The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 964

"Alright! I got it." Looking at Sheryl, Helin stood up. "Since you don't want to do me the favor, I won't force it. There's nothing wrong with the plan. Just go ahead and arrange it."

Not turning her head once, Helin left Sheryl's office without another word, her face sullen.

Isla went to Sheryl's office and noticed Helin's cold face. Curiously, she asked about it. "What's the matter? Did she make things difficult for you?"

"No," Sheryl simply said. With a wry smile, she explained what happened to Isla. "I really have no idea what is on her mind. She only cares about herself and doesn't listen to others at all."

"Sounds like you're much more mature than her." Putting on a comforting smile, Isla said, "By the way, this is an invitation from Cary's company. You're invited to join. Oh, and here's another one. Cary said that you know who to give it to, anyway."

A shadow of a smile glinted in her eyes. "Alright, I got it, thanks."

Ever since that night, Sheryl hadn't met Susan, so she could take this as a chance to check how Susan's injuries was in person.

Susan's mother just finished cooking dinner when Sheryl arrived at the house. With a warm greeting, she invited Sheryl to dinner with them.

Though Sheryl didn't originally intend to have dinner there, Susan's parents were hospitable enough that they urged her to stay for a meal.

While they were at the dinner table, Jeremy mentioned that he hadn't seen Cary in a rather long time. Sheryl could only make an excuse that Cary had been busy with his work and that he was planning to visit them as soon as he was available.

There was a sullen expression on Susan's face and a frown between her brows as she heard Cary's name. Snapping at her dad, she asked, "Dad, why do you care about him? Isn't it perfect that he's not coming? I don't want to see him yet."

With a little snort, Jeremy retorted, "Kiddo, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Uncle, Susan, please don't argue with each other." Holding the invitation in her hand, Sheryl hesitated for a while, knowing that if she gave the invitation to Susan when they were alone, she probably wouldn't agree to go. The dinner with Susan's parents would be the best time to carry out the task Cary gave her.

"Actually, I'm here on Cary's behalf. He gave me a little task," she said to Jeremy with a mischievous smile.

"A task? What kind of task?" Jeremy's expression instantly lit up as he eagerly asked Sheryl about it.

"Here's the thing. There's an event held by Cary's company in a few days. A lot of people are invited. He sincerely wants you to participate… so he asked me to give you the invitation."

A sullen expression fell upon Susan's face as Sheryl brought out the invitation as if Sheryl did something traitorous.

Suddenly feeling diffident, Sheryl didn't dare meet Susan's eyes and instead just shot the bullet by handing Jeremy the invitation. "Uncle, Cary hopes your whole family could join the event."

"Of course, we will all be present at that time." Not surprisingly, Jeremy readily agreed with a smile on his face.

Holding a discontented look, Susan said to Jeremy, "Dad, I'm injured right now. I won't go."

"You're almost healed. Why can't you go?" With a frown, Jeremy disapproved. "Besides, he invited you with sincerity and even had Sheryl do it because he knows you're not always fond of him. It would be impolite if you didn't show yourself."

As he finished telling off his daughter, he turned to Sheryl. "When you see Cary, please tell him that we'll definitely be there."

"Okay." Delighted, Sheryl smiled.
