The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1791

Isla stared at Sheryl's phone screen. She couldn't believe someone would send Sheryl a message like this. She waited and waited, but nothing came. She decided to call the number, but it seemed as if it had already been shut down.

The more she looked at the message, the angrier she became.

She felt angry and upset for Sheryl. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for Sheryl to see those photos. She would be heartbroken.

Isla's heart tightened as she thought about it.

She decided that she was going to delete the photos and messages. She couldn't let Sheryl see them because she knew Sheryl would only get hurt.

Isla couldn't help but worry. She wondered who would do this to Sheryl. Who was it? Could it be Leila?

Still, she couldn't be sure.

She figured if it had been Leila, she wouldn't need to pretend to be someone else to mess with Sheryl. Leila would proudly do it from her own phone.

The more Isla thought about it, the more worried she became. As much as she wanted to get rid of all those photos, she didn't know how to stop them from just being resent.

She figured that since the person had included the time and location of the banquet, she might as well be there too, so she could find out what was going on.

After everything that had happened, it was time to settle this once and for all.

Isla then put down the phone and headed towards the door.

Just as Isla was about to open the door to leave, Sheryl walked in. She seemed surprised to see Isla in her office. She asked in confusion, "Isla, what are you doing in my office? Shouldn't you be in the West City?"

Isla panicked when Sheryl caught her, and she was afraid that Sheryl would find out she had deleted her messages. She was so anxious that she had forgotten why she came to Sheryl's office in the first place.

She paused, then answered bashfully, "Yeah, I just thought I'd come by and say goodbye before I left. Where have you been?"

"I went to the tea room. Do you want me to go with you?"

Sheryl walked to Isla as she asked.

Isla forced a smile and said to Sheryl, "No, I can handle it. I won't be staying long there anyway."

"That sounds great. Since I don't have much to do, I can go with you. We can go shopping afterward when you're done,"

Sheryl said and grabbed her purse, ready to leave with Isla.

"I can't today, Sheryl. When I'm done at West City, I have several other things to do. Bye!"

Isla said quickly. She left before Sheryl could even respond, and Sheryl was puzzled.

As Sheryl stood in her now-empty office, she couldn't help but wonder if Isla was hiding something from her. She was acting so strange. Sheryl also found it hard to believe that Isla would decline her invitation to go shopping when Isla was such a shopaholic!

When Isla left Sheryl's office, she walked to Phoebe's desk.

Phoebe seemed to be busy with something. When she saw Isla walking toward her looking rather anxious, she stood up and asked, "President Zhao, what happened?"

"Any mail Sheryl gets in the next few days should go through me first. You can't give it to her before I check it, okay?" Isla said, lowering her voice. She looked around to see if someone could hear her.

Even though Phoebe didn't know why Isla was asking her to do this, she just nodded her head in agreement.
