Wendy was stunned. âI wonât leave.â
But Clint had already walked over and said, âMiss Liam, youâd better go! The person whom President Granger needs now is Miss George, not you.â
âYouâ¦â Wendy gritted her teeth and stared at Clint, but there was nothing she could do. Clint was Amosâ assistant, so it wasnât wise to get into a fight with him. She then tried to persuade him, âWhy donât we call a doctor? Miss George isnât a doctor. She canât help with his condition either.â
Clint didnât have time to explain, so he said bluntly, âMiss Liam, you donât know the truth. Please get out, otherwise, Iâll call security!â
Wendy was very upset but she couldnât do anything else except leave.
Only then did Eudora George start taking off Amosâ clothes. She wiped his body carefully with a warm damp cloth Even though she had wiped his body thoroughly with the towel, Amos still did not wake up. Perhaps too much time had passed. Eudora was anxious. âPlease bring me some ice cubes.â
Eudora made cold compresses with the ice cubes and pressed them on his body, but still there wasnât much progress.
Clint started getting anxious as he yelled next to Amos, âPresident Granger, itâs Miss George. Miss George is here. Please open your eyes.â
Eudora nodded as well, âItâs me!â Then, she grabbed his hand and continued, âAmos, please wake up!â
Amosâ fingers moved slightly, and Eudoraâs heart was immediately filled with joy. She quickly hugged him, and exclaimed excitedly, âYouâre awake!â
Seeing her reaction, Clint turned away instinctively.
Eudora was embarrassed and she quickly got up. âLet me take a lookâ¦â
âDonât move,â Amos ordered. He held her body tightly with his strong arm and pressed her on his body. âWill you lay here with me for a while?â
Eudora was shocked, then she looked into his eyes. Being that close to him made her notice the faint dark circles under his eyes.
âDid you not sleep well for the past few days?â
Amos pursed his lips and said, âItâs all right. Just sleep by my side for a while. Iâll be fine soon.â
âBut your rashesâ¦â
He gradually lowered his voice and said, âWith you around, Iâm not worried at allâ¦â
Eudora frowned. She wanted to move but she immediately stopped when she saw Amos sleeping soundly. She lay on his body and stared at him.
Even when he was asleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed. Fortunately, the red rashes on his face were fading away slowly.
It wasnât until then that Eudora finally felt relieved and slowly fell asleep.
â¦
Wendy had been waiting for a long time outside the door, but nothing much seemed to have happened inside. She stood up.
âIs he all right now? Let me go in and take a look.â
âMiss Liam!â Clint tried to stop her, âYou canât go in.â
âWhy canât I? Amos is in danger. Arenât you supposed to take care of him as his assistant?â
Clint frowned and replied in a slightly annoyed tone, âMiss Liam, Iâve been with President Granger for more than ten years. I know him better than you do.â
It was only then that Wendy realized she had misspoken. She hurriedly apologized.
âIâm sorry, I was just too worried. Assistant Zuckerberg, please forgive me.â
Clint didnât have a good impression of Wendy. He had been tolerant of her because she was President Grangerâs lifesaver. He believed that President Granger had repaid his debts when he risked his life to bring her back from the States.
President Granger had even helped her start a company. Yet, Miss Liam still wanted more, even though she clearly knew President Granger was deeply in love with Miss George.
At first, he thought Miss Liam was President Grangerâs true love.
However, as things progressed, it was still Miss George who saved President Granger.
President Granger may continue to dwell on the fact that Miss Liam had saved his life, but he did not need to!
Therefore, Clint replied bluntly, âMiss Liam, you may leave first if you have something to do. President Granger is going to be fine!â
Wendy finally stopped and did not dare speak again.
A long time had passed, and Eudora and Amos were still sleeping soundly on the sofa. There was no sign of movement in the room as the sky grew dark.
Wendy couldnât wait any longer. When Clint left to deal with some work, she went ahead and opened the door.
She saw Amos lying on the sofa and Eudora lying on top of him. Both of them were sleeping soundly.
Wendy was dumbfounded. Clint, who had just come back, immediately caught up to her and dragged her out.
âMiss Liam, since you have seen it, I wonât hide it from you anymore. Miss George and President Granger have a very close relationship. No other else could compare. Youâre very welcome to give them your blessings, but if you donât wish to do so, Iâd suggest that you stop causing trouble between them. Otherwise, not only President Granger but the people around him might not let you go as well.â
After that, Clint told the driver to send Wendy back.
â¦
In the room, Eudora was awake when she noticed Wendy being dragged out by Clint. She heard everything that Clint had said.
She felt inexplicably embarrassed. She had never done anything for Clint and the others before. Why did they think so highly of her?
While she was still think about this, Amos suddenly spoke, âWhatâs on your mind?â
Eudora was stunned and hurriedly raised her head. Her eyes met his clear ones.
âYou were awake this whole time?â
âYes,â Amos nodded and continued, âI didnât want to move since you were sleeping so soundly.â
She took a look at his body. All the rashes had subsided.
Eudora frowned and asked, âDidnât you hear what Clint had said to Wendy? Clint was scolding your savior. Why didnât you help her out?â
Upon hearing this, Amosâ face turned gloomy again.
âDo you want to leave me that badly?â
Eudora suddenly fell silent. She remembered the scene when she first arrived here. Her heart ached when she recalled Amosâ weak state.
She couldnât help but ask, âWhy didnât you allow Wendy to help you? Maybe she could have saved you?â
âWhy should I let her try? Youâre my woman, arenât you?â
Eudora remained silent.
She could not refute, âAmos, thank you for trusting me. Iâ¦â
She hadnât finished her sentence but Amos had turned his back to her.
âYou should go back. Iâll ask the driver to send you home. You must be tired.â
He didnât want to talk more. He was afraid that she would bring up the topic of leaving him again.
âWhat about you?â Eudora blurted out.
Hearing this, Amos turned back and stared at her deeply. She hurriedly lowered her head and wondered in her heart. Why did she ask such a question?
Seeing this, Amos turned his head away too.
âI still have a lot of work to deal with. You should go home.â
âI donât need a driver. I drove here.â Eudora said as she turned around and left.
Amos returned to his seat but his eyes were fixed downwards. He didnât regain his composure until Eudoraâs silhouette became tinier and eventually disappeared from his sight.
Clint came in to ask about what happened but Amos only scowled.
âPlease check the new secretaryâs background and the person who hired her.â
Clint was stunned. âAre you suspecting that someone did it on purpose?â
âMost definitely. â Amos said in a hoarse voice. No one would have dared to use the opportunity of sending a contract to get close to him. She couldnât have done it unless someone had arranged for it to happen.
