The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 242

It's hard to deny that every company was eager to make money, but Autumn still hoped to finish this project despite the company being unable to make any profit from it. The reason was that this project could save Cloud Advertising Company from its bottleneck.

As long as she could finish this project, it was sure for Cloud Advertising Company to be well-known quickly. Autumn didn't hope all the effort of her employee would be cast to the winds, after all they had worked several nights to figure out the solutions.

'I need time alone to think things through, and to try and figure out a way to cut the cost effectively.' Autumn thought to herself.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. I will take care of it. You can go back to your work now, " said Autumn with a smile. She consoled Isla with a grin.

Autumn spent the whole afternoon worrying about the cost. When she was about to get off work, she received a call from Cindy. Hesitant, she finally answered the phone.

"Hello, Cindy! What's wrong?" Slowly yet softly, Autumn asked her, "Why are you calling me today?"

"Sister, I haven't seen you for many days. I miss you so much." said Cindy with a sad voice. Autumn could tell from her voice that she was upset. "My mom told me that you won't come to play with me anymore. Why? Don't you like me anymore?"

Autumn felt tears well up in her eyes as she heard this from the lovely, little girl. The sorrows surged up from the depths of her heart. It was no wonder why Cindy was intimate with Autumn when they met for the first time. Now it turned out that they were family and Cindy was actually her younger cousin.

"Cindy, listen to me. That is not true. I am just occupied by so much work recently, so I don't have time to see you. Be a good and obedient girl, okay? I promise that I will see you after I finish work, " said Autumn patiently since she didn't want to hurt her feelings. Autumn tried to comfort Cindy but she failed. "No. I want to see you now. I miss you so much. I want to play with you." Cindy insisted.

Cindy was her charming and adorable little self on the other end of the phone. When Autumn was about to say something, She heard Abby's voice in the background, "Cindy, who are you talking to?"

"Mom, I am talking to Autumn, " replied Cindy. The next second, Abby's voice was heard again, "Cindy, you..."

Abby heaved a sigh and then took the phone from Cindy. She then said to Autumn, "I am so sorry, Autumn. I hope she didn't bother you."

"No, she didn't. That's okay." Autumn felt it weird to hear Abby's voice now that she knew the relationship between them. "Is Cindy okay? She is not crying, is she?" Autumn asked.

"She is fine. Don't worry. She just asks me everyday to take her to you." Saying this, Abby smiled and went on, "Autumn, I..."

Hesitant, Abby paused. "Well, I will hang up if it's all right." Autumn was about to hang up the phone when Abby said all of a sudden, "Wait, please. Autumn, are you available today?

I actually want to meet and talk with you, " said Abby with hesitation. Autumn thought it over for a short while, then she agreed, but with some reluctance. "I am still not off work yet. How about meeting at seven o'clock at Collodi Restaurant?"

Autumn knew that Cindy liked eating the children's meal at Collodi Restaurant, so she decided to meet up there. Seeing the lovely girl made her happy.

"Okay. Your call. See you later then." Abby agreed and hung up the phone. Cindy asked eagerly, "Mom, when could I meet Sister Autumn again?" She asked while looking at Abby with expectant eyes.
