The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2052

"The bar belongs to one of our partners," Sheryl told Damian. He seemed sullen at the moment.

"Ah, I hope I am paranoid, and there's nothing to worry about," Damian replied with a voice loaded with concern.

"Yes! You are paranoid and overthinking even a trivial thing. Hey! Won't you give me a ride?" Sheryl walked right ahead as she rolled her eyes at Damian.

"I'll certainly give you a ride. Just give me a minute," Damian spoke falteringly and was hesitant to look Sheryl in the eyes.

An hour later, Sheryl and Damian arrived right in front of Isla's bar.

Surprisingly, Sheryl seldom visited this bar. But, this time, Isla had set a private banquet and had specifically invited Sheryl to it to have some company along.

At the bar entrance

Damian was very eager to go into the bar with Sheryl. Yet, Sheryl gave him a blunt refusal.

"I'll go inside on my own. You can leave now. Thanks for the ride! Bye-bye!" Sheryl was reluctant to have Damian's company along at this moment and in this place particularly.

Damian stood staring at Sheryl, mouth agape with incredulity, smothering the retort that rose to his lips.

Sheryl hurriedly stepped inside the bar as Damian looked at her with envious eyes while she walked away. Seconds later, Damian hopped in his car as he waited for Sheryl to return.

In the bar, Isla joyfully greeted Sheryl upon seeing her and gave her a warm welcome.

"It's so considerate of you to show up here. We were going to begin without you. You should have been here ten minutes ago. Well, thank God, you're finally here!" Isla muttered, putting on a feeble facade.

"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me that my sole mission is to add on to the crowd here?" Sheryl was baffled by Isla's words and questioned her with bewilderment.

"That's correct." Isla nodded desperately in agreement as she hauled Sheryl along with her into a karaoke lounge.

"My intuition can sense something fishy going on, Isla. Tell me the truth, or else I'll leave this place right away and won't come back at all," Sheryl growled and pretended to be offended. She shook Isla's hand off her arm viciously out of rage.

"There is nothing fishy going on here, Sheryl. Aron and his best friends have just returned from abroad, and you know, Aron has invited several stunning beauties to this party. I just invited you to psych out those beauties and help me out. All you need to do is just cow them down with your intoxicating eyes and unrelenting words. Please! Sher, I need your support."

When Isla ended her long tale, Sheryl finally snapped out of her trance. She felt miserable, realizing she was being treated as cannon fodder.

"I'm your close friend, Isla. How could you have the heart to use me as cannon fodder?" Sheryl asked with utter dismay as she shook an angry finger at Isla.

"Are you blaming me?" Isla flickered and played the victim card herself.

"Fine, fine. You win. Cheer up now! So long as what you do is right, I'll go along with you. Just tell me which woman you cannot bear the sight of? I'll teach this woman a lesson and knock some sense into her," Sheryl spoke a few words of comfort to Isla. As Isla's best friend, Sheryl knew Isla very well, through and through.

Sheryl figured that Isla must have noticed Aron being seduced by a foolish, yet, a beguiling woman around him. Otherwise, how could Isla have generated such an intention?

"You always know what's going on in my mind," Isla cheered vociferously. At that moment, she wasn't able to contain herself and hugged Sheryl tightly with joy and involuntarily kissed her face. It was evident, Isla was glad that Sheryl had her back.

"Step back Isla. People will think you are a lesbian," Sheryl said as she turned up the whites of her eyes and pushed Isla away. Then they merrily stepped inside the karaoke lounge together.

Isla had already told Sheryl who the stupid woman was. So Sheryl headed straight towards her upon entering the karaoke lounge.

Sheryl noticed that this lady was sitting directly opposite to Aron. 'People will think you two are husband and wife!' Sheryl mused, and she got in a blind rage as her blood boiled with fury.

"You're finally here! Welcome back, Aron," Sheryl greeted Aron with a nod of the head. Then she sat by Aron's side, deliberately obstructing the seductive woman's view.
