The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1459

When Sheryl raised her head, she saw a skinny man standing with his back to her.

'Is he also here for Cassie? Interesting. I didn't realize that Cassie was such a popular girl, ' Sheryl teased in her mind.

'Is he pursuing Cassie? If he is, I have to watch him closely, for Nick's sake. I wouldn't let this man steal Cassie away from him, ' Sheryl thought to herself as she slowly tried to inch towards him. She was trying to listen in on the conversation.

"Cassie's not here. Is there any thing I can help you with?" Cassie's colleague said.

"Oh, nothing important, really. I made her soup. Could you tell her to eat it while it's still warm?" the man said calmly.

'Soup?' Sheryl thought, surprised. 'Wow! He made soup for her. What a nice guy! If such a nice man is pursuing Cassie, I wouldn't be surprised if she fell in love with him.'

Sheryl stood up from where she was sitting as she waited for the man to come out.

Cassie's colleague seemed also surprised by what the man said so he remained silent.

A few moments later, the colleague said, "All right, you can put it here. This is Cassie's desk."

"Alright. Thank you very much," the man responded.

"Wait. Who should I say it's from? When Cassie comes back, I can tell her who the soup's from," he said.

But the man didn't respond again. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, but there's no need for that. If she wants to know, she'll find a way."

Then the man turned around to leave.

Sheryl lowered her head and focused on her phone when she heard the sound of footsteps coming nearer.

But just as the man was about to pass by, she suddenly raised her head. "Sir, please, wait."

Jordan wasn't planning on staying. He didn't even want Cassie to know that the soup was from him. It wasn't the right time to tell her yet. But suddenly, a woman stopped him from leaving. He paused in his tracks and looked towards where the sound had come from.

A beautiful woman stood in front of him smiling at him like she'd known him for years.

But Jordan was sure that he didn't know her because he could never forget a woman so beautiful as she was. He couldn't say no to her—she was too beautiful. So he looked back at her calmly.

"Miss, do I know you from somewhere?" he asked politely.

"No, you don't," Sheryl said, shaking her head, "But you know Cassie and I know Cassie."

This piqued his interest. 'Is she a friend of Cassie's?' he thought to himself, 'Then the more reason to be polite to her.'

"I see. You're also looking for Cassie?" he asked.

"Yes. I believe we haven't been introduced. I'm Sheryl Xia. Nice to meet you. What's your name?" Sheryl said as she reached out her hand.
