The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 677

Sue looked into the restaurant through the window. She saw Sheryl and Charles sitting face to face. Sue felt like an idiot when she saw Sheryl smile to Charles.

She thought it was ridiculous of her to bring lunch for Sheryl because Sheryl didn't need her care at all.

'Sheryl will feel satiated on Charles' love itself. She doesn't need my concern or my food, ' Sue thought.

She gave a bitter laugh and threw the food packed for Sheryl into the dustbin in anger and frustration.

'From now on, I will never worry about her. Otherwise, I will be left feeling foolish!' Sue said to herself.

Sheryl, on her part, didn't have an inkling of Sue's bitterness. When she was seated with Charles, he didn't try to get close to her like before. Instead, he maintained a proper distance from her and made her feel relaxed and comfortable. He kept her amused with the things that had transpired in their past. It was his way to keep Sheryl happy as well as gauge her reaction.

Sheryl couldn't help laughing while making small talk with Charles. When she returned to the company, she was late by one hour.

Charles offered to escort her back to the rehearsal room to ease things for her. She refused his help. "I know you want to help me. But it is my own fault that I am late. Whatever punishment I receive, I will cheerfully accept."

Sheryl smiled and added,"If you go with me, they will only gossip further and I will make more enemies there."

She looked at Charles and stammered,"I'm... I'm very happy today to see the change in you. I like the different Charles."

Charles felt very happy on hearing that. He stared at Sheryl and said,"I will have lunch with you every day that you are working in my company, okay?"

Sheryl was surprised initially. But then she thought it wasn't a big deal if she just had lunch with Charles. She agreed. "See you tomorrow!" she replied with a happy smile.

Charles felt very pleased as he saw Sheryl's smiling face. His confidence in himself and his tactics grew.

But he was still worried about Sheryl so he secretly slipped into the rehearsal room. He stood hidden in a corner so nobody noticed him.

As Sheryl entered the room, a model named Kitty immediately began scolding her loudly. "Why have you come so late, Sheryl? We have been working for an hour now. Did you purposely delay to escape work?" Kitty asked her.

Sheryl didn't bother to answer her. She put on her heels and got ready to practice her catwalk on the stage. But Kitty was in no mood to let go of her. She blocked Sheryl and asked,"Sheryl, was your lunch so delicious that you lingered over every bite? You looked so happy eating with Mr. Lu. Were you seducing him?"

"Get out of my way!" Sheryl commanded her. She was annoyed with Kitty's accusation. She didn't want to have any conflict with the others, but this did not mean that she would quietly bear their unjust accusations.

"Of course. All of us should give way to you." Kitty sneered and said,"You are so good at seducing men. I think you might become Mrs. Lu one day. And we will work for you then."

Another model also looked at Sheryl with contemptuous eyes and said,"I really don't understand why she is so attractive to these kind of men. She already has a handsome and ideal boyfriend, but she is not satisfied with that. So now she begins to seduce Mr. Lu and flirts openly with him."

Kitty asked in a sarcastic tone,"Sheryl, can you reveal your tricks to us also? You have two men so obsessed with you."
