One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora George did not sleep for the whole night. When she went downstairs the next day, Amos Granger stood up immediately when he saw her coming down.

“Are you going to work?” He asked.

“Yes!” Eudora nodded her head and looked at Auntie Valerie. She said, “I’m sorry, Auntie Valerie. I’m not going to have breakfast today. Please don’t prepare breakfast for me.”

After saying that, she walked out to the door.

Amos grabbed her hand and said, “Wendy will leave today. She will not cause any trouble for you anymore.”

“Oh!” Eudora nodded her head. Then, she looked at her watch and said, “I’m going to be late.”

Amos let go of her and said, “Please come back early. I’ll ask Auntie Valerie to prepare your favorite dishes.”

Eudora did not say anything.

She took a deep breath after getting into the car. Then, she looked at her hands.

Amos had just grabbed her hand. But the feeling felt so foreign.

Everyone was discussing something when she arrived at the office.

“It will be great if our company can acquire this project.”

“Yeah, our company will definitely have a brighter future.”

Eudora had no idea about the project that they were talking about.

Christopher Gellert came into the office while Eudora was still lost in her thoughts. Everyone hurried over to greet him. “President Gellert, who is going to follow up on this project?”

“It should be Eudora, right? She will definitely rise to the occasion.” One of the staff said.

Eudora looked up when she heard her name.

Christopher shook his head and said, “No, she’s quite busy recently.”

“No, I’m not busy.” Eudora said, “Please just tell me what should I do, President Gellert.”

Upon hearing this, Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, “Let’s talk in my office!”

…

Christopher handed a document over to Eudora.

“This is the project. It’s about building a landmark in Rosaville City. Our company will be well known and reputable in Rosaville City if we can acquire this project.”

Eudora’s eyes lit up and asked, “Why didn’t you want to give it a go then?”

Christopher frowned and said, “I wanted to give it a try. But, is it convenient for you to follow up on this project? You’ve just made up with President Granger recently. Why don’t you spend more time with him?”

Eudora smiled and said, “I’m sure a relationship goes deeper than just that. I’m not worried about it. Why are you worrying for me?”

Christopher shrugged and said, “Well, it seems that I’ve been thinking too much about it then. Alright, we’ll leave this afternoon. We’ll be back in three days. Is there any problem?”

“No!” Eudora said confidently.

…

Wendy Liam and Auntie Agnes had already left when Eudora went back to her house to pack her luggage in the afternoon.

Auntie Valerie was cleaning up. When she saw Eudora walking in, she said, “Miss, please don’t worry. I’ve cleaned up thoroughly. There won’t be any trace left.”

Eudora nodded her head and went straight upstairs to pack her things.

Auntie Valerie was stunned. “Where are you going?”

“Oh, I need to go on a business trip for three days.” Eudora explained.

Auntie Valerie breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s so sudden! Have you told Sir about this?”

Eudora shook her head and said, “Not yet. It’s just a business trip. Please help me inform him. Also, please remember to take care of Cola when I’m not here.”

After saying that, Eudora went out.

Auntie Valerie frowned and thought, ‘Something’s wrong. She must still be angry.’

Auntie Valerie gave Amos a phone call. However, the call was declined immediately.

She felt even more uneasy. Was Sir angry as well?

…

Amos sent Wendy back to her apartment. She showed him some of her design drafts.

“Look. These are my recent ideas. What do you think?” She asked.

Amos nodded his head and said, “Looks good.”

“Really?” Wendy asked while trying to read his expression.

“Yup!” Amos responded.

“That’s great!” Wendy let out a wide smile.

After hesitating for a while, she said, “I’m really sorry about what happened last night. I was too nervous at that time. So, I accidentally made Miss George unhappy. I’ll apologize to her.”

Amos frowned and said, “You don’t have to do that. Let’s try to keep a distance between us after you’ve started your business.”

Wendy was stunned. She asked, “Is Miss George angry? It’s all my fault. I…”

“No, it’s my problem.” Amos said. “I’m very grateful that you saved me many years ago. But, I don’t have any other feelings towards you. I don’t want the both of you to be unhappy because of me.”

Wendy frowned and grabbed Amos’ hand.

She said, “I’m reluctant to leave you. But, I also don’t want to make things difficult for you. I’ll respect your decision if you think this is the best way to solve this problem.”

“Okay.” After saying that, Amos was about to get up.

All of a sudden, the paint on the table dropped to the ground. Amos’ shirt was stained.

Wendy took a paper towel to wipe Amos’ shirt. Amos shook his head and took out his mobile phone. He said, “I’ll go to the bathroom and clean it up.”

He placed his phone on the table and left. The phone rang shortly after.

Wendy looked at the screen and realized that the phone call was from his house.

She declined the phone call!

Wendy took a new shirt from her room and walked to the bathroom. She stood outside the bathroom and said, “Fortunately, I bought a men’s shirt when I went shopping some time ago. You can try it on.”

Amos said, “It’s okay! Clint is waiting for me outside. I have some clothes in the car. Please call him for me. ”

Wendy pursed her lips and thought for a while.

She said, “Amos, can’t we even be friends? Why don’t you put on the shirt I bought for you?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Unfortunately, Amos did not care about this.

He said, “I don’t like to wear the clothes that I’m not familiar with. I’m sorry.”

Wendy gritted her teeth and threw the shirt into the trash can. She said, “Okay, I’ll get Clint for you.”

Soon, Clint came in with a shirt. Amos changed into the new shirt and left.

After leaving Wendy’s apartment, Clint asked, “President Granger, where are we going?”

Amos looked at his wristwatch and said, “Let’s go home!” He promised to go back early today.

Amos looked around the living room when he got home. However, Eudora was nowhere to be seen.

All of a sudden, Cola ran out and rubbed its body against his leg.

Amos stroked Cola gently and asked Auntie Valerie, “Where’s she? Is she working overtime again today?”

Auntie Valerie shook her head and said, “Miss George is not working overtime. She went on a work trip.”

Amos frowned and repeated her words, “A work trip?”

“Yes. She came back in the afternoon. She left after packing the luggage. She said she will come back three days later.”

“Did she say where she is going?” Amos asked.

Auntie Valerie shook her head and said, “No.”

Amos stood still for a while. Then, he walked out. All of a sudden, he stopped walking and took out his mobile phone to give Eudora a phone call.

Eudora received the phone call as she was about to get off the plane.

She hesitated for a moment. In the end, she answered the call.

“Auntie Valerie told you I’m on a work trip, right? I’ll come back after three days.” She said calmly.

Amos narrowed his eyes and thought silently, ‘This woman is still angry at me.’

“Why didn’t you tell me? Are you still angry at me?” He asked.
