The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1798

A huge variety of international and local retail brand and duty-free outlets, cafés, restaurants lined up part of the Malaysian airport.

As soon as Sheryl stepped from the plane, her phone started ringing.

Looking at the caller ID, she saw a strange number. It even registered as a Malaysian number.

Feeling confused, she hesitated for a while but decided to answer after all.

"Hello, is this Ms. Sheryl Xia? I've come to pick you up." It was a man who immediately spoke when Sheryl answered the call.

Sheryl was stunned. The man on the other end of the line knew her name, so he must be somebody she was familiar with.

Finally, coming up with a thought, she felt relieved and smiled.

Isla must have sent this man to pick her up.

'When did Isla become so hardworking to even send somebody to pick me up from the airport?' Sheryl thought. It was surprising that Isla had done it, so Sheryl felt really pleased with her friend.

"Yes, I am. I'm at the entrance of the airport. Where are you?" Without overthinking, Sheryl responded and waited for him to pick her up.

In no time, a BMW drove by and parked in front of Sheryl.

"Are you Ms. Sheryl Xia?" A young man got out of the car and walked towards Sheryl, bowing politely.

Sheryl nodded and smiled. The young man opened the door for her, and she got inside the car.

After some questions, Sheryl learned that his name was Frank and that he was in charge of soliciting and taking tourists to and from the airport. Because he came from the same country as Sheryl, he always offered the best service and most competitive price to the customers from their country.

Seeing that he was hospitable, Sheryl decided to ask him some more details.

"Frank, do you know the ship, Twilight?" Since Sheryl had come, she would naturally go to the party, but she could only be successful if she knew what was in store for her. She didn't want to go there unprepared.

"Ms. Xia, are you attending the party on the ship? I hear that there is a grand gathering tonight, and all the wealthy people in Malaysia will join. What's more, many businessmen from our country also flew here to attend the party..." Frank told Sheryl everything he knew.

Hearing Frank's story, Sheryl now realized why Isla insisted on asking her to come. If she didn't take part in such a grand party, she would make their clients feel awkward.

"I see. Thanks, Frank. Can you take me to the hotel first? Please, wait for me in the lobby. I will get dressed and then head to the party," Sheryl said, smiling at Frank gracefully. Afterward, she turned away and looked out of the window.

It was not her first time to visit Malaysia, but something about this trip didn't seem right. Sheryl felt a huge storm coming. And although she didn't know why she had such a feeling, she knew that her sixth sense was always accurate.

Sheryl was unable to calm down as this thought continued to bother her.

Trying hard to concentrate on driving, Frank couldn't help but notice Sheryl's unusual expression. He took several quick glances of her in the rear-view mirror.

Although Sheryl was lost in thought, she still somehow felt that Frank's eyes were on her. Raising her head, she happened to meet his gaze when he peeped at her again.

Feeling awkward, Frank smiled and scratched his head. "Ms. Xia, are you okay?"

"Yes. How much further to the hotel?" Not wanting to answer Frank's question, Sheryl decided to change the subject.
