The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 14

Charles opened his mouth to explain. But he had no idea what to say. Rachel couldn't bear it any further.

Hearing Autumn call her "the mistress", Rachel was fuming with anger. Her words hit her like a sharp knife ripping her soul.

Rachel walked up to Autumn with a pride of a peacock. She was not taller than Autumn, but since she wore high heels, she looked down at Autumn from a height.

"Dare you say that again." Rachel said angrily

The entire incidence had shaken up David. If these two ladies had a fight, he didn't know which one to support.

He prayed in his head, 'Mrs. Lu, please hold back your anger, then this could be the end of the story.'

But Autumn looked at Rachel straight in the eyes and fearlessly asked, "Am I wrong? Rachel Bai, please conduct yourself. Charles is married. You let the media hype the scandal between you and Charles and now you are here at his office too. Do you want everyone to know you are Charles's mistress?"

Autumn could be persuaded by reasons but not cowed by force. If Rachel talked to her in a polite tone, Autumn wouldn't have argued with her.

But now she was pissed with Rachel's attitude. She continued, "Well? Did you come here to wish Charles a happily married life?"

"Bitch! You are screwed!" Rachel was used to being an arrogant celebrity. Her assistant and agent always treated her with utmost respect. Even Charles doted on her.

Rachel couldn't bear being mocked by a nobody like this. She raised her hand to slap Autumn right in the face.

David shut his eyes with fear.

Autumn had no time to react. She helplessly watched Rachel's hand come closer to her face. But her hand never hit her.

"Charles. what are you doing?" Charles grabbed Rachel's wrist, his face fuming with anger. David was relieved. "Let go of my hand! I must teach this arrogant secretary a lesson today." Rachel yelled.

"Enough!" Charles shouted impatiently.

Autumn went blank for a moment. It was too late when she realised that she had offended Rachel.

She didn't expect Charles to protect her.

Rachel had been dating Charles for a long time now. But this was the first time she saw Charles getting mad at her like this. She was shocked for a moment and started wailing bitterly.

Autumn rolled her eyes secretly.

Anyone who wasn't present in the room might just think that it was Autumn who bullied Rachel.

If the paparazzi got to know and posted about it, Autumn would be cursed by Rachel's countless fans.

Rachel didn't care about what Autumn thought of her. She felt as if she had been wronged by Charles. She cried and poured out her bitterness, "Charles, I know I shouldn't have lost my temper two days ago. I know I was wrong and this is why I came here today to apologise to you. We've been together for years and gone through thick and thin together. I don't want to give up on our love."
