The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 970 Pick Sheryl Up

"Is there any problem?" Sheryl asked with a wide smile. She then added, "Actually, I feel safer that it is you who is managing our company now. You should also know that I don't have the skill to operate a company. Thus, it is really you who should be taking over it. However, I'm very good at planning. We'll definitely be good business partners."

"Sher, I couldn't always stay here," replied Isla as she shot Sheryl an apologetic stare.

It was only after a few seconds that Sheryl looked at Isla and realized that she wasn't joking at all. She instantly got worried and asked, "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong?" "None," answered Isla while helplessly shaking her head. She continued, "I just want to remind you that the company is yours. You should learn how to manage it. In terms of writing plans, there are many young planners. You should create opportunities for them too, right? You can't just take the bread out of these planners' mouth, can you?"

"Uh..." Sheryl was taken aback by Isla's words. She never thought of that since she came back and worked for the company. She had buried herself into writing plans and completely forgot about the young planners that were employed by their company. It seemed that it was the perfect time to offer them some opportunities.

"Oh, my God! I nearly forget about this!" she exclaimed as she patted her forehead. An embarrassed smile cracked her lips as she said to Isla, "You are right. After I finish the two cases I'm currently working on, I'll hand the other cases to them."

"That's all right. I will gradually hand my things to you in the next few days. You are the real boss of the company. You should take your true responsibility now," said Isla as she put on a wide smile. "Please be honest with me, Isla. What's wrong? Is there anything bad that happened?" Sheryl said worriedly as she stared at Isla.

Isla paused for a second upon hearing her words. Based on Sheryl's concerned expression, she knew that Sheryl had misunderstood her. That was funny! Thus, she said with a smile, "Sher, I have been staying here since you left three years ago. I do so because I believe that you will surely come back. I don't want you to see the company in a poor condition once you're back. That's why I stayed here and waited."

She stopped to gather her thoughts and then continued, "However, now that you're here, I guess it's time for me to return the company to you. I don't mean anything else."

"Really?" Sheryl asked puzzledly.

"Yes, that's basically it," replied Isla. She then added, "Don't you know that I've never had time to relax since I handled your company? I didn't even have time for my family! Furthermore, Aron had been unsatisfied with me for the past three years. It is only after I return all these things to you that I can come back to my family."

Sheryl heaved a deep sigh after hearing her reasons. She then said, "I will try my best to master the company management as soon as possible so that you can have more time with your family."

After lunch, Sheryl went to the site and monitored the worker's job. She also took that time to check whether there was anything that needed to be replaced in the location.

Helin was very specific with what she wanted with this birthday party. Although she couldn't give Helin what she 'exactly' wanted, she must at least make sure that the party site wouldn't disappoint her client. Everybody had kept working until midnight, including Sheryl. She was about to go home when she noticed a familiar man waiting for her by the door. It was Charles.

"Why are you here?" She walked briskly toward him with a big smile.

Seeing her bright face, Charles grinned back at her and replied, "My wife is still at work and hasn't come back. Thus, I have to come here and replace her."

Sheryl instantly explained, "The activity will be held tomorrow. However, the flowers can only be sent here tomorrow. It is the reason why I have to stay here. I need to make sure that all other things can be solved today. Otherwise, we'll be too pressured tomorrow."

"Okay. So are all other things finished?" Charles fondly touched Sheryl's hair and asked in a soft voice.

"It is almost completed. Let's go home." Sheryl gave him another big smile.

That made Charles hold Sheryl's hand and guide her over to their car. Although he had sent his men to protect Sheryl, he still felt uneasy, especially after yesterday's incident. Thus, he came here to pick her up himself.

He had his men check the car that followed Sheryl's car. It appeared that it was probably Ferry who was driving it. He honestly wanted to dig more but all the clues were wiped off so fast.

Ferry was a very dangerous man and Charles must do everything he could to protect Sheryl. It was only after Sheryl was safe that he could eliminate Ferry.

He had suffered a lot just to replace Sheryl again. He couldn't allow the same thing that happened three years ago to recur.

"Are you tired?" Charles glanced at his wife and asked worriedly. He had noticed how Sheryll exhaustedly closed her eyes and leaned back to the seat as soon as she got into the car.

"Yes," Sheryl replied and slightly nodded. She then said, "I am very busy with the company these past few days. I'm even having nightmares about the company's affairs during my sleep. I haven't had a good sleep for a long time."

"Would you like to resign?" Charles asked with furrowed eyebrows. Then he added confidently, "I can support you and give you everything. You don't even need to work for a living."

A soft smile instantly appeared on Sheryl's face because of Charles. Thus, she replied, "Everybody knows that you can support me. But a woman like me should have her own worth too."

She then continued, "Although my salary is far less than yours, it can still support me and my kids. That should be enough."

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to separate with me again?" Charles sharply turned to her and asked in an unhappy voice.

"No! Of course, not!" Charles' reaction got Sheryl surprised. Thus, she ended up turning to him immediately while furrowing her eyebrows. Sweet Jesus! How was she supposed to explain what she just said? A big smile suddenly cracked her lips. "I absolutely don't want to break up with you. However, if the day comes that I need to, at least I also have the capability to support our kids. I can't just stay at home. I don't want a huge gap between our statuses. Do you get what I mean?"

"That day will not come." Charles suddenly caught Sheryl's hand forcefully.

"What?" exclaimed Sheryl as she didn't understand what he just said.

Charles held Sheryl's hand tighter and repeated, "I said, I will not let the day when we have to separate with each other come."

He had waited for Sheryl for three years. He wanted to spend his life with Sheryl and not to separate with her again.

"I know. I don't have any plans of being separated from you too," she replied honestly.

Now that they had decided to be together forever, there wouldn't be anyone and anything that could separate them. That was an unwavering fact for Sheryl.
