The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1486

Leila could not mend her ways. Even in public, Leila behaved in such unscrupulous. No wonder, she got caught by Sheryl so easily.

Just after Leila took her seat, she asked for a menu from a waiter. Then as soon as she got the menu, she started ordering without even sparing a look at Holley, who looked rather unhappy by Leila's gesture. Leila randomly picked the most expensive dishes from the menu and ordered much more than two girls could finish up in one meal.

Holley stared at Leila with absolute disgust. She despised Leila's behavior that came across like an upstart who was hell-bent to prove that she came from a rich background. However, her gestures revealed quite opposite of that—completely bereft of any refinement or aristocracy. Holley mapped Leila with her eyes as she marked her attitude with much abhorrence. However, she refrained from making any sarcastic remark on Leila's face. After all, Holley was not like Leila. She had seen much of life, so no matter how much scornful she felt in her heart, she chose to hide it from Leila.

Moreover, Leila would prove to be useful for her at the moment. Had it not been for her vested interest, Holley wouldn't have even spared a glance at the likes of Leila! And for such upstart behavior, she would have left without hesitation.

"Okay, that's enough. Go to make them," Leila said to the waiter with a smile when she finished ordering. Her words were harsh, and her tone was extremely arrogant that would put anybody with a decent background to shames.

As the waiter left, Leila picked up the teacup to take a small sip. She exuded a fake elegance and sense of style that made Holley fly into a rage.

"Leila, don't you think you ordered too many dishes? There are only two of us. I don't think we will be able to eat them all," Holley said slowly.

Leila let out a snobbish laugh, shrugged her shoulders and replied, "So? Would it matter if we don't eat them all? Since we're here, I want to taste as many as dishes I can. I don't want to waste such a good opportunity."

Holley felt even more repulsive towards Leila when she heard her reply. 'How hungry she is! She is indeed a horrible woman!" she thought to herself.

"Do you know what I wanted to do the most when I was in prison?" Leila looked at Holley and asked with her wandering eyes.

Holley suppressed her disgust and asked, "What was it?"

"I wished I could eat toasted chicken. Delicious, juicy and succulent toasted chicken!" Leila closed her eyes as if she revived the taste of toasted chicken in her mind, and then opened them all of a sudden. "Do you know how the prison dishes tasted?" Leila suddenly fixed her eyes on Holley as she said.

When she saw Holley flinch, she softened her eyes and shook her head. She then clicked her tongue and continued, "It was the taste that you could never imagine. It was tasteless. It had no taste at all. No, I was wrong. Actually, it had a taste. It tasted so sour. What a strong sour taste! When you took the first spoon, you would never want a second one. But you would be hungry if you didn't eat. So you had to force yourself to eat. I still remember how I forced myself to eat. After I swallowed, I used my finger to pull it out of my throat. Then I took another spoon and threw up until I felt that the food did not taste sour or stunk. That was when I felt assured..."

"So what made you to feel assured?" Holley felt disgusted when she heard Leila's story at the beginning, but she became curious towards the end of it.

Upon hearing Holley's question, Leila let out a hearty laugh. "Because I knew I wouldn't die in prison. I would have a chance to crawl myself out of that hell."

Leila's laughter terrified Holley. She suddenly felt that she didn't know the woman who was sitting across her. Earlier, she had thought that Leila was born in an ordinary family and didn't see much of life, so it would be easy for her to manipulate.

But she was wrong. She forgot what Leila had been gone through. She had been in prison! How much etiquette could you expect from a woman who had been in prison? Even if she was a fool, she would become tough after she experienced life in prison.

Although Leila didn't have any ability, she had her ambition and coldness to her advantage. With them, she would definitely accomplish something unusual.

When Holley thought about that, Leila looked different to her. She changed her attitude towards Leila because she needed to make the right decision if she wanted to use her.

When they were still talking, dishes were served one by one. Holley suggested, "Let's eat first. Otherwise the food will become cold."

"Okay." Leila picked up the chopsticks and dug into her favorite dish immediately without showing any mark of modesty.
