The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1872

After looking around, Aron realized that Isla was nowhere to be seen. And the door had been shut as well.

Isla, on the other hand, was worriedly rushing to work. She was anxious to know how Sheryl was. However, in her hurry, she had forgotten to take her car keys. Standing in front of her car, she felt a mixture of both fear and frustration.

"Honey, are you looking for this?" Aron came towards her, waving the keys in front of her.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Isla's face, but she hid it well. Aron didn't get a chance to notice it. She pretended to be angry and snapped, "Give it to me now!"

"Yes, madam, but I will be driving!" Aron flashed her a complacent smile. At this moment, Isla didn't have any energy to argue, so she gave in without a fight. Seeing this, he stared at her with his loving eyes.

It was evident to Aron that Isla was concerned about Sheryl, so he drove the car as fast as possible. Before long, they arrived at Cloud Advertising Company.

"Isla, don't say anything harsh. Do everything calmly. Try to reason with her, okay?" Aron was worried that Isla might lose her temper and argue with Sheryl because she was too concerned now.

"Don't worry unnecessarily. Do you actually think I am here to fight with Sheryl?" Isla gave him a contemptuous look and left soon.

Phoebe had been informed about Isla's arrival, so she was waiting downstairs. As soon as Isla approached, Phoebe walked towards her.

"Ms. Zhao, you arrived here very quickly!" Phoebe said, getting into the elevator with Isla.

"Tell me what on earth has happened!" Isla urged, looking at Phoebe with her eyebrows knitted.

Phoebe recalled the incident that had happened just now. She made it a point to speak without missing out on anything.

Listening to this, Isla stood thunderstruck. If Charles was back, Sheryl was supposed to be happy about it. However, on the contrary, she seemed sad and heartbroken. This made no sense to her.

Phoebe seemed as confused as she was. Both of them knew that they couldn't figure it out by merely thinking about it. The only choice they had was to confront Sheryl. Now they were in the process of doing just that.

In the office, Sheryl couldn't constrain her sadness anymore. She burst into desperate tears.

Without bothering to knock, Isla sprinted in. Of course, she had witnessed the scene where Sheryl was crying her heart out.

"Don't try to hide anything from me. Tell me about it now, Sher!" Isla said, pounding hard on the table. The sight of her friend weeping had broken her heart.

Sheryl wiped her tears dry. She had intended to pretend as if nothing had happened. However, she couldn't lie to Isla since she had seen her cry. Having no other choice, she decided to tell Isla everything.

"It is not a serious issue. It's the same old Leila issue if I have to be completely honest. Isla, will you stay here with me? I don't feel too good right now. How about we go and get a drink!" Sheryl forced a bitter smile. Then she grabbed Isla's hand and walked out.

This was the first time that Sheryl had proposed to have a drink.

Instead of being relieved, Isla's concern intensified. She couldn't read the situation. 'She must be feeling miserable inside. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suggested getting drunk!' Isla thought sorrowfully.

"All right, I'll do whatever makes you happy. If you want to drink, then let's do it!" Isla chimed in, wrapping Sheryl's hand with her own.

After they left the company, they headed to a 24-hour pub. All Sheryl wanted to do was drink. Desperately, she hoped she could drown her sorrow with the help of lots of wine.

Watching Sheryl gulp down her drink, Isla's heart contracted a little. Unable to go through this torture any longer, she harshly grabbed the wineglass from her hand and said, "Sheryl, stop it! You didn't tell me the whole story. Come clean and tell me the truth!"

Sheryl was soon a little tipsy since she had quickly drunk several glasses of wine. But since Isla insisted, she slowly blurted out the whole story.
