Eudora George pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to explain it to me. It has nothing to do with

me.

Eudora realized that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and there was only half an hour until the person in charge of the competition got off work. Eudora was anxious. She quickly made a phone call to the person in charge.

"I'm sorry, something went wrong with my computer. I'm copying the files into the CD right now. Could you please wait for a while longer?" Eudora asked.

"I'm sorry. I can't break the rules for you!"

"I promise to send it over tonight..." Eudora said.

However, the person had already hung up the phone before Eudora could finish speaking.

When the call was disconnected, Eudora felt an unprecedented grief stirring in her heart.

Eudora knew that she shouldn't be feeling this way. She had never expected anything from Amos the moment she got into a relationship with him.

However, looking at the documents on the table, Eudora couldn't contain her disappointment.

"What happened?" Amos asked.

"It's none of your business! You just have to take care of Wendy Liam!" Eudora spoke with anger. She did not hold back at all. Upon hearing this, Amos' face darkened. He said, "Eudora, do you know what you're talking about?"

"What do you think I'm talking about? Don't you feel tired being circled around by two women at the same time?" Eudora asked him back.

Amos' gaze got gloomier, "I thought you knew the reason behind this better than anyone else." he said.

"I know. But I'm not a saint!" After saying that, she chuckled bitterly and hurried downstairs with some documents in her hand.

Amos swept the documents from the table to the ground. Did Eudora think she was the only one who was tired? Wasn't Amos equally tired as well?

Clint Zuckerberg looked at them, hesitating as he said, "It seems like something happened to Miss George today."

"Find out what's going on." Amos took a deep breath and said.

Clint came back in a jiffy to tell Amos what happened to Eudora today. "The CD that she has handed in for the competition can't be played. Also, her laptop was malfunctioning, and there are only ten minutes left for her to..."

It was no wonder that she was in such a hurry.

She had put in a lot of effort into the competition...

Amos frowned and said, "Find the organizer of this competition now. We must solve this problem."

"Okay!" Clint turned around and left. Amos leaned against the chair for a while before he got up and went to the laptop repair shop.

The staff turned on the laptop and told Eudora that all the documents inside her laptop would be gone if she wanted to fix the laptop.

The design blueprint for the competition and the logistics center were all on the laptop.

She dared not take this risk!

"Is there no other way?" Eudora asked helplessly.

"There is another way. But it takes time. We can send your laptop to the manufacturer for a comprehensive examination, and they would try to help you to retain the information inside." "How long would that take?" Eudora asked.

"The soonest would be in three days..."

All of a sudden, the wall clock sounded. It was already six o'clock in the evening.

The deadline was up. Eudora nodded her head and said lifelessly, "Please arrange it for me then."

After coming out of the shop, Eudora felt exhausted. She didn't know what she had been holding on to for so long.

She thought she was really close to achieving her dreams.

But her dream just shattered into pieces just like that.

She drove the car forward, aimlessly, until she reached a dead end. Then, she stopped the car there.

Perhaps, she had reached the dead-end in her life as well.

Amos caught up with Eudora. He saw her sitting on a stone by the river. She was hugging herself with her arms, curled up like a conch which had lost its shell.

Upon seeing this, Amos frowned. He took off his coat to put it around her body.

"I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now." he said.

Eudora remained silent. She stayed in the same position, not moving an inch.

After a long time, she said weakly, "If we keep holding on like this, would we have a happy ending?"

Amos was scared when he saw how indifferent Eudora became.

"Eudora, I know you're exhausted. I will deal with these things as soon as possible, and I'll tell Wendy about our relationship as soon as her condition improves." Amos said. "Really?" Eudora looked at Amos. She felt an invisible gap between the both of them, although he was right before her eyes.

Amos lowered his head to plant a kiss her forehead. "Of course."

Eudora gradually calmed down with the warmth of his kiss.

Amos sat down beside her and held her into his arms. They sat there for what seemed like a very long time. Eudora's body felt cold because of the wind, and Amos helped her up. "Let's go back now."

"I don't want to go back."

Eudora shook her head and said.

"No way. Don't you care about the competition tomorrow?" Amos asked.

Upon hearing this, Eudora was dumbstruck. "Competition? But isn't the CD..."

"I fixed it!" Amos said.

Eudora's eyes lit up. The gloomy mist that was covering her heart vanished in an instant. Tears welled up within her eyes. She said in a hoarse voice, "You're not lying, right?" "I can't bear to lie to you." Amos said.

Eudora threw herself into Amos' arms as soon as he finished speaking. Tears rolled down her cheeks like a fountain, wetting his clothes in an instant.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, all sorts of emotions overwhelmed her at that moment. She didn't know what to feel, and could only bury herself in her tears.

Amos couldn't bear to see her crying. He lifted her face up.

"Please don't cry anymore. Your face is wrinkled from all the crying."

Eudora sniffled and said, "Do you think I'm ugly?"

"No! In fact, I'd still love you even if you were an old ugly woman now." Amos said.

Eudora broke into laughter and said, "Such a sweet talker."

"Only to you." Amos said.

His words acted like an invisible seal, stamping onto her and labeling her as his woman.

After that, Amos bent down and kissed her lips. Eudora's body stiffened for a moment before she held his waist and kissed him back passionately.

Eudora rarely took the initiative when it came to things like this, especially sex. Ever since Wendy came back, it was always Amos who took the initiative, almost as if it was his one-man show whenever they made out.

Amos' heart skipped a beat. He looked around and swallowed his saliva, saying with a hoarse voice, "Let's go home."

However, Eudora did not stop. She began to unbutton his shirt one by one with her icy cold hands, which caused Amos' body to tense up.

He took a deep breath and lifted Eudora in his arms.

"You started it first." Amos whispered huskily.

He carried her back into his car and put down the curtains.

Then, Amos lowered his head to kiss the woman's lips, while Eudora finished unbuttoning his shirt. Then she tried to unbuckle his belt.

Amos was completely hard. He reached his hand out to lift her skirt, pulling down that last layer of underwear. In the past, Eudora had always closed her eyes whenever they were having sex. However, she was looking at Amos today, quietly, as he enveloped her body.

She held him in her arms tightly, calling his name over and over again as she shoved her body into him again and again.

It seemed that it was the only way for her to prove that this man belonged to her.
