The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 617

Alice stared at David in a way as if she wanted to tear him apart. She was on the verge of losing her temper and had a good mind to knock him down for what he had done. However, she refrained herself and asked,"Why didn't you discuss with me about it?"

"I..." David stammered staring at Alice's eyes that had gone red with anger. He quickly lowered his head and answered,"I thought that all girls may like flowers. So..."

Alice stopped him in between and charged again,"How do you know what you thought is right? Why are you so confident with yourself?" David noticed that Alice was literally trembling in anger as she spoke.

"Forgive me, darling. I know what I did was wrong," David pleaded. "Now?" She blurted. Then she shook her hands and said,"Just keep me out of this.

You should deal with it all by yourself!" Then she added,"Why did you have to tell this to me now?"

"I... I screwed it up. I really don't know how to handle it now," David said with a helpless look on his face.

"Now you should go to Mr. Lu's office and tell him about it. Remember, make sure you sound earnest so that Mr. Lu may have some mercy on you." By this time Alice had regained her composure as she advised David in a very calm tone.

Looking at the calm expression on her face, David flared up. He frowned and asked,"Darling, do you want me to die? If Mr. Lu came to know that I made such a stupid mistake, he would not spare my life!"

"Huh!" Alice shrugged her shoulders and sneered at him once again,"You seem to know your fate already." Then she lowered her voice and added,"If you don't admit your mistake to Mr. Lu honestly, he will not spare you either. Rather, he will punish you with a more torturous method. So speaking it out frankly and accepting your guilt is the best way out.

You know how important Mrs. Lu is for Mr. Lu. What if Mrs. Lu misunderstands her husband after what you just did?" Alice pushed David to move and said,"That is exactly the reason why you should admit to Mr. Lu. Maybe you can get his forgiveness before it causes severe aftermath."

David became a little thoughtful as he listened to Alice and then walked towards Charles' office. He stood at the door and closed his eyes as if he were saying a prayer. He gathered all courage before knocking.

"Come in!" Charles had his head buried in the laptop. He glanced over a few papers from a file kept in front of him. He looked up at David and motioned him to come in. "Have you connected the clothing factory?" he asked.

"Yes, I have," David spoke in a timid voice. David did a good job on his work and Charles trusted his ability.

However, it was too hard for David to court Sheryl for Charles.

"So what brought you here?" Charles asked in confusion.

"I..." David had his head lowered as he hesitated to speak. He cast a glance at Charles, hesitated for a long while and finally stammered,"Mr. Lu, I... I came for... something that concerns Mrs. Lu."

"Sheryl?" Charles put his pen aside and asked with a frown on his face,"What happened to her?"

"She... She is alright." David was in a panic as he saw Charles frown. He added immediately,"Mr. Lu, you asked me to help you court Mrs. Lu, right? So I bought her a bunch of flowers and signed your name."

"And then?" Charles had predicted something wrong would happen.
