The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2044

It only clicked in Isla's head that she didn't come here to goof off when she saw the flowers on the table.

The bouquet Sheryl received yesterday was much bigger and prettier than the one in front of her, and Isla heard from Phoebe that someone picked Sheryl up last night.

There was no proof, but Isla felt that the bouquet in front of her eyes was sent by the same person from last night.

Sheryl shook her head before she answered Isla. She could never hide anything from her friend, so she said, "We're just friends, Isla."

"A friend? You're telling me that you and Damian are just friends?" Isla asked Sheryl in disbelief, her eyes widening with each word.

"How do you know Damian?" Sheryl blinked perplexedly at Isla because she didn't remember ever mentioning Damian to Isla.

"Tell me the truth. Who's this guy? What did he promise you to make you forget about Charles?" Isla grinned teasingly at Sheryl.

There was a light flush on Sheryl's cheeks because she was a little embarrassed by Isla's question, but she also knew that she had no choice but tell Isla the truth. There was no way Isla would stop bothering her until she got the answer she wanted.

In short order, Sheryl told Isla what happened between her and Damian the previous night.

Once Sheryl finished explaining, Isla nodded in satisfaction and said, "So… what do you think about him? How about dating him?"

"What are you talking about, Isla?! We're just friends! You're thinking too much."

"I'm thinking too much?" Isla squinted at Sheryl and asked flatly.

Sheryl rolled her eyes at Isla and raised her hands in surrender and said, "Fine, whatever you say is true. I'll do whatever you say. Are you happy now?"

"Promise?"

Isla pressed Sheryl before saying, "I think Damian is a good man. It won't hurt if you try hanging out with him…"

They had never even met, but Isla was already telling Sheryl how good Damian was. Sheryl wondered whether Damian had "bribed" Isla.

"Alright, Isla, that's enough. Go back to work." Sheryl prompted Isla to leave her office.

If it wasn't because she might be interrupting Sheryl's work, Isla wouldn't have left.

Once she was alone, Sheryl looked at the presents sent by Damian and got lost in her thoughts.

Each present was catered to suit Clark and Shirley's tastes, and Sheryl was sure that the kids would love them. The more she looked at the presents, the more upset she became, and she didn't know what she should do.

The moment Sheryl and Isla got off work and headed outside, Damian was already waiting for Sheryl.

Isla was the first to notice because he was so handsome that Isla couldn't help but lock her gaze on him.

The first thing Sheryl did was to try and hide as much as possible so that Damian wouldn't find her. She didn't want to make a big scene, especially with Isla besides her.

She ducked her head and stooped down behind Isla.

Isla waited until an awkward Sheryl managed to sneak out a side door before she approached Damian.

Damian had been waiting at the entrance for Sheryl since she got off work because he was afraid that he would interrupt Sheryl's work if he went up to her office.
