The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 255

Hoada Masahiro was waiting for Autumn at the entrance of the elevator, "Miss Ye, are you ready for today's presentation?"

"Well prepared!" Autumn nodded confidently.

"Today's proposal was intended to be about the decision-making of the public relations department, and surprisingly, it involves the judgement of the President. Thus it is more important to require your most careful and meticulous attention." Hoada Masahiro was nervous with sweat forming over his forehead, little expecting the presence of the President who took him by surprise. This made him question his own confidence in Autumn.

His career promotion depended on this presentation and it must be executed flawlessly.

"Miss Ye, this matter will make a major difference to my career. If you deliver a wonderful presentation today, you will be richly rewarded, otherwise, this may be the end for both of us." Hoada Masahiro told Autumn of the resulting consequence beforehand.

"You can put your mind to rest." Autumn replied with a gentle smile, "Let's go for it."

Autumn thought she had left nothing to chance, however, upon entering the meeting room.... she noticed the rather damp atmosphere there.

French windows were set on every side, the sunshine was slanting to create a warm glow and the oval meeting table was packed with participants, leaving a narrow space for her to pass through.

A grey-haired and hearty old gentleman occupied the first chair. His sharp and piercing eyes awed and intimidated everyone else in the room.

What Autumn least expected was to run into an old enemy there.

In the room, Autumn was greeted with Paula's sneer which caught Autumn a bit off guard.

"Autumn, take a seat here." Paula motioned Autumn to sit beside her with fake enthusiasm.

Autumn found it hard to decline Paula's offer, and Paula edged toward Autumn and then spoke sarcastically, "It has been long time since our parting."

"A long time, definitely." Autumn still managed a smile. "A big surprise to see you here."

"As I have told you previously, there will be a showdown between us. Autumn, all you have is an influential and wealthy husband! Know that I will beat you with my competence and ability today. I am superior to you because I rely on my own strength while you are nothing but Charles's mistress." Paula didn't stop her tirades.

Paula fully knew what she had done to get such an opportunity, but... before Autumn, she would not give in.

"I should remind you of one thing." Autumn shot back at Paula with full confidence, "I will ignore what you have just said, but your slander and lies are beyond what I can tolerate. Now keep in your mind that now I am Charles's legal wife. It is best for you to treat me with due respect and regard."
