The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1775

The next morning greeted Dream Garden with a bright sunshine.

After preparing for work, Leila happily went downstairs looking for Charles, only to find that he had already left.

Leila almost couldn't keep her joyful expression, knowing that she just helped Charles yesterday, but now he had already forgotten about it. He didn't even wait for her, so they could drive to the company together. It meant to say that he didn't care about her as much as she expected.

"Leila, don't feel bad," Melissa tried to console her. "He left very early. He was initially going to ask you, but I told him to let you get some more sleep." Since Melissa had been through the experience, she knew how Leila felt. She tried her best to explain to her thoughtfully, hoping she would not blame Charles.

Of course, Charles didn't try to check on Leila. Not wanting Leila to feel bad, Melissa had to make up a white lie.

"Aunt Melissa, I've got it. Thank you." Feeling embarrassed, Leila's displeased expression immediately disappeared after she heard Melissa's explanation.

Meanwhile, at the Shining Company, David was on his way to Charles' office. Sweat was dripping from his forehead. He slightly pulled his polo collar to the side, hoping the gap would allow air to come in and help him cool down.

David didn't expect Charles to come in so early. He was supposed to have had his breakfast at home, but his phone started ringing while he was deciding on what he would have. Seeing Charles' name on the caller ID, he immediately picked it up and confirmed that he was on his way. David ended up skipping breakfast and went straight to the company.

Standing in front of Charles' office, he took a deep breath before raising his fist. Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

"What can I do for you, President. Lu?" David asked, catching his breath.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked with concern. Seeing David breathing heavily, he knew that David must have run over to the office.

"President Lu, didn't you say it's an emergency?"

Looking at Charles' doubtful expression, David started to wonder if it was indeed Charles who called him earlier today. He was pretty sure he spoke with Charles a while ago. So why did it seem that Charles was surprised to see him rushing in?

Feeling embarrassed since David had misunderstood his phone call, Charles smiled and replied, "Actually, it's not an emergency. I just wanted to know my immediate schedule."

"What?"

David asked loudly, shocked. He didn't expect that the reason why Charles asked him to come quickly was just to check on his schedule. He couldn't believe what he heard! He had thought that it was a matter of life or death.

"Can I?" Charles asked. "Why do you look so shocked?" He couldn't help his reaction, seeing David's puzzled face.

"Oh, it's nothing, President Lu. Just give me one moment so I can show you."

Browsing on his iPad, David shook his head, trying to get back to his senses.

A few seconds later, he found it and advised, "President Lu, you will have some important meetings this week. There are a few related to the contract renewal, so you have to attend those. The other small meetings are not so important, and we can just send a representative."

Guessing that Charles must have something important to do, David only told him about the important meetings and waited for his reply.

After a few moments, Charles finally spoke, saying, "Put all the meetings off till next week."

"What?" David couldn't help asking. Charles was not the type who would postpone work schedules because of his private affairs. His current request completely blew David's mind. 'So, what is going on here?' David thought to himself.

"Postpone all of them. I will be traveling to Malaysia with my mother from tomorrow onward," Charles briefly explained to David.

Being his confidant, Charles felt that he should tell David the truth.
