The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 863 Obscure Relationship

"Really?" Sheryl looked at Sue suspiciously. She hesitated for a while and then said, "Sue, why don't you have a medical check-up in the hospital? I think it's necessary." "Don't worry, I'm pretty good," Sue replied with a smile. Seeing a concerned looked on Sheryl's face, Sue told her reassuringly, "I'm really fine. There's nothing to worry." "It's still better to have a medical examination so we can set our heart at rest," said Sheryl.

"Seriously, there's no problem as I really feel good." Sue continued, "I know my own body condition better than anyone. I will tell you immediately if I'm not feeling well."

"Fine, as you said." Sheryl did not think much about it. She faced Sue and said, "Just tell us immediately if you don't feel well. Don't hesitate, okay?"

"I get it." Sue nodded slightly as Sheryl decided to take her home. She felt dizzy since she had drunk the night before. Meanwhile, Sheryl told her to go upstairs to rest. She felt a bit uncomfortable since Shirley went to school.

Sheryl accompanied Amy for a chat. She was left with nothing to do since everyone went to work.

Suddenly, she felt dullness in her life. She really missed the life when she was still in Cloud Advertising Company.

She had always been busy from day to night back then, though, she had still felt happy and satisfied.

It seemed that she really have to reconsider Isla's advice.

Just as she thought of Isla, the phone on the tea table rang. She looked at it and then laughed upon the thought of telepathic communication.

"What a coincidence! I was thinking of the advice you gave me when you called," Sheryl said as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Really?" Isla replied and laughed over the phone. But, her tone changed as she remembered her reason for calling. "Sher, I'm afraid that... there is no time for you to think about it now."

"What's wrong? Is something happened?" Sheryl froze for a moment and anxiously asked Isla over the phone.

"Okay, here's the thing." Isla sighed and said, "I know for sure you are aware that September and October are the best seasons for our industry to make profits. We have received a few cases at the beginning

of September. I'm in charge of a case we received yesterday. So, I made a plan overnight and sent it to the client. However, they were not satisfied with it. I have no idea where they got the news but they want you to be the one to work on the case personally. I don't know what step to take. That's why I called you."

Isla forced a smile and continued, "Every one of us is responsible for a few cases. We are all fully occupied with tasks."

Isla sighed and added, "Sher, remember that this is your company. You can't... just relax and watch us get busy as we struggle. Can you?"

"Well... Can't you just pull out a few cases?" Sheryl frowned while she asked Isla.

"No." Isla uttered slightly, "They are all long-established customers. We are the one they trust to handle their cases. We can't just tell them that we won't work with you from now on." "But I..." Feeling lost, Sheryl couldn't think of a move.

"Alright Sher, I have an idea." Isla went on, "Since you are free right now, I will email you the details of that. Could you please handle the case for me? We can talk about the rest later. Are you okay with that?" "I'll do it?" Sheryl hesitated before she proceeded, "How could it possible? It has been years since the last time I did this kind of work. I'm afraid..."

"I believe you can do it," Isla interrupted before Sheryl could finish. "Even though you haven't been in the industry for three years, I believe in your knowledge and skills. I know you can come up with a good plan."

Knowing that Sheryl was still in hesitation, she continued, "I know you can't just sit there and watch us do all these things. Please, help us. We need you."

Unable to endure Isla's enticement, Sheryl finally agreed. She returned to their conversation and said, "Alright. But the only assurance I can give you is that I'll do my best."

"Okay, there's no problem as long as you will try. I will send you the important documents right now." Isla hung up the phone as she finished. After that, Sheryl received an email within a minute. She thought of the plan she had done before. Then she looked through that plan and searched for some information about the real estate and found out their preferences. Finally, she worked out a plan overnight.

When Sue woke up, she went downstairs to see Sheryl busy with her laptop. She went up to look and asked, "Hi Sher, it seems that you're busy. What are you doing?"

"I'm doing a plan," Sheryl replied straightly. "There is food in the fridge. You can heat some if you want to eat. I didn't bother you when I saw you sleeping soundly."

"Okay, sure." Sue nodded on Sheryl's statement. She was aware that Sheryl did this before she lost her memory. Thus, she did not bother to ask more.

Sue was about to eat the food she just warmed when the phone rang. She picked up Peggy's call. "Come back home as soon as possible. I have something to tell you," Peggy said hurriedly.

"Why not now? You can tell me on the phone," Sue answered faintly. "Is there any need to go home?"

"You'd better come home. It's not a simple matter as you think," Peggy declared.

Sue frowned tightly as she hesitated for a while. She then said. "Okay, I'll get home right away."

After hanging up the phone, Sue lost her appetite to eat so she packed up and went back to the apartment. As soon as she entered, she hastily asked Peggy with a cold expression, "Now, tell me. Why did you call me?"

"Well, you tell me. What's the relationship between you and Anthony?" Peggy asked Sue seriously.

"What the hell! Is that what you want to know for calling me?" Sue said impatiently. "Didn't I explain our relationship to you? What else do you want to know? Tell me about it exactly."

"Sue, I've known this. Do you really think I will believe your statement? Obviously there is something going on between the two of you." Peggy unwillingly smiled at Sue and said, "You are afraid that I would bother him so you hide it. Am I right?"

"Oh, you're wrong about that." Sue sneered and said, "There's nothing going on between us. Why would I be afraid of the trouble you can cause him?" "Nothing? Do you think we will buy that?" Doris, who stood beside Peggy, said, "Be frank, you are reluctant that we will ask money from him, right?" "You shut up!" Sue said coldly. "Who gave you the right to judge here?"

"Allen, see..." Doris turned to Allen who was beside her. She said unhappily, "Do I have the right to speak in the family?"
