The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 824

Roger developed no liking toward Helin, despite the fact that she had brought him many pleasant opportunities in his career.

He was thoroughly upset with Heron threatening him to walk out of his daughter's life because of his underprivileged social status. It hurt his feelings and his dignity, indeed.

'What justifies Heron's superiority over me? How could he talk to me like that!'

Roger thought defiantly.

Although Heron threatened to ruin his career, he decided to turn the table around.

Roger's face had turned grim and he was unusually silent, which scared Helin. She stood by his side for quite some time waiting for him to say something. Then she broke the silence and said, "Roger, what are you thinking of? Do not fall into silence!" Still Roger remained motionless. Helin became impatient. She touched Roger's hand and asked eagerly, "What happened to you? Is it due to my Dad's inappropriate remarks?"

"Helin...." Roger frowned and shrugged off Helin's hand. Then he pretended to talk to Helin in a very grave voice without making eye contact with her, "I think... we had better keep a distance among each other."

"Why?" Helin was initially taken aback by his words. Then she lowered her eyes feeling embarrassed and guilty of her father's behavior and added, "I had planned to introduce you into starring the hot series as a birthday gift to you, least expecting..."

What Helin least expected was Heron's denial of her proposal. She could not figure out why her father had dismissed Roger who was a leading actor of Auspice Film Company.

"Roger, I am fully aware of your eagerness to distinguish yourself and cherish our time spent together, but..." Helin forced a smile and continued apologetically, "I am absolutely confused about my Dad's rough dismissal of you. I am sure there must be some misunderstanding. But you relax. I will try my best to facilitate your starring career!"

Helin touched Roger's hands once again, seized with a deep fear that Roger would break off with her. She could feel her hands turning cold and trembling as she touched Roger's hands.

Roger forced a wry smile and broke free of Helin's hands. Her heart skipped a beat. She tried to pull herself together and added, "Roger, please do not get annoyed with me. I promise to give you whatever you want as a compensation."

"Helin, I am not at all angry or annoyed with you. But... it would benefit us both if we maintain a distance," Roger replied in a very calm and gentle voice.

Helin was a little surprised and stared at Roger with disbelief. How could he even speak about getting distanced from her so easily? She added in a stubborn tone, "I do not see any point of distancing myself from you."

Suddenly, Helin's thought turned to Sheryl. She turned towards Roger and asked eagerly, "Are you infatuated with that model?"
