The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 58

"It is because of you that I want to work in Shining Company. I know I'm not as competent and good as your expectations. But trust me, I will work hard and I won't disappoint you, " said Yvonne.

"It isn't a big deal. And you don't have to come here next time if there is nothing important." Charles saw through Yvonne. He knew that she just wanted to get close to him with the excuse of thanking him for the job.

"I had to come here to thank you because I should be grateful to you for giving me a chance to work here." Yvonne also added, "Charles, I have given enough thought to this. To express my gratitude to you, I want to... invite you for a meal. Would you like to have a meal with me? You can eat whatever you like."

Charles didn't want to expose Yvonne's lies for the sake of Autumn. But now Yvonne was being even more unreasonable, which made him really want to unmask her real identity. He hesitated and didn't do that.

He tried to be patient and told Yvonne, "No, thanks. It is your sister who wants you to work here, so you should actually thank her instead of me."

"I just can't just thank her, " shouted Yvonne. She was going to take this opportunity to be alone with Charles. She thought that she would definitely attract him with her pretty and charming looks. And it had nothing to do with Autumn.

Noticing that Charles looked a bit confused, Yvonne realized that she had made an indiscreet remark. She immediately calmed herself down and said, "I mean although my sister had put in a good word for me, you are the one who made the decision. Thus, I have to thank you."

"Here's an idea." Charles mocked a smile. He detested Yvonne very much. "Your sister has come here for work today. You can go to tell her about this. If she is willing to go with us, you can book a table; if she says no, I won't go either. We are family members now and we should have meals together."

"What?" Yvonne frowned and said to Charles, "She also works here?"

"Yes. Is there anything wrong?" Charles looked confused and nodded.

"No... nothing." Yvonne was very furious, but she still pretended to stay calm, as if nothing had happened. She smiled and said, "Charles, where is... my sister right now?"

"She is at the Secretary Department. You can see her if you open the door and step out, " said Charles flatly.

Yvonne pulled a long face the moment she heard the words 'Secretary Department'. She still held back her dissatisfaction and anger. She said to Charles, "It's settled then. I go out and look for her now."

Yvonne turned around and left. Charles gave a sly smile, watching her walking out of his office.

Yvonne was very furious when she came out of his office. She turned her head and saw the words 'Secretary Department' on a door. She laughed sarcastically and rushed inside. She went and angrily stood in front of Autumn.

Autumn was reading the company's pamphlet. When she felt that someone stood in front her, she looked up. She slightly frowned at the sight of Yvonne. "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Yvonne sneered and added, "You are so shameless. You just broke up with your first boyfriend, and now you even dare to come here."

"Shut up." Autumn frowned, grasped Yvonne's wrist and said, "If you have something to tell me, let's go out and have a talk."

"Why do we have to go out to talk?" Yvonne broke away from Autumn's grip and said, "Do you fear that you would be disgraced? You shouldn't do such disgusting things. I tell you, Charles..."

"Just shut up!", shouted Autumn. When Yvonne mentioned Charles, Jenny and Linda suddenly raised their heads and stared at both of them.
