The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 289

Easier said than done. Although Leila lectured her former colleague to mind her own business, she couldn't resist her own curiosity. She couldn't help but fix her eyes on the glass door of the meeting room, eager to know what was happening inside.

She expected to see some fight and hear some yelling. But to her disappointment, the conference room was quiet.

Autumn sat twirling her ball-point pen between her fingers, while Jane sitting opposite her wore an embarrassed expression.

Both of them kept silent.

Autumn didn't know what to say, and she even regretted letting Jane enter the company premises. Jane didn't know how to apologize to Autumn.

When she came home from Autumn's company the other day, Sam had big fight with her. "Mom, why do you insist that Little Ye and I have a thing? Did anyone say anything to you?" Sam couldn't help raising his voice at his own mother.

Not until at that time did she realize that she might have really misunderstood Autumn.

After reflecting on what had happened, she recalled that it was Wendy who fed her the news that Autumn and Sam got together again.

She believed Wendy as she was Autumn's mother.

"Miss... Ye, " Jane opened her mouth after hesitating for quite a while. "I'm sorry for what I had done to you the other day."

In Autumn's eyes, Jane was a proud woman. It was impossible for her to make an apology. Therefore, when Autumn heard her words, she was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. "Pardon... me?" she asked dumbfounded.

"I apologize for my rudeness and lack of class, " Jane explained. "Don't look at me with your amazed eyes. No one is perfect and I make mistakes too. Now that I know I misjudged you, I should acknowledge it. Is there anything wrong about that?" Jane chuckled, as she caught sight of Autumn's surprised look.

"Of course not, " Autumn answered, withdrawing her eyes from Jane. And just like that, she found herself looking at that gentle Jane who had treated her well when she was a little girl. Thinking of what had happened between them, Autumn felt slightly sad. "It's the first time that you have acted like this since I met you, " Autumn said in a soft tone.

"Hmm, that's true, " Jane smiled in agreement. "I have been proud and arrogant my whole life and I was never expected to bow to others."

"Is that why you came to me?" Autumn asked. "There is no need for you to come to apologize to me. I didn't give much thought to that."

'Mothers all want their children to find a suitable bride or groom. As I failed to live up to Jane's expectation, it's natural for her to oppose our relationship. I don't blame her at all.

Now I live a happy life and I have already let it go.' thought Autumn to herself.

Jane stared at Autumn in surprise. She had thought that Autumn must be mad at her. She could even give her a hard time after what she had done to her that day.

Before coming here, she had prepared to be treated with hostility. However, Autumn just said now that she didn't blame her and understood her.
