The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 923

"Mr. Su, you are not kidding, are you?" Chuck couldn't believe what he just heard. He was still upset that Charles canceled the investment he tried so hard to get. However, having someone offered him another investment was way beyond a good deal. How could he say no?

"Do I look like I am kidding?" Cary questioned back. "Or are you trying to say that you have found another investor already?"

"No, no. I actually feel very much honored to have you as our partner," Chuck replied excitedly. However, he was still skeptical, thus, he asked, "Mr. Su, have you really decided to partner with us?"

After all, the business opportunity that he was longing for was too good to be true.

"Sure," said Cary. "I have been noticing the development of the Eternity Company for the past couple of years. I'm seeing great potential. You know, as a modest businessman, I won't let this precious opportunity to slip by. I'm not sure if you are available for small chats right now. I'd like us to have a small business chat if possible. I have a lot of things to clear out before making my final decision. I sincerely hope that you can take some time to address my queries."

"Hmm…" Chuck took a look at Sheryl and then Cary hesitantly.

Nevertheless, Cary sensed the man's doubt. He wouldn't mind pressuring Chuck to do as he wanted. "Well, if you are really busy with something else, then I guess I should leave now."

"No, no, no. I have time," Chuck hurried to agree. He was actually dying to find another investor after Shiny Company quit. There was no way that he would let go of an eager investor now, right?

He seriously wanted to enjoy the girl in his arms but he was smart enough to gauge that it wasn't worth to waste such a huge investment just for her.

"Help… Help me." Sheryl seemed to have recognized Cary in her subconscious state. Her hand weakly reached out to him in an attempt to seek help. Hugging her and pulling her hand back, Chuck embarrassedly explained, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Su. Hmm… My partner has drunk too much alcohol. I'm so sorry."

Chuck planned to deal with Sheryl after his business discussion with Cary. Thus, he called his people to take her back to his room first. However, Cary had something to say about this.

"Mr. Zhang, did you just say that she is your partner?" asked Cary in his emotionless tone.

"Yes," Chuck affirmed as he looked at Cary cautiously. Doubt suddenly got into him as he wondered why Cary asked such a question. "Is there any problem?"

"Nothing." With a meaningful smile, Cary turned to Sheryl and commented, "Looks pretty."

As a man who knew the business like the back of his hand, Chuck could read the situation from all the table's sides, under the table even. He soon realized what Cary meant with his flirtatious words and frivolous expression.

Everybody knew that Cary liked pretty girls. Thus, it was so easy to see that Cary wanted Sheryl too.

Instead of being pissed off by Cary's desire for the woman in his arms, Chuck felt excited. He knew that the investment would follow as soon as he gave Cary the beauty.

"Mr. Su, if you like her, I'll ask my people to send her to your room instead," Chuck offered in a flattering tone.

"Well… Then thank you. Thank you so much," Cary accepted with a contented smile.

That was the last sentence that Sheryl heard before she totally blacked out. She was relieved as she knew that she would be safe now.

Chuck started discussing the business intently as soon as Sheryl was brought to Cary's room. He talked about his project with his 'new business partner' until late at night. After they finally reached a preliminary agreement, Chuck happily excused himself, "Then, we'll go with what we just discussed. I hope you enjoy your night. A girl like her is rare to find these days after all."

Chuck couldn't hold his joy for the deal he just made with Cary. He was laughing out since he didn't have a clue of what was waiting for him.

On the other hand, Cary was far from being happy after knowing what happened to Sheryl.

'What's wrong with Charles?' he thought. 'How can he allow his wife to be in the hands of this dirty old man?'
