The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2019

An hour later, a meeting was being held at Charles' company. David thought that Charles would lose his temper in the meeting since he was in a bad mood now.

Meanwhile in the conference room, everyone was waiting for Charles to begin.

Charles finally arrived, and as soon as he sat down in the front, the meeting began. The leader of the department reported on the latest project and everything else followed suit just like a normal business meeting.

After they all had finished their reports, gone through all the updates, and were preparing to leave, Charles quickly stood up and suddenly threw down the documents on the conference room table.

"Do you all think that the Shining Company is so rich? Huh? What disgraceful reports!" Charles then just silently stared at them. Everyone felt so frightened.

They also felt ashamed. With these two emotions mixing within them, no one dared to raise their heads or speak up.

But these actions, or non-actions, caused Charles to feel even angrier.

"In three days, the leader of the Finance Department will recalculate all the fees of these projects during the first half of the year," Charles pointed out everything that he was not satisfied with.

Everyone nodded at once because they didn't and wouldn't dare to argue with Charles, the company President.

The meeting was scheduled to last for an hour, but it actually only lasted half an hour.

After Charles went out of the room, everyone felt more relaxed.

David followed Charles out of the venue and into his office.

"Mr. Lu, I put the documents on your desk." David found that Charles was acting out of his normal character, but he didn't dare to ask why. He was just going to leave the office after he put down the documents.

"All right, tell me, David. How is Sheryl doing? Is everything going well?" Charles looked at David with a serious expression.

All of a sudden, from the anger, that Charles had shown in the meeting room to the concern now displayed for Sheryl in his office, David was simply confused. He didn't answer immediately but finally replied, "Nothing to report at all. Just that Isla and Nick were making a plan."

"What? What are they doing exactly?" Charles' eyebrows furrowed. He had a bad feeling about this.

David thought for a while, but he finally decided on telling Charles the truth. "They are going to introduce Sheryl to some potential dating partners." David soon felt guilty for saying it out loud.

Although Charles said nothing, his face turned gloomy and sullen. His fingers repeatedly drummed on his desk.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay?" David knew that he shouldn't have told Charles the truth, but at the same time, he didn't want to lie to him.

"No problem. Don't worry about me. Go back to your work." Charles urged David to leave his office.

Once David left, Charles opened Wechat. He had not talked with Sheryl for a long time. The last time they did, their relationship had ended up in acrimony.

Charles hesitated for a long time, but he finally called Sheryl.

But at that moment, Sheryl was in a meeting. She didn't have time to see who was calling and rejected it.

Recently, Sheryl was busy with the new project of the Cloud Advertising Company. The project was not very difficult, but Sheryl was always a meticulous worker. She wanted to do it perfectly. Otherwise, she felt there would be many problems in the future.

When she finished work, three hours had passed. Sheryl stretched her arms and legs and told Phoebe to get her a cup of coffee. She took a sip of the coffee and finally remembered someone had called her before. She pulled out her phone and took a look.

When Sheryl saw the familiar name, she froze in shock.

Secretly, she thought about Charles almost every day. But she had not seen him for a long time. Now, she almost forgot what his face looked like!
