The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 908

It was Sheryl's decision to continue with BM Corporation for her last assignment. However it felt like some kind of a servitude. Her soul was somewhere else at Cloud Advertising Company. Nevertheless, she tried to fulfill her duties wholeheartedly. She woke up very early next morning, ate her breakfast and greeted Amy before she went out for work. But when she arrived at the company gate, she found that someone had arrived earlier than her.

"Miss Ye," Sheryl greeted Holley in a faint voice. Ever since Holley had threatened her with Sue, she could no longer hold Holley with respect. However, since she had to work here, it was unavoidable for Sheryl to greet her.

Holley looked at Sheryl and smiled. "Sher, you have also arrived so early," Holley replied her greeting as she took Sheryl's hand in a gentle confiding clasp. She said in an enthusiastic voice, "I thought it would need a long time for others to walk in. I never expected you to come to work so early. Thank God, now I can chat with you to kill time."

A glimmer of joy played on Holley's face as if there were nothing bad had happened between them.

Holley's pretense could not evade Sheryl's eyes. She maintained a diplomatic smile as she slipped her hand out of Holley's grip. She realized that Holley couldn't be underestimated. Holley's insidiousness made her frightened.

Sheryl replied maintaining the smile on her face, "This is my last assignment with this company. I am just trying to complete my work with my diligence."

She then stared at Holley and continued, "Miss Ye, I will resign from the company after completing this assignment. I hope you won't keep me from leaving."

Holley smiled wryly and replied, "Do you still blame me for what happened that day?" She stared at Sheryl with prying eyes.

"Why should I do that?" Sheryl held back her disgust, swallowed and answered in a calm voice. "You are the leader of this company. It is only reasonable for you to instruct me to do anything," Sheryl added looking back at Holley's eyes.

Holley narrowed her eyes to look earnest and said, "Sher, at that time I had no other choice. I hope you understand." Holley paused for a moment, heaved a sigh and continued, "Sheryl, you should know our company's situation now. We were running out of staff at the moment. Even Sue has taken a maternity leave. I had no choice but ask for your help."

Holley pretended to be guilty and added, "I know you blame me, but… I hope you can understand my concerns. It is nothing personal."

"Miss Ye, you are being oversensitive," Sheryl smiled and replied. "Actually I don't have any hostility against you. I just… prefer my previous work. Fortunately, there is a chance to go back to it now. So… I have to say sorry to you," Sheryl added.

Then she continued to explain, "There are many younger and prettier girls who are more suitable for the post I am holding in this company. They are all more professional than me. Modeling is, after all, a profession for young people. My age is not suitable for this job any longer. So I have to prepare a backup plan. I truly understand you, Miss Ye. But… you should also understand me, right?"

"Fine, fine. I understand you, "Holley answered with a half smile. But then she started again with a mark of disappointment in her voice, "To be honest… I will truly feel sad if you leave BM Corporation. I had decided to designate you to do behind-the-scenes work. Then at that time, what you need to do is to train the newly-employed models. But I did not expect that you would be in such a hurry to leave. Your insistence to leave truly makes me absolutely unprepared and without a back up."

"Thank you for taking the trouble," Sheryl gave a gentle smile and replied. "But I have already made up my mind."

"That's all right." Holley heaved a deep sigh waving her hand. "I also know that you wouldn't change your mind. But… I still hope that you stay here," Holley persistently tried to detain her.

Sheryl just smiled and said nothing.

Holley stared at her face with an expectant look for a while and finally returned a smile to Sheryl who just stood there without responding to her request. "Fine, I rest my case then. We won't talk about this any more. Now that you have decided, I will not try to pull you back. But Sher, I have to remind you that…" She stopped to organize her words, "I have to remind you that you must be well-prepared for this assignment. As long as this project is accomplished successfully, you can leave BM Corporation successfully."

Sheryl did not fail to identify the mark of threat in her words. "Okay, I know that." Sheryl nodded her head slightly.

Sheryl had always been diligent in her work. And now that she had promised Holley, she would do her best to complete her last project with perfection.

Holley then held Sheryl's hand again and began to talk about Sue. "I have been so busy these days that I did not find the time to see Sue. How is she now? I heard earlier that her condition was not good. What's her condition now? Is she feeling better now?"
