The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 137

David was quite proficient. He quickly managed to find important information about buying out Cloud Advertising Company. He put the file on Charles' desk and said, "Mr. Lu, the person who I assigned to contact Ryan told me that Ryan was asking for a high price and he wanted to continue to work in Cloud Advertising Company. Will we still purchase it?"

"Of course we will." Charles was going to make Ryan pay for what he had done.

Since Ryan had liked bossing Autumn around in the past, Charles wanted to make hime know how it felt to work for Autumn.

Charles wouldn't tell Autumn how to treat him. That would be her prerogative.

"This matter needs to be settled as soon as possible." Charles couldn't wait to give Autumn a big surprise.

Under Charles' authority, David sped up the acquisition. As long as the price was good, Ryan would certainly be willing to sell the company.

Most importantly, since Autumn left Cloud Advertising Company, the business of the company had been going downhill and they hadn't landed a single big case in a while.

Of course, that was mostly because of Charles.

Charles was processing some files when Leila came by. "Mr. Lu, your signature is needed on this file, " she said.

Leila was very professional and methodical at work.

When Charles signed his name, Leila didn't leave immediately. She asked, "Mr. Lu, there's a banquet tonight. Are you going alone or..."

"I'm not going." He was worried that Yvonne might bully Autumn in his absence.

Therefore, Charles decided to go straight home after work these days.

Leila didn't say another word. She was still embarrassed at what had happened yesterday. Only with hard work could she win back Charles' approval. That was the only thing that was on her mind.

She wasn't in a rush. As his secretary, she'd have plenty of opportunities ahead, to get to him.

It didn't matter what Mrs. Lu was like. The most important thing was whom he liked.

Autumn was still anxious to find a job. At the same time, Isla, who resigned from her position, was bothered by another problem.

After Isla quit her job, she visited her hometown. Knowing that she had lost her job, her family started to urge her to find a boyfriend. They kept saying that marriage was the most important thing in a girl's life; marriage was like a second life for girls, etc. They tried everything, but Isla wasn't convinced.

Isla was so annoyed by them that she only stayed there for two days and then went back to Y City. However, her mom didn't stop urging her just because she went back and had already fixed her a blind date in Y City.

"Isla, your aunt wants you to meet this man. No matter what you think, at the very least, you should go meet him. Or else, I will be very angry. You hear me?" Her mom shouted on the phone. She was purely a country yokel. It was early in the morning. Isla was still sleeping. But her mom's loud voice woke her up and nearly scared her off the bed.

"Mom, I told you I didn't want to think about this right now. Can you just let it go?" Isla scratched her head resignedly.
