The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 902

Sheryl was stunned at Cary's words. "You know Charles?"

"Yes," Cary affirmed. "We've been friends for a long time, and rivals for just as much. I even attended your wedding with him. You probably don't remember me, but I remember you."

He put on a smile that seemed meaningful and continued, "I've also heard that he found his missing wife, but I didn't get the chance to ask him about it."

Though Cary wasn't much of an expert in this area and didn't know exactly how long it would take to craft a plan, he did have a rough estimate of it.

Sheryl's promise was too good to be true. 'She's either over confident or… she's capable of finishing it so fast, ' Cary thought. 'I just hope that the latter is true.'

Though she was surprised to be recognized by Charles' friend, Sheryl didn't want to waste more time talking about her past and identity. She wanted to be recognized because of her own abilities, not just by the title of Charles' wife.

Sheryl was Sheryl, a powerful woman, definitely no subordinate to anyone else.

"Mr. Su." Sheryl switched the topic back to business. "If there's nothing more you want to add, I'll start my work now. Do remember to check your mailbox tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Cary nodded. "But I have to remind you. Though I have a close relationship with Charles, this doesn't mean that I will lower my standard for you. It's an important event for me and I'm determined to make it perfect. If your proposal fails to impress me, I'm sorry but I'll have no choice but to reject your plan."

"Rest assured, Mr. Su," Sheryl asserted firmly. "I don't want any special treatment from you either. This is my work and it has nothing to do with Charles."

"Good to hear that," he acknowledged with an approving nod.

After she excused herself, Sheryl left the office, and Isla, who had been waiting outside the door all the while, was anxious to know the outcome. "So Sher, how is it? Did he intentionally make it difficult for you?"

"No," Sherly answered. She put on a face full of determination and said, "Mr. Su likes our idea. Now we have to go back to rush working. Tomorrow morning is the deadline. Let's go, now!" She clapped her hands once in emphasis.

"Really?" Both Isla and Dillon were caught off guard by her answer.

Dillon knew better than anyone else how stringent his boss was, yet he accepted Sheryl's idea so easily. 'How incredible!' he thought. 'Sheryl must have some kind of magic powers of persuasion to have made it happen.' He was so excited that his troublesome work was coming to an end.

Isla was delighted to hear that Sheryl had convinced Cary to consider her plan. With all the pride and encouragement of a friend, she said, "I knew you could do it!"

As Isla stared into Sheryl's eyes that were brimming with determination and excitement, she saw Autumn, who was exactly as energetic and shiny as Sheryl in that moment. Isla was glad to see that her old friend was truly back.

Wearing a big grin, Isla turned to Dillon. "I guess we need to leave now, Dillon. If there's anything else you need, just give me a call."

"Okay, okay, okay…" He kept nodding. The wine party that he had been stressing over for so long was finally almost coming to an end. He heaved out a sigh with relief, as if a massive weight on his chest were suddenly lifted.

Anyone could see in Sheryl's demeanor that she was excited and eager to work. She wanted to head back to the company immediately, but Isla suggested otherwise. "Sheryl, it's meal time now. Let's find somewhere to eat first."

"No, please. The time frame is really tight. I can't wait anymore. I promised to finish by tomorrow morning. We should hurry to work," Sheryl declined.

"Sher, listen to me." Isla stopped her workaholic friend for a moment. "No matter how urgent it is, you have to eat first. Your health should be the priority. Moreover, you're not working alone. I'll assist you with the proposal every step of the way. We can do it together after eating."
