The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2030

"Have you done anything wrong? Why are you lowering your head as if you were guilty?" Charles asked frowning.

"No, no. Mr. Lu, not at all." David hesitated to tell Charles what was really going on.

Charles thought David was acting strange. He knew that David was a decisive and honest man. But what was he hesitating to tell him now?

"All right, David. You can go back to work now." Charles didn't have time to figure out what David was hiding, so he sent him away instead.

Charles was about to leave the office and go home when he got a call from Vicky.

Of course, he wasn't going to answer his phone because he could see Vicky's number. But that woman sneakily found out the number to his office, and she had called many times.

Charles' office phone rang. Without looking at the number or thinking it would be Vicky, he answered it.

"Charles, why haven't you been answering my phone calls? I have been calling for a while now."

Hearing Vicky's voice dripping in sweetness, Charles couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"What's up?" Charles didn't want to talk long with Vicky and got right to the point.

Vicky was offended by his brusqueness, but she pretended to be happy. She wanted it to seem that nothing would affect her good mood and that she was impenetrable.

"Charles, could you come over and have dinner with me? We haven't spent a lot of time together recently." Vicky's voice and eyes were filled with hope, longing, and expectation.

Charles opened his mouth and was about to refuse her. Then he suddenly thought about something and said, "All right. I'll come over when I finish work."

"Sounds great! I'll be waiting for you." Vicky hung up excitedly.

Charles looked at his phone and became lost in his thoughts.

In fact, he really didn't want to see Vicky, but then he had thought about what David had told him concerning Vicky. How she went out of villa discreetly, and he wanted to ask her cautiously to figure out what was going on.

After Charles finished work, he asked David to drive him to Vicky's place. However, David felt uncomfortable at this request.

"All right. I'll get another driver to take me there. You can go back to your work." Charles knew that David didn't want to see Vicky, so he didn't want to force him.

"Mr. Lu, are you going to..."

"So! Now you're asking me? Well? You don't have to guess anymore. I want to know what Vicky has been up to. So far, your investigation hasn't given me any clear-cut answers." Charles was worried because David's investigation was not going very well.

"Mr. Lu, do you think that I am useless?" David felt guilty and looked at Charles.

"It depends. Can you go and find Isla and get the video?" Charles asked David before he got into the car. He then left immediately.

David watched Charles drive away, becoming immersed in his thoughts. It was very difficult for him to get the video.

At that time, Charles was silent all the way to Vicky's villa. It took him only a few minutes to arrive.

When Charles got to the villa, he didn't see Stella, which was strange. He didn't know whether to knock on the door and wait or go in directly.

He decided to knock on the door, but no one answered. He opened the door and didn't see Vicky, either. He didn't know what was going on.

"Charles, is that you?" Vicky asked. It seemed she was in the kitchen.

Charles frowned and didn't reply. He just waited in the living room.

After a while, Vicky came out of the kitchen, saying shyly, "Hey, when did you get here?"

"Where is Stella?" Charles ignored her question and directly asked.

"I wanted to make dinner for you, so I let Stella have a rest. Wait for a moment. I will finish it soon." Vicky looked at Charles with a smile.
