The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 685

Holley was not stupid enough to believe that Sula was just showing her gratitude. So, she held Geroge's arm, to make sure that her relationship with him was clear enough and to remind Sula of her place, that is, as an outsider. "It's my pleasure. George is my boyfriend and I also didn't expect things to turn out this way. I don't want anyone to be displeased because of me," she said.

The atmosphere around them suddenly turned less intense. When Holley was thinking about what to say next, her phone rang. Leila was calling. Holley frowned and excused herself,"Excuse me for a moment, I just need to pick up this call. It might be some business issues in my company."

"Go ahead." Donna waved her hand. It was a relief for her if Holley would not be around even just for a little while since she would be much more comfortable without her.

Holley was already gone but Sula was still staring at the direction where she went. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, she said to Donna,"Aunt Donna, please excuse me. I just need to go to the bathroom."

"Sure," Donna immediately answered without even doubting why Sula would suddenly want to leave right after Holley went out. When only Donna and George were left at the table, Donna pointed at some dishes to him and urged him to eat more. "The food in this restaurant is very delicious. You should enjoy eating more."

"Yes, it is, Mom." George laughed heartily. "It took so long for Holley to find this restaurant. You know, she really exerted some efforts in finding the best restaurant to please you. And since you liked it, we can come here more often for dinner."

"That would be great." Donna smiled as she nodded her head. "Though I have tried a few Chinese food, I still think that Korean food is the best."

Donna glimpsed at George while she was still eating. Then she curiously asked,"George, you've been here in Y City for quite a long time. Do you find anything uncomfortable living here?"

"Nothing at all," George replied eagerly. He couldn't understand why Donna asked such question and didn't get what she meant. "Actually, for me, Y City is a great place. I like it here so much. I enjoy the food here, too," he added.

"So, you have never thought of coming back to Korea?" Donna frowned at the thought of it. George had been to Y City for a long time with Holley and he never went back to Korea even once. So Donna had no other way but to ask him personally about it.

"Mom, I don't have any plans of going back at the moment," answered George calmly. "BM Corporation has just started. The market in China right now is very huge so I have a very high chance to succeed. Besides, Holley is here and I want to be with her."

"George, I think you misunderstood me," Donna said with a smile. "I didn't mean to break you apart."

"Then what do you mean?" George got confused.

"The thing is," Donna was trying to explain,"I'm getting older and I'm no longer as healthy as before. Our family business is so important for both of us. We need someone reliable to watch over it or it might be taken away by our greedy distant relatives."

"Besides, you've got Holley here in Y City. You can let her take charge of BM Corporation. Then, you can come back to Korea and help me. I believe Holley is capable of handling your business," Donna continued. She tried to be as persuasive as possible.

'As long as they are apart, their relationship will not be stable. My son will lose his interest in her very soon. If breaking them up would cost BM Corporation, it will be worthy to give the company to that bitch as a gift, ' Donna thought to herself.

George thought about Donna's suggestion for a long time. He couldn't help but frown. Eventually, he shook his head and said,"Let's talk about that some other time. As for now, I don't have any plans of going back to Korea."

Seeing that George was already frowning, Donna stopped persuading him.
