The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2037

Charles hadn't drunk this much in years. If he didn't stop now, it might take a toll on his health.

"Mr. Lu, you can't..." David didn't know how to stop him.

Mr. Xu didn't like that David was trying to stop Charles. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, don't listen to David. Let's just continue drinking."

Charles looked at David and said, "You can excuse yourself now."

"But... Mr. Lu..."

"Get out!" Charles said in a cold voice.

David had no choice but to leave.

He was worried about Charles. Even when he was obediently standing outside the private room, he made sure he was still watching Charles.

Mr. Xu was pleased when David left. He was aiming to get Charles drunk in an attempt to teach him a lesson.

Mr. Xu kept making Charles drink while he drank, too.

Meanwhile, David was restless as he helplessly stood just outside the private room.

He found Mr. Xu was being suspicious in refusing to discuss the project and for constantly getting Charles to drink. Mr. Lu was also acting strangely. He was suspicious of Mr. Xu too, but he still kept drinking.

Mr. Lu was a wise and calm man. Why would he do that? Maybe he was in a bad mood because of Sheryl.

David figured that he needed back up to help Mr. Lu.

He then hurriedly took his phone out and called Sheryl.

The phone rang and rang until Sheryl finally answered the call.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"It's me, David," David said hastily.

"Okay, what's up?" Sheryl asked coldly after a pause.

David ignored this as he told Sheryl about the situation. "Mr. Lu has been drinking so much. You know he has stomach issues. I'm worried that..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Sheryl said flatly.

"I just want..." David was a bit disappointed. He didn't expect this of Sheryl.

"Well, is there anything else you want to say?" Sheryl asked.

David didn't know what to say. He had expected that Sheryl would offer to come and help Charles, but it sounded like she was angry with Charles right now. So there was no chance of Sheryl coming here to help him out. Why wouldn't she care about Mr. Lu's health?

David was very disappointed. He had no choice but to hang up the call.

After this, David decided to sneak a peek into the private room and see what was going on. He only grew more worried by what he saw.

It looked like Charles was uncomfortable. David didn't know whether he was just drunk or if his stomach was aching. Mr. Xu asked, "Mr. Lu, are you okay? You've drunk quite a lot."

"I want to drink more..." Charles said as he stood up. His body shook, and his face turned red.

This pleased Mr. Xu. He pretended to assist Charles by holding his arm. His other hand had a glass of wine in it.

"Come on, Mr. Lu. Just drink this glass of wine, and I'll negotiate with you." Mr. Xu laughed out happily.

Charles raised his head and looked at him. He couldn't see him clearly because he was drunk.

Mr. Xu grew impatient as he tried to get Charles to drink the glass of wine.

"No, no. I can't drink anymore..." Charles let out a loud burp and suddenly sat down. He couldn't even sit straight.
