My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 96
Valiant East.
After finishing some tasks, Amos leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to have a rest.
Clint pushed the door open and came in. Amos heard him and opened his eyes to say, "What's next..." "I've pushed it back for three hours. Please take a break, you don't seem to look well." Clint said.
Amos nodded his head and said, "Call me later then."
As soon as Amos was done speaking, Harley Louis pushed the door open and came in. "Brother, are you free today? Didn't we say the other day that we're going to your place to try Sister-in-law's cooking?" Clint was speechless. "Well, it seems like President Granger has no time to rest anymore."
Harley looked at Clint and asked in puzzlement, "Rest? Isn't it still working hours?" He turned his head to see Amos' pale face, and was shocked by the sight of it.
"What's wrong? Brother, did your Second Uncle do anything to you again?" he asked.
"No!" Clint said in a hurry. Harley was a talkative person. On the other hand, Amos preferred to remain silent.
If Amos kept quiet, the conversation might end up being just between them both for the next three hours.
"President Granger didn't have a good rest last night!"
"Oh!" Harley breathed a sigh of relief, and said flirtatiously, "It seems like your nights have been quite exciting recently!"
Clint was speechless.
Amos rolled his eyes almost instinctively and said, "I'm not free these days, we'll talk about the meal again next time. You should go back now!"
"No way!" Harley was disappointed. "I've been very busy recently. It's not easy for me to visit you on my leisure time. Look at that attitude of yours, I just wanted to have a meal with you, it's not like I'm taking Sister-in-law away from you. It's just a meal!" Harley repeated.
Clint kept giving looks at Harley. Of all times, why did he have to mention about Eudora now?
Recently, the relationship between President Granger and Miss George had been rocky. Therefore, President Granger was very annoyed. How dare Harley mentioned about Eudora now!
Fortunately, Harley was sharp enough. He understood what was going on when he realized Clint was throwing a meaningful look at him.
"Are both of you quarreling because of that woman?" He asked.
Upon hearing this, Clint was speechless.
Harley confirmed his answer when he saw the both of them remained silent. "See, I knew it would be like this. It's impossible for a woman to accept their man being with another woman. Is Sister-in-law unhappy? Well, I think you could just buy a bag for her. Bet you haven't heard, but this is in fact the simplest way to make a woman be happy! If one bag doesn't work, get two!"
Harley said proudly, lifting his chin in confidence.
Clint doubted, "Are you sure it'll work?"
"Of course!" Harley nodded his head and said. "Just listen to my advice!"
Clint was speechless. He still found this method unreliable. Moreover, President Granger would probably not agree with this too.
Unexpectedly, Amos looked at them and said, "I'll give it a try."
Clint was speechless. However, he didn't understand anything about relationships. Therefore, he would just prepare for it as the president said. "I'll get it prepared now!"
"Forget it." Amos looked at his wristwatch and stood up.
Upon seeing this, Harley's eyes lit up. "Are we going to have a meal now?"
Amos shook his head.
He said, "It's time for my other schedule. I'll go first."
Harley was speechless, how could he just leave him like that!
After his afternoon schedule, Amos passed by a shop on his way back to his office. After hesitating for a while, he decided to enter the shop. Although he knew well that Eudora was not a materialistic woman, he still wanted to buy her a gift. He couldn't recall gifting her anything before. Perhaps this would be a great way to start!
The shop assistant noticed his extraordinary temperament. Therefore, she hurried forward to assist him. "Sir, are you going to buy a bag for your girlfriend?" Amos shook his head and added, "It's for my wife."
Upon hearing this, Clint was speechless. Amos sounded so loving the moment he mentioned his wife.
It was so rare of Amos, who was usually indifferent, to be so gentle.
In the end, he chose a white business bag and made the payment.
Amos kept admiring the bag on the way back to his office, and Clint did not quite understand why. It was just a bag.
There was nothing special about that bag. However, he was staring at the bag because he bought it for Eudora.
"Would you like to go home directly now?" Clint asked.
"Is there anything else that I have to deal with?" Amos asked.
"You still have to sign some documents." Clint said. Amos looked at his watch and said, "Let's go back to the company then, and please cancel all activities for tomorrow morning. 1' Amos said. It was the weekend, and it had been long enough since he spent some quality time with Eudora.
"Okay!" Clint nodded his head and said.
The receptionist shouted as soon as they arrived at the lobby of Valiant East, "Assistant Zuckerberg!"
Clint looked over and saw Wendy holding a pot of soup at the reception counter.
"Miss Liam?" He frowned and said. Amos, who was standing beside him, looked over as well.
The next second, Wendy ran over happily, "Amos, you're back."
All the staffs looked at her suspiciously. Why did this woman acted like she was very close to President Granger? Didn't President Granger already announce that he had a girlfriend?
The receptionist said helplessly, "This young lady insisted on waiting here. I couldn't do anything about it."
"It's alright!" Clint said, and walked up to Wendy, "Miss Liam, let's talk upstairs!"
Wendy followed them to Amos' office, and only put down the pot of soup when she arrived at Amos' office. "You didn't drink much soup last night. So, I cooked another pot for you today. I promise it's delicious this time. Please taste it."
Leaving those words behind, she began to pour the soup into a bowl.
Amos stopped her quickly and said, "I'm not hungry, you didn't have to. Plus, you're still in poor health. Why did you come out?"
"I'm much better already!" Wendy said. "Look, I came out alone and nothing happened. I just kind of missed you, so I came to see you."
Clint, who was standing aside, felt that something was wrong. Did Miss Liam fall in love with the President?
It was not impossible.
After all, the President was an outstanding person, and Miss Liam had suffered a lot due to various reasons. Now that she was rescued by Amos, how could she not fall in love with him? But, what about Miss George?
The more Clint thought about it, the more complicated it seemed to be. It was no wonder that Amos, who was an intelligent person, was worried too.
Clint turned around, and pushed the door open to walk out of the office.
Amos walked towards Wendy and said, "You have your own company now, and I've hired a designer to teach you, right? You should learn more from the teacher if you're free."
"I'm learning!" Wendy nodded as she quickly took out the sketches from her bag, handing over to Amos. "Look, these are my drawings. Aren't they good?" She said. "Yes!" Amos responded as he nodded.
All of a sudden, Wendy's glance fell on the bag that Clint had put on the coffee table just now. She got up and reached for the bag in astonishment, "What a beautiful bag! Is this for me?"
