The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 293

'Why is Autumn's scheme not the same as the one I have?' Paula was wild with confusion, hands clenched into fists, breathing heavily.

"I admit that Miss Ye did a good job today But..." Bill stopped with a scoff. "Who knows if she stole this idea from someone else again? Our proposal is just as good. Compared to Cloud Advertising Company, it's safer for you to work with us. Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

Andy only responded with a sniff. He leaned his head backward and whispered in Coco's ear. He spoke in an extreme low voice that even Bill near to him couldn't make it out.

"Mr. Xu said that the previous rules are invalid and Cloud Advertising Company shall, from here forth, be in charge of the projects for Giant Promise Company directly, " Coco declared, as she nodded at Andy and stood up.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, " Autumn said to Andy. "I hope that we'll have a harmonious and long running cooperation, " she continued, offering her hand.

"I look forward to that." Andy returned, getting up and shaking hands with Autumn. When he was about to leave, Bill and Paula stopped him.

"Mr. Xu, what did you just do? Why did you abandon the previous rules?" Bill asked Andy visibly upset. "It's not fair to us."

"He is right, Mr. Lu, this is unfair, " Paula seconded, stepping forward. 'Although Autumn's proposal is better than mine, I still stand a chance to get this case. But now Andy changed the rules suddenly, ' Paula mused.

"You take her side only because of your relationship. This is unjust for us and downright unprofessional. We had worked overtime on this scheme. I can't accept your decision." Paula continued, crossing her arms.

When the rest heard this, they scornfully stared at Paula.

"It's true that Miss Ye is my relation. But if I really was partial to her, this meeting wouldn't have been necessary. Miss Pan, I think that you know it better than anyone else whether you actually worked extra hours on this scheme or not." Andy retorted.

"What do you mean?" Paula scowled at Andy. 'Has Andy learnt that I stole this scheme from Autumn? That's not gonna happen, ' she assured herself, but in vain. She could hear the blood pumping in her head.

"Miss Pan, I think it's better for you to stop digging further. Otherwise you'll put yourself in an very awkward situation, " Andy replied coldly.

"We are not over yet. You must make it clear to me today." Bill grabbed Andy's arm. "You said before that this was a fair and open competition. But now you broke your word."

"Miss Pan, do you really want me to tell you the real reason why I didn't choose you?" Andy asked Paula with displeasure. Andy didn't want to push her too hard. After all, she was a woman.

All of a sudden, Paula's face turned deathly pale. There were two voices arguing in her mind. In the end, she resolved to take the risk. "Yes. I want to know the reason, " she challenged.

"Anyway, I have the right to know why I lost."

"I suggest you'd better stop now. Otherwise you will regret your decision, " Isla said to Paula.
