When Eudora heard that, she reached out and wanted to hug Amos out of sheer joy and excitement, but she found that she had no strength left in her arms at all.
The alcohol was finally kicking in, and she almost slipped and fell.
Eventually, Amos had to help her up. He chuckled, âJust look at you, and you were thinking of getting me drunk?â
â¦
The next day when Eudora woke up, Amos was not at home.
Her phone rang, and it was Clint. He reminded Eudora, âMrs. Granger, the car has arrived. Itâs waiting for you downstairs!â
âIâll be right there,â Eudora said.
As soon as she got up, she felt a splitting headache. The events from the night before were hazy.
âYou liar!â
The sudden thought of the voice made Eudora recall that Amos seemed to be angry the night before.
Maybe that was why he wasnât in the room. Maybe he was still angry?
After much difficulty, she managed to get up and change into some fresh clothes. Then, she headed downstairs, only to find no one in the living room. However, her luggage was already prepared on the sofa.
Cindy informed her after seeing that Eudora had come down.
âGood morning Mrs. Granger. President Granger told me to pack your luggage for you! He took Sugar Bun off for a swim in the morning and they will not be back until later. Iâll send you.â
Eudora pursed her lips and asked carefully, âIs Amos angry?â
Cindy was stunned and replied, âAngry? Well, I think he didnât look well when he left this morning, but Iâm not sure if heâs angry or notâ¦â
This time, Eudora was almost certain he was mad.
However, she had to go to work. After she gave it some thought, she left a note for him on the table.
âIâll try to come back earlier, love you!â
Cindy cringed as she saw the sickly sweet note Eudora left for Amos.
After Eudora got into the car, she looked around, hoping to see Amos. However, he did not appear!
â¦
At that moment, Amos was sitting outside the house with Sugar Bun. When he saw the car leaving, he reached out and held Sugar Bunâs hand.
âCome on, letâs go home!â
Sugar Bun looked at Amos and pouted, âDaddy, mommy is leavingâ¦â
Amos nodded, âYes, your mommy is going to work.â
âWhy⦠didnât daddy see mommy off?â
Amos frowned and explained, âBecause daddy wanted to take you out for a walk! So daddy couldnât see mommy off!â
However, Sugar Bun saw through everything and immediately said, âDaddy⦠youâre sad that mommy is leaving, arenât you!â
Amos was speechless.
âNonsense!â
âItâs true, itâs true!â Sugar Bun was full of smiles as he insisted, âYouâre sad that mommy is leaving!â
Amos did not know what to say.
âYou brat, how dare you tease me!â
Sugar Bun immediately ran away upon hearing those words. Amos looked at his back and secretly sighed.
Truth be told, he was indeed a little reluctant to part with her!
He was worried that if he saw her off, he would be even more reluctant to let her leave. He had tried to clear his thoughts the whole night, but it was to no avail. Amos was aware that he shouldnât try to imprison Eudora beside him. Instead, he should let her spread her wings and fly!
Therefore, he was determined to start getting used to not having her beside him.
â¦
The hotel Eudora stayed in was the same as when she previously came. As though guided by fate, the room she stayed in was the room that she had stayed with Amos in last time.
Once she put her things down, she washed up. When she came out of the bathroom, she looked at her phone out of habit.
Originally, she thought that there would be a lot of messages or missed calls, but she did not see any!
Eudora was taken aback. She checked her phone credit to ensure that she wasnât mistaken, but the phoneâs condition was top notch. If so, why wasnât there any messages or calls at all?
She looked for Amosâs number and wanted to call him, but she hesitated again.
She did not know if Amos was still angry at her. What if he was angrier after she called him?
Maybe she could call him to comfort him?
That could work! Eudora recalled that Amos was most worried about her health. Thankfully, Cindy had packed some vitamins and supplements for her in her luggage.
She immediately took them out and took a picture of herself holding the supplements. Then, she added a catchy phrase before posting it on her social media.
âA healthy regimen, starting today.â
In her selfie were the supplements and vitamins.
After she posted it, she immediately received responses. She hurriedly clicked into the first reply and found that it was from Harley. It said, âEudora! Whatâs wrong? Did someone hack your account?â
Eudora was confused.
âOh please! What sort of hacker would post selfies?â
Meanwhile, Christopher was also confused. He directly replied to Harleyâs comment and analyzed the situation seriously.
âI think itâs possible though. I recall that Eudora hates these supplements the most, saying that they had a weird taste to them! I think itâs true! This selfie must be photoshopped, considering photo apps are so advanced now. Report this!â
Eudora was speechless.
She had a burning desire to delete their comments.
Then there was Thea, who commented, âEudora, are you trying to lose weight?â
Tina popped up later as well. Although she did not question Eudora, her comment was on point.
âEudora, did you quarrel with Amos? Did you go crazy?â
While Eudora was being ridiculed by the others, she did not see any comments from Amos. She was about to switch off her phone when Clint called her.
âMiss George, everything is ready. Letâs head over there now!â
Eudora nodded. Soon, she left the room and followed Clint to the meeting venue.
The first client that she met that day was from a previous encounter. As soon as he arrived, he apologized to Eudora immediately!
âPreviously, I was ignorant and did not recognize you, Miss George. I was not aware that you were the true owner of Valiant East! Please accept my sincere apology!â
Eudora initially thought that she would be on cloud nine after receiving such praise. Yet, she felt nothing, not even a shred of glee. Her thoughts wandered to the now silenced phone in her pocket.
The meeting ended hastily and she hurried back to the hotel.
It was already past nine at night, but there were still no messages or calls from Amos. Eudora thought about it for a while and finally called Cindy.
Cindy was puzzled, âMrs. Granger, why did you call me?â
Eudora grunted, âIs Amos at home?â
âYes, he is! Heâs looking at picture albums with Sugar Bun!â
âThen why didnât he check his phone?â Eudora muttered gloomily. Cindy was stunned and asked, âWhat did you say?â
âNo, itâs nothing! Please help me check if Amos forgot to charge his phone. Also, how is Sugar Bun doing?â
Cindy nodded and replied, âSugar Bun is doing fine. With President Granger here, there is nothing to worry about. As for his phone, I donât think itâs run out of battery! I just saw him charge his phone this afternoon. I donât think he looked at his phone for the whole day, so itâs unlikely that it would run out of power!â
âOh, I see,â Eudora was disappointed. Then, she asked, âDid he say anything about me?â
Cindy shook her head and answered, âNo, I donât think so. Whatâs wrong, Mrs. Granger?â
âItâs nothing!â Eudora shook her head and said, âThen you should go to bed early!â
After she hung up the phone, she sat on the sofa gloomily. What should she do now? Amos was really angry!
What a petty man!
After Eudora cursed Amos silently, she started berating herself again.
How could she insult Amos? He was always so nice to her.
What could she do to cheer him up now?
