Judging from the situation, it seemed that the two of them must have quarreled. Amos, who was known to attach great importance to relationships, wouldnât have the time to interfere with them this time around.
Only he and Bethany would be left to fight the next day. Steven was not worried that Bethany had received the support of those old men in the company. After all, those old men valued profit above all else.
He would be able to bring a continuous flow of reputation and profits to the company if he could secure the collaboration with TAG Group.
Those old men could then clearly discern who would be the better fit between the two of them.
Thinking of this, Steven couldnât help but ask, âKesha, did you say that TAG Group could only get the contract signed with us tomorrow afternoon?â
âThatâs right!â Kesha replied.
She was extremely delighted. Truth be told, she had only managed to accomplish the mission thanks to her good sister, Eudora, this time.
The other party was looking for Eudora in the beginning. However, Eudora had been missing in action lately, hence they contacted her instead. After all, everyone knew that she was Eudoraâs biological younger sister!
Everything then happened naturally. The meeting she had with the other party went on smoothly and she eventually won their trust. After all, her innate ability to interact with men was just that formidable.
After that, they made an appointment to sign the contract the next afternoon.
Kesha believed that the other party would not renege on their offer. After all, the other party did mention that the project was very urgent. They had been keeping in touch with Eudora ever since she worked on that amusement park project with Steven. Coupled with the fact that a big company like Valiant East was supporting them, Kesha had full confidence in a successful collaboration.
Steven, on the other hand, was a little anxious. He asked, âCould we sign the contract today instead?â
The longer it was delayed, the more trouble could arise.
Kesha furrowed her eyebrows, replying, âYou donât seem to understand. These foreigners are very rigid in their ways of doing things. Itâs a holiday in their country, hence they are not working today. Itâs useless for me to contact them now. Donât worry, we will definitely win the project. Youâll attend the meeting tomorrow morning and weâll sign the contract in the afternoon, okay?â
Steven nodded. âOkay then.â
After that, Kesha reached out and touched Stevenâs chest again. She asked, âI heard that the doctor in the hospital was taken away by you. Good thinking this time, Steven.â
Steven once again pressed Kesha under his body, answering, âWell, I did learn it from the best. I couldnât possibly stay so ignorant especially when youâre so clever.â
Soon after that, they resumed their activities, filling the room with intimacy.
â¦
Eudora had slept through the afternoon, hence she was completely awake in the night.
She became unusually attentive. When Amos was having his meal, she rushed to help him with his cutlery. She then hurried to follow him around after he was done with his meal.
Amos could already guess that she was planning to head out to exercise or do something of the sort, thus he held back and said nothing.
Eudora seemed immersed in her thoughts moments later and she almost fell after knocking into him. Amos was startled, and he immediately helped her to sit on the couch.
âEudora, what are you trying to do?â
Eudora looked at him in surprise and asked, âWas it that obvious?â
How could he not know? Her every thought and emotion was written all over her face.
âYou canât go out to exercise. Itâs already too late now. Itâs fine if you feel like taking a walk.â
âNo, no!â Eudora waved her hand hurriedly, saying, âIâm very well-behaved!â
Charlie and the rest were speechless as they looked at the mess in the room and the white lilies in the garden. Who was she kidding?
Amos didnât expose her. He just responded to her with a faint âhmâ.
Eudora spoke again, âWell, actually, I did tell you this earlier, didnât I? I want to think of a way to redecorate this room myself!â
Amos nodded and replied, âWell, just ask Charlie if you need to buy anything.â
âI donât care much about buying stuff. I want to redesign it. I want to draw a blueprint, but youâve already put my laptop awayâ¦â
Her voice became weaker as she spoke, but there was still a hint of a small protest.
Amos frowned immediately and rejected, âNo! The laptop has radiation coming from it. You canât have it back!â
âIâll just use it for a while, and Iâve already checked it online. Radiation from a laptop isnât very high! Besides, Iâm not playing games or anything on it Iâll be working,â Eudora explained.
âAbsolutely notâ¦â Amos said firmly.
Wesley, who was standing next to them, whispered to Charlie, âLetâs make a bet. When do you think heâll cave in?â
Charlie shook his head, âProbably no more than five minutes.â
Wesley laughed, âThatâs not necessarily true. Mr. Granger seems very determined this time. Donât you see it? He said that the laptop has radiation. Iâm sure that he wonât give in so easily this time!â
âWhat are we betting on?â
âHow about that personal custom-made gun of yours?â
âAnd if you lose?â
âIâll give you whatever you want!â
âOkay! Deal!â They then looked at the direction of Amos and Eudora with their full attention again.
Amosâ face darkened, âDid you use your mobile phone just now?â
Eudora covered her face. When she saw that Amos was not around just now, she had secretly called Juju to cover her as she looked through her mobile phone.
âI only used it for two minutesâ¦â
Amos frowned and he stood up to take away her mobile phone, âYou are not allowed to play with your mobile phone in the future.â
âAmosâ¦â Eudora complained like a kid, âYouâre so cruel. Iâll be bored to death!â
âIâll keep you company then!â
âI donât want you to keep me company. I want to make more designs!â
Amos sighed, âBe a good girl. Juju is looking at you.â
Only then did Eudora notice that Juju was looking at her from the side. When Juju realized that their attention was on her all of a sudden, she hastily pretended that she hadnât seen or heard anything and asked, âUncle Charlie, have you seen my pen?â
Charlie was amused by Jujuâs quick thinking.
âItâs over here!â
After Juju left, Eudora shouted, âAmos, are you really not going to let me use the laptop? Iâm going to cry!â
âEudoraâ¦â
The next second, Eudora pursed her lips and whined, âWhatâs the point of staying alive? I canât play anything, I canât even design anything. I donât want toâ¦â Before she could even finish saying âlive anymoreâ, Amos had already caved.
âFine! Iâll let you use it!â
Charlie smiled at Wesley, âThree minutes, not even five minutes.â
Wesley sighed, âMr. Granger, you are not being a good example to us men!â He beat his chest and stomped his feet.
Meanwhile, Amos was still trying to reason with Eudora, âYou are only allowed to use your phone half an hour every time. After that, youâll have to come out and take a walk.â
âAlright!â
Eudora had already turned and run away. The next second, Amos stopped her again. âDonât run, walk slowlyâ¦â
âOh!â Eudora couldnât hold back her excitement. She walked upstairs slowly and excitedly.
After she left, Amos called Charlie again, âGet something that is radiation-proof for me.â
Charlie was stunned. He asked, âRadiation-proof?â He didnât know what that was. He was a man, and he wouldnât care about this kind of thing.
Cindy seemed to have recalled something, and she answered, âI heard that cacti could block radiation, and there are also radiation-proof clothes that pregnant women wearâ¦â
âGo and buy it then!â Amos said.
Charlie nodded and asked, âHow many do you want?â
Amos did not hesitate, âAs many as they have!â
