The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 84

"Good evening." Charles greeted Yvonne indifferently, "You look beautiful."

It was just social etiquette for Charles, but Yvonne got it all wrong. 'I knew Charles is fond of me. After all, I'm such a beauty!' She thought in her head.

Blushing, Yvonne nodded her head and smiled. 'Autumn Ye is a real eyesore!' she thought to herself. She pondered hard for a moment before she held Autumn's arm intimately and said, "Charles, please have a seat and read the menu. We need to use the restroom."

After finishing her sentence, Yvonne forced Autumn to come with her to the restroom. As soon as Charles disappeared from their sight, Yvonne's tone of voice changed. She said, "I told you to ask Charles to come over alone! You don't want to see your grandma, huh?"

"You are getting me wrong..." Autumn frowned, "I didn't want to come. But Charles was clear that he wouldn't come here if I didn't come along with him. I practically had no choice."

Autumn tried to make Yvonne understand and said, "Please calm down. I'll take another table. I won't bother you..."

"You better not!" Yvonne stared at Autumn in disdain and sneered, "If you dare do anything to destroy our date, I swear, you will never ever see your grandma again!"

Yvonne was about to leave after warning Autumn, but Autumn stopped her, "Yvonne, I know you detest me, and I will stay away from you today. But... Charles hasn't got his stitches removed yet. It is important to watch what he eats. He should avoid certain food items, such as shrimp.."

"Enough!" Yvonne shook off Autumn's hand discontentedly and said, "I will take care of Charles! Don't flatter yourself as the real Mrs. Lu! This is none of your concern!"

Yvonne walked out of the restroom. She sat down in front of Charles and asked in a soft voice, "Charles, have you ordered?"

"Not yet. You order the dishes." While handing Yvonne the menu, Charles looked back in search of Autumn. Yvonne smiled and asked, "Charles, are you looking for my sister?"

"Yes. I guess she went to the restroom with you. Why didn't she come back?" Charles asked in a cold voice.

"My sister was afraid that I might feel uncomfortable if she was around, so she took another table. Charles, I invited you to dinner to thank you for giving me the job." Yvonne asked with a friendly smile, "Would you like... a beefsteak?"

"Okay." Charles answered nonchalantly. He had no appetite left now that he had to eat alone with Yvonne. The dinner was just a formality for him. In reality, he wanted to find out Yvonne's intention.

"You don't have to thank me." Charles took a sip from the lemonade in front of him and continued. "You are Yvonne's sister. It is no big deal for me to give you this job. You didn't have to treat me with dinner for such a trivial matter."

Charles smiled and added, "Besides, we are a family now. Don't be so formal."

"Charles, I know you don't care about the formalities. I asked you out for dinner today because I admire you so much. You are handsome and have a successful career. You are being so nice to my sister. I wish I could also get married to someone like you!" Yvonne lowered her head shyly. She made an obscure statement, but Charles got her point.
