The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1992

Melissa didn't think too much. She was just trying to warm up to Sheryl.

She walked out of Sheryl's office and followed the secretary, who escorted her around the office.

The secretary cordially led Melissa around and carefully introduced the structure of Cloud Advertising Company, but Melissa didn't seem to be much interested in what she said. Her mind was preoccupied with some other thoughts. After a while, seeing that the secretary talked endlessly, Melissa interrupted her. "Do you know who has sent the flowers to Sheryl?"

Stopping abruptly, the secretary stared at Melissa. Then she shook her head in an instant.

"You know who, right? Just tell me. I want to know if there is somebody who is pursuing Sheryl. After all, even though she has divorced Charles, I am still concerned about her well-being. I hope that she will live happily..." Trying to prevent the secretary from reading too much in between the lines, Melissa quickly explained to her.

The look on the secretary's face was self-explanatory. Melissa could tell that she was hiding something. She must know something that could be of use for Melissa.

"Mrs. Lu, I can tell you. But please don't tell anybody else." Then the secretary lowered her voice and told Melissa in a hushed voice, "It is Jackson, the person in charge of Leon Company..."

"Leon Company?"

Melissa mumbled to herself for a moment, and then her face lit up all of a sudden as if she had hit upon with an idea. She turned to the secretary and said, "Okay, I have to go now. You go back to your job. Thanks for the information."

The secretary was left baffled to find Melissa running away in such a hurry.

After leaving Cloud Advertising Company, Melissa had a feeling of loss. She felt bad that Sheryl was being pursued by another man, yet she was glad to learn about Jackson. Although she hadn't worked for a long time, she knew very well about Leon Group. It appeared that Jackson was the new president, and her son had a powerful opponent now.

The moment, the secretary thought Melissa had left for good and planned to report about it to Sheryl, Melissa returned almost unexpectedly.

"Mrs. Lu, what makes you come back?" The secretary was puzzled to see Melissa rushing into the office all over again.

"Nothing much, my dear. I just wanted to say goodbye to Sher before leaving. You don't need to report to her." Melissa smiled at the secretary and then walked straight to Sheryl's office.

Sheryl heard the knock on the door and, without raising her head, she said, "Come in."

"Sher, it's getting late now. I have to go back home," Melissa said as soon as she entered Sheryl's office.

"Oh, okay. Shall I tell the driver to drive you back?" Sheryl stood up and looked at Melissa.

Melissa shook her head. Then, without giving Sheryl the chance to say anything, she just grabbed her handbag and left.

This time, Melissa went away for good and didn't come back.

Sheryl heaved a sigh with relief.

Phoebe pushed the door open of Sheryl's office and shared a laugh, saying, "Ms. Xia, Mrs. Lu has left. You don't need to pretend to be busy anymore."

Hearing Phoebe's remark, Sheryl pretended to be angry. She rolled her eyes and glared at her.

"You seem to be too free these days! Wait. I will ask Isla to depute you to hold dinner meetings with the clients…" Sheryl's pretense of being angry was short-lived because right after she finished her words, she broke into a burst of hearty laughter as well.

"Ms. Xia, you can't do this to me," Phoebe said, looking at Sheryl indulgently, like a spoiled child.

Both Phoebe and Sheryl were clear that Melissa's arrival was not by chance. It couldn't be that nobody was at home, and she was free to drop by, but she had something on her mind that Sheryl and Phoebe were not aware of. Hence, they didn't know what to say.

"Fine, spoiled girl. You always make fun of me. Anybody who doesn't know the truth might think that you are my boss." Sheryl didn't rebuke Phoebe for disrespecting her, yet she just frightened her.

"Ms. Xia, I have been working with you for so many years. Don't you think I know you well enough?" Phoebe was not scared at all but shrugged, showing that she didn't care.

However, instead of being annoyed, Sheryl was amused by Phoebe's reaction. She shook her head helplessly. "I can't hide anything from you, right? Okay, stay for a treat at the afternoon tea with all the colleagues."

"Yes. Thank you, Ms. Xia." Phoebe got excited and bowed to Sheryl before leaving the room.
