My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 57

Eudora didn't think it was suitable to ask him now.

She hid her curiosity in her heart and looked at Amos worriedly. But he wasn't flustered at all.

He smiled, "Mr. Cooper, you don't have to be afraid of me. May I ask if your clients know that you have

a habit of blaming others?"

"You..." Jeremy Cooper stuttered and was on verge of losing his temper. He swallowed his rage as

Thomas was still there.

"We're not done with this!" He roared.

"I'll be waiting!" Jeremy left with Thomas right away. Thomas gazed at Amos with a puzzled look.

After they left, Amos asked Eudora, "Why are you still here?"

Eudora pursed her lips unconsciously and answered, "I have something to talk to Mr. Cooper. But, it's

alright. I'm leaving now."

She didn't want to ask much as it was still within her working hours.

When they left the building, Harley teased, "It seems like Eudora is trying to hide something from you!"

Amos frowned and ordered, "Go and check it out."

Harley was always good at finding out secrets. He quickly got hold of the situation.

"I'm afraid that the Gellerts' Everpeace is going to be in very big trouble this time! It will be a good time

for you to purchase it now. It's a pity that you're taking a break now. You shouldn't let Harry get it!"

"I'm not going to let him get it," Amos sneered while the golf ball fell into the hole.

"Then what are you going to do?" Harley asked curiously.

Amos kept quiet and put down his golf club. He put his hands in his pockets and walked out.

"Hey! Are you leaving?" Harley yelled.

"This is no fun!" Amos answered.

At Everpeace.

Eudora and Christopher looked discouraged when they came out of the room.

Christopher smiled bitterly and asked, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

Eudora shook her head. "I'm alright. Let's go back to the company first. Maybe we can think of other

ways?"

Christopher nodded, but they were very clear that it was not possible.

They drove all the way back to the company. As soon as they arrived, an assistant was seen standing

at the entrance waiting for them. "Sir, a group of people came and claimed that they want to see you."

"Who are they?" Christopher frowned.

"They said they are from TEM Inc..." The assistant replied. "TEM Inc?" Shocked, Christopher repeated.

Everyone in the field knew this company.

TEM Inc had a history of more than ten years in the United States. But in recent years, they had

expanded very quickly in this country. No one expected that TEM Inc would come and find them.

Christopher dashed up to the office with Eudora.

He could see five of their representatives seated around the table waiting for them when he opened the

office door.

The leader got up and greeted them, "Hello, President Gellert. I'm David Zilon, one of the

representatives of TEM Inc. I'm here to talk to you about our potential collaboration on behalf of TEM."

He instructed one of them to hand over some files to Christopher. "These are all the information on the

current situation of Everpeace. After deducting all the expenses you have spent previously on the

construction, as well as the other additional costs, including the compensation for the accidents

happened and the court proceedings... The remaining amount in Everpeace is obviously not enough to

hold up until the end of next month."

Christopher frowned. "It seems like you're not here to collaborate with my company."

David smiled and replied, "No one will join you after knowing Everpeace's current situation. You should

know it better than I do. TEM Inc is willing to buy Everpeace. And, we will allow you to stay in

Everpeace as a shareholder if you decide to let us take over. That being said, you will still be in charge

of Everpeace. I assure you nothing will change." Christopher couldn't understand the purpose of them

doing this. "What's your goal?"

"It is of course to expand our business, and also to lay our foundation in this country." David showed

him the contract. "Please take a look."

"The contract includes all our promises, and also our agreement on your plan to make changes to the

warehouse. If in the future, you want to leave Everpeace and set up a new company, you won't be

bonded with TEM Inc, too."

It was true that those conditions were very tempting. Christopher knew in his heart that no one in the

country could offer something as good.

Although Eudora was reluctant to sell Everpeace, she kept quiet as Christopher was the actual owner.

Moreover, they had promised that everything would remain the same as before.

Christopher glared at Eudora and asked, "What do you think?"

Eudora smiled and answered, "I will respect whatever decision you made."

"Alright, I agree!" Christopher exclaimed, "When should we sign the contract?"

He would be able to turn the tables now since this matter was solved.

"We'll finalize the documents and bring all the contracts tomorrow morning," David replied.

"Alright!"

After sending them away, Eudora and Christopher breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the problem had

been solved, they could start all over again.

The news spread in the company and everyone's gloomy face disappeared instantly.

Christopher smiled and announced, "You guys are allowed to get off work early today, and you all are

given a day off tomorrow. We will start over again!"

Eudora didn't always get off work early. She was thinking if she should buy some food to bring back

home. While she was about to reach the exit, she saw a few unexpected guests in suits waiting for her.

"Miss George, Old Master Granger would want to meet you."

A chill went down Eudora's spine. She knew that he wanted to meet her to talk about what happened

yesterday. She nodded, "Okay."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Eudora was brought to the study by the butler as soon as she arrived at Granger Mansion.

Eudora paused at the door for a moment before she mustered up her courage and knocked on the

door.

Old Master Granger was flipping through a photo album on his chair. He slammed the album onto the

table when he saw Eudora. "Sit down!"

Eudora took two more steps forward and sat down on the sofa next to her.

She asked softly, "What is the matter, sir?"

The old master didn't answer. Instead, he stood up and sat across from Eudora. He asked, "You

mentioned that the agreement between you and Amos lasts for a year, didn't you?"

Stunned, Eudora quickly replied, "Ah? Yes!"

"Then, where will you go after a year?" The old master continued.

Despite feeling suspicious at his questions, Eudora still answered him honestly, "I don't know."

The old master paused for a moment and added, "You are still young, and you still have many

possibilities in your future. If I'm not wrong, you are doing design, aren't you? It's going to be hard for

you to become successful in this very competitive field. But things will be different if you further your

studies in the States or in France."

Eudora frowned and said, "With all due respect, please don't beat around the bush, sir."

The old master nodded. He went to the desk to take a cheque and handed it over to her.

"Five million dollars! You can use it as your living expenses for your studies there. I can also enrol you

at any university, if you are willing to go. But, under one condition. You must give birth to a child for the

Granger family."
