My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 725
After Eudora went inside, she saw that the people from the client's side and her own company had arrived.
Those on Eudora's side were the construction workers and the foreman that she had carefully selected. Now that there was such a problem, she felt very sorry towards them. Therefore, she started apologizing as soon as she entered.
"Sorry, I'm late. I already have a preliminary understanding of the problem. Why don't we take a look at the scene first and replace out what's wrong with it?"
Although the person- in-charge from the other party was very unhappy, he suppressed his dissatisfaction because Eudora was Amos's wife.
"Let's see it!"
The construction foreman immediately brought Eudora and client's person-in-charge to the scene and compared the scene to the blueprint.
"We did it all by following the design on the blueprint, and we have made the entire
foundation. However, the person who was here to examine said that it isn't right..."
Eudora looked at the foundation carefully and asked, "Are you sure that you've made it according to my design?"
"Of course, I'm sure!"
After saying that, he went to look for the blueprint.
"If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you."
However, he could not replace it no matter how hard he looked. The foreman was so worried that his forehead was covered with sweat, "What's going on? I thought I've put it here. Where is it?"
The client's person-in-charge started to vent his anger as if he had finally found a scapegoat.
"It looks like you're the one who had made a mistake! Making the foundation till this state not only costs plenty of materials but the time taken to redo it will also take a lot. You have to give me an explanation fo this."
He didn't dare to vent his anger towards Amos' woman, but he could do that to the people who were working under her.
"I've really been wronged!" The foreman's eyes turned red with anxiety, "I'm just a construction contractor. It won't do me any
good if I do this! I can't afford the cost of the materials spent in constructing the foundation for such a large building. I really didn't do it." However, the client just wanted to replace a scapegoat. Now that he had the foreman in his hands, naturally he wouldn't let him go.
"You're the foreman. The blueprint was given to you, and you've made a mistake. If you don't take the responsibility, who else can?" The other construction workers got anxious when they heard his words, "That's not right, isn't it? We really did it according to the design!"
Both sides were arguing with each other, and it seemed that they were going to start brawling.
Eudora raised her voice to stop them, "Stop arguing! I think we need to investigate further to replace out what's really going on."
Turning around, she looked at the person-in-charge from the other party and said, "Give me a day. I'll get back to you after I figure the whole thing out."
He wanted to refuse, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar car parked outside.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a tall man
coming out of the car. The man was leaning against the car door and watching them leisurely.
Amos Granger?
The man panicked, and he immediately nodded.
"Alright, I'll give you one day."
After an agreement was made, Eudora said to the foreman, "You, come back to the company with me. Let's take our time to figure this out!"
The foreman nodded and walked out with Eudora. As soon as he got outside, he saw Amos waiting there. He was petrified and did not know what to do.
Eudora pointed at the seat in front of them and said, "Sit in the front!"
"Okay!" The foreman opened the door and sat down.
However, he could not help looking at the back seat from the rear-view mirror.
As the head of Rosaville City's real estate industry, Amos had been in charge of Valiant East. As long as they were in this field of business, everyone knew who Amos was.
It was the first time that he had seen Amos in such a close distance. He looked as cool as he was on the television.
It was also said on television that Amos was handsome and aloof.
The foreman nodded slightly in agreement, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, "In fact, being with such a good-looking man also has a downside!"
At the very least, it must be hard to get along with a distant and reserved man.
Miss George was such a nice person. It must have been tough for her to be with him.
As he was thinking, the backseat door opened. Amos covered the frame of the car with his hand and said, "Be careful not to hit your head."
Eudora turned around, smiled at him, and got in the car.
"Perhaps all the men in the upper class are more gentlemanly?" the foreman thought.
No matter what, in his heart, Amos had to be an unapproachable man.
The next second, the aloof man took out another wet towel and handed it to Eudora.
"Don't move. Your face is covered with dust."
Hearing that, the foreman's jaw almost dropped out of shock.
Sure enough, he couldn't judge a book by its cover! President Granger was impassive in
his mind, and the foreman did not expect him to treat his wife so well.
He thought about it for a while and heaved a sigh of relief.
Rumor had it that Amos used rough methods against everyone who made a mistake. Originally, he was worried that Amos would teach Eudora some of those methods, but now, it seemed like he might not have done so!
After arriving at the company, Eudora bid goodbye to Amos.
"I have to go up first, to deal with some things."
Unexpectedly, Amos glanced at the foreman and said to Eudora, "It's alright. I'm not busy today. I'll wait for you upstairs."
A moment later, in Eudora's office.
The foreman was sitting on the chair opposite Eudora and Amos.
"The blueprint you were talking about, who gave it to you?" Eudora asked.
The foreman immediately replied, "Your secretary did!"
The design had been drawn by Eudora and handed over to the secretary to allow her
full authority in handling it!
Eudora frowned. Based on her understanding of her secretary, the secretary would definitely not have made such a low-level mistake.
Was there any problem in this process?
As he was thinking, Amos, who was next to him, suddenly spoke.
"You said she gave it to you. Tell us the time, location and day she did so."
Amos bombarded the foreman with questions, which caused him to be stupefied for a moment before he replied.
"Just two days ago, at the construction site. I don't remember the time."
"Two days ago? Is it Saturday?" Amos asked, "You work on Saturdays?"
The foreman quickly corrected himself and said, "Not two days ago, maybe three days ago? It was either on Friday or Thursday!"
Amos's lips curled up slightly, and he asked, "You're 40 this year, right?"
"I'm 45."
The foreman replied, but he felt a little annoyed after that. What was going on? Why did he answer subconsciously when Amos asked him anything?
He did not have to answer the question, did he?
As he was thinking, Amos had already come to a conclusion.
"Call the police!"
The foreman was mystified and asked, "What? Why are you calling the police? It's not me. I've told you that it's not me."
He turned to look at Eudora and pleaded, "Miss George, it's really not my fault! I've been wronged!"
Eudora had already come back to her senses. It was just so that she trusted people too easily. Previously, at the construction site, her heart had already been softened by the foreman's firm claim. Truth be told, the other party had set up a trap. They knew that normally, when people encountered situations like that, their hearts would soften.
Meanwhile, just then, the questions that Amos asked were not actually that big of a deal, but the foreman's answers had been a complete mess. Two days ago, it had not been the weekend, but a Monday.
He did not even realize his mistake, which was enough to prove that he had to be hiding
something.
She took a serious look at the foreman and questioned, "Are you sure you don't want to tell me the truth?"
