Chapter 186: Chapter 186 No One Would Be Able To Save You

Amos was stunned. He didn’t know how things had turned out like this, but for someone as smart as himself, he guessed quickly who had come up with this idea.

It must be the doing of Clint and the others. They saw that he was in a bad mood, thus they asked Eudora to come here.

Thinking of this, Amos shook his head. “Although I am angry, it will not affect my judgment. There is no problem with the drawing, but Anya does not have the qualification to handle such a big case. It would only bring us more trouble if she couldn’t find a good designer to finish this project together after I agree to the proposal. As a senior designer, you should know this, don’t you?”

It never occurred to Eudora that Amos would say that, but she had to admit that he had a point.

“Don’t you have a lot of experienced designers in your company? Can’t you…”

“Miss George, are you willing to do it?” Amos interrupted her directly.

Eudora George was stunned and immediately shook her head. “Are you kidding me?”

“Yes, you are her good friend, and yet you are not willing to take on this risk. What makes you think others will be willing to? When you first started, you had those who doubted your skills as well. You should know how this industry is. There is no senior designer who is willing to be a foil to others, and Anya naturally will not agree to give away her own efforts to others like this.”

Eudora had nothing to say, because Amos was right.

After a while, Eudora nodded. “I understand!”

After that, she retrieved the drawing and walked out.

When the onlookers saw Eudora coming out of Amos’s office alive and well, plus the fact that the president didn’t break anything, they were so stunned that their mouths dropped to the ground.

“What’s going on? Who exactly is this lady?”

The one who questioned was a newbie who came to the Valiant East not too long ago, so he didn’t know Eudora. However, there was an experienced employee beside him who recognized her.

“Isn’t this the lady who used to come to our office five years ago? At that time, President Granger had a very good relationship with her. However, she stopped coming here a while later, and President Granger got into a car accident not too long after that.”

This person seemed to have ignited a bomb. The colleagues buzzed all at the same time, starting a whirlwind of gossip.

Clint interrupted them, “I hope all of you refrain from discussing President Granger’s personal life. Isn’t the most important thing now is for you to take advantage of President Granger’s good mood and submit your proposals?”

Clint’s words startled them and burst their bubble of gossip. They were stunned for a second before they rushed towards Amos’s office all at once.

After everyone left, Clint walked in happily and asked, “President Granger, shall I prepare an office for Miss George?”

Amos glanced at him and huffed, “You’re getting braver and braver. How dare you make decisions for me now? Did I say that I want her to come to Valiant East?”

Clint thought to himself, “Your expression says everything. Why are you still pretending?”

However, at the surface, he grinned at Amos, “No, I made the decision on my own. I will accept my punishment.”

“That’s enough!” Amos said, “She hasn’t agreed yet. We’d better not prepare her office yet, in case she finds out.”

Clint was stunned. “She hasn’t agreed yet?”

“Yet you’re this happy already? I thought she had agreed! You’re too easy to please, aren’t you?” Clint thought to himself.

Amos seemed to know what Clint was thinking, at the same time he seemed like he was answering to himself, “She will agree.”

…

When Eudora went downstairs, she saw that Anya Astor was still waiting for her.

Eudora handed the drawing back to Anya apologetically and told her what Amos had said.

“Sorry, I can’t help you.”

Anya shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. I’m clear about my current qualifications as well, but now I know that President Granger did not mean that my drawings are not good. That alone is good enough for me.”

Eudora thought for a moment and suggested, “Maybe you should modify it according to Amos’ idea. After all, design and time both wait for no one. After a period of time, there will be new changes and new ideas.”

Even if it was a good plan, holding onto it for too long will cause someone to catch up with it. This way, the original plan will lose its value.

Anya shook her head. “You’re right, but I can’t change this drawing. I did it with him. I promised him that I would make it a reality.”

Eudora was stunned. “Him?”

Anya rubbed her eyes quickly, “My husband. He passed away three years ago.”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. It turned out a lot of things had happened over the past few years. No wonder Anya decided not to be his assistant anymore and ventured into designing.

All Anya wanted was to fulfill the dream she had promised her husband, didn’t she?

Seeing that Eudora’s face was pale, Anya quickly smiled and said, “I’m fine. It’s all in the past. But you have a new life now, and I’m very happy for you. However, President Granger is still very concerned about you. If you have made peace with the past, perhaps you should consider giving him a chance.”

Anya then added very sincerely. “In the past, we always thought that we had all the time in our hands. However, things are very unpredictable. Some things that are gone will be gone forever, with no room left for negotiation. Can you imagine, one second he was talking to me about our future, the next second he was gone?”

Eudora admitted that she was moved. She could also tell that Anya loved her husband very much.

In a daze, Eudora suddenly said, “I’ll help you.”

Anya was stunned. “Miss George, what did you say?”

“I said I’ll help you!” Eudora repeated again. “Didn’t Amos say that you can’t accomplish this project without a senior designer? I’ll help you! I’ll be your assistant and you’ll be the head designer. I believe we can do it.”

Anya was stunned. “But with your current status…”

“What status? I’m still Eudora. When I was at my lowest, you helped me, and I will never ever forget it. That’s settled!”

After that, Eudora grabbed Anya’s hand and said, “Let’s go. We’ll go up together.”

Tears welled up in Anya’s eyes. “Miss George, thank you.”

“Don’t call me Miss George. You can call me Eudora!”

“Miss Eudora!” In the end, Anya still refused to address her by her name. Miss Eudora didn’t seem too bad as well.

…

Upstairs, Clint, who had just finished complaining, saw Eudora return.

He hurriedly greeted, “Miss George.”

“Fine, I agree!” said Eudora, directing at Amos. “I am willing to complete this design with Anya. I hope that the company can give her this opportunity.”

Clint was too stunned for words.

He stared at Amos with admiration. Man, he was right!

However, Amos suddenly retorted, “Yes, you have agreed, but why should I agree to this? Can you give me a reason?”

Clint was speechless. “Wake up, President Granger. Don’t be too arrogant. Be careful, or else she might run away again.  Then, you will lock yourself up and throw tantrums all over again.”

If that happened, No one would be able to save you.
