Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Do I Have the Right to Reject This?

Tina Steward felt her head buzz as though she had been hit by a hammer.

In a trance, she sensed the comfort from Harley’s tenderness, “I like you!”

Suddenly, her cheeks were hot. She felt like Harley was looking at her again. She closed her eyes hurriedly and pretended to be asleep.

The next second, Harley ran his fingers along her forehead gently, “Hey, you should get up now. Aren’t you tired of sleeping all day?”

Thea was embarrassed. She then quickly opened her eyes.

The two of them did not speak and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a long time, Thea asked, “Did I do anything to you last night?”

Harley Louis was momentarily speechless.

“No!”

“That’s good!” Thea breathed a sigh of relief as her face relaxed.

Harley frowned, “Are you that happy?”

“Of course. I’m glad that I did not do anything stupid while I was drunk, else I’ll be screwed…”

The next second, Harley blurted, “Who said that you didn’t do anything? You kissed me!”

Thea was speechless.

“That’s not really a big deal, right?”

“What’s not a big deal? Aren’t you a woman? Don’t you know the importance of chastity, regardless of your gender?”

Thea looked confused, “It is important. However, I don’t think you would have done it, would you?”

Harley was speechless again.

“You are discriminating. Although I may fool around a lot, I have never kissed those women before. Haven’t you heard that kissing is a way to enter each other’s soul? What if I meet a girl who likes me in the future but you had stolen my first kiss?”

Thea didn’t know much about the passage to the soul, but somehow she felt like Harley’s words made sense.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

Harley glanced at her and said, “Nothing much. I just want you as my girlfriend for now while I am waiting for the girl of my dreams!”

Thea subconsciously rejected him, but she suddenly thought of Harley’s expression and words from the night before, “I like you!”

Subconsciously, she nodded and said, “Fine.”

Meanwhile, it was as quiet as a mouse on Christopher’s side. They did not interact throughout the whole journey. However, if one looked closely, one could see the smile in Tina’s eyes.

What could beat being confessed by an interested suitor?

…

When they arrived back at Rosaville City, the three of them went back to their respective homes. It was late by the time they got back to Amos’ mansion, so Eudora and the others went straight to their rooms.

After thinking for a while, Eudora went to the kitchen to boil an egg. After Amos took a shower and came out of the bathroom, she placed the boiled egg inside a hand towel and handed it to him.

“You should rub this over your eye!”

Amos said coquettishly, “Could you please help me?”

Eudora gave him a reproachful look, then sat down beside him and gently rubbed his eyes.

As she rubbed, she muttered, “Is Charlie tired? Was that why he didn’t save you in time? Why don’t you hire another bodyguard to protect you?”

Amos was speechless and he slapped her on the ass.

“You really don’t remember, or are you just pretending not to?

Eudora was stunned. She opened her mouth slightly and said, “I really don’t remember!”

Amos’s throat tightened and he could not help but lower his head and kiss her lips. He swallowed all of her surprise and spoke after a long time.

“May I?”

Eudora was stunned and she became even more confused. Why would Amos ask for her permission? When did he ever give a damn?

Scattered fragments flashed across her mind, and Eudora suddenly shivered, “Was I the one who punched you last night?”

“D*mn girl, you finally remembered!”

Oh no! She was the one who punched him. That was why Charlie couldn’t save him. Why was she so stupid?

However, thinking of her own grievances, she replied, “No!”

Amos’s eyes darkened. He kissed her on the lips for a long time before he turned over, “I’m going to sleep now!”

Was he really not going to touch her? Eudora’s heart was filled with joy. She then leaned over and kissed him gently on his bruised eyes.

“Thank you!”

Amos stretched out his long arm and held her down, “Behave yourself. Don’t start anything.”

He had a good night’s sleep.

The next day, when Eudora woke up, she received a phone call from Christopher Gellert, “Eudora, there’s something that I need to trouble you with.”

“What’s wrong?” Eudora asked.

While we were away those two days, one of our colleagues accepted a project. When I learned about it this morning, I discovered that all the papers had been signed, and our collaborators had specifically requested that you take charge of this.

Eudora was stunned, “I guess it’s fine.”

“It’s not as simple as you think it is. Anyway, I think you’d better come here quickly. You’ll understand when you see it!”

Eudora got out of bed hurriedly, washed up, and rushed to the office. When she arrived at the door, she saw Tina Holt smiling at her.

Since she was smiling so sweetly, Eudora returned the smile and followed her to the office.

Christopher handed her the contract and said, “Take a look.”

Eudora picked it up, flipped the pages, and read the contract. Her face gradually became serious.

It was a contract for an amusement park. When Eudora first saw the words ‘amusement park’, she thought of Steven Granger. As expected, when she turned to the last page, she saw Steven’s signature.

“Steven?”

Christopher nodded, “If I remember correctly, this is the son of Amos’ second uncle. He must have just gotten back from the United States.”

“Yes!” Eudora nodded. When Steven mentioned this to her the other day, she had already refused his offer. She thought that Steven had given up, but here he was again, looking for her service.

“Eudora, if you don’t want to accept this project, I’ll find a way to get rid of this.”

Eudora frowned and said, “Are you willing to pay the penalty? The contract has already been signed.”

Christopher nodded and turned to look at Tina. Tina then said hurriedly, “No worries!”

Eudora shook her head, “Forget it. It’s just another project, isn’t it? Whatever we do, it’s still just another project, so what are we afraid of? Besides, Valiant East has invested in this project, so it will be okay! I’ll accept it.”

Christopher was still worried, “Why don’t you discuss this with Amos first?”

Eudora nodded, “I will!”

While they were talking, Steven seemed to have arrived. One of the employees brought him into the office. He was wearing a smirk on his face.

“Eudora, is my sincerity enough?”

Eudora glanced at him and asked, “Did you purposely come to look for me?”

“Yes!” Steven was very frank, “I did. When I was in the US, I heard about your work. This is my first project. Of course, I hope that we will design an amusement park that is different from the existing ones. So, I am ready. I want it to be unique. I think you should take charge of this important task. Eudora, please don’t reject my project!”

Eudora was speechless, “Do I have the right to reject this?”
