Chapter 10: Chapter 10 What Do You Think I Am

Eudora George took a deep breath and turned the door handle.

As she stepped inside, she noticed a large extravagant desk in the center of the room. The man was leaning with his back against the desk.

“Mr. Granger!” Eudora spoke.

“Ah! You’re here.” Amos Granger’s voice was very calm and indifferent.

On the other hand, the indifference in Amos’ voice made Eudora even more nervous.

“Don’t be nervous. Take a seat.” Amos said as he turned around to face Eudora. He was just as stunning as she had seen him yesterday.

And his eyes especially. If you stare at them long enough, his watchful gaze seemed to be able to pierce through your soul.

“That’s alright!” Eudora placed the file on the table. “This is the Phantom Group’s proposal. Please take a look.”

“There’s no need to rush!” Amos didn’t even glance at the document on the table. He walked around the table and towards Eudora.

His tall stature was very intimidating as he approached her. With every step he took towards her, Eudora could feel her heart tremble as she took a step back.

“Why did you look like you didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Ah?” Eudora was confused. ‘What did he mean?’ she thought to herself.

“Felix doesn’t treat you very well, does he?”

“What are you trying to say, Mr. Granger? Does it matter if Felix treats me well or not? What does that have to do with you or with the project?”

“Of course it has something to do with the project!”

Amos replied calmly, “If it wasn’t for you, the Phantom Group wouldn’t even have the chance to bid for the project.”

Eudora didn’t realise that she had walked herself to the corner of the office, her back falling against the wall. There were no other ways to escape. Once again, she was cornered to the wall by the man. He breathed in her scent.

It was that very scent that made him intoxicated.

Eudora knew the intentions of the man standing in front of her – her hands instinctively reached towards his chest to push him away.

“Mr. Granger, I’ve told you last night that we’re even now and we don’t owe each other anymore. If you are going to act so inappropriately towards me again, rest assured I will not hold back.”

Amos chuckled, “Are you afraid of me?”

“I know what you’re trying to do to me. Obviously I’d be scared, won’t I?” Eudora responded.

Amos heard what she said and let go of her.

He sat on the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him. “You knew and yet you still came here?”

“I’m here for the project!” Eudora picked up the file from the table and pushed it to Amos.

Amos still refused to look at the proposal. “Didn’t I make myself clear? Any other company can do the project much better. Why should I choose Phantom Group? Give me a reason.”

Eudora clenched her teeth. “What do I have to do to make you take a look at the proposal.”

“Be my woman!” Amos exclaimed.

“Impossible!” Eudora was taken aback. “I’m married. I’m Felix Meyer’s wife.”

“Oh!” Amos was not surprised at all. “So what if you’re married? Weren’t you the one who seek me out that night? We’re all adults, we have our own needs. I think you understand…”

‘We have our own needs?’

Eudora’s face turned pale. “What kind of person do you think I am?”

Amos raised his eyebrows, “A married woman roaming around in the middle of the night to find a man to pleasure herself. What kind of person do you think I will see you as?”

“You!” Eudora’s face turned red. “That night was just an accident! Mr. Granger, if you do not have any plans to discuss about the proposal, then I don’t think we have anything else to say to each other.”

“Ok!” Amos crossed his legs and stared lazily at the upset woman in front of him. “If you reject me today, I believe there will be repercussions waiting for you at the Meyer Family yes?”

“That’s none of your business!”

After that, Eudora rushed out and left the office.
