The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 607

It was the time for the big announcement and the entire crew was anxious about it. Holley knew what bothered her staff the most. She smiled as she addressed the staff and said,"As you know, we have decided to provide you a better platform and better working conditions. Besides, since our company will do business with each big film corporation, if anyone wants to make career change, we can offer a hand."

Holley's words assured everyone except for Sheryl. She could sense something wrong but she couldn't tell exactly what it was.

Holley waited for a while watching the reaction of the staff. Then she smiled and continued,"I'm an easy going woman. I'm more of a friend to you than your superior or your boss. I will protect you no matter what. You can be assured that you can come to me for anything whenever you want. I will always be easy to speak with. But there's only one thing I'd like to remind you..."

Suddenly the smile disappeared into a grave expression on her face as she sneered and continued,"I hope that the one who is cultivated by me will be well behaved. If she doesn't, I will definitely make her regret for her entire life. Don't blame me for that."

As Holley spoke, she cast a subtle glance at Sheryl as if the words she said were intentionally aimed at Sheryl. Sheryl stood there with her head lowered as if even she could very well understand that Holley's speech was directed towards her. From the corner of her eyes she could see Holley glancing upon her which made her quiver. She had this weird uncanny feeling which stopped her from feeling secured unlike her other colleagues.

Some brown-noser immediately declared her determination. "Miss Ye, please be assured. We will be well behaved."

Holley laughed as her face changed once again into a satisfied and benevolent look. "That's all I want to say. All in all, I wish we could get along with each other in the following days."

After Holley took her seat, George stood up and smiled as he addressed the staff,"I think it is clear by now that this department will be under full charge of Miss Ye. I hope everyone will be get along with each other."

After the brief meeting ended, everyone surrounded Holley, licking her shoes. Sheryl stood at one corner as her mind remained preoccupied with her Shirley's ill health. She had no interest in taking part in such activities.

She stood there for a while and planned to leave secretly. But just then, Holley squeezed out from the group who surrounded her and walked to Sheryl. With a beaming face, she said,"Sheryl, we're going to have a bar party this evening. It's my treat. How about joining us tonight?"

"Well, I'm afraid you have to count me out." Sheryl declined the invitation politely. Holley's face changed instantly into a resentful expression which made Sheryl quivering. She removed her eyes from Holley's face and looked towards her sleeves to avoid eye contact. She didn't even like those social activities.

"Come on. Don't be such a spoil sport. We will be friends. It's good to hang out and communicate with each other. Don't stay at home all day long. Come out and have some fun with your colleagues. It will only help you to develop a better working relationship with them." Holley smiled and tried to convince Sheryl. "If you continue being alone, I'm afraid you will fall ill very soon."

"Please don't force me to come." Sheryl rejected Holley's suggestion with a smile trying to maintain her politeness. Even if Shirley wasn't ill, Sheryl wouldn't have taken part in such activities.

"Come on in. Join us, please?" Holley came closer as she pulled Sheryl's hands and spoke to her in an intimate voice.

Holley's intimate voice made Sheryl sick. It made her feel like a fish out of water. She pulled her hands off pleading,"Miss Ye, I really can't go. I..." But before Sheryl finished their conversation, she was cut through by another voice.

"Miss Ye, she gave her answer already. We don't have to show warm feelings to meet her cold rebuke." Both Holley and Sheryl turned around to see where the voice came from. The statement came from one of the models named Kiki.

Kiki disliked Sheryl since the time she met her. She could not comprehend the reason behind Sheryl being the highest paid model of them all. Sheryl was neither the prettiest, nor the tallest and certainly not the most professional model. Since Sheryl was not the best in any aspect, how came she was so much favored by George and Holley? Kiki felt it unjustified and unfair!
