retreating form, lost in thought.

The private detective he hired was still investigating who started the rumor. But, so far, there was no satisfying result. For a second there, Charles was tempted to ask Holley directly.

What drove him to think of her was her obvious intention. She had the motive. But what depressed him was the lack of evidence. More so, his involvement was because of the joint project. He couldn't turn against her now without jeopardizing the partnership.

Meanwhile, Black called Holley again. Still, there was no response. As her boyfriend, it was unnatural for him not to see her for so many days now. This was making him feel depressed.

So, he finally decided to visit Tarsan Corporation just to see her. But, she was not around.

"She didn't come to work today?" Black felt surprised. Disregarding what others would think of him, he still came here to see her. Unfortunately, the assistant told him that she didn't arrive.

"Yes, Mr. Hu. Miss Ye isn't at the company. She just called to inform us that she appointed someone to handle everything and not to contact her unless it is something really important." Remembering Black as one of the shareholders who attended the dinner celebration and stayed beside Holley all the time during that night, she thought that this man should know Holley's whereabouts.

"Did Miss Ye mention her location and her work schedule?" Not giving up, Black grilled the assistant for more information.

"I am so sorry, Sir. I don't know anything. She didn't inform me." The assistant looked confused as well.

"Thank you for your assistance. If Miss Ye arrives, please tell her that I am looking for her and we need to discuss something important." Frustrated, Black left the office.

On his way to the stairs, he heard somebody mention the name of the person who filled his thoughts every night and day.

"What makes Miss Ye so busy these days? She is not always around. Like today, I have something important to discuss with her, but I can't find her again,"

one worker complained loudly.

This made Black more confused. Why was Holley not at the company every day? It wasn't like her. He knew her as the person who always put Tarsan Corporation above everything else. What was she up to that made her leave her work behind?

Suddenly, he remembered how she dealt with him these last few days. She was cold to him. The idea of Holley loving somebody else entered his mind.

Knowing that it was a big possibility, Black felt nervous and sad.

"Maybe, Miss Ye has a boyfriend," another one answered.

"What you said makes sense. I have noticed that Miss Ye often goes out, radiant with joy. She must really be in love. But what makes me miserable is the tons of work. When she is not around, we have more work to do. It is so irritating."

When Black heard that, he felt chilled to the bones. Holley seldom showed up at the company. He couldn't see her. So who was she with?

What he learned this day made him suspicious and somehow uncontrollable. He wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Black left Tarsan Corporation in black mood.

At the Shining Company the next day

It was almost noon when Holley arrived. It was very unusual of her. This time, she brought a lunch box.
