The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 290 The First Person To Propose

"I'm good." Autumn was actually depressed, not because of the these harsh words, but because they came from her own mother. She did not expect that she would even think of destroying her like this.

Autumn knew that Wendy disliked her but this was just pure hatred.

After Autumn regained control of her emotions, she said, "Aunt Jane, I was sent to the hospital because Yvonne pushed me down the stairs and broke my bones when I was 15 years old. I spent a whole week in the hospital, but my mother didn't even visit me at all. I didn't expect that she would make an issue about it now and use it to spread lies about me..."

Autumn was so heart broken and did not know what else to say.

Jane felt so sorry for Autumn after hearing this story. Had she known the truth earlier, she would not have hurt Autumn, now matter how much she disliked her.

She actually liked Autumn before those things happened.

"Sorry, I......" Jane did not know what to say to comfort Autumn.

"I'm fine." Autumn now felt the pressing matter was to break off any relationship she had with Wendy.

"Autumn, is..... your husband still angry about what I did?" Jane came here after realizing her mistake, but most importantly, for Chris.

She heard from Sam that Chris no longer wanted to talk to her, much less to see her. Jane would not forgive herself if she lost her future daughter-in-law. That's why Jane decided to come.

Autumn glanced at Jane slightly and said, "Relax. I don't think it will make any impact on Charles or Chris.

"That's good, that would be good." Jane was so relieved as she took Autumn's hand and said, "I always know that you are a good considerate child. What had happened was all my fault, please...... Please let Chris know how bad I feel for my behavior the other day. I hope she could also forgive me."

"Yes of course. I will, Aunt Jane." Autumn had no special feelings for Jane, so she didn't mind how Jane treated her. Moreover, Autumn sincerely hoped that Chris and Sam could be together.

"Autumn, please come for a visit when you get the chance. Well for now...... I'll take my leave and go home." Jane laughed faintly. She knew that she had already done what she came to do. There was no reason for her to stay any longer.

"Take care." Autumn walked Jane to the door and told her, "Go safely, Aunt Jane."

"Thanks, I will!" Jane smiled and waved to Autumn, "Don't worry about me, I could take care of myself. Sorry for taking too much of your time. You can now resume what you were doing."

Everyone in the office stood, unable to utter a word as they watched the two ladies walk out of the room as if they were mother and daughter.

When she came two days ago, she almost overturned the whole office. But today... Was this the same woman? What happened inside the conference room?

The office workers looked like they were busy with work but they were about to burst with curiosity; it made them mad.

Leila, looking at this peaceful situation, couldn't help pouting her lips with disappointment. She thought she could witness some drama good enough for TV. But it was as boring as a rock.

She saw Autumn coming over and hurriedly greeted her. She asked Autumn, "Autumn, who is that woman? Why did she come for you?"

"It's nothing." Autumn lightly glanced at Leila and asked, "Why did you come out?"

"Well..." Now that she had got what she wanted, Leila felt that she had no need to stay any longer. She did not really want to stay and have dinner with Autumn.

She wasn't in the mood, so she prepared to say goodbye.

"My family just called. They said that there was some kind of emergency. So I think I have to go home now. I'm afraid I will have to take a rain check on that dinner with you." Leila looked apologetically at Autumn and said, "But you can rest assured Autumn, I owe you this and I'll make up for it later."

Autumn looked at Leila coldly. She did not really care about the dinner at all. What she could not understand was why Leila came today. But since she was leaving, Autumn could get rid of her and get a break. "Well, then you should go now, "Autumn said.

After leaving Autumn's office, Leila went straight home and sent the files to Paula who immediately looked at them. When they made the plan proposal, Paula had no idea that Andy had already reviewed the proposal because they had proposed separately last time. Moreover, she was in Japan that time and it was impossible for her to know that. She was overjoyed when she got it. She knew that Autumn's plan would not be ordinary.

Although she hated Autumn, there was no denying that Autumn's working ability was good.

If Autumn knew it, she would not know whether she should laugh or cry.

"Autumn, let's wait and see who will win this battle at the end." Paula sneered inwardly.

Early the next morning, at the Giant Promise Company's conference room, Autumn and Isla saw Paula dressed up differently. Isla frowned and whispered to Autumn, "Why is she here?"

"She left Cloud Advertising Company to work for Dark Blue Company. As I know she is their chief planner. I'm not surprised to see her here, "Autumn whispered back. Isla was amazed. "I didn't expect that she would have skills for that."

"Me neither." Both women giggled as Paula walked by proudly.

"It's been a long time, Miss Ye." Paula's fighting spirit was soaring, as she stopped and stood in front of Autumn.

"I really don't want to see you if I could help it." Autumn curled her lips slightly.

"You......" Paula was taken aback. She did not expect Autumn to talk like that and it embarrassed her. But when she thought about what would happen soon, Paula's face lightened up again. She looked at Autumn and said, "You could keep being stubborn and reluctant, I'll see if you can still be like this after the presentation."

Paula taunted at Autumn.

"Let's see who gets the last laugh then." Isla smiled, pulling Autumn aside, warning her to stay away from Paula.

Paula blocked the two women in front of her, and handed over a piece of paper. It was the order of today's proposals and Dark Blue Company was to go first with their presentation. "As you can see, I get to be the first to make the presentation."
