The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1879

Inside Shining Company's Secretary Department

Wade sighed as she hung up the phone. "Leila's so lucky President Lu let her off the hook. Added to that, she's going to be the wife of the chairman!"

Wade pouted her lips as she complained, full of jealousy.

The girl opposite her looked around the room for anyone who might have heard and, seeing no one, signaled Wade to lower her voice. "Since you already know Leila's marrying your boss, don't you think you should be more careful about what you say about her?"

Her words seemed to shock Wade back to her senses. She looked around cautiously and sighed in relief when she saw no one was around.

"Oh, my God, thanks for reminding me!" Wade's eyes widened. "I forgot the walls have ears...Since Leila's getting bolder now, she must have a lot of men secretly working for her." Though thinking about it didn't make her feel scared or uncomfortable. Leila was not any better than her, so why should she have to work under her? Life was so unfair!

"Don't be jealous," the other girl chided. "Neither of us can do what Leila did, so we just have to be careful from now on." Being a secretary like Wade, she didn't understand it either, but she didn't dare to say more about it. She knew, after all, that they couldn't jump to conclusions yet. If she did or said anything rash now, it would come back to bite her in the future.

Outside the department, the silhouette that had lingered a while ago immediately left as the two girls ended their conversation.

Counting to five, David pretended to pass by the Secretary Department on his way to Charles' office and looked inside.

As usual, the people inside saluted David when they saw them.

He eyed the two gossiping girls and said nothing, but his hard gaze was enough to silence them.

The girls bowed their heads in shame and didn't dare to meet his gaze.

Seeing them behave, David continued on to Charles' office.

Since walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Charles had hidden himself inside his office. He didn't meet anyone as he wanted his sadness to be apparent to all

David knocked on the door twice.

"President Lu, it's me!"

David knew Charles didn't want to be bothered. However, he was an exception.

"Come in!"

He heard a voice call from inside.

"Sir, everyone in the company already knows about your divorce." David looked at Charles anxiously.

"The news is all over the internet, so it's only natural that they already know." Charles laced his fingers together and looked at David.

They didn't discuss the topic any further, and David proceeded to tell Charles about the phone conversation between Leila and Wade.

"Looks like Leila's itching to make her move. Keep an eye on her and her friends during this time."
