The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 291

"I know that you'll present your proposal first. So what?" Autumn asked, puzzled and cast a sidelong glance at Paula.

"Autumn, if I were you, I would drop out of the bidding now, lest it should be a disgrace." Paula taunted, smiling as if she had already won. "As a planner who is famous for copying, you have the gall to compete with Dark Blue Company! That's ridiculous. I'm telling you, Cloud Advertising Company's reputation has been irreparably tarnished. Thanks to you."

"Get your mind out of the gutter." Isla angrily stepped forward and ready to claw out at Paula but Autumn stopped her. Autumn looked at Paula coldly and said, "Paula, we compete with schemes and ideas, not lip service. What advantage do you get by mocking me? Stop dreaming!"

Then Autumn stepped closer. "Don't forget that you never beat me when we were at Cloud Advertising Company. Would you like me to recall it for you?"

"You... " Paula gritted her teeth furiously because what Autumn said was a fact that she could not refute. But she calmed down and said, "Don't count the chicks before they hatch. Let's wait and see who wins."

"Yeah, we'll see." Autumn replied confidently and pulled Isla away. Watching them go, Paula fiercely called out, "Humph, you're gonna be the ones who'll end up looking like trash today."

"Gosh, Paula is everywhere and constantly on you!" Isla said helplessly. "I warned you to be on your guard against her, but I didn't expect her to come after you all the time."

"I'm okay." Autumn smiled and said, "She just bickers with me once in a while. But she never really wins. I have nothing to lose."

"I just can't stand her attitude towards you." Isla complained.

Autumn held her hand, and soothed her, "Come on, don't let her get to you. It doesn't even work on me." Then she quickly put on a cunning smile and changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, why did you ask for a leave yesterday?"

"I... " Isla turned red and hesitated. Finally she said, "I had something to deal with... "

"What is it?" Autumn persisted in probing, making Isla's face even redder.

Then she stammered, "It's... It's about Aron. He was in the hospital yesterday and I went to look after him." Last night, Aron insisted that she went home. This morning, she got up early and came directly to Giant Promise Company. She was worried about him.

"Didn't you say you would never be with him again? It hasn't been long. Or, have you forgotten that?" Autumn was delighted to know that they were getting back together, but couldn't help making fun of Isla.

"Autumn... " Isla was getting annoyed and elbowed her.

As they were talking, Andy came. Seeing Autumn, he went straight to her and greeted her, "Hi, Autumn, why are you here in person today?"

"I was abroad when the previous proposals were made. That's why I couldn't come then, " Autumn replied with a smile. "I'm back now, so I came. I wanted show the importance my company attaches to this proposal."

Andy let out?a debonair laugh and said, "After the proposal, you can come home with me. Your grandparents are looking forward to your visit."

"Okay." Autumn slightly nodded. Seeing Andy and Autumn having a friendly familiar chat, all the people present speculated on what relationship Autumn and Andy may have.
