The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1822

"Since we are all worried about Charles, you should go to Malaysia and cooperate with the police to find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Aunt Melissa remains worried about him, she might fire some other employees. And then I am afraid, I will not be able to stop her," Leila said, so that David was left with no other choice.

David glanced at Leila and then lowered his head in dismay. He was lost in his thoughts.

He knew that everything was Leila's plan. How could Melissa know about anything in the company? Now she was asking him to leave. They just needed an excuse to send him away.

"David, I ask you to go there on behalf of Aunt Melissa. She said she can't trust anyone else with this job other than you. She would be worried, if someone else does this job." Leila mentioned Melissa just to prevent David from refusing her.

After quite a while, David nodded. "Okay, I see. I will leave for Malaysia tomorrow."

Before Leila could respond, David walked out of her office.

Leila heaved a sigh of relief and a contended smile appeared on her lips. Since David had agreed to leave, Leila thought she was free from future troubles.

Since Leila had just started to take charge of the company, she was surely busy enough. By the time she completed her day's work, it was 10 at night.

In Dream Garden

"My Lady, it's quite late now. Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?" As Nancy was preparing to retire to bed, she found Melissa still sitting in the living room. Hence, she asked in concern.

"Do you need to bother about what time I go to sleep?" Melissa snapped at Nancy. The apparent disgust in her voice, as she replied to Nancy, revealed that she did not like Nancy.

Hence, Nancy did not want to embarrass herself further. She lowered her head and made her way around Melissa, planning to go to her room.

"Nancy, I remind you. Charles was pushed into the sea by that bitch, Sheryl. If you are not loyal to the Lu Family and still want Sheryl to come back to Dream Garden, you will probably be the next one to leave this house." Melissa raised her head and glanced at Nancy sternly as she gave her the ultimatum.

Nancy almost approached the door of her room but stood still as she heard what Melissa had just said. After a long while, she turned around and looked at Melissa. "My Lady, I have been working in Dream Garden for so many years. I have seen Mr. Lu since he was a child. I am and always will be loyal to him. Please, don't worry about that, Madam."

Nancy worded her reply tactfully as she had no intention to express her loyalty towards Melissa. Ever since Sheryl left, Melissa repeatedly blamed her for living on the Lu Family while helping others secretly. Honestly, Nancy couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Her prompt revert angered Melissa all the more. "What? You dare to show your impatience to my face just because I said something about you? Don't forget that I am the mistress of Dream Garden. I can fire you right now. But I am just being considerate towards Charles' feelings. Do you think I will keep you, an old woman in the house?" Melissa looked at Nancy with disdain, as if she could not bear the very sight of her in this house anymore.

She was growing so resentful towards Nancy, to the extent that she started to hate Nancy the moment she came in front of her eyes.

Nancy was confused and could not remember when she had offended this lady. Was it just because she had a good relationship with Sheryl?

"Well, don't offend my eyes anymore. Go out of my sight, now!" Melissa said as she cast another disdainful glance at Nancy, who stood there blankly trying to withstand the abuses hurled at her. Melissa shoved Nancy off by waving her hand as if her existence was no more significant than that of a fly.

Nancy was angry but decided to leave at once. She was a sensible person. As she went back to her room, she still felt the sting of the insult and humiliation she had just suffered.

At the same time, even Melissa could not rest her mind after venting out her anger on Nancy. Yes, she was mad at Nancy. And after Nancy left, she felt her breathing to have become quickened at painfully ragged rate.
