Eudora had already started walking towards the police. She stood in front of them and asked, âHello there, may I know if thereâs a problem with what we are doing?â
When they saw Eudora, they smiled and said, âHm? Couldnât we cops have a cup of milkshake after getting off work?â
Everyone who was following behind Eudora was stunned.
What was happening? Werenât the police here to cause trouble? Why were they claiming to be here to have milkshakes?
Even Eudora was somewhat dumbfounded. âYou guysâ¦â
The cops smiled, and they pointed to a direction behind her. Someone in the crowd had walked out with a bunch of flowers. The bouquet was so huge that it blocked the personâs face.
Before Eudora could get a clear view, the man already handed the flowers to Eudora.
âEudora! Congratulations on the opening of your business!â
Only then did Eudora see the face of that man clearly. Harley?
Seeing that she did not reply, Harley smiled, âEudora, how could you do this? How could you come to Greene City to open a shop all by yourself? You didnât even let us know. Had Amos not informed me and told me to come, I wouldnât know for how long are you going to hide this from us!â
Amos?
Eudoraâs brows furrowed, and she calmed down gradually.
Apart from Amos, who else could have called Harley over? He even called his colleagues to come over.
Thea, who had been standing behind Harley, peeked out and looked at Eudora.
âEudora! Are you not happy that weâre here?â
After that, Tina and Christopher appeared beside her. Finally, she saw Amos standing amongst the crowd silently.
His gaze was deep, and Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She looked away hurriedly.
âOf course not! Come on in, all of you.â
Harley was the first to walk into the shop. Even though he was not wearing his police uniform, he was the first to speak. Everyone could tell that his status must be special.
Several of the female staff subconsciously took a step back when they saw him entering the shop.
Harley noticed that all of them looked as though they had seen a ghost, and he could not help but frown.
âAre you kidding me? Iâm so handsome and charming. Do I look like a ghost to you?â
Thea coughed subtly behind him. Harley flinched as he said, âRegardless, it would be better for you to see me as though youâve seen a ghost, for I belong to my wife alone. All of you, donât even think about pursuing me. Am I right, honey?â
Everyone was speechless.
Thea rolled her eyes at him as she walked over to take Eudoraâs hands.
âEudora, why did you leave Rosaville City without telling us?â
Theaâs pregnancy was two months apart from Eudoraâs, and she was about to give birth soon. She had come to visit her with her big belly, making Eudora feel somewhat guilty.
âIâm sorry! Everything just happened so suddenly. I was going to contact you guys after Iâd settled down!â
Tina walked over with a smile. âIt looks like Iâll have to address you as my older sister now. With you around, our father wouldnât come after me again, would he?â
Tina was Tylerâs adopted daughter. In the past, Tyler had focused all of his attention on her. Now that his biological daughter had returned, it seemed that he would no longer make things difficult for Tina.
Eudora nodded, âThatâs right. You and Christopher will be able to live a peaceful life from now on.â
Christopher cast a glance at Amos, who was standing behind them with a grim expression, âYou twoâ¦â
Eudora changed the topic hurriedly. âEveryone, come on in!â
Harley too had realized that something was off, so he quickly changed the subject. âRight, my mates still have some work to attend to later. I was the one who forced them to come over for some milkshake. Hurry up and serve them some.â
Eudora nodded to her staff, and the female waiters got to work immediately.
As they walked away, they couldnât help but sigh.
âDoes Miss Eudora actually knows the cops? That means we wonât get caught, right?â
âWhat are you thinking? Miss Eudora is a good person. Why else would she change the casino from before into a milkshake shop all of a sudden? From now on, we have to start doing the right things.â
âBut⦠I am still urgently in need of money!â
Why else would girls come to such a place to work? They were all short on money!
âI suggest you go look for another job then. This wonât doâ¦â
Raymond stood in the shadows, his expression dark as he remained silent.
â¦
The milkshakes were served shortly after. As Harleyâs friends still had other work to attend to, they soon took their leave. Harley and the others were the only ones left outside.
Just as Harley was about to get to know the situation a little better, he realized that Amos had been standing in the same spot. He hadnât said a word ever since they arrived.
Fabian stood across him, holding the same stance as Amos. The two of them looked at each other.
âItâs you!â Fabian said coldly.
Amosâ smirked. âOf course. Who else would it be?â
Fabian sneered. âDid you think that youâve won just because of this? Rest assured, I wonât let you have another chance. There is nothing that I canât get in this world!â
âLetâs just wait and see then!â Amos replied with a smile.
Harley looked at Amos, dumbfounded. âWhatâs going on? Amos, I think that I have just realized something extraordinary.â
Amos rolled his eyes. âNo one will think that youâre a mute if you donât speak.â
Harley glanced at the two men and laughed.
âItâs not that hard to decide whoâs the winner here. Shall we make a challenge then? Whoever gets the most customers shall emerge victoriously. What do you say?â
Fabian frowned. âWhat a joke!â
Amos remained silent.
Harleyâs face was full of curiosity. âWhatâs wrong? I thought that strong men like the two of you could accomplish anything! Now itâs just a competition to see who could get the most customers, yet the both of you are hesitating. If I were Eudora, I wouldnât even fall for any of you.â
Fabian and Amos quickly glanced at each other. Both of them saw unwillingness in each otherâs eyes.
The next second, the two of them shouted at Harley, who was about to turn around and leave, at the same time, âWait a minute!â
Harley immediately stopped smiling. He turned to look at them. âYes?â
âLetâs do it!â
Fabian immediately turned around and told his assistant, âGo and get more people over.â
Amos had also picked up his phone, about to make a call.
Harley quickly stopped them. âYou are not allowed to call for help. Iâve said that this is a competition to see who fares better. Whatâs the use of calling for help? You canât do that.â
Fabian frowned, and Amosâ face fell too.
âHarley, are you itching for a beating?â
Harley flinched instinctively, but when he thought about the possibility of seeing Amos making a fool of himself, he could not help himself but go along with the plan.
âSee? Both of you like Eudora, and you two could see just how much effort she is putting into the business. If you donât work hard, how will you be worthy of her?â
The two men looked towards the direction that Harley was pointing at.
Eudora had worn a pretty suit and worked hard for her shopâs grand opening. At this moment, she was busy working with her staff.
She looked very beautiful when she was focused and driven.
Harley looked at the two men, who were completely charmed by the woman. He quickly pulled them back to their senses.
âHave you looked enough? If you have, then itâs time to work!â
