The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 583

"No. It's not like that." George sighed and thought that he'd better change the topic. He could talk about anything to Holley but this one. She would totally become a different person when someone tried to talk about Sheryl with her. George decided not to risk saying anything. Instead, he put his arm over her shoulder and smiled. "Forget it. I was just wondering why you'd agreed with her request to sign just a one-year contract," he tried to explain.

Holley turned to him and sneered,"One year is enough." Her eyes showed a sudden hint of rage.

"George, could you please leave the modeling company for me to handle?" she added.

Unable to resist her coquetry, George immediately agreed. But he still warned her,"Look, let's make this clear. You can do whatever you want to take revenge on Sheryl. However, if you cause losses to the company, I'll have to find someone else to replace you."

"Deal!" Holley replied firmly.

Sheryl soon arrived her room. When she was about to enter, she heard some voices. They seemed to be talking and laughing. She knew it was Anthony who came and played with Shirley.

She opened the door and greeted them,"Morning."

Anthony smiled and replied,"Morning, too. Come and have breakfast. I brought the famous pancakes here in Y City. "

Sheryl knew what pancakes he was referring to. She saw a lot of people waiting in a long queue to buy those pancakes at that shop before. But she hadn't tried it yet. She then took a small bite to check how it tasted. After taking that small bite, she realized she didn't like it that much. So she didn't eat more and instead, drank a glass of soy milk.

Suddenly, Sheryl heard Shirley asking Anthony to take her out. Anthony agreed but Sheryl interfered and immediately said no.

Anthony paused and turned to her. He asked,"Why not?" Sheryl looked at him and explained,"You knew that I've already signed the contract with BM Corporation, right? So that means I need to move in to the apartment they have arranged for me. I will be moving there tonight." Anthony nodded to show his understanding and sat beside the table. He then opened Sheryl's contract to take a look at it.

He carefully looked through the contract. Fortunately, he didn't find anything wrong so he felt satisfied and relieved.

"I think it's a good idea to sign an annual contract. In this case, you can quit anytime if something comes up," he commented. Sheryl smiled and looked at him. She was pleased to hear Anthony agreed to her decision.

Actually she was really grateful to him. He had helped her a lot and would always remind her if there were things she would forget.

Anthony paused a bit. He seemed hesitant to continue. Eventually, he said,"Sher..." He paused for a while before he continued,"I've booked a flight to US tonight. Since you've already decided to stay here, I have to deal with some stuff in the US. Also, let me just deal with the landlord about your moving out here. Leave everything to me. I'll just send all your belongings to your new apartment later, okay?"

"I can go with you," Sheryl offered. She knew that Anthony would always be there for her and would always help her in everything but she didn't want to cause too much trouble for him. She didn't want to give him so much burden so she tried not to rely on him too much.

"No, you don't have to," Anthony quickly answered while shaking his head. The truth was that Anthony was hiding something from her. Sheryl was not aware that the reason why she could rent that apartment for a very low price was because Anthony had already bought it. So Anthony couldn't go with Sheryl because he wanted to sell the apartment without her knowledge.

But he also didn't want to upset her so he thought of some reasons to convince Sheryl to stay.

"I remember you told me that you are planning to have a close look at Shirley's school, right?" That idea flashed into his mind so he immediately voiced it out. "You should do it when you still have some time these days because you'll be busy soon," he added trying to sound more convincing. To his relief, Sheryl nodded in agreement, Since Sheryl decided to move in to the new apartment tonight, Anthony helped her to pack some stuff and sent her and Shirley to the new apartment. He then said goodbye to both of them after he made sure that they were all settled.

Sheryl took Shirley's hand and turned to Anthony. "So when will you come back?" she asked.

Anthony couldn't help but tease her,"Why are you asking?" A playful smile hung on his lips. "You don't want me to leave, do you?" He added. Sheryl knew that he was just teasing her so she also pretended to be annoyed and said,"Enough of your nonsense, Anthony! Who cares if you leave or not!"

Anthony couldn't help laughing. This was exactly the reason why he loved her so much. She was shy but tough, which attracted him most.

Anthony pushed Sheryl and said,"It won't be too long this time. Maybe ten days... or a month at most. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible." He couldn't contain the happiness he felt inside because of Sheryl's simple yet sweet gesture. He would be traveling with a light heart this time. He bid them goodbye again,"Just take care of yourself. I gotta go. Go up and find your room. Lock the doors once you're in, okay? Bye for now."

Anthony was actually worried leaving Sheryl alone. She was a delicate woman and had a daughter to take care of. Most of all, there was Charles. He felt that the greatest danger came with Charles.

A lot of things could happen in just half a month.
