Eudora trembled and realized that she might have been too blunt. She hurriedly added, âDidnât you say that you would definitely recover? President Granger, it seems that you couldnât go back to the way you used to be.â
Her words hurt a little. Jayden, who was standing behind Amos, frowned with anger.
This woman was being a little too outrageous, wasnât she?
However, Amos was smiling.
âWhat do you want from me?â
Jayden was taken aback. What was going on? He suddenly recalled his seniorâs advice.
âPresident Granger is very quiet and reserved, so donât be a chatterbox around him. Also, he doesnât like women getting too close to him and he doesnât like to deal with women. So, you should pay more attention to it. The most important thing is, he never shows any mercy to anybody who is rude to him.â
âTherefore, you need to solve all these problems for Mr. Granger.â
Jayden thought about it while looking at Amosâ warm smile.
He felt that the senior was probably joking with him. It was either that or the Mr. Granger standing in front of him was not the same person whom his senior was talking about.
Eudora had thought many times about how Amos would look like if they were to meet again in the future. She thought that Amos might be very angry and even try to kill her.
She believed that no woman in this world would have treated Amos like that, especially after he had saved her life so many times. She even led him to believe that she had cheated on him.
If he really hated her, she could accept it calmly. However, she never thought that Amos could still look at her with such a gentle smile.
There seemed to be a sea of sparkling stars in his eyes, causing a surge of emotions in her heart.
His voice was as charming and gentle as ever, like raindrops falling on the piano. âWhat do you want me to do?â
Eudoraâs heart instantly exploded, and it almost jumped out of her chest.
Taking a deep breath, Eudora tried to calm herself down.
âThatâs your own business. If you really want to know, itâs better to ask a female friend of yours who may have the chance of becoming Mrs. Granger. Their opinions are more important than mine.â
Amos raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Eudora couldnât help but reach out to touch her cheeks. âWhat are you looking at? Is there something dirty on my face?â
Amos shook his head. âIâm looking at Mrs. Granger.â
Eudora was at a loss for words.
Amosâ words had caused ripples in her heart once again. He seemed to have seen through her from the very beginning. At this moment, he was like a hunter, looking at his prey.
Leslieâs anxious voice could be heard from behind them. âMiss Eudora, are you okay?â He had heard from the staff in the casino that a luxury car almost got into a car accident a while ago.
He guessed that the person involved in the accident might have been Eudora based on the staffâs discussion. He would be in trouble if something were to happen to her.
Therefore, he immediately hurried over.
Eudora suddenly came to her senses and pushed Amos away.
âPresident Granger, you still have your children and your company to take care of in your city. Itâs not a good thing to your waste your time here in Greene City. I advise you to go back as soon as possible! Donât let your children wait for you.â
Amos replied obediently, as he would usually. âYes, I will! Everything at home is fine. Donât worry.â
Eudora was flustered.
Eudora then turned to Leslie and said to him, âLetâs go. Send me home.â
Leslie took a look at Amos. âThis gentlemanâ¦â
âItâs okay. He just happened to pass by.â
Amos smirked, seeing how Eudora had lied without even blinking. Jayden, on the other hand, had a disdainful look on his face. This woman really was awful.
Mr. Granger had hurried over to save her just now. It was already rude of her to not thank him, but to say that he had just passed by the area coincidentally?
However, he noticed the expression on Amosâ face when he turned his head. It was as though Amos was thinking that his woman was so cute, that she was so adorable even though she was lying.
Jayden was flabbergasted.
This world was mysterious. As a bodyguard who had to keep pace with the times, he felt that perhaps he should go back to class to learn a thing or two.
Amos was first to speak after seeing that Eudoraâs car had gone into the distance.
âDid Clint tell you about my schedule for this trip?â
Jayden immediately came back to his senses and replied, âAssistant Zuckerberg has made the necessary arrangements. Iâll send you there right now.â
â¦
On the way back, Leslie was still muttering to himself on the driverâs seat.
âMiss Eudora, that gentleman saved you just now, didnât he? Shouldnât we thank him at the very least?â
Eudora was confused.
âThatâs not necessary, is it?â How could he ask her to thank him? If Tyler were to find out about this, the consequences could be dire.
âThatâs not right, Miss Eudora!â Leslie immediately said righteously, âThe most important virtue in our industry is loyalty. Mr. Holt has always told us that we should repay favors with gratitude!â
Eudora looked at Leslie in shock, her mind filled with criticisms towards them.
Did they really think that they were considered righteous men in society?
However, in order to prevent Leslie from saying things that he shouldnât to Tyler, Eudora decided to give him a warning first.
âThat man is my ex-husband. My father hates him the most. If you donât want my father to be angry, I advise you not to say anything.â
Leslieâs mouth widened. Leslie had heard of her ex-husband before, but he did not follow Tyler to Rosaville City, so he had never met Amos before.
He became curious now that she had mentioned it.
âMiss Eudora, did he come here on purpose to cause you trouble? Iâll ask my subordinates to teach him a lesson!â
Eudora fell speechless.
âYouâre a manager. You shouldnât keep asking your subordinates to fight! You should be more gentle!â
Leslie scratched his head and said, âMiss Eudora, I donât think thatâs possible. Being gentle is not in my blood.â
âDonât mention this matter to my father then, else Iâll tell my father that I want all of you to change your style and become fellow gentlemen.â
Leslie was rendered speechless.
Miss Eudora seemed like a woman who was easy to get along with, but she was actually such a mean person. Mr. Tyler was never like that to him. She, on the other hand, was quite similar to her ex-husband just now.
They seemed to be a match made in heaven.
Leslie shook his head hurriedly. What was he thinking about? That man and Miss Eudora were no longer a family.
Leslie finally gave in and said, âMiss Eudora, donât worry. I wonât say anything!â
Leslie had always been a man of his word, so he did not say anything unnecessary when he got back. However, Tyler was very thrilled to hear the story of Eudora dealing with the customers in the casino.
âSince you are able to adapt well to our company, Iâll let you manage this casino then. You must do a good job!â
A thought flashed through Eudoraâs mind, âAre you really going to leave it to me? Are you not going to intervene for any changes I make?â
Tyler raised his eyebrows and said, âWhy not?â
Eudora nodded her head decisively. âGood. I have a good idea after checking the casino out just nowâ
She immediately looked at Leslie.
Leslie thought that Eudora was going to compliment him and the casino he was managing, so he immediately went over to receive the praise.
âThat casino branch has the best profit. Moreover, there are many returning customers in that casino, and it is considered quite good in Greene Cityâs market. Miss Eudora, what kind of changes would you like to make? We will try to accommodate the changes.â
Eudora nodded with satisfaction. âMr. Clarke, youâre right. I have the same thought like you too. Itâs such a good location. It would be perfect if we could set up a milkshake shop there!â
