The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1323

"Do as you please." Alan sat back on his chair, allowing Holley to take the call.

"Hello. Make it quick. I'm busy right now," Holley said impatiently. Although she sounded a little bit rude, Alan still thought she was perfect in every way.

"Miss Ye, there is a document that needs your signature for confirmation. Could you please come back to the company right now? It's urgent." The secretary spoke loud as instructed.

"Can't it wait? Do you really need it now?" Holley took a quick glance at Alan, who remained quiet in his seat listening to the phone call.

"Yes, Miss Ye. Please come back as soon as possible." The secretary was still confused. Holley asked her to call and deliver that message. She was not in the position to ask for an explanation.

"All right. I'm going back right now." Holley immediately hung up. She looked worried and anxious after the phone conversation.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I have to owe you a rain check. As you heard, I have to go back to attend to a company emergency. Maybe next time?" Using her charm, Holley blinked her pleading eyes at Alan.

Alan couldn't help but feel annoyed by today's turn of events. His plan to spend the day with Holley was disturbed once again and he tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry about it. Please go ahead with your business first. We'll go out again some other time." Grinding his teeth, Alan looked a little bit enraged as he replied.

"Again, my apologies. See you then." Without further ado, Holley grabbed her purse and immediately left Blue Bird Coffee.

Holley let out a huge sigh of relief as she stepped out of the cafe. Her plan was successful. She finally dumped Alan. She would be extremely suffocated if she continued to spend time with such a disgusting person.

While on the road, Holley planned on visiting Charles in the hospital later that day. The emergency was just an excuse. Work would definitely be a breeze.

The thought of seeing Charles made her heart race.

She hadn't seen him for a while so she wasn't sure how he was recovering. She wasn't used to seeing him all pale and weak. Even in illness, Charles still looked handsome. His undisciplined aura made her entranced.

As soon as she stepped in the office of Tarsan Corporation, duty called.

"Miss Ye, this is the document that needs confirmation today." The secretary listed all the assignments that Holley required and handed over the document.

"Well, just leave it there," Holley instructed. The secretary put the folder on top of her desk and left afterwards. Holley started working. Her mind was set on her goal to finish early so she could have time to visit Charles.

The thought of it fueled her with much energy to finish work faster and efficiently.

It took Holley until three in the afternoon to finish everything on her plate. Feeling accomplished, she finally stood up and went to the restroom. She retouched her makeup. Finishing it up with her red lipstick, she smiled at herself in the mirror. She then grabbed her purse and left.

While on her way to the elevator, her phone started ringing. She reached into her purse to get it.

The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize. Puzzled, Holley hesitated for a while before she finally answered the phone.

"Hello? Who is this?" Holley asked impatiently since she was in a hurry to go to the hospital.
