Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Being Used And Paying Interest

Eudora had deliberately worked the morning shift. She went back home to change and went to the press conference with Amos.

Wendy’s press conference was huge. It was tailored according to the standards of big fashion brands. Of course, Amos had provided her the best resources to do so.

Auntie Agnes was waiting outside. When she saw Amos’ car coming in, she hurried to inform Wendy.

“Mr. Granger is here!”

Wendy hurried out and saw Eudora walking in with her hand wrapped around Amos’ arms.

She was stunned for a moment, and her expression gradually darkened.

But soon, she put on a smiling face and walked up to him with a familiar smile. “Amos, I didn’t expect you to bring Eudora along. I’m very glad.”

Amos didn’t say a word. There were already many people who had swarmed to greet him once he got off the car.

Eudora was not interested in them. She came here today for Wendy.

So, she let go of Amos and said. “Go ahead. I’ll sit here for a while.”

Amos knew that she never liked crowds, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”

After Amos left, Eudora found herself a seat and sat down. However, she had been paying attention to Wendy from the corner of her eyes.

Sure enough, Wendy went around the venue and eventually walked toward Eudora. She then sat down next to her.

“I’m sorry about what happened last time. I was in a bad mood then, so I said things that I shouldn’t have. Since you’re here today, let me propose a toast to you.”

Eudora looked at her. Her judgment was accurate. Wendy really was good at pretending. One moment she was hostile to her, the next she was nice to her.

However, since Wendy was willing to keep up the facade, perhaps she should just play along with her. After all, two could play this game.

“Okay!” Eudora raised her hand and clinked glasses with her gracefully.

Wendy paused and scrutinized Eudora’s expression. She then finally said with a smile, “Are you really not angry at me?”

“Why should I be? Didn’t you say that you were in a bad mood? What’s wrong? Aren’t you in a good mood now?”

Her nonchalant attitude made Wendy even more uncertain. She gradually showed a hesitant expression. Eudora saw this and said, “Why do you look like you’re scared of something? What are you afraid of?”

“Nothing!” Wendy immediately retorted, “I’m not afraid!”

“That’s good. I’m afraid Amos would blame it on me if you passed out in fear again,” Eudora said flatly.

“How could that be?” Wendy let out a dry laugh, and the two of them became silent.

Eudora lowered her head and swirled the glass in her hand. She was still scrutinizing Wendy from the corner of her eyes.

Wendy looked as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she came up to Eudora again.

“My design company has been doing well lately. My psychologist advised me to go on a trip. Where would you recommend?”

Eudora was stunned. “You’re asking the wrong person. I’d never traveled.”

“Have you never gone for a trip?” Wendy pretended to be surprised. “How could that be? Are you mistaken?”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips. “Are you saying that my memory is inaccurate?”

Wendy frowned. “I don’t know.”

However, she still didn’t give up and said, “When I was in the United States, I heard about Hawaii and San Diego, but I didn’t have a chance to go there. I wonder if it’s fun. What do you think?”

Eudora shook her head.

Wendy said with a regretful look, “That’s really a pity. I heard that San Diego’s beach is very beautiful. Hawaii is also a popular holiday destination.”

When she said those words, images of blue skies and beaches suddenly appeared in front of Eudora’s eyes. Along with sea breeze, the waves crashed against the shore.

Eudora frowned and said, “Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.”

After Eudora left, suspicion crept across Wendy’s face. “Has she really not been there? Then what’s with the necklace on her neck?”

…

Eudora’s mind was in a total mess. At this point, she was almost certain that there was indeed a deviation in her memory. However, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t remember.

She splashed her face with water and re-applied some makeup to freshen up.

When she came out, she saw Wendy talking to Amos.

She frowned and stepped forward to hold Amos’ arm.

The movement brought along a warm and unique aura on his arm. Amos raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Wendy was talking to Amos about her design company. She had finally found an opportunity to prove herself to him.

But halfway through their conversation, Wendy realized that Amos wasn’t listening to her at all. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Miss George, aren’t you tired? Why don’t you go over there and have a rest? You can go back after the ceremony is over…”

“No need for that.” Amos took the lead to speak. “The ceremony’s almost over, so I’ll be going soon. If there’s anything that you are unsure about, you should direct your queries to any of the company’s in-house designers. They are all experienced.”

After that, he took Eudora’s’ hand in his.

“Can you still walk?”

Of course, Eudora was able to walk. She just wanted to provoke Wendy, especially knowing that Wendy might be guilty, she wanted to provoke her even more.

“Sort of… but barely.”

“Then I’ll carry you!” After that, Amos motioned to pick her up, but Eudora hurriedly dodged it.

What was he thinking?! There were so many people around them. What would they say if they saw Amos carrying her? She just wanted to provoke Wendy, but she sure did not want to make trouble for herself.

“No thanks!”

Seeing that her ears were red, Amos stopped teasing her and turned to take her out.

After they left, Wendy was in a huff. Regardless of whether Eudora had something to do with that incident or not, she was already her enemy for sure.

…

After they left the building, Eudora suddenly let go of Amos’ arm.

Feeling the warmth on his hand disappear, Amos frowned and asked, “Letting go so quickly?”

Eudora was stunned as she looked into his bright eyes. Amos was smart. He could tell that Eudora acted that way deliberately to provoke Wendy.

“I’m sorry…”

Eudora murmured.

The man didn’t say a word and looked at her with burning eyes.

After a long time, he said, “You don’t have to apologize to me. I like being used by you. If a person is not even qualified to be used, it means that he has no value.”

“…” Eudora was speechless. Was he confessing his love?

The next second, he grabbed her waist again. “But… you have to pay some interest after using me.”

His arm was firmly fixed around her like an iron clamp, and Eudora could not move at all. His eyes were burning at her with a desire so strong that it was difficult for her to look away. How could she not understand?

Thinking of the scene when Amos was angry last time, Eudora subconsciously became more nervous.

Amos seemed to have thought of something. He reached out and pinched her earlobe. “Don’t be afraid of me…”

A thought came to Eudora’s mind. Before she could react, Amos had lowered his head and his soft, warm lips caught hers accurately.
