One Night Stand With That Beggar

Christopher Gellert chuckled. He did not admit it, neither did he deny it.

“President Granger, you must be joking. It’s just that everyone thinks a good woman and a good man would fit together. Well, I’m no exception either, am I?”

Eudora George frowned, and she heard Amos Granger snort at the next second.

“Very well!”

After that, he led Clint Zuckerberg straight into the room.

The leader of the other party knew Amos was coming, so he had been waiting for him outside. When he saw that Eudora and Christopher were following behind him, he thought they came together like last time, so he hurriedly went up to greet them.

“Mr. Gellert, Miss George…”

Amos frowned and said, “Let’s meet another day if you want to see them first.”

The leader of the other party was dumbfounded. He quickly changed his words.

“President Granger, I seem to have misunderstood, I’m sorry about that.” After saying that, he immediately called the secretary.

“Mr. Gellert and Miss George, please wait at the meeting room.”

Clint turned to looked at Amos suspiciously, then back at Eudora. He had no idea what was going on at all. Weren’t they stuck together like glue just a while ago?

It was no wonder that President Granger was moody and scary all of a sudden when he arrived at the company in the morning.

Soon, the secretary came over, and said, “Hello, please follow me to the next meeting room!”

Eudora looked at Christopher gloomily. “Why would you say something like that?”

Christopher pursed his lips. “Don’t you think I looked mighty just now? How dare he drive you out of the house in the middle of the night. I was just avenging you!”

Eudora was speechless. “I don’t think he would mind it. Besides, he didn’t drive me out. I was the one who wanted to leave.”

Christopher was confused. “Was it because of Wendy Liam?”

The name was like a thorn in her heart. As soon as she heard the name, Eudora could feel that her mood was getting worse.

“Forget it, I’d better take a look at my draft!”

Taking out the computer, Eudora quickly focused her attention to her drawings.

Christopher let out a sigh and walked over to analyze the drawings with her.

When Amos came out, he happened to see Eudora sitting in front of the new computer when he passed by the meeting room, while Christopher was bending over and leaning against her back.

He had his arm over Eudora’s back, moving over to control the mouse from time to time.

Amos’ eyes deepened at the sight of their intimate position.

Clint said hastily, “President Granger, do you need me to go and call Miss George?”

“No!” Amos left immediately after that.

…

After a busy hour, Eudora and Christopher finally finished preparing the draft. Just as they were about to stop, the secretary from before came back.

“Miss, Mister…”

“Is everything okay now? Where are we going to have the meeting?”

However, the secretary just shook her head, “Our leader said that the both of you should leave now.”

Leave?

Eudora was dumbstruck. “Didn’t he just say that we should wait here?”

“I’m so sorry, but our leader suddenly changed his decision. Please come with me…”

Eudora did not budge. She looked up at Christopher, suddenly saying, “Did Valiant East take on the case?”

The secretary still had that professional smile plastered on. “Sorry, It’s confidential, I can’t tell you.”

“Then I want to see your leader!” Eudora raised her voice. “Your leader hasn’t even seen our finished designs yet.”

The secretary said helplessly, “I don’t think it’s necessary…”

But Eudora refused to leave, to the extent where the leader couldn’t bear it anymore, so he came out in the end.

“Please go back, both of you. We have already reached an agreement to work with Valiant East. As for the contract’s penalty, we’ll transfer it to your company’s accounts tomorrow…”

Back then, in order to show their sincerity, Christopher and Eudora didn’t demand much for the penalty on the contract. They never expected that such a big company would go back on their words.

“Sir, please listen to me. This is the design plan I’ve made. Please just take one look, alright?”

As Eudora spoke, she handed the computer over, but the man reached his hand out to push it back, and the computer fell to the ground with a bang.

Eudora was shocked, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the computer. Fortunately, it did not suffer too much damage.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Christopher stopped her and said, “Forget it, we still have other projects to choose from even if we didn’t have this one!”

However, Eudora laughed wryly. “Will there be other projects though?”

She really couldn’t believe it. As long as Amos had the intentions of intervening, everything would not go well for her in the future.

She took out her mobile phone, quickly dialing Amos’ number.

The call was soon connected, and Eudora couldn’t help but say loudly, “Amos, did you really have to do that? Our issues are between the two of us. Why did you have to involve it with the company?”

“Ha…” The man sneered. “Eudora, I am a businessman, and the nature of a businessman is to maximise his profit. Since this project is profitable, why shouldn’t I do it?”

“But we signed the contract first!”

“So what?” Amos said faintly, “In the business field, it’s always about who’s the more powerful one, rather than the one who came first!”

“Was it really about business though? Or was it because you wanted to take revenge on me?” Eudora directly exposed Amos’ words.

At the other end of the phone, the man was silent for three seconds before he sneered.

“It’s okay if you want to think it that way. This is the price you have to pay for betraying! For as long as you’re still hanging around Christopher, I won’t let him go!”

Betrayal? Eudora frowned. “Hey…”

But the man had already hung up the phone.

Eudora took a deep look at Christopher, recalling the words that Amos had said just now. He said that he wouldn’t let Christopher go.

If it was someone else who said it, she might not believe it. However, since it was Amos who said it, she would believe it.

Even though they had spent a lot of good times together, she did personally witness the way he dealt with his Second Uncle and Felix Meyer.

On the way back, Eudora was distracted, while Christopher still remained somewhat optimistic.

“Forget it. Actually, we didn’t lose much. We could always find a new company next time. Besides, aren’t the finals of the design competition approaching soon? You’re quite busy recently too, stop torturing your mind with all these messy thoughts.”

“Okay.” Eudora nodded.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the plane in Rosaville City, they received a call from the company.

“President Gellert, are you guys back?”

“What’s wrong?” Christopher asked.

“Something happened at the construction site of the port warehouse!” said the person at the other side of the phone.

Upon hearing this, both of them were shocked. Last time, one of the workers died due to an accident at the construction site. If something were to happen again this time… the consequences would be unimaginable.

They didn’t have time to go back to the company. They immediately rushed to the construction site.

However, the words that Amos had said came to Eudora’s mind again. He said that he would not let Christopher live a good life.

Was it really him again this time?

When the two arrived at the construction site, everything had already stopped. The person in charge was waiting at the door. His face was dirty, and there was smoke coming out of the warehouse in the distance.

Seeing them come in, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. “President Gellert, you’re finally here. The fire was already put out!”

“What happened?” Christopher asked.
