The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 151

Autumn's grandmother felt relieved after she briefed Charles all about Autumn's background. She soon fell asleep while leaning against the head of the bed as she was tired. Charles helped her lie down and slowly walked out of the ward.

As soon as he got out, he saw Autumn coming towards the ward with a container in her hand. He signaled her to keep quiet with a hand gesture and explained while whispering, "Grandmother has fallen asleep. Let her take some rest now."

"Charles, I am scared and worried, " Autumn said with tears welling up in her eyes. She could never hide her weakness in front of Charles.

She hated the fact that she had trusted Wendy. She thought, 'Maybe when people are driven to a corner, they grab any life-saving straw available without thinking who is at the helping end of the straw.'

Charles held Autumn by the shoulders. The magic in voice had succeeded in comforting and assuring her yet again, "Don't worry. I am here."

His plain and simple words were enough to put Autumn's minds at rest.

Autumn always felt safe when she was around Charles.

As Autumn was in a stressful situation, she had missed several calls from Isla. Isla who was hiding in the bathroom, almost cried as she muttered to herself, "Answer the call please."

Then she heard a familiar yet disgusting voice. It was her client. He said, "Miss Zhao, I have booked a room. Come out soon. As long as you make me happy tonight, I will send the contract to you tomorrow."

"I don't want it, " Isla shouted to him through the small door between them.

"Don't say that. You know the situation of your company very well. Your general manager was accused of plagiarism. And with such a tricky situation, no other company will cooperate with you. Considering that I have known you for a long time, I give you this chance to balance out the situation. Or else, I wouldn't talk to you, " The client laughed from outside the door, "Miss Zhao, I have been missing you since the last time we met. Don't worry. I will give lots of cases to Cloud Advertising Company provided you spend the night with me."

"There is no way that is happening. Get out of here!" Isla thought, 'I was too naive. I found it weird when I arrived. It's uncommon to negotiate business without his assistant or secretary. I wanted to take the chance and tried my best.' She wasn't expecting to feel dizzy after having one drink. She was convinced her wine was laced with some drug.

She pretended to have an urge to use the washroom but instead hid herself there. But that creep followed her till there.

She called Autumn several times but couldn't get through. The moment she was trembling with fear and desperate for help, her cellphone rang. She answered and cried to the caller, "Autumn, I am in the washroom on the first floor of Hong Fu Restaurant. Please come and save me!"

She used all her energy to finish the sentence and fell down with a faint. She felt relieved because Autumn had finally called her back and she felt assured that she would be saved.

Aron called Isla to ask her out explaining about things that happened years earlier. He hadn't expected to hear Isla asking for help when his call got through. He was anxious and went towards the door without uttering a word.

"Aron, where are you going at this time?" Becky asked as she saw Aron preparing to leave in a hurry. She felt nervous, so she stopped him, "My father and mother are coming here to discuss about the wedding ceremony. It's just not appropriate for you to leave like this, isn't it?" She had been unwilling to come back, but Aron had been adamant. She worried and felt threatened about their relationship because Isla was in this city.

Aron ignored Becky completely. In reality, he had never actually agreed to marry her. The wedding and all was just wishful thinking on her part.
