Both of them were taken aback and Christopher Gellert was the first to speak.

"How's your going recently?"

After a pause, Eudora George replied, "Great, what about you?"

Christopher seemed to have thought of something and he gave a wry smile, "I'm good too!"

He continued, "I had just started this company recently and its main focus is on design. It's almost the same as the studio we had in Italy. So, I am more than willing to welcome you..."

At first, Eudora was ecstatic to join the company, but now, she suddenly hesitated.

Christopher was a very nice guy. She clearly knew that he had a crush on her when he accompanied her abroad for so many years. However, even after so many years, she still could not accept him from the bottom of her heart.

In the end, a lot of things happened.

She knew that she owed him a lot.

Seeing that she was quiet, Christopher suddenly smiled, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of meeting me?"

"No!" Eudora shook her head, "I'm just afraid that it would bother you."

"Nonsense!" Christopher continued, "As long as you're okay with it."

Juju glanced at Eudora before turning to stare at Christopher. She could not help but

sighed, "Mommy, I'm going to the bathroom."

Eudora got up hurriedly to accompany her but Juju merely shook her head. "Mommy, I've grown up now. I don't need you to accompany me everywhere!"

This little girl! Eudora could not help but smiled, "Alright then, go ahead!"

After Juju left the room, Christopher took the contract out again. "Have a look at the contract. You can sign it if there is no problem. Just like what we had agreed upon previously, you don't need to come to the office. You just need to go to the construction site occasionally whenever you're needed."

Eudora was still hesitant, "Forget it, I think that I should keep looking for some other work."

"Eudora!" Christopher stopped her, "Aren't we friends? Or are we no longer friends because I used to like you?"

"No..." Eudora shook her head hurriedly.

"Sign the contract then! I didn't recruit you because of our past relationship. I wanted to hire you because you are Eudora George, the great designer. It would be beneficial to my company if we worked together."

Eudora finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! I look forward to working with your company!"

After that, she took the contract and signed it.

She returned the contract to Christopher. He smiled at her.

Juju wanted to wash her hands when she came out of the bathroom. However, her short hands were not long enough to turn on the tap.

While she was in a dilemma, someone helped her to open the tap.

"There you go!"

Juju immediately saw a good-looking girl smiling at her as soon as she turned around. Juju immediately smiled happily, "Thank you." "You're welcome!" Tina Holt replied.

After Juju washed her hands, she looked at Tina, who helped her to turn off the tap.

Juju then turned to return to the office but after a few steps, she realized that the lady who had helped her was following behind her. "Are you also looking for Uncle Gellert?"

The woman's eyes lit up, "Do you know Christopher?"

"Yes!" Juju nodded. Then, she blinked curiously, "Are you Uncle Gellert's bride?"

Tina laughed immediately, "How did you know?"

"I think you are a perfect match!"

The two of them entered the office together. Upon entering, Tina saw Christopher smiling brightly at Eudora and she was instantly lost in thought.

Juju had already thrown herself into Eudora's arms, "Mommy, I saw Uncle Gellert's bride." "Really?" As Eudora spoke, she turned her head and saw a lady standing at the door in a daze. She was wearing a blue dress and she looked refreshing.

"Aren't you going to introduce us?" Eudora asked smilingly.

Christopher reached out and called Tina, "Come here."

Tina suddenly came to her senses and walked over. Christopher immediately grabbed her hand when she was near him. The man's hand was very dry and warm and she got lost in her thoughts again. After realizing that Eudora had greeted her first, she came back to her senses and looked at Eudora. "Hello."

Eudora also smiled, "I'm really sorry, I didn't prepare anything for your wedding."

"It's okay!" Tina waved her hand and continued, "We're actually..." She had intended to say that their marriage was not a big deal.

Yet, Christopher had interrupted her before she could finish.

"We have everything. It's okay."

Eudora shook her head, "That's different. We're friends anyway. I'll pick a good wedding gift for you when I get back."

She then looked at the time and picked Juju up. "I should go back now."

"Okay!" Christopher nodded and watched as Eudora left. When the door of the office was closed, the smile on Christopher's face gradually disappeared. He immediately withdrew the hand that was holding onto Tina.

She felt lost for a moment.

Tina then took a deep breath and said, "Is that the person you like? She's so beautiful! She looks very gentle too. Now I know why you like her."

Christopher frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Tina was taken aback, "Oh, I was a little bored at home. So I thought of helping you with your company. I used to learn design..."

"No!" Christopher said stiffly.

Tina frowned, "Why are you so angry? I'm just here to help. I didn't ask you to pay me anyway! It's fine if you don't want to hire me but I'm just worried that I might let something slip, especially with Eudora..." Before Tina could finish, the man had suddenly stood up.

He grabbed her wrists with his big hands and glared at her. "Just mind your own business!"

Tina had never seen him like this and she was startled. "You... Christopher..."

"Tina, listen carefully. We've agreed that we are doing this for our own benefits. I hope that you don't cross the line! If I hear something along those lines in the future, then don't blame me for being harsh!" After that, he shoved her away. "Get out!"

After coming out of Christopher's office, Eudora took Juju to the market to get some groceries. They bought the ingredients which she would then make into her best dishes. When she was about to head back, she suddenly recalled Christopher's wedding gift, so she decided to stop by the stores in the mall.

At this moment, her mobile phone rang. She picked up the call and Amos' voice came from the end of the phone, "Where are you?"

"I'm at the mall!" Eudora said, "I'm about to head back."

"I'll go and pick you up!" Amos replied.

Since Amos was on his way to pick them up, Eudora was not in a hurry anymore. She happened to see a screen in a store. It was an oriental-styled partition screen with double-sided embroidery and it was gorgeous.

She recalled that Christopher seemed to prefer oriental-styled decorations, so she planned to buy this for him as a wedding gift.

When she was looking at the screen, Amos approached her and noticed that she was staring at the partition screen. "If you like it, then just buy it!"

Amos picked Juju up as he spoke.

Eudora shook her head, "It's not for me. I'm going to give it to Christopher as a wedding gift! What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Amos frowned slightly, "Christopher?"
