My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 432
Upstairs, Eudora began working on her design model as soon she turned on her laptop.
At this moment, she noticed a message in her email. She hadn't used the laptop for a long time, hence she didn't know when the message was sent. She clicked on it and found that it was sent four days ago!
The sender would have been extremely anxious if the matter was urgent, wouldn't they?
Eudora looked at the sender's name. After glancing at it, she immediately grew excited. She couldn't believe that it came from the TAG Group!
TAG Group had contacted her, saying that they were ready to build a resort town in the country and that they wanted her to be the chief designer. They said that they had seen her show as well as some of her designs in Italy before. They also mentioned that her designs were very fairytale-like, which was very in line with their theme.
Eudora was so happy that she almost danced in her seat.
She jumped up from her seat in excitement.
However, in the next second, a tall figure held her down tightly.
"Eudora..."
The man's voice was hoarse, clearly shocked that his heart had almost jumped up into his throat. She was already four months pregnant, yet she was still jumping up and down like that!
Eudora was so excited that she didn't even care about Amos being angry. She kept saying to him, "Look at the email! It was sent by TAG Group. They asked me to be their designer!" Amos took a glance at the email. TAG Group?
He recalled what Clint had told him earlier that afternoon. Was it all just a coincidence?
However, it was not the time to worry about this. He pressed Eudora's shoulders, forcing her to sit.
"It seems that I have to get you a seat belt in case you jump up from your seat again."
Eudora pouted, "Are you worried about me or our child? I'm so jealous that you're already so worried about our kid!"
She protested indignantly while Amos sighed helplessly.
"Nonsense. He is just a lump of mass. If it is injured, who will be the one suffering then?"
Of course, Eudora knew that Amos was on her side. She had said those words deliberately. She had recently discovered that Amos was quite adorable when he was helpless. Nevertheless, he was amused by her playfulness.
Eudora replied to the email quickly. First, she apologized and explained that she hadn't been online for the past few days due to personal reasons. Then, she asked the other party about their current arrangements. Eudora felt a little regretful after replying to the email.
She whined, "If I had known this earlier, I would have logged onto the Internet a few days ago. It's TAG Group, how rare is this opportunity! If I miss it, I'd regret it for a lifetime!"
Amos pursed his lips. "You're not in any condition to take on a project as big as this one. Even if it's TAG Group, I'll contact them only after you give birth to our child." "No!" Eudora refused. Her stubbornness rose again.
She looked at Amos seriously, "Am I that useless in your eyes? Other women have to go to work and raise their children at the same time. You, on the other hand, have treated me as though I am a disabled person ever since I became pregnant when in fact, I could handle it. My body is not as weak as you think it is. I don't want to rely on you for the rest of my life, and I want to have my own career too. Amos, are you willing to listen to my thoughts and opinions?"
They hadn't had such a serious discussion in a long while.
Amos frowned, "Do you really want to do it?"
"Of course, TAG Group is a legend in the industry. Those who had designed for TAG Group in the past eventually became world-renowned designers. I don't want to give up this opportunity! Amos, pretty please?" Eudora pleaded.
Amos sighed and he looked at the furry head on his chest.
"Since you've used both the carrot-and-stick, could I still say no?"
Hearing this, Eudora almost jumped up again. Fortunately, she was able to control herself when she thought of his words to mind her health.
"I'm willing to support your work, but you must listen to me. From now on, you mustn't act like a spoiled child!"
Eudora nodded. Then, she blinked her eyes and called out softly, "Hubby~"
She deliberately made her voice a higher pitch than usual. It sounded extremely adorable.
When she saw Amos's eyes dim, she laughed, "Alright, I get it. I can't speak flirtatiously like this either! So, I won't speak like this anymore!"
Amos furrowed his eyebrows, "You little fox! I don't mind that."
"What kind of double standards is this? So you're saying that I could speak like this occasionally, but I'm not allowed to speak this way when I request something from you?"
Amos felt helpless once again. He was no match for this little fox.
Eudora waited for the whole night, yet she did not receive any reply from the other party. She looked visibly disappointed, so Amos hurried to comfort her, "It's already so late. They are probably already asleep! Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
It was only then that Eudora went to rest reluctantly. Amos then made a call to Clint.
"Investigate that matter with the TAG Group that you had told me earlier in the morning and replace out why they had contacted Steven all of a sudden. Also, contact their representative privately using Eudora's name."
Clint checked the time. It was midnight.
It seemed that Mr. Granger was willing to forego his sleep and attend to his wife's requests at all times. It was a pity that he was the collateral damage in such a fantastic and loving relationship. Nevertheless, he still nodded as usual. "Okay, I'll go right away."
The next morning, the first thing that Eudora did when she woke up was to get out of bed and run to the study room.
As a result, she was shocked by the cactus in the room before she got to the laptop.
"Why are there so many cacti?" Eudora was dumbstruck!
Cindy was cleaning outside. Hearing this, she came over and answered, "Oh, Mr. Granger had prepared these for you. It was said to absorb radiation! And these are radiation- proof apron and clothes. In order to ensure that they're effective, Mr. Granger said that you have to wear them every day. It's almost enough for you to wear until your due date!"
Eudora was at a loss for words.
She held back the urge to roll her eyes. She yelled, "Did you think that you're all that just because you're so wealthy? How could you waste your money on such nonsensical things?" However, on second thought, she realized that the person she was referring to was none other than her beloved husband. She was the one who chose to have this man as her partner for life. No matter how troublesome he was, she still had to overlook his flaws and love him regardless.
As long as he did not stop her from work, she was willing to let him do anything that he wanted!
Eudora then put on the apron with Cindy's help. After that, she pushed the layers of cacti away and sat in front of the laptop.
Eudora refreshed the page after logging into her email. There were no new messages.
How could that be possible? Eudora was disappointed.
As she looked at the time, she realized that it was time to go to work.
Perhaps she had replied to the email a little too late, and the other party had already found another suitable candidate. This was the reality of the workplace and one's fate could change just because of a late reply to a work text or email.
Eudora couldn't suppress the disappointment in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
She went out dejectedly after turning off the computer. She'd completely lost any excitement she'd had just now.
Just as she was walking, Cindy shouted abruptly.
"Mrs. Granger, your mobile phone seems to be ringing."
"Oh," Eudora responded and she went over to pick it up dejectedly.
A big smile crept onto her face as soon as she heard the other party's introduction,
