The Apple of My Eye

"I…" Autumn answered with her eyes wide open. She looked innocent at the moment.

Before she could finish, Charles interrupted and commanded, "Yvonne, I took you as my wife only to please my grandpa. If you think you'll get to sleep with me to be able to consolidate your status, you better drop that thought because that's only going to happen in your dreams."

'I chose Yvonne from thousands of candidates simply for two prime reasons. Firstly, it is the talk of the town that Yvonne is a spoilt girl from a rich family. The innocent and stupid girl has been goofing off. Secondly, only one helluva bait will satiate the cunning Simon Gu. Moreover, Gu's company won't ever pose a threat to me.

But see what happened? Yvonne Gu tried to lure me with her beauty by broadcasting her seminude body as soon as I reached home. Can't believe they say she's stupid!

It's clear that she knows how to seduce me by using her body as a bait.'

Autumn was dying to speak to Charles about an agreement, so she calmed her down. When Charles insulted her with his poor judgement of her intention, she was enraged.

She got up from the bed and sat straight on the heels to look at Charles bravely in the eye. His dark eyes made it clear to her that he didn't think high of her.

Autumn's anger reached its zenith.

"Mr. Lu, you have the beautiful Miss Rachel Bai as your girlfriend. I am sure my ordinary looks are not good enough for you, " Autumn smirked.

"I know my capabilities well so I will never hope to ever receive your love. However, I just wish you do me a small favor and sign this, Mr. Lu." Autumn with one hand tightly gripping the towel, used the other hand to take out a file from her bag. Then she showed the file to Charles.

"Mr. Lu, I am nothing. You wanted me to marry you and I did. I know I am a mere distraction for you. But can you please let me go when you don't need me? I will appreciate your kindness, " Autumn spoke sincerely. There was no mockery, no pretence, in her tone.

Charles was astonished to see her courage.

There were only two sentences written on the agreement.

First Term: Party A (Charles Lu) will help Gu's Company to sail through this crisis.

term: On no account should Party A and Party B share an intimate relationship.
