The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 47

On hearing what Autumn said, Paula tried hard to suppress her impulse to smash her face into pieces. But she had to hold it back, even though Autumn's words had pissed her off.

"What do you want me to do in exchange for your help?" Paula asked Autumn.

Autumn didn't say anything. To be honest, she was determined to ignore whatever happened to Cloud now. After all, even if she did a great job, she could still get nothing out if it. Why bother then?

"Ye, I'm sorry for what I've done to you in the past. I would like to extend my apologies to you. I really have no idea how to deal with the problem now. Please help us out." Paula was rarely courteous to her. Accountant Li also tried to persuade Autumn. "Ye, you are a generous girl, please accept Paula's apologies. You are colleagues. You've fought together. Moreover, Mr. Zhou has always treated you well. You should lend a hand."

Paula had done Accountant Li a favor before, so it was reasonable for him to say a word or two for Paula.

But Autumn felt disgusted.

A famous talk show host once said,"I hate it that some people persuade others to be generous, even though they don't know the whole story. Keep away from such hypocrites. Be careful not to get hurt when they are being struck by lightning."

To be honest, you don't have to listen to them or try to be generous at all. These hypocrites only think of themselves to be good. And if we let go of these despicable ones, who the hypocrites thought to be innocent, we would be indulging immoral behaviors.

"What if I refuse to help?" Autumn sneered. Then Ryan interrupted from outside.

He had been waiting in his office. But he couldn't wait any longer since Autumn didn't come to his office. So he came here.

In order to save the big client, he was ready to do anything. Compared to the opportunies Shining could give Cloud in the future, his self-esteem was nothing at all.

"Are you so cold-hearted?" Ryan asked, staring at her.

Paula rushed to him the moment she saw him. "Mr. Zhou, you just heard it all. No matter how hard I tried to convince her, she just didn't seem to budge. I..."

"Cut the crap!" Ryan shouted at her. "If you hadn't sown discord between us, things wouldn't have ended like this..."

"I..." Paula cast an awkward glance at Ryan. She didn't expect the predicament too.

"Mr. Zhou." Autumn stood in front of him, with sheer elegance and peace.

"Ye, we have been great partners all these years. I have always trusted you. We both didn't know this would happen. Now our company is in trouble, so I think... I'd better have you as my planning director. I will double your previous salary. Please help me?" Ryan begged Autumn.

Though this project was not very profitable anymore, Cloud made a huge profile owing to it. There could be more and more orders. But if they lost this project, then it might get hard to run the business.

Who would be willing to cooperate with a company that Shining disliked?

"No! Mr. Zhou!" Paula got upset. She couldn't give up the position she had long been dreaming of. "I have just been promoted to the planning director. How can you..."

"Shut your damn mouth up!" Ryan sneered. "Paula, you really brought a lot of harm to me. I am telling you, if the problem with Shining is left unsolved, then you are fired!"

Autumn frowned. She now clearly understood what type of person Ryan was.

She resigned not just because of Paula. The most important reason for her resignation was that Ryan didn't trust her.
