Chapter 119 I’m So Disappointed In You
Eudora George opened her mouth slightly and said, “Of course not!”
“Then why did you go back to him? Did he threaten you? Tell me, I’ll find a way out for you!”
Christopher Gellert was very anxious. He stared at Eudora, as if he was trying to find an answer through her eyes.
Eudora was also looking into Christopher’s eyes. In fact, she had never had any friends since she was a child. After her mother’s died, Eudora was put in the same school as Kesha George. Kesha had always loved being in the center of everyone’s attention, so she had always gotten along with the girls in school.
It was also that very reason that Kesha had never allowed the others to hang out with Eudora. Those who were willing to follow Kesha would not play with her.
Eudora didn’t care about those people either. Since those people were easily influenced by others, why should she care about them then?
As time went by, she no longer had any friends.
She thought that she would never have any friends in her life until she met Christopher.
She could tell that Christopher was a true friend who sincerely wanted to help her. However, because he was her friend, she could not allow Christopher to take the risk for her.
Christopher was not welcomed by his own family, and it was already not easy for him to achieve what he had achieved today in his career. So how could Eudora bear to see him destroy his own career just for her.
Finally, Eudora shook her head and said, “No, he didn’t threaten me!”
“Then what’s the reason? Don’t tell me that you can’t live without him!”
Eudora smiled bitterly in her heart, “I guess so!”
Upon hearing this, Christopher gritted his teeth and said, “Eudora, I’m so disappointed in you.”
“I’m sorry!” Eudora apologized and returned to her seat.
During her stay at the hospital, she had read a lot of books on designing. Eudora thought that she might be able to help Christopher get Everpeace Group back from TEM Inc. If she was able to do that, it would definitely benefit both Christopher and the Everpeace Group.
However, they would need a lot of funding, so she could only take it one step at a time.
If they wanted to make a name for the Everpeace Group, they would need to produce a design that would catch the public’s eye.
However, at present, the leading real estate company was still Valiant East. They had all the resources, and they were a large scale company. Most of the well-known projects were already taken over by them. Hence, it would be hard for them to gather resources to prove themselves that they were a capable company too.
No matter what, Eudora still insisted on giving a try. As she was thinking about it, she was compiling the materials on all the iconic projects that had happened in Roseville City during the recent years.
After binding them up, she got up and walked towards Christopher’s office.
Christopher was still angry because of the argument that they had in the morning. When he saw Eudora coming, he pulled a long face and did not speak to her at all. On the other hand, Eudora was not angry at him. She directly handed him the information that she had gathered.
Christopher looked down and asked, “What is this?”
“These are some of the most iconic projects in Rosaville City. I think we can give it a try.”
Christopher skimmed through the documents briefly and asked, “Why?”
“No specific reasons!” Eudora smiled and said, “I just feel that our company needs to prove ourselves and let the world see that we are capable. Shouldn’t we do that? Besides, we only have the warehouse to work on for now and I believe that the reconstruction will be completed soon. What about the previous projects? We can’t be relying on TEM Inc. to provide us with more projects, can we?”
In fact, what Eudora had said was very reasonable. Christopher had already thought about it a long time ago, but he had temporarily forgotten about it because of the argument earlier today.
Looking at the information that Eudora had sorted out, his mood seemed to have turned better.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that in the morning. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do. In fact, I don’t have the right to comment anything about you at all!”
“No! Don’t worry about it!” Eudora shook her head. “I’m glad that you treated me as your friend.”
“Really?” Christopher seemed to brighten up. “Then let’s work hard together and make Everpeace Group bigger and better so that we could get rid of TEM’s control as soon as possible.”
Both of them went out to meet with several customers in the afternoon.
Just as they had expected, the initial stage was extremely hard. All the companies that they had visited refused to let them in.
Their efforts for the whole afternoon were in vain.
On their way back, Eudora was a little disappointed. Seeing that she was in a gloomy mood, Christopher said,
“I remember that there’s a café here that’s quite good. Let’s go there. I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee!”
Eudora nodded. Just as they were about to enter, they saw Wendy Liam and Auntie Agnes walking through the door.
“Miss George!” Wendy smiled
Eudora frowned. She did not reply.
Wendy said again, “It seems like you have been discharged from the hospital. I have always wanted to visit you again! This is Mr. Gellert, right? I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Christopher had never had a good impression of Wendy, so his tone was not very polite.
“Miss Liam, I don’t really want to see you though.”
Wendy heard him and paused awkwardly. She pinched her palm and said with a smile, “Mr. Gellert, it seems like you like to joke.”
“No, I never joke. I just can’t bear to see or even talk to a home-wrecker!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Wendy’s face turned pale in an instant, and Auntie Agnes, who was next to her, hurriedly held her up. “Miss…”
“Take care!” After saying that, Christopher tugged Eudora’s shirt and dragged her into the café.
Wendy gritted her teeth and said, “Ha…”
Auntie Agnes said angrily, “What do those people know? You were the one who met him first. If it weren’t for you, would he even be here today?”
To Wendy, Auntie Agnes’ words sounded even more sarcastic in her ears.
“That’s enough! You can go to the store first. I need a quiet walk by myself.”
Auntie Agnes was stunned. “But you look very pale now. Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?
“There’s no need!” After saying that, Wendy broke away from Auntie Agnes’ hand and left in the opposite direction.
It was not until Auntie Agnes’ figure had diminished from her sight that Wendy gritted her teeth and murmured, “Eudora George, who do you think you are? I will not forgive you for the humiliation I have suffered today!”
As she said those words, she suddenly saw a figure through the mirror behind her. That person was smiling at her.
She hurriedly turned around but the figure had already disappeared.
Wendy was shocked. She hurriedly placed her hand on her chest and turned around to leave, but she was blocked by a man.
“My little Wendy, why did you come here? I have been looking for you for such a long time!”
Wendy looked at the man in front of her in horror. The man’s evil smirk and all kinds of torture started to appear in her mind.
“Get the hell out of my way!”
The man smiled and took two steps forward. Wendy pushed him away and ran in the opposite direction.
Behind Wendy was a busy main road. Without looking at the traffic lights, she ran across the road. In the next second, a car came over and hit Wendy with a loud bang.
