The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1567

"Black, I also miss you very much. How about this? Give me a kiss and then you go home? Just a kiss, Honey, okay? I'm really not in a good mood tonight. Please!" Holley pleaded piteously, seemingly pretty perplexed.

Holley's rejection came as a blow to Black. Her reply was absolutely contrary to what he thought of her. Her refusal to obey him was the last thing Black had ever expected after so much of requesting and begging. Anyways, much to his disappointment, Holley turned him down relentlessly.

Black glanced at Holley. He could mark a change in Holley's behavior but was still not sure about the reason. Maybe, she was holding back something in her mind that he was not aware of.

Thinking about this, Black embraced Holley and kissed her on her forehead lovingly, saying, "Holley, are you still bothered because of the assassin? Are you afraid that he'll come back again?"

Holley couldn't help snorting secretly. 'Of course, you idiot!' she thought with disgust. What other reason would have made her turn to Black had it not been for Bernard's threat? However, to her distress, before she could solve the problem of Bernard, Ferry came back.

Her situation aptly justified the proverb "Misfortunes never come alone." But she also knew that Black would not be able to defuse her crisis with Ferry.

At the thought of it, Holley heaved a deep sigh and said, "Black, in fact, I'm worried about you. You and your father have not been getting along too well of late. I think, maybe you shouldn't bother him with my problems anymore. What do you think?"

"But I have promised to help you, and I have also mentioned it to him once. Don't worry, my dear. Just as I said, he agreed to protect you. I'm sure nobody will dare to hurt you now," Black said confidently.

"I know. But the assassin organization is far too dangerous. I don't want to involve your father in it because of my safety. I asked for your help before because I didn't think through it carefully. But now I realize that I did a bad thing!" Holley sighed, putting on a regretful look.

"Holley, don't ever say that again; otherwise I'll be mad at you! You know what? We are family! I must help you and protect you!" Black said, sounding a little offended.

He thought that Holley was making excuses to push him away, which irritated him.

"All right. But today I'm really very exhausted. If you stay here, I won't get a good night's sleep. Will you go back home tonight, please?" Holley pleaded again.

Left with no choice, Black agreed to leave.

"Alright then. Take care of yourself. I will leave now!" Black said.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of myself," Holley answered sweetly.

Black stood up unwillingly and took his leave.

After Black was gone, Holley heaved a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as she calmed down, one name kept haunting her and she couldn't help but slump on the sofa powerlessly like a deflated ball.

Sheryl! She was the one. She was responsible for everything. She had sent Holley into this distressful situation. Sheryl was her sworn enemy!

At Cloud Advertising Company

Feeling overwhelmingly grieved, Sheryl had no place to go but her own company.

She had no idea what she should do now. When she asked for help, everybody turned their back at her, including Charles. This was the first time that Sheryl had found herself in such a desperate situation.

Sheryl had nearly lost her mind in despair.

All of a sudden, she was startled by the cell phone buzzing.

It was an unknown number. She looked at it for a while and then picked it up.

"Is that Sheryl?" a man asked from the other end of the line. Sheryl was surprised that the man knew her. At the same time, she also felt a little uncanny about this unfamiliar voice. She couldn't help feeling suspicious about his identity.

"Who are you?" she asked in a cold tone.

"Listen to my orders if you want to save Nick!" the man said curtly, without answering her question.
