The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 335 She Is My Girlfriend

Isla thought about it. Reluctantly, she agreed that Charles made sense. After all, nothing was more important than Autumn's health. So she looked up at Charles with crossed arms and said, "Autumn went to the hotel, Mr. Lu. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you. But please don't give her anything to be upset about. She's been though a lot in the past few days."

"I got it, thank you." Charles smiled with gratitude. When he arrived at the hotel, he saw Autumn standing in front of the stage, talking to one of the people there, giving instructions. Charles felt a surge in his heart, happy to see her standing there, looking fine.

Just as he was about to walk towards her, he saw a man approaching Autumn and looking at her with a big smile.

Autumn was discussing the stage arrangement with the hotel manager when Roger interrupted them. He had instructed his assistant to learn about something about Autumn. Unfortunately even for a long time it turned out to be fruitless. Lucky for him, he saw Autumn here today, so he grabbed the opportunity and walked over to her.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Roger greeted Autumn with a wide grin. He was overflowing with confidence in his smile and if Autumn wasn't already attached, he'd be a perfect match for her. "You're..." Autumn looked at Roger confused, trying to figure out who he was.

"I..." Roger was stunned for a moment. He was not used to having people forget who he was after meeting him. It took him some time to absorb the fact and laugh it off. "It's me. We met at the hotel gate the other day. I bumped into you. You don't remember?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Yes, I remember. How are you?" Autumn smiled but kept writing her thoughts on her note. The details of the launch event were the most important thing at the moment. "Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked, barely looking up.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask... about your foot. Are you feeling better?" Roger scratched the back of his head as he asked Autumn gently. "I saw you walk with a limp when you left that day, so I felt bad about it. I have been trying to replace an opportunity to apologize, but I just could not replace you. I didn't expect to see you here though. I suppose it's fate."

Autumn finally lifted her head to glance at Roger and smiled. But she did not slow down. "I'm fine. Sorry, I'm really busy now and I have to leave if there is nothing else."

Autumn turned to go. But how could Roger let her leave? He had thought he'd never see her again but now they were both here.

He mildly blocked Autumn's way and said to her, "We are filming in this hotel. I am one of the supporting actors. And my name is Roger Han, so what's yours?"

"An actor?" She stopped when she heard Roger was an actor, not because she was interested in actors, but on the contrary, it reminded her of Rachel.

She had no idea why she was very exclusive of people in the entertainment circle.

"Yes, I am." Roger proudly looked at Autumn, smiling. "What's your name? I want to invite you to dinner after we shoot."

"Hmm..." Autumn pretended to give it some thought. "No, thanks." She had no interest in actors. She probably even disliked them. "I still have something to do, and I don't think we need to know more about each other."

"You..." It was the first time for Roger to meet such an ungrateful woman; he suddenly got angry. "I said I wanted to invite you to dinner. What part of that did you not understand?" Autumn struggled hard to free herself as she said, "Excuse me. I heard what you said. I'm just not interested. Now, let go of my hand."

She really was extremely busy and had no time for such a trivial thing. It was not that she hated show business itself, but... she found every person in show business she met to be annoying, self-centered and hypocritical.

"Did you hear me? I said get away from me." Autumn yelled at him, now completely irritated.

Roger looked at Autumn and sneered, "You'd better please me while I still have a little patience left in me. The fact that you caught my attention is a privilege for you. No woman has dared reject me and you wil not be the first one."

"Is it so? Then I'd hate to break it to you. You think that you are so special, huh? You have to open your eyes today. And yes, I may be the first one." Autumn shook off Roger's hand with all her strength. She was already in a bad mood earlier and Roger just made it worse.

If it was a different day, Autumn might have rejected him politely.

Autumn's swing to ward off Roger was too wide and her feet weren't steady. After shaking off Roger, she almost lost her balance and started falling. Suddenly, a pair of hands caught her and moved her up to a steady position before pulling her into a strong embrace.

"Are you alright?" Charles asked gently.

"I'm fine," Autumn answered coldly. She couldn't believe that her husband was there. However, she did not show any joy and even slid away from Charles' arms as if repulsed by his touch. When she had recovered from the confusion, she stood firm, and just stood there saying nothing. Charles got surprised at his wife's reaction. This had never happened before.

He wanted to take Autumn home right away so he could ask why she was so cold to him. But first things first. He must... deal with the shameless and obnoxious man in front of him.

"She said she didn't want to have dinner with you. Why is that difficult to understand?" Charles looked at Roger sharply.

"It's none of your business." Roger looked at Charles from head to foot. "We just had a little argument. And who are you? Where the hell did you come from? Didn't your mother teach you not to poke your nose into other couples' business,"

Roger said shamelessly.

Now Autumn didn't like what she heard. She put her hands on her hips. "Excuse me. Where did you get the idea that we are a couple. Do you even know my name? You are having delusions boy!" "Cut it out!" Roger stared fiercely at Autumn and said, "I'll get even with you later."

Seeing Charles keep Autumn behind him, Roger stepped forward and up to Charles. "Would you mind not meddling here? This is a personal thing between a man and a woman. Go replace your own bitch! Get ou of my way, or I'll beat you up now."

Looking at his back, Autumn could not help worrying about Charles getting hurt if they really started a fight.

"Did you just say... she's your girlfriend?" There was no expression on Charles's face; only he, himself knew that the anger in his stomach wasn't anything but suppressed and ready to burst. He urgently needed to go somewhere to vent.

This young bastard dared to covet Autumn. It's just like getting hit with the muzzle of a gun.

"Are you deaf or what? Do I have to say everything twice? If she is not my girlfriend, then whose would she be? Yours?" Roger said to Charles arrogantly.

There were buzzing rumors about Charles and Rachel before, and almost everyone in Y City knew him.

Roger had just moved in for the opportunity in Y City so he didn't know Charles, nor did he know the relationship between him and Rachel.

Charles sneered and opened his mouth, "That's an excellent question! It is true, she is not my girlfriend, she... is my wife."

Roger nearly choked. It took less than a second before he started melting in his own awkwardness.

It was really difficult for him to fancy a woman in this new city. The one woman he liked was married. The one time he pretended to be her boyfriend was in front of her husband. How humiliating it was!
