The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1688

When David finished speaking, Charles didn't know what to think.

"Even a small company thinks it can compete with us now," Charles said in a low voice.

David could sense that Charles was getting angry. He kept his head low as he waited for Charles to scold him. However, Charles didn't say anything, and he raised his head again to steal a glance at him.

Charles looked sullen. David was so terrified that he quickly averted his eyes again.

"Are you the actual owner of the company?"

"No. Sir, why?" David shook his head.

He had no idea what Charles was getting at.

While David seemed nervous, Charles was much more composed.

After noticing how nervous David was, he slowly said, "If not, then why are you scared?"

"Sir, I..." David was at a loss for words.

"All right. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be afraid. Is there anything else that you've found?" Charles put down the documents in his hand.

After thinking for a while, David answered, "Sir, although I haven't found out who the actual owner of the company is, I found out that someone within the Shining Company is involved."

This was what David had worried about the most. He had been thinking about how he was going to tell Charles this.

"In the Shining Company? Who?" Charles wasn't really surprised. After all, such a leakage wouldn't be possible without someone on the inside.

"Whoever it is, he's really careful, because even I don't know who he is," David answered.

"Okay, I get it. Continue with the investigation. Report to me if you find anything." After Charles gave his instructions, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Then David left Charles' office. When he closed the door, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

Then he walked away.

After David left, Charles opened his eyes again, clearly contemplating on something.

'Who could this person be?' he pondered.

He was racking his brain, trying to come up with possible names. However, he couldn't keep his focus right now. His brain seemed to be so preoccupied with something else that it couldn't function properly.

Charles knew that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't concentrate, so he just gave up.

Soon, he left the company and headed towards the Dream Garden.

The Dream Garden was quite peaceful.

Melissa was sitting on the couch in the main lobby, as if she was purposefully waiting for Charles.

"Charles, you're back! How was your day? Are you tired?" The moment Charles opened the door, Melissa walked over to him and beamed at him.

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Charles asked as he got himself a cup of water.
