The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1507

'How is it that Charles has anticipated the impending debacle well in advance and taken necessary measures at the right time?'

Sheryl was bewildered as she learned how meticulously Charles managed everything. She racked her brain to find a solution but she ended up getting completely confused.

"Phoebe, how did you come to know about that?" Sheryl questioned, in a calm voice.

Phoebe let out an awkward smile and said, "It was just a coincidence. After the press conference was dismissed, I happened to overhear Mr. Lu talking to someone."

Sheryl remained silent for a while. "I see." Sheryl heaved a sigh, looked at Phoebe with a faint smile and added, "Thanks a lot for all you have done for us, Phoebe. You must be exhausted. I allow you to take off for the day. You can go home to get some rest."

"Really? Manager Xia. Thank you so much. I am so appreciative of you!" Phoebe could hardly conceal the excitement in her voice. She felt more than happy.

"Yes, you deserve it."

Hanging up the phone, Sheryl sank into contemplation.

She had never expected that Charles would do so much for her silently. The ongoing conflicts between them had actually shaken up Sheryl's faith in Charles. It made her to become speculative about Charles' dedication towards her. However, to her embarrassment, Charles had unwavering faith and loyalty towards her.

The more Sheryl thought about it, she felt ashamed of herself. She was extremely regretful at the same time.

As she thought of the days when she had deliberately been indifferent and cold towards Charles, she felt more and more remorseful.

Sheryl wanted to apologize to Charles immediately. She reached out for her phone and took out Charles' number in her contact list. But just before she could click the call button, she stopped. 'What will I say if Charles picks up the phone?' Suddenly, she felt that she didn't have the courage to even say sorry to him.

However, Sheryl was aware that she had been at fault this time.

It would be unfair if she didn't apologize to Charles.

Sheryl heaved a sigh, tried to gather up all her conflicting thoughts and decided to make the call.

In a suburban villa

A man dashed like an arrow into the hall.

However, his momentum slowed down and he halted in front of the door. He fixed his gaze at the petite and sultry lady sitting elegantly on a chair at the door, blocking the man's way out of the house.

Her slender fingers were delicately painted with nail polish. With the remote control held in her hand, she was staring at the television. The news coverage was about a jumping case.

"Reportedly, a woman who attempted suicide by the name Lancy Lan was a professional model working with Cloud Advertising Company. And the police have proved that reason behind this whole incident was some personal vengeance. It was completely irrelevant to the company or its director Sheryl Xia…"

The female reporter concluded in a clear and mild voice. However, it sounded shrill and harsh to Rachel's ears.

"Damn it!" Rachel shouted and threw the remote control toward the television.

Bang! The gadget bounced at the screen and fell on the ground, breaking into several pieces. However, to her utter disgust, the TV was still on and tuned to the same news channel with the reporter's voice still reaching her ears.

"What is the point in venting out your anger on the remote control?" Bernard blurted out, after hesitating for a while. He observed Rachel's behavior and tried to comfort her. Staying sober, he silently walked over to pick up the broken remote control.

Assembling the parts, Bernard was surprised to find that it was still working.

"You assured me that everything would work perfectly as per the plan. Now please give me an explanation!" Rachel glared at Bernard and gritted her teeth, as she challenged him with an angry expression.

"Something must have gone wrong. Before I can give any explanation to you, I have to meet with Lancy first," Bernard answered after pondering for a while.
