Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Get Yourself A Backup Plan

Although Eudora George knew that Amos Granger was only helping the woman to treat her medical condition, she still couldn’t accept the fact that her man was getting involved with another woman like this.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she might still be able tolerate with it.

“Okay.” Amos responded. He did not make things difficult for her. In fact, he knew that putting the three of them together would just turn things into a ridiculous show.

After remaining silent for a while, Amos took Eudora’s hand to have breakfast together.

……

Eudora finally had a rough idea for her design blueprints. Therefore, she had spent her time working either at the construction site or at her office for the next few days.

She even continued with her design blueprints in her room when she reached home.

The house was finally looking a little more lively when Amos came back.

On Friday afternoon, Christopher Gellert asked Eudora in a mysterious tone, “Are you free tomorrow? I want you to meet someone.”

“Who is it?” Eudora asked.

“She’s a friend of mine, the organizer of this design competition. I mentioned you when I was talking to her that day, and she is very interested in you. Anyway, let’s just have a meal together.”

Upon hearing this, Eudora frowned and said, “Wouldn’t that be inappropriate? I’m afraid the result of the competition will be biased.”

“What bias?” Christopher got a little infuriated. “I’m helping you to widen your connections. Do you understand? It’s good for you to know more people. By doing so, you’d have a backup plan even if you don’t win the competition! Do you want to rely on Amos forever? When he can’t even admit your relationship…”

All of a sudden, Christopher stopped talking.

He took a deep breath when he realized Eudora’s body had stiffened. “I’m sorry, I went overboard.” He said.

Eudora shook her head and said, “You’re right! I do need a backup plan for myself. You mentioned Saturday, right? Where are we going to meet your friend?”

Upon hearing this, Christopher was instantly overjoyed and he said, “We’ll meet her at Rosaville City Hotel!”

“Okay, see you tomorrow!” After saying that, Eudora packed her things and left.

…

On the weekend.

Rosaville City Hotel.

Everything was going smoothly because Christopher was there.

Eudora shared her design ideas to Christopher’s friend, which left a good impression on the person.

In the end, the person laughed and said, “If you weren’t working for Christopher, I would’ve really asked you to work with me.”

It was obvious that the person was just joking. However, Eudora smiled and said, “I promised President Gellert that I would never leave his company.”

Upon hearing this, Christopher was on cloud nine.

“You can’t take back your words, Eudora!”

Eudora was helpless. She said, “Yes boss!”

“Hey, why would you call me ‘boss’? I don’t like how it sounds! But anyway, are you free today? There’s an arcade upstairs, shall we play some games together?”

Eudora shook her head and said, “I don’t know how to play games.”

She had been a housewife all these years. How would she know how to play games?

“It doesn’t matter, I can teach you!” After saying that, Christopher pulled Eudora upstairs.

Eudora really didn’t want to go. All of a sudden, someone shouted, “It’s you!”

“What a coincidence! Are you here to attend the gathering?”

Eudora and Christopher looked over immediately. They saw Wendy Liam coming out from a big private room, wearing a red dress.

There were a lot of people inside. Eudora instantly spotted Amos sitting inside the room. He was also looking at Eudora at that moment.

Eudora pulled her hand away from Christopher and said, “Uh no. We have something else to do.”

“Come on! Don’t be like this!” After saying that, Wendy had already grabbed Eudora’s arm to pull her into the room.

Wendy was chatting happily while they were walking into the room.

“I was so sad when you rejected my invitation last time! Fortunately, you’re here now. I really like you. I want to be friends with you.”

Upon hearing this, Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She said, “Sorry, I’m not here to…”

“It doesn’t matter! Please come in and have a chat with us since you’re here! There are a lot of people here from Valiant East. I heard that you’re a designer too, right? I like designing clothes, and I wanted to learn fashion design initially. But, Amos was afraid that my condition would get worse if he asked someone else to…”

Wendy was having chattering away, but Eudora had her fists clenched, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Christopher frowned. He walked over and grabbed Eudora’s arm. He said, “Aren’t we going to the arcade? Let’s go!”

Eudora came back to her senses and responded, “Oh, right!”

She didn’t want to go to the arcade. But she still felt that that would be a better option than staying in the room.

Wendy was disappointed. “Oh I didn’t know you had other plans! I’m so sorry for wasting your time.”

Eudora ignored her and left directly.

Wendy turned her head only after the two were long gone. Amos had already came out and was standing right behind her.

Wendy said without further thought, “Look at how happy they are! They’re even holding hands to go to the arcade together. They were also together when we met them last time! They must be lovers, right?”

Amos frowned. He was staring at Christopher’s hand, which was holding on to Eudora’s.

Wendy wanted to hold Amos’ hand when he didn’t give her any response. However, Amos put his hand into his pocket immediately.

Wendy’s hand was left hanging in the air. Then, she pulled it back awkwardly.

“Everyone’s waiting for us. We’d better get in now!” She said.

……

Eudora pulled her hand back from Christopher’s when they were upstairs.

Christopher did not mention what had happened just now. He took a hundred dollars and handed it to the staff. “Please get me some tokens.” He said.

A moment later, he handed a huge load of tokens to Eudora.

“See that basketball frame in front of you? Well, think of it as someone that you don’t like. The frame is her face, and you can throw the ball at her.”

Eudora looked at the childish man and said, “Forget it. I’d better go back!”

“Please don’t leave! Watch me.” Christopher said immediately.

After saying that, he inserted a token into the game machine, and a basketball rolled out soon.

Christopher picked it up, aimed it at the basketball frame, and threw it over.

Bang!

He scored the basketball accurately!

Christopher snapped his fingers, picked up a basketball and handed it to Eudora. “Did you see that? You could vent your anger in this way!”

Eudora hesitated for a moment. Then, she followed what he did.

She failed at her first shot.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s try it one more time!” Christopher gave her another basketball. Eudora mustered her strength and threw it over.

The ball went in!

A joyful celebration music sounded from the game machine, which sounded pretty motivating to the heart.

Christopher handed another basketball to Eudora and said, “One more time!”

In the end, Eudora kept throwing the basketball consecutively. Upon seeing this, Christopher inserted tokens into the other game machine and said, “C’mon! Let’s have a competition!”

“No problem! You’d have to buy breakfast for the staff for a week if you lose!” Eudora said.

“You’re so cruel!” Christopher gritted his teeth. “Fine, I’ll be more merciful to you. You’d have to treat me to breakfast for a week if you lose.”

“Deal!”
