The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 294

"Come on, let's just leave. There's no point in arguing with such an unreasonable woman."

Autumn decided it wasn't worth continuing a conversation with Paula seeing as she hasn't done anything but put all the blame on her.

"Stop! You have to settle this matter right now or else you'll regret it, "

Paula said, standing in front of them in an attempt to exert menace and might upon them.

"You don't really want to let us go, do you? Tell me. How far do you want this to go?" Autumn asked, growing impatient by the minute.

"How dare you evolve such an evil scheme to me?" Paula spoke harshly. Paula, overwhelmed by a sense of distress, became fully unaware of her due punishment.

"You're the one who stole my proposal and yet you're the one who has the gall to demand an explanation now? Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Autumn scoffed, unable to hide her sarcasm.

She couldn't accept the fact that Paula continued to act so arrogantly and willfully to bring many a good problem upon her.

"Have you planned this with Andy in a conniving manner?

Have you guys grown tired of being in such a relationship made unknown to others?"

Appalled by Autumn's question, Paula replied with a sneer.

"Did Charles left you so sexually unsatisfied that you decided to just be a dirty slut?"

Unable to contain her rage, Autumn's hand shot out, before Paula could even see it, slapping across her face.

"I won't think twice in doing that again if you dare smear my name."

Autumn believed it was just reasonable to express her indignation.

"Why? Are you angry at me for saying the truth?" Paula said, trying to appear unfazed as she felt her face.

"You think I don't know? I've heard the conversation between you and Hoada Masahiro at the restroom. You just won the Japanese case by deceit." Paula's face turned pale, shocked by Autumn's revelation.

"You…You were there the other day…"

She stammered, unable to find words.

"Go on, then. If you keep on spreading lies about me, I will make sure that I'm going to reveal your prized secret to everyone you know, " Autumn said, her words heavily laden with a threat.

This scared Paula into keeping silent.

"You know what? Since I'm such a good person, I might as well try to come up with a solution for you, " she said, sarcasm apparent in her tone. "I was reviewing the proposal in your hands when Leila came to steal upon your order yesterday. Unfortunately, she stole the outdated one. Now you know who to blame, " she told her with a smirk.

"I'll make sure that I'm going to publicize what you have done if I see you ever again, " Autumn said just as she was about to leave with Isla, threatening her on purpose.

"You…"

Paula stared at Autumn worriedly as she left, feeling extremely hopeless to receive such a threat.

She had no idea how to fix her problem.

She was so overcome with the loss of her job and the risk of compensation liability. With Autumn's threat adding to the mix, she couldn't help but feel utterly defeated.

After walking out of the entrance of Giant Promise Company, Paula received the call from Leila. "How is our plan going? I expect our plan's success!"

Still left in the dark, Leila grinned at the other end of the line, expecting Autumn's distress.

"Success?" Paula scoffed, clearly annoyed.

If Leila didn't steal the wrong proposal, she wouldn't end up losing the game.
