The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 911

A sly smile spread over Holley's face as she thoroughly examined Sheryl's appearance. Then, she looked around as though she were a queen with everything under her control.

"In fact, it is not just some modern fancywork. More importantly, you need to..." said Holley and then paused for a bit. Hesitance had crossed her face before she continued, "I asked you to come here today because there are a few important guests who would appreciate our company later."

As soon as the words had left her mouth, the girls wore shocked expressions upon fully comprehending the underlying meaning of 'accompanying guests'. It was not what they expected to hear from her. "What? Are you just kidding me?" a girl asked in a rather indignant tone. "Miss Ye, that is not what you said before. It is so absurd for you to think that we would ever agree to do something like this." "She's right! We are models and model show has always been our major work. We don't want to get involved in any of your shady activities. We have made it clear in our contract, so I am afraid that we can't do that for you," a girl said furiously.

"Yes. Miss Ye," said Susan, looking at her disbelievingly, "how could you make that decision without talking to us about it beforehand? You can tell that everyone here does not want to take part in this."

After she had furrowed her eyebrows into a frown, she then turned to Sheryl, and said, "Sher, BM Corporation looked like a legitimate company and that's why I wanted to work here in the first place. But I never expected that such an atrocious business would also exist here. It feels so disgusting."

Being cautious, Sheryl pressed her lips into a thin line and kept silent as she felt like it was not an accident. It appeared that everything that had?happened so far was on purpose.

"Miss Ye, if you're asking us to be a bunch of hostesses today, then I'm afraid that we'll have to decline your request," another girl almost cried out.

"Yes, we won't do that," the girls agreed in a furious tone.

It was apparent that Holley's proposal encountered strong opposition from all the girls except for Sheryl, who just sat there motionlessly while refraining from uttering her true thoughts.

She knew Holley well enough not to be impulsive. If the woman had her mind made up about something, she would?do whatever to achieve her purpose. Even if the girls were reluctant to do her bidding, they would be unable to change a thing.

That was why she decided not to contradict the woman. It was futile.

When Holley glanced at Sheryl, she half expected that she would look like a duck caught in a thunderstorm.

After all, she had been waiting for this moment for such a long time.

However, to her surprise, Sheryl looked so composed as though nothing had happened. Her relaxed demeanor was so convincing that it made Holley feel frustrated somehow.

'Doesn't she care about it?' she thought to herself.

The girls' discussion grew louder by the second, so Holley had to cough deliberately in order to interrupt them. When she had their attention once more, she gazed around the room and said in a rather calm yet casual tone, "Stop talking, girls. Listen to me. Calm down. Try to remember that I'm still your boss, and that all of you are my best assets." When she was sure that her words had sunk into the girls' minds, she continued, "Do you really think that I would set you up? Well, if I did, what would I profit from it?"

The persuasive manager smiled bitterly and went on, "We have known each other for a long time. I thought you'd all know me well by now. Still, I never expected that any of you would regard me as such a vicious woman. It's quite upsetting."

Then she feigned a frustrated look while the models became bewildered. None of the girls could guess her real thoughts.

But Sheryl, unfazed even after Holley's little guilt trip, remained seated with her lips tightly shut.

Susan, who trusted Sheryl the most, was seated beside her. If there was anyone who could figure out a solution to protect them, she strongly believed it was none other than Sheryl.

"Sheryl, what is going on here? I am so worried," she whispered in a shaky voice. After a few seconds, she added, "Would Holley really ask us to work as hostesses? I can't do that. I would never do that."
