The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 164

"What's wrong?" Paula stood in front of Autumn with an ounce of care and asked her in a cold tone. Now that Paula had been transferred to the logistics department, she did her work in a perfunctory and detached manner. Paula would definitely not pin her hope and aspirations on her present job as she was merely a cleaner in the company now. Would she realize her value and potential through this job? Of course she would not.

She harbored ill thoughts and hatred not only for Autumn but also for Isla, because in her opinion, they both stood in the same position and were responsible for her current condition in the company.

"What are you going to do now? You asked me to come here but you have just been silent. What is your intention?" Paula furrowed her eye brows impatiently while shooting her questions. She was enraged by Autumn's bad attitude towards her.

"Paula, we have been colleagues for over three years, right? And I have known you for three years already. In all those years, I have never done anything wrong to you, This has just left me confused as to why you detest me so much?" Autumn was curious about what sparked the controversy in the first place. She really wanted to know why Paula always had a strong feeling of despise and hatred towards her.

However, upon hearing this, Paula laughed slyly and replied sarcastically, "I am afraid you have misunderstood me through those years. I never said that I hate you. Who told you this?" Obviously, Paula was not going to be honest with her. She would not tell Autumn that she disliked her simply because she was envious of her and the life she was leading.

Autumn gave an all-knowing smile and decided not to waste anymore of her time dwelling upon this matter. She asked Paula to come to her cabin because she wanted to figure out what happened in the office during her leave.

"Nothing special happened here. You were off for only a few days. What could possibly happen in such a short span of time?" In fact, what Autumn specifically wanted to know was what had happened to Isla. Autumn knew that Paula would pour out all details she knew without reservation as she despised Isla very much. "Paula I mean what happened to Isla?"

"Well, that is really a good question. But I am afraid that you have to ask your bestie for more details after all she is the person concerned." Paula burst into sneer as she still couldn't help telling Autumn the whole story. "You know what? They..."

Paula exaggerated what happened in the company that day and narrated the story down to every minor detail. After hearing it all, Autumn scowled and clenched her hand into a fist.

She knew for certain that Isla was a kind girl and she would never hurt people. But Autumn was still worried about Isla at such a critical time after all Aron's grandma was seriously injured.

Autumn was still a little absent-minded when she went off work that day while Charles took her to a dress shop. He asked her to pick up a beautiful robe.

"Charles, there is no need to buy it. I don't wear such an outfit in daily life, so it is rather unnecessary to buy one as it will serve no purpose." Autumn said with a frown.

"This is not a dress for your daily life, Autumn!" Charles looked at her and said, "Do you forget what are we going do tomorrow? It is Rachel's birthday. Do you want to go there with your current boring clothes?"

"I..." Autumn was so occupied with the things that happened these days that she almost forgot that Rachel's birthday was coming. Of course Autumn did not want to lose face to her as Rachel was her rival in love earlier. At the thought of this, Autumn began to pay more attention on picking a robe for the birthday party. But she was a little bit upset because she couldn't find a desirable one after spending so much time at the store.

"What is wrong? Why do you look a little sad? You can't find a dress that you like?" Charles took Autumn's hand and asked her gently.

"Yeah, I can't find a desirable dress for the party." All of the dresses in the store looked very beautiful and she could tell that they were expensive. Irrespective of that, she could hardly pick out a dress she was inclined towards.

It was because none of them suited her taste.
