The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1322

"All right. Then let's meet at the Blue Bird Coffee tomorrow morning, at 10 a.m. How does it sound to you?" Holley asked.

"Okay. I'm looking forward to our meeting, Miss Ye. See you tomorrow," Alan replied.

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhao." Holley ended the call.

Holley found herself confounded that Alan could agree to meet her without qualms after being offended the last time. She initially thought that he must still be mad at her.

The next morning, after giving herself a final glimpse in the mirror, she headed out of her room. Soon after, she stood outside the glass door of the Blue Bird Coffee. Thanking herself for arriving way ahead of time, she took a step inside.

She wanted to be here earlier than Alan so she could choose a favorable window seat. She never wanted to be harassed again like what happened last time. Noting that the agreed venue was quite a busy place, she somehow felt assured that maybe he would not dare to do anything to her.

Finally settling herself down, she took out her phone to check the time. It was already 10 o'clock, but Alan was still nowhere to be seen. It worried her as she contemplated in silence.

It was exactly 10 minutes when the door of the Blue Bird Coffee was suddenly pushed open. Alan came into view as he silently swept his gaze across the room. A small grin crept into his lips when his gaze fell on Holley, who was sitting by the window. Then he purposely made his way towards her.

As soon as he took his seat, he smiled widely and stared at Holley with his bedroom eyes.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry for being late," he apologized insincerely. With his eyes fixing on Holley's plump breasts, he was indeed not sorry at all.

"Never mind. I have just arrived here not long ago. What do you want to drink, Mr. Zhao?" Holley handed him the menu.

After both of them placing their orders, Holley proactively brought up their unpleasant meeting last time.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry for what happened last time in the hotel. I know I was very irrational at that time. I was afraid that Rachel wanted to create trouble for me, so I rushed to leave. She is such a crazy woman, which was why I behaved so impolite and anxious. I know that I offended you, but I didn't mean it, seriously! I'm so sorry about that!"

Holley maintained eye contact with Alan, seemingly like she was saying that from the bottom of her heart. She knew that she was always a good actress.

However, she had underestimated Alan, who was an old fox. Her little trick couldn't fool him at all. No matter how sincerely she acted and pleaded her case, he would only treat her as a joke.

He almost got her in bed. But who would have thought that she could manage to get rid of him and leave resolutely? What was more, before she turned her back, she cursed that he was a disgusting and dirty old man. She offended him to the core, and he would never forget that insult.

Alan couldn't help sneering in his mind. He didn't have the heart to expose her lie now. Instead, he waited patiently, eager to know what her purpose was today.

Holley watched his mysterious smile and silent face, unsure of what to do next. She asked carefully, "Mr. Zhao, are you still mad at me?"

She decided to observe his expression more intently at this time, hoping she could read him better.

"How can I be mad at you? If you didn't mention it, I almost have forgotten that thing. It's nonsense. Forget it. I can understand how you felt at that time. What is gone is gone. Let's all put the things in the past aside, okay?" Alan gave her a wide smile as if he had cast it aside.

Though his words somewhat brought her relief, she remained still apprehensive. She was not sure whether he was telling that sincerely or not. He could be reassuring her but also investigating her at the same time.
