She responded only after a while, "No. But she just left not long ago, in that direction..." Amos Granger rushed out of the building before the receptionist could finish speaking. It was only then when Clint Zuckerberg finally realized the food and drinks were brought by Eudora George! He said to the receptionist in a hurry, "Why didn't you ask her to stay? You could've asked her to wait in President Granger's office!" The receptionist widened her eyes in puzzlement, "Assistant Zuckerberg, who is that person? Why are you so nervous? President Granger too..." Clint said with a dark face, "How dare you ask such a stupid question!" The receptionist was so shocked that her jaw dropped, Clint immediately snapped, "You'd better keep your mouth shut!" "Yes!" The receptionist nodded her head. However, the receptionist was very excited as she thought to herself, 'Oh my God! That woman is my boss' future fiancee!" …... Eudora George saw Amos'
Clint Zuckerberg went into Amos Granger's office and said immediately, "President Granger, Miss George was scalded." Amos frowned as he said, "Get the doctor." "You don't have to do this!" Eudora George looked at them helplessly, "It's not too serious. I just need it to leave it under cold running water and apply some aloe vera gel afterwards." After that, she went into Amos' lounge alone. There was a restroom inside, where she could run her arm under cold water. The chicken soup wasn't boiling hot, hence she was not badly burned. Coming out from the restroom, Eudora heard Amos asking Clint, "How did it happen?" Clint shook his head and said, "I've no idea. Things had already happened when I saw her. I'll go check it out now." "There's no need!" Eudora said in a hurry. "It's just an accident. I'm really fine!" Amos grabbed Eudora's arm and looked at it, then nodded his head. "Please be more careful next time. You don't have to take
Eudora George was stunned. She didn't understand what Amos Granger meant. "I didn't eat anything there, as I'd promised to come back to have dinner with you." A grownup man like Amos was talking to her coquettishly, as if he was a child. Eudora's heart melted with his words. "I'll prepare it for you." Eudora said. "Let me help you." Amos said. Both of them brought the cold dishes into the kitchen together. After heating up the dishes, they sat down and ate together. However, both of them remained silent when they were eating. …... The next morning, Eudora handed over her design blueprint to the person in charge of the competition. She had finally accomplished this huge task, thus she felt very satisfied. The preliminary round of the selections would start tomorrow. After that, they would judge the design blueprints publicly on a TV program until they selected the top winner of this competition. Eudora seldom went to th
Eudora George pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to explain it to me. It has nothing to do with me." Eudora realized that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and there was only half an hour until the person in charge of the competition got off work. Eudora was anxious. She quickly made a phone call to the person in charge. "I'm sorry, something went wrong with my computer. I'm copying the files into the CD right now. Could you please wait for a while longer?" Eudora asked. "I'm sorry. I can't break the rules for you!" "I promise to send it over tonight..." Eudora said. However, the person had already hung up the phone before Eudora could finish speaking. When the call was disconnected, Eudora felt an unprecedented grief stirring in her heart. Eudora knew that she shouldn't be feeling this way. She had never expected anything from Amos the moment she got into a relationship with him. However, looking at the documents on th
The result of the selection was released three days later. As expected, Eudora George's design blueprint had been selected for the second round of the competition. A TV station collaborated with the organizer of the competition. Therefore, there would be a live broadcast for the second round. They even hired a few experienced designers to be the judges. Eudora was very nervous. She had already begun to recite her manuscript at home since a week ago. Amos Granger leaned against the sofa and looked at her, the smiles in his eyes grew wider. "Don't be nervous." he said. "Are you laughing at me? Did I say it in a trembling voice?" Eudora looked at him and asked, "What do I do? I couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of so many people in front of me." "Well, you can just pretend that they're me." Amos said. "But, you're not the audience!" Eudora frowned and said, "Also, there would be a lot of judges, and they are all experienced
The servant didn't dare to say anything further. She let Wendy Liam stay in the room alone. The next day, Wendy was lying on the bed with her eyes open when the servant entered her room. She hadn't slept all night. The servant brought some food to her and persuaded her to eat. "Miss Liam, please eat something!" "I don't want to eat!" Wendy stood up abruptly and poured the food directly onto the servant. The soup was boiling hot, and the servant was wearing thin clothes since it wasn't cold that day. The servant screamed and burst into tears of pain. Wendy suddenly realized that she had gotten herself into big trouble. She got up and grabbed the servant's hand in a haste. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'll take you to the hospital now." The servant however kept quiet. She felt very aggrieved. She took care of Wendy carefully every day, and never expected for herself to be tortured in this way. However, Wendy was worried about
Amos Granger stood by the bed looking at Wendy Liam, who was still in a coma. The servant was very scared, "Sir, Miss Liam didn't allow me to tell you about this. She doesn't want you to worry." Amos wanted to say something. However, Wendy, who was on the bed, opened her eyes slowly. Looking around her, she paused for a moment before saying, "What happened to me?" The doctor finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Seems like Miss Liam is much better now. There shouldn't be any serious problems." Amos looked at his wristwatch and found that the competition was over. Therefore, he didn't rush anymore, and turned to ask Wendy, "Why didn't you take care of yourself?" "I'm sorry, I really didn't want you to worry about me." Wendy said. Upon hearing this, Amos frowned. "Forget it. Get some rest. I still have something to do!" "Amos!" Wendy lifted the quilt immediately and caught up with him. She grabbed his arm. "You haven't c
"It's you!" Christopher Gellert put his hands into his trouser pockets. "I can't believe you're here, the competition is over already. Mr. Granger, are you that busy?" Amos Granger frowned and said, "How dare you take her to a place like this! I'll deal with you later!" "Oh, are you going to deal with me?" Christopher sneered. "Someone would've taken her away if it weren't for me! Do you even care about your girlfriend? Wouldn't it be better to end such a relationship sooner? Please stop wasting her time." After saying that, he turned around and left. Amos frowned. Eudora George was struggling in his arms. She fiddled around his chest with her hands. "Why is there a wall here?" She asked. Amos held her hands. "Stop it." Eudora finally saw his face clearly, and said, "Amos? You're finally here!" Amos was very displeased, "Why did you drink so much?" However, Eudora did not answer his question. She shook her head and said, "Nope. How
