The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 920 Chuck Zhang

Chuck was irritable because of Charles' rude attitude towards him. He firmly decided to take revenge on Charles at any cost.

In the elevator, David timidly tried to ask, "Mr. Lu, are you really giving up the cooperation with Mr. Zhang's company?"

Charles merely cast a glance at David and his tone went cold. "What? Did you think I was just kidding?"

"No, no... I didn't think so," David said in a rush. "But... He was an important partner of ours. If our sales volume in this season is reduced because of your argument with him, other members of the board would blame you."

Charles simply sneered and said, "Don't worry. I'll deal with them. You should just busy yourself with what I asked you to do."

"Okay." Although a little reluctant, Dave nodded slightly.

Charles called Sheryl as he left but she didn't pick up. He frowned at that and assumed that she would call him back soon. After he finished dinner, though, there still wasn't a call for him and it got him feeling restless.

He reached Abby and found out that Sheryl went somewhere else for work, but Abby didn't know exactly where Sheryl was either.

By that point, Charles was panicked. He called Sheryl another few times but didn't get through.

"David, check where Sheryl is working right now." His tone was serious and demanding.

David realized that something must've happened. He asked nothing as he went to check Sheryl's work schedule. Charles was gripping his phone hard and nervously waiting to replace out her whereabouts as soon as possible.

Finally, his phone rang. It was a call from Sue.

He suddenly realized that Sue must know where Sheryl had gone and he cursed himself for not reaching her earlier.

"Mr. Lu, is Sher with you now? She's not answering my phone. Please have her pick up the call." Sue's tone was nervous. She had just had a nightmare at noon and it made her feel restless with concern abou Sheryl.

"You think she's with me?" Charles was astonished.

"Didn't she go visit you?" Sue realized that Sheryl never went to see Charles. When Sue heard his confused voice, she was taken aback and murmured, "How would that... Sheryl told me her working place is also in Y City and she planned to give you a surprise."

Sue paused for a while and carefully added, "She really didn't come for you, right? Could something have happened to her?"

Both Sue and Charles were fidgety and restless because of the possibility that Sheryl did meet some kind of accident.

"Are you sure she came to Y City?" Charles asked once more, hoping to hear something hopeful.

"Yes, I'm sure." Sue was certain about that, at least. "She had to go with the people at BM Corporation. I tried to stop her this time because I thought Holley is too weird, but I didn't expect anything to happen s quickly."

"Don't be scared. She could just be really caught up in work." Charles tried to console Sue, and in turn, himself.

"No, that's impossible." Sue's smile was bitter as she said, "I kept calling her last night but she never picked up. She would never do that to me."

Charles arched his brows at Sue's words before he said, "Don't be nervous. I'm looking for her right now."

"Mr. Lu..." Sue started as he was about to hang up. "Please tell me if you can replace her. I'll stay up until I'm sure she's okay."

"Okay." Charles raised his voice as soon as he hung up the phone. "David, connect BM Corporation now and check where Sheryl is!"

In the Xiao family house, Sue was still worried about Sheryl as she hung up.

She decided to put on a coat and head out when Anthony immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "Where are you going?"

"I feel too worried about Sheryl. I'm going to look for her." Sue frowned and continued, "This work should be mine. Sheryl did it for me. If anything happened to her, I would never forgive myself."

"It's far too late and you're pregnant. How can you replace her by yourself?" Anthony heaved a sigh and tried to console her, "You can't do anything about this matter, anyway. Just stay home and wait for Charles' news."

"I can't just wait anymore." Sue was getting irritated by Anthony's coddling. "Sher is the most important person in the world to me. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'm going to help look for her."

"Sue, calm down." Laura had just prepared some nourishment for Sue. When she overheard her argument with Anthony, she tried to persuade Sue to stay. "I know Sheryl is your best friend. But you're pregnant, after all. You should stay calm and rest for the sake of the baby."

Sue began hesitating when she heard Laura's words and the latter continued, "Sheryl wouldn't allow you to risk anything if she knew you were looking for her at such a crucial moment." "But..." Sue's concern still wasn't vanishing from her face.

"Don't think too much." Laura continued, "If you're still worried, tomorrow, we can look for her together. It's just too late today."

"Oh, do you mean it?" Surprised, Sue wondered why Laura was also concerned about Sheryl.

"Of course," Laura said with a smile. "You must be forgetting something. Anthony and I are from M City. It's a good chance for us to take you back to our hometown and give a little visit as well. We can decide the restaurant for your wedding."

Sue blushed and nodded slightly.

At the same time, Sheryl had been waiting a while. They were all feeling sleepy.

Holley arrived and asked them to stand up. "Cheer up! The guests have arrived. Go out right now!" She shouted at them.

She walked up to Sheryl and said, "Sheryl, come with me." Sheryl followed Holley without a word.

There was no escape anyway and she could only be obedient as she thought of her chances.

Holley took Sheryl to a room where only an ugly man was inside. He was about forty years old with a fat belly, giving her a sense of disgust. Holley smiled and said to the man, "Mr. Zhang, this is the person you want."

"That's the woman you told me about?" Chuck examined Sheryl and found that with her pale face, she looked very pure. He believed she was the type that Charles liked.

"Yes, she is." Holley grinned at the situation. "What do you think of her? Are you satisfied?"

Chuck sneered. "Not bad," he said as he continued examining her as if she were merely a product. Sheryl felt terribly uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Then... I should take my leave now. Have fun!" Holley smirked as she said it. When she passed by Sheryl, she warned, "Don't try to play any tricks. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson."
