The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 19

Ryan selected a music restaurant where the delicious food was integrated with soothing music. The atmosphere there was excellent with singers singing on the stage. It was a famous place for artistic youth in the Y city. Those people who had never experienced night life must definitely come here. It was great fun enjoying a show while eating.

The colleagues went on chatting and gossiping. They talked about everything from celebrities's scandals to the skin care products that worked well for them. However, Autumn was not interested in all these topics at all, so she just stared at the singer silently.

His voice was husky and soothing at the same time. People would unconsciously indulge in it.

Autumn's eyes were fixated on the singer. She didn't even notice that a tall man walked in through the door. He looked around the restaurant and finally cast his eyes on Autumn. He finally stepped forth and sat down at a corner of the restaurant.

He saw that she was sitting there silently regardless of the noisy environment around. Though she looked interested in the music, her mind was preoccupied. She was not willing to blend in with the surroundings. This was why she became a unique existence to be seen at the first glance amongst the crowd.

As soon as the dishes were served, Paula poured a glass of whisky for Autumn. "You have to drink it. If it were not for you, we wouldn't have got the case from Shining Company. So I have to propose a toast to you on behalf of everyone in the company. You have made sure our efforts do not go in vain." Paula said with a smile.

Autumn frowned slightly and replied,"But I can't drink."

After hearing this, Paula smiled and said,"Nobody is born with the ability to drink. You are our leading lady tonight. If you refuse to drink, how can we enjoy the meal? "

"Yes, she is right, Ye." Leila also echoed. "Why not drink? We will take you back home if you are drunk. "

Autumn looked at the glass of whiskey in hand and hesitated for a little while. "What's wrong? Why are you reluctant to drink?" Ryan said in a voice full of sarcasm. "

Hearing Ryan's words, Autumn was suffused with sadness. So she raised her head and emptied the glass of whiskey in one shot. She soon felt a fire in her belly.

Seeing this, the man sitting at the corner of the restaurant frowned.

However, as she finished the first glass of whiskey, everyone else joined in to propose a toast to her. It looked as if it was some kind of a plan. Autumn didn't decline their toasts and tossed off the glasses.

After three rounds of drinking, Autumn felt dizzy. She held her head and sat on the couch. Her body felt weak.

Ryan cleared his throat with a glass of wine in hand and said,"Everybody......"

"I am sure that everyone here knows that the position of planning director has been vacant for a long time. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to announce the new planning director." Everyone turned their eyes to Autumn as soon as Ryan finished his words. In their opinion, it was natural for her to be the planning director since fame always followed merits.

Paula clenched her hand into a fist, because she was extremely nervous about this big announcement.

Ryan took a glance at Autumn, but finally looked at Paula. "Paula has been in our company for so many years. Though she is not the most brilliant one here, she is experienced and I think for the position of the planing director...... Nobody else is worthy except her."

"What?"

"What is going on? How could it be her?"

"Yeah, what about Ye?"

As soon as Ryan finished his words, Autumn stood up abruptly. Everyone thought that she was unhappy about the decision, but rather she just smiled and said,"I am sorry. I have to go to the toilet."

She didn't feel uncomfortable when she started drinking, but now she felt sick in the stomach because of the strong alcoholic content in her body.
