Chapter 92 Stop Talking Nonsense
The result of the selection was released three days later.
As expected, Eudora George’s design blueprint had been selected for the second round of the competition.
A TV station collaborated with the organizer of the competition. Therefore, there would be a live broadcast for the second round.
They even hired a few experienced designers to be the judges.
Eudora was very nervous. She had already begun to recite her manuscript at home since a week ago.
Amos Granger leaned against the sofa and looked at her, the smiles in his eyes grew wider.
“Don’t be nervous.” he said.
“Are you laughing at me? Did I say it in a trembling voice?” Eudora looked at him and asked, “What do I do? I couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought of so many people in front of me.”
“Well, you can just pretend that they’re me.” Amos said.
“But, you’re not the audience!” Eudora frowned and said, “Also, there would be a lot of judges, and they are all experienced designers. Some of them are even quite influential. What should I do?”
Eudora’s anxiety grew as she continued to speak…
Amos looked at Eudora’s chattering lips. All of a sudden, he reached out his hand and pulled her towards him.
He gave her a hot and passionate French kiss, and asked, “Is it better now?”
Eudora’s mind went blank. She had forgotten everything in her manuscript.
“Absolutely not!” After saying that, she pushed Amos away and said, “Forget it, I’d better practice on my own!”
However, Amos grasped her hand to pull her towards him again. He forced her to sit on his thigh.
“Don’t look around when you’re talking. You should focus on the camera in front of you, and imagine your dream is inside the camera. You have to challenge yourself to pursue your dream. Try it!” Amos said.
Upon hearing this, Eudora frowned. Amos picked up a round cup on the table and asked her to imagine the cup as the camera. “Look here.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Eudora took a deep breath and did according to what Amos said.
Her dream was right in front of her, and she had to work hard to achieve her goals.
Sure enough, Eudora could finally give the speech in a much better way. She kissed Amos’ cheek happily and said, “That was such a good idea.”
Amos was just about to grab Eudora’s arm. However, Eudora escaped quickly.
“I’m going upstairs to read a book.” She said.
Amos couldn’t contain his laughter. Eudora looked at him after running for a few steps. “There are only three days left to the competition. It starts at three o’clock that afternoon. You must come to support me okay?”
“Okay!” Amos nodded his head and said.
Amos talked to Clint Zuckerberg as soon as he arrived at the company, “Please do not arrange anything for me in the afternoon three days later. I have something personal to attend to.”
Clint snickered, “It’s the day of Miss George’s design competition, right?”
Amos nodded his head and said, “Yes, I must be there to support her.” His words were filled with affection.
Clint was a little flustered, but he still said, “Okay, I’ll make sure that your schedule is clear.”
“By the way,” Amos asked again, “How is the preparation for Wendy’s design company going?”
“Everything is ready now. The business can be started once Miss Liam’s condition is stable.” Clint answered.
“Okay, let’s start after the design competition then!”
All of a sudden, Amos’ mobile phone rang while they were talking. The phone call was from Wendy Liam. Amos pursed his lips and passed the phone to Clint.
“Ask her why she’s calling me. If there’s nothing urgent, just tell her that I’m in a meeting.”
Clint nodded his head and answered the phone call.
Wendy said sweetly, “Amos, the weather is good today. Shall we go out for a walk?”
Clint was speechless, he felt goosebumps all over his skin, “I’m sorry, Miss Liam. President Granger is currently in a meeting.” he said without confidence.
Wendy remained silent for a while. Then, she said, “Oh, so it’s you Clint!”
“Yes.”
“Oh! If that’s the case, please tell Amos that I called.”
“Okay!” Clint responded. Then, Wendy hung up the phone call.
Clint had expected this. He once told Mr. Louis a long time ago that Amos would get into trouble if he were to see two women at the same time. However, he also felt sorry for his boss. Amos had to repay his lifesaver’s kindness, but he had to care about Eudora’s feelings on the other hand.
……
After Wendy hung up the phone, the servant came in with some clothes.
“Miss Liam, what do you think of this dress?”
“I don’t need it anymore!” Wendy said.
“What’s wrong?” The servant looked at Wendy in puzzlement and asked, “Have you called Mr. Granger?”
“He’s in a meeting!” Wendy said.
“Oh, Mr. Granger owns such a big company. He must be very busy. Shall I go out with you then?” The servant asked.
“No thanks, I’m not in the mood.” After Wendy finished speaking, she asked with uncertainty again, “Is Amos really in a meeting? It seemed as if he hadn’t been here for a long time already.”
“It wasn’t that long though? Although Mr. Granger doesn’t come by every day, the doctor is still here every day. He cares about you!” The servant noticed how Wendy seemed to be over-thinking again, thus she said some comforting words.
“Look at the weather outside, why don’t we go to the park you’ve been to last time? Didn’t Mr. Granger mention that he would register a company for you? Well, you can go to work once you’ve recovered, and you won’t have to trouble him anymore. Therefore, Mr. Granger would also be free to spend more time with you, right?” The servant said.
Upon hearing this, Wendy nodded her head and said, “Alright then, let’s go out for a stroll!”
The chauffeur brought them out.
The weather was indeed good. Wendy decided to go shopping all of a sudden.
The servant went to a mall with Wendy, and they both split up as the servant had to do the groceries.
Shopping on her own, Wendy saw a beautiful quilt cover set. When she was about to touch it, a dark figure entered her sight.
Wendy was startled. The man was smiling evilly at her, walking towards her.
Wendy’s face turned pale in an instant. She turned around and ran as fast as she could. However, the man behind was catching up with her! He said, “Darling, why are you running? I thought I would never see you again!”
Wendy shrieked with all her might, “Please don’t follow me!”
In the end, Wendy bumped into her servant. The servant was shocked, “Miss Liam, what happened?”
Wendy looked back again to find that the person had disappeared.
“What’s wrong? Are you hallucinating again?” The servant looked at her nervously. It would be her fault if something bad ever happened to Wendy. “Shall we go back?”
Wendy nodded her head and said, “Yes, let’s go back now.” She felt like she almost died back there.
Wendy locked herself in her room as soon as they reached home.
The servant was a little worried. She knocked on the door and asked, “Miss Liam, are you okay? Shall I call a doctor to see you?”
Wendy shook her head and said, “No.”
The servant frowned and remembered Amos would comfort her whenever she didn’t want to see a doctor. Therefore, she asked again, “Do you want Mr. Granger to come over?”
Unexpectedly, Wendy’s reaction became bigger.
“No! Don’t call Amos here!”
The servant was confused. She asked, “Did you see anyone just now?”
Wendy opened the door directly to glare at the servant, “What are you talking about? I didn’t see anything. Stop talking nonsense!”
