The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 989

Donna was still oblivious about George's proposal to Holley. Sensing that Sula was all but ready to give up on George, she had spent quite some time talking to her last night. She persuaded the girl not to lose heart and promised that she would help bring George and her together.

Donna was ready to take some action to break the relationship between Holley and her son.

She woke up early in the morning, put on her best business suit and wore delicate make-up before making a beeline for BM Corporation.

George and Holley were in the middle of a meeting with the shareholders of the company when Donna barged into the conference room to everyone's immense surprise.

Since those present were top management staff, most of them knew Donna. They smiled at her politely to show their respect because they knew that she was the individual who was really in charge of the company.

However, George and Holley knitted their brows at her intrusion.

Standing up, George frowned at his mother and said acidly, "What are you doing here, Mom? We are in a meeting. If you have something important to tell me, please wait in my office."

He was anxious for his mother to leave since he thought that she had come to talk to him about Sula.

Donna sneered and said to George, "I have nothing personal to say to you. I have come here to know how the company is doing."

"Knock it off, Mom. I am serious," George retorted. He was getting frustrated by her presence.

Oblivious to his words, Donna sat down in George's seat. With a resigned look, he pulled up another chair and sat next to his mother.

Donna glanced around at the shareholders who were present and said, "Please, carry on with the meeting. From today, I will be present at the office. We will be meeting frequently. So you don't have to be overcautious around me."

George suddenly felt a rush of relief wash over him. He recalled that Donna had mentioned this to him. But after what had happened between him and Sula that night, he had forgotten about it.

The rest of the staff at the table started whispering to one another. Holley couldn't hold back her displeasure any longer. Controlling her anger, she tried to sound as polite as she possibly could, "You surprised us, Aunt. Why didn't you discuss this with George before deciding to come to work? After all, this isn't some trivial matter."

Although Donna owned BM Corporation, George was the one taking care of the business of its branch in Y City. 'He and I have devoted a lot to the company and it has thrived so far. I can't let Donna take it away from us as she pleases, ' Holley decided.

"And what makes you think that I haven't talked to him about this?" Donna retorted gruffly, sparing a cold glance at Holley.

Holley froze for a moment. She turned to look at George. He nodded slightly, confirming that Donna had already filled him in.
