Chapter 32
Amos Granger was stunned. After a moment, he turned to look at the little woman with eager eyes.
"I will support you. You don't need to work," Amos said.
Eudora George knew that he would say that. Being a person he is, he wouldn't allow her to go out and work. However, Eudora knew this was something she had to do.
Eudora softened her voice. "It's not the same! I've wasted three years in the Meyer family doing nothing! I am so detached from everything. I want to know more about the outside world, even if... it's for you." Amos narrowed his eyes. "For me?"
"It's all for you. If I can go out to work, maybe we can have more to talk about. You can finally share your troubles with me," Eudora said.
Amos' lips curled into an amused smile. "Little fox, when did you become such a sweet-talker?"
Although he knew that it was just an excuse to go out, he was pleased.
"I'm sincere!" Eudora insisted.
Amos put out the cigarette in his hand and rolled over, pressing her down.
"Let's see how sincere you are," Amos teased.
Eudora pursed her lips at the face bearing down on her. She raised her head and kissed his cheek.
Amos couldn't help but laugh at her clumsy gesture. "That's it?"
With one hand free, he pointed to his lips and said, "Do it like how I usually do."
Eudora frowned. She looked as if she was trying to recall what he meant, while hesitating to do it or not. The next second, her cheeks turned red, her eyes closed, and she moved to meet Amos' lips.
She had little practice at this. She smooched his lips twice and her face was already crimson, even her skin had a faint pink color.
But she didn't know that it was her innocent look that aroused him.
Her lips lingered for awhile before she retreated. "Is this..." His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss her before she could finish the sentence.
His every move was detailed, almost like he was guiding and teaching her. After he finished, he stopped for two seconds, giving Eudora a chance to breathe.
He waited till he had his fill and then looked at her with a smile. "Did you learn it?"
It took a moment for Eudora to respond. "What?" She was still in a daze.
"It seems that you still haven't learned it..." His voice was low and hoarse.
"No, no, no! I learned it!" Eudora pleaded.
"Have you really learned it? Then give it a try." Amos ordered. "Ah?" Eudora rubbed her sore waist, her naked back completely exposed to Amos. "Can I do it tomorrow?" "Are you really that tired?" Amos covered her with the quilt and got out of bed. "Alright then."
Knowing that Amos was about to leave, Eudora asked hurriedly, "Then I..."
"The company is about to recruit full-time staff. You can hand in your resume if you want. I will ask Clint to settle it," Amos said curtly.
"Really?" Eudora was overjoyed. She jumped out of bed and hugged Amos' thin waist from behind. "Thank you!"
Her bare chest pressed against his back. Amos' eyes darkened. "You asked for it this time."
Eudora was taken aback. She turned around and tried to run, but was pulled back by Amos.
Sunlight shone through the window as the sun set. Eudora rubbed her waist and got out of bed again.
Although Amos did not let her off easy, she was happy just to work.
The next day, Eudora handed in her resume. Not only that, she also handed in the resume for the Gellert family's Everpeace Group. After Everpeace was acquired by the Gellert family, it resumed its operation but no longer belonged to the George family.
If only she could go to Everpeace Group to look after her late-mother's treasured company. In the Valiant East Group.
In the spacious president's office, Harley Louis stood at the table as if he was scrutinizing some peculiar artifact. He stared at Amos Granger's face for a long time.
Amos frowned and threw the document in his hand to him.
"Are you done looking at me?" Amos asked.
"Hey, Clint told me that you didn't come into office yesterday but I didn't believe it. Now that I've seen you, I believe it!" Harley said.
Amos remained calm and collected. "Why?"
"Because you're in such a good mood today, so full of energy. I assume you had a great time yesterday?" Harley said suggestively.
"Shut up!" Amos wasn't in the mood to deal with him. "What do you want from me?"
"Oh, nothing much. Remember when you got beaten up? Turns out it was the old man's little brother's work."
Old Master Granger had a younger brother, Amos' Second Uncle. He had always coveted Amos' power. Amos was not surprised at all, he had already guessed it long time ago. "What are you going to do?" Harley asked.
"What else can we do? The old fox will definitely not leave any trace behind. However, as time goes by, he would definitely let the cat out of the bag." Amos said.
As he spoke, Clint Zuckerberg pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Granger, Old Master Granger asked you to go back for dinner tonight!"
Harley raised his eyebrows. "Dinner? It seems that your uncle has come up with another trick! What's his purpose?"
Clint agreed. "And I heard that Miss Cooper is back."
Harley was thrilled. "Samantha Cooper? Your second uncle's adopted daughter who likes you? She has no regard for rank! He actually asked you to go back the moment she's back. I guess there will be a good show tonight."
Amos frowned. "Don't you have anything else to do?"
Harley rolled his eyes. "You are angry when I care about you. How ungrateful." he teased.
Clint was speechless and thought. "Have you considered my feelings?"
After Harley left. Clint thought about it and decided it was dangerous to let his boss go back by himself. "Why don't I accompany you tonight?"
"Okay!" He thought about it for a while and called Eudora.
Eudora George was still wondering what to cook when her thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. She just cooked some noodles and went upstairs to read a book.
She was going to start work soon. If they were going to interview her, it would be best to be prepared.
By the time she finished her book, it was already dark outside.
Eudora heard the sound of the car engine revving into the house and made her way downstairs.
Amos leaned on Clint as he carried him in, with a nervous look on his face. "Miss George..."
Eudora hurried over and saw that Amos' face was flushed and his neck and face were covered with red rashes. "What's wrong?"
Eudora helped him lay Amos on the sofa. Only then did he explain, "The medication has run out. I'll go to Mr. Louis immediately. Please take care of President Granger first."
He took two steps then turned back and said, "If President Granger starts smashing things, you should get as far away as possible and be careful not to get hurt."
Eudora did not understand what he meant at all. Why would Amos smash anything?
