One Night Stand With That Beggar

Wendy Liam was still waiting for Amos’ reply. “Amos? What do you think?”

However, she noticed that Amos Granger was lost in his thoughts. After calling his name a few times, he finally came back to his senses.

“What’s wrong?”

“What were you thinking about?” Wendy asked, “Were you thinking about Miss George?”

Amos shook his head and answered, “No, this is delicious!”

“Really?” Wendy asked in excitement and said, “Then I’ll cook for you again tomorrow.”

“There’s no need for that,” Amos interjected. “Clint takes care of my meals every day. You have your own design studio to take care of, so don’t waste your time coming here.”

“It’s not a waste of time,” Wendy claimed. “I come here willingly!”

Amos frowned and said, “As I had said before, we each have our own lives. Your design studio needs to be on the right track. You’d better focus on it more in the future!”

Wendy was shocked when she heard what he said. The joy in her heart instantly vanished.

She thought that she could take this opportunity to get closer to Amos.

“Amos…” Wendy was not willing to give up. “Even if you have someone you love deeply, can’t we still be friends? I’ve always heard that President Granger from Valiant East is a man who knows how to repay kindness. Are you being mean to someone who had saved your life before?”

Upon hearing that, Amos’ fingers started tapping the table.

Wendy felt a burst of excitement in her heart. Did she succeed?

There were not many men who could endure such provocation.

Amos raised his head at the very next second and looked at her with his deep eyes, “Are you threatening me?”

Wendy’s face suddenly turned pale. “No, I was just saying…”

Amos snorted and said, “This kind of provocation does not work on me. Since you have heard that I am a man who knows how to repay kindness, you should know that I can turn against you in a heartbeat too!”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Wendy was shocked. “I know that, Amos. I was just confused. Please don’t be angry. I’ll go back now. I’ll focus on running that design studio that you had set up for me!”

After that, she hurriedly got up and fled Amos’ office.

When she walked to the door, she almost bumped into Clint Zuckerberg. Clint frowned and hurried inside. When he saw that Amos was alright, he was relieved.

“President Granger, why was Miss Liam running away?”

“I told her to leave!” Amos said.

“Why?” Clint asked surprisingly.

Amos didn’t respond. It took him quite some time to speak, “Clint, do you think that a person can change?”

Clint thought for a moment and said, “Probably!”

“For example?

“For example, if the person had gone through a major trauma or incident, that person might change!”

Amos nodded simply. “Perhaps!”

……

After coming out of the office, Wendy realized that she had lost her composure. How could she be so rude towards Amos? She used to be brave and fearless, and now she had become such an anxious and weak person.

There was no way to turn back time. Wendy could only move on and let nature take its course.

As she was still thinking about it, a car drove past her.

She saw Eudora George sitting in the driver’s seat. She coincidentally still had doubts that needed to be clarified. So, she hurriedly ran over.

Eudora had to drive past that road every day to go to the construction site. But today, she realized that someone was following her.

Her driving skills were decent, so she sped up.

Wendy, who was behind her, was soon thrown off. Eudora smiled proudly and snapped her fingers.

She rarely did this kind of daring acts. Christopher Gellert, who was in the car with her, couldn’t help but tease, “From the looks of it, the one who was following us just now was probably one of your love rivals. I thought you would stop and beat her up!”

“Ain’t nobody got time for that!” Eudora glanced at him.

“Really? But you have time to compete with her in terms of speed?”

Eudora was speechless.

Since he had seen through her, Eudora glared at him grumpily. “I made the effort to pick you up so early today, and now you’re sticking up for others? Are you my friend or not? Be careful, I might not pick you up tomorrow!” Eudora said crabbily.

“My bad! Okay?” Christopher said with a smile.

“That’s more like it.”

Christopher was getting used to his new job at the warehouse. His car had broken down in the morning and he didn’t want to be late to work and get caught by Amos. Therefore, he asked Eudora to pick him up.

They chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the site. After Christopher got out of the car and said, “Go back quickly, don’t let the head office find fault with you.”

Eudora nodded and watched Christopher enter the warehouse. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Wendy, who she thought she had lost along the way.

“Eudora, I want to talk to you.”

Eudora refused bluntly, “We have nothing to talk about.”

“Yes, we do,” Wendy said as she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a bite mark on her skin.

“Look at this mark.”

Eudora frowned and questioned, “Why are you showing me this?”

“This is Amos’ bite mark. Take a closer look!”

Eudora looked at the tooth mark, and an image inexplicably flashed through her mind. Before she had time to grasp it, it fizzled out without a trace. At the same time, her arm suddenly felt as if it was being stabbed by something, and she felt a dull pain.

Eudora clenched her fist and said, “What about it?”

Wendy frowned and said in rage, “This is a memory that belongs to Amos and I. It’s something you don’t have. I knew him first. You’re an outsider, but now you’ve snatched my position.”

She tried to lift Eudora’s sleeve but Eudora immediately took a step back and avoided her grasp.

But the pendant on her neck was exposed to Wendy. Wendy was stunned and looked at her with shock.

Eudora happened to capture that expression and she frowned.

“You should talk to Amos about this.”

“No, I won’t!” Wendy glared at her. “I’m talking to you. Do you think you’re that almighty? If you hadn’t been so reluctant to give Amos up, he wouldn’t have been so unwilling to let you go either. Even if you hadn’t shown up yesterday, I could have saved him.”

“So?” Eudora gritted her teeth and said, “If you could have saved him, you should have gone ahead then. Have I ever stopped you? Why are you arguing with me? If I were you, I would try to find a way to capture Amos’ heart. It would then be a great relief for both of us!”

After that, she opened her car door and got inside, leaving Wendy behind.

As she left, Wendy slowly realized what she saw, the pendant…

The more Wendy thought about it, the more nervous she became. It was not until a car honked behind her that she finally came back to her senses.

Just as she was about to get into her car, she heard a voice that unnerved her.

“My little angel, did the car accident hurt you last time? Let me take a closer look at you.”

Wendy felt a chill in her heart and looked up at the face of the person who spoke. She hurriedly pushed him away and yelled, “Don’t come near me!”

“My dear, if you keep doing this, I might really get angry.”
