The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1859

Sheryl truly believed that Charles was still coming back safe and sound. It was just a matter of time. So she wasn't too worried that someone else was taking over the company. What worried her more was when Charles was coming back.

The sooner Charles came back, the easier it would be for him to fix whatever problems Leila had made. She was just afraid that if Charles didn't come back soon, it would be too late for him to fix anything.

"What are you waiting for? You're Charles' wife. You can just walk into the company and kick Leila out. I'm sure no one's going to stop you," Isla said to Sheryl. She was agitated that Sheryl wasn't doing anything to stop Leila.

Sheryl walked to Isla and put her hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down.

Then Sheryl said to Isla, "Of course, I won't let anything happen to the Shining Company. But we shouldn't act on impulse. That would only alert Leila. What matters most now is to investigate this, so when we confront Leila, we have a lot of evidence, and it'll be easier to ask her to leave."

Isla realized that she was being unreasonably impulsive. She nodded her head as she agreed with Sheryl that it was better to wait and see.

"Fine, you're right."

Still, Isla couldn't help but be worried. Before leaving, she told Sheryl she was going to hire a private detective that could investigate Leila.

Sheryl knew that Isla was very impulsive. She was afraid that Isla would get out of control and do something crazy. So she quickened her pace and caught up with her as she said, "Isla, please, do not act on impulse. Look before you leap. Even if you don't get anything, stay calm and don't do anything that'll make Leila suspicious, okay?"

"Alright, I know! I have much more experience than you when it comes to investigation." Isla was a little annoyed. She then left.

Shaking her head, Sheryl decided to let her go.

When she went back to her office, Sheryl got a call from Cassie.

Cassie sounded very hesitant when she greeted. It seemed as if she had a lot to say but just didn't know where to start.

Sheryl glanced at her watch. It was already lunch time. She then said to Cassie, "Cassie, is it your day off today?"

"Yes, it is."

Cassie was the one who had called, but it was Sheryl leading the conversation. Cassie was hesitant and nervous.

"Great, do you want to have lunch with me?"

"Sure, Sher!"

Sheryl and Cassie chose the restaurant they usually went to. Grabbing her purse, Sheryl left the office after she hung up.

Although Sheryl walked pretty fast, she still wasn't faster than Cassie. When Sheryl arrived, she was told that Cassie was already waiting for her at their table.

"This way, Ms. Xia."

"Thank you."

The waitress led Sheryl to the small room that Cassie was in.

Cassie fidgeted. When she saw Sheryl walk in, she stood up and smiled at Sheryl bashfully.

Sheryl wondered what had happened to Cassie. She was acting so weird.
