The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1768

At this moment, Leila was extremely nervous. Deep down, she was worried that Charles would reject her once again. After gathering some courage, she had made up her mind to voice her desire. Also, she realized that she couldn't always let her fear stop her.

Charles was dealing with some paperwork. When he heard what Leila said, he knitted his eyebrows slightly. After a while, he replied, "I've got it. You can go first. I'll go there later."

"Char... Mr. Lu, let's go together. I want to buy a present for Aunt Melissa. After all, I've noticed that she's looking a lot happier for the first time in a long while. Don't disappoint her," Leila said in an aggressive tone.

Irritated by Holley, Leila was anxious to achieve quick success today. She wanted to stay with Charles. She wouldn't let him go, no matter what.

A trace of irritation crossed Charles' eyes. He put the pen down and said coldly, "Okay. We will do that, but wait for me outside."

"Okay then!" Leila smiled when she heard that Charles had finally agreed. She cast a gentle look at Charles before she walked out of the office.

Outside, she patiently waited for him. It took him several minutes to wrap up his work. When she saw Charles push the door open, she immediately went to meet him.

"You must be tired," Leila greeted him, making her voice seductively soft.

Charles didn't utter a word. He merely nodded his head and walked to the elevator.

His actions made Leila a little unhappy. But she forced herself to hide her unhappiness. Feigning a smile, she followed him into the elevator.

The rest of the employees had already gotten off work. Only Leila and Charles were left in the elevator. So, Leila used this opportunity to act recklessly.

While Charles was immersed in his thoughts, she took this opportunity to pull his arm. "Charles, I'm going to buy Aunt Melissa some clothes. How about something from the latest collection of Channel? It's the global limited edition and can only be bought in the boutique that is located in the West City. I've told the sales..."

Charles suddenly turned to look at Leila, his eyes full of displeasure.

Leila suddenly realized that he had become displeased, so she let go of his arm. With an embarrassed smile, she asked, "Charles, will you accompany me?"

"Did you drive to the company today?" Charles asked, showing no emotions.

Leila shook her head. Innocently, she bit her lips and looked at him.

"Let's go together. Call my mother and tell her that we'll be late today!"

Charles said coldly like he had no interest. He had just finished some assignments, and his mind was still on them.

"Great! I'm calling her right away!"

Charles' indifferent expression was a stark contrast to Leila's happy face. Knowing that he would go out with her, she could barely contain her elation.

At the Cloud Advertising Company, Sheryl was eyeing Phoebe.

Sheryl had just found out that Phoebe was trying to hide something from her. This discovery was made when she asked her to deal with a file.

Phoebe had never acted so carelessly before. Besides, Sheryl noticed her checking the clock on the wall from time to time.

Sheryl rolled her eyes and faked a cough intentionally. She then said, "Phoebe, is there an emergency?"

"What? Miss Xia, what did you say? Emergency? No. There is nothing."
