Others may not know about it, but Eudora knew this best. TEM Company was one of Amosâ companies and they had nothing to do with Valiant East. It was his personal property.
Was he trying to stop her by using other means because she escaped?
Eudora frowned, and she heard Leslieâs anxious voice.
âHow unfortunate of us to have all these matters messed up together at the same time. Miss Eudora, donât worry. I will talk to them and convince them!â
Eudora laughed bitterly, âItâs okay, Iâll go!â
She was Amosâ target. The matter wouldnât end if she didnât show up there personally, wouldnât it?
Samuel muttered, âMissâ¦â
âIâm fine! I know that you guys are worried about me, but I know what to do,â After making up her mind, Eudora turned to look at the head of the project management department.
âArrange a meeting with TEM Company! Tell them that Iâm going to have a meal with their boss.â
The other party gave a suitable time quickly. At noon, Eudora went to the restaurant where the appointment would be held.
However, Eudora was dumbfounded the moment she stepped in. She had expected to see Amos, but that person was someone whom she never met.
But it was not that she had never seen him before. He seemed familiar upon taking a closer look. His looks resembled that of Clintâs.
The other person stood up and spoke.
âIâm David Zuckerberg!â
Eudora was about to reply, but the person added, âIâm Clintâs older brother! Iâm currently in charge of TEM Companyâs development.â
Ah!
Eudora nodded, âHello! Iâm Eudora. Apologies for being late!â
âIâve heard a lot about you!â David said with a smile, âAlso, you werenât late. I was just early.â
He had indeed heard a lot about her, so when he found out that Eudora had made an appointment with him, he came ahead of time.
Even though he hadnât seen her before, he had heard Clint talking about her countless times. It started off with him bringing up about her from time to time, but it ended with an unconcealable admiration for her. Even in such a situation, she was still mentioned in a respectful tone.
David knew that this woman would be a force to be reckoned with.
However, he was slightly disappointed. She was merely a little prettier than average. He wondered what Amos had seen in her.
He was different from Clint. The latter had gone through thick and thin with Amos since he was young. He only agreed to become TEM Companyâs head for Clintâs sake, so he didnât have the same level of respect for Amos as Clint did. He only treated Amos as a friend.
âYouâre flattering me!â Eudora said faintly before asking, âWhat do you feel like having? Please order whatever you like.â
David was surprised. He thought that she wouldnât beat around the bush since she wanted to meet him in such a hurry. Therefore, he didnât order anything. He didnât expect that she would still take the time to ask what he wanted to eat.
Perhaps he had misjudged her a little.
David smiled slightly before asking, âIâm not sure how the food here tastes like. Why donât you order them instead?â
Eudora nodded. As the host, she picked up the menu and ordered the dishes very carefully. After that, she asked him for his preferred dishes and gave the order to the waiter.
David thought that this woman was not that difficult to get along with.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, âMiss George, if you wanted to solve the problem from the root of the issue, why didnât you ask for that certain someone instead? It would be much quicker instead of coming to me.â
Eudora froze slightly. She knew who he was talking about. He was obviously talking about Amos, the owner of TEM Company.
Eudora smirked and said with a low voice.
âMr. Zuckerberg, didnât you say that you are in charge of everything in TEM Company? Arenât we supposed to do things from the fundamentals? Since TEM Company thinks that we are the problem, then we should be the one to solve it! Why should we contact those irrelevant people?â
David choked for a moment and mourned for Amos silently.
He remembered when Amos got angry for her sake and defeated the two tycoons in Greene City. It was not considered a small feat. Amos hadnât been in the game for a few years, so he basically poured all his money into it, but it still wasnât enough.
David felt distressed just by looking at Amos, but he didnât expect that this was the result that Amos had exchanged his life and wealth for.
Irrelevant people?
He wondered how Amos would feel if he heard those words?
Eudora didnât mention anything work-related anymore once the food was served. It wasnât until they were done eating that she finally put down her cutlery.
âMr. Zuckerberg, how was the food? Would you like to order anything else?â
âItâs okay!â David chuckled, âPlease excuse me. Iâd like to go to the washroom.â
Eudora nodded and asked the waiter to remove all the empty plates from the table and prepare a set of tea.
â¦
David stood outside the washroom and glanced in Eudoraâs direction before making a call.
âPresident Granger! Did you quarrel with your wife?â
Amos was silent for a moment, âDo you not have anything else to do?â
David snorted, âThatâs right, Iâm pretty free now. I have taken over TEM Company initially so that I could train to learn some new skills. However, things have turned bad after a few years. The company had developed too fast. Iâm not like you, who has got a family business to fall back to. So, I have nothing to do every day apart from improving the business. Itâs quite annoying actually.â
Amos was speechless.
âWhy donât you just announce this to the world? Weâll see if someone would give you a beating for being so annoying.â
David fell quiet.
âFine, fine. Iâve received some news. Remember when I said that I thought of trying out a new project? Do you know who Iâm working with right now?â
Davidâs personality was completely different from Clintâs. Clint was loyal and calm. David, on the other hand, was more open-minded and casual with his words. Those who didnât know him might think that he was putting on airs!
However, Amos knew him very well. It seemed that there was indeed something on his mind this time around.
Amos spoke without hesitation.
âAre you working with the Holt Family?â
Davidâs grin widened in an instant.
âYouâre really my good partner. You know me so well. Youâre right!â
Amos frowned, âDonât make things difficult for her!â
David immediately rolled his eyes, âYouâve guessed correctly again. How boring. But Iâm not trying to making things difficult for her this time! Her company is indeed not professional enough. If thereâs any problem, then Iâll meet with their boss to solve it. There shouldnât be any problems, right?â
âWhere are you guys?â Amos asked anxiously.
âWeâre in the Greene City hotel. Are you planning to come overâ¦â
The call was already hung up before David could finish his sentence. David looked at his phone that was beeping and grinned from ear to ear.
It seemed that a show was about to start!
â¦
David returned from the washroom just as the waiter served the tea.
The contract for that project was already prepared on the table. It seemed that Eudora was determined to get straight to the point!
âI have a preliminary understanding of the problem of the project. You are most dissatisfied with this position, arenât you? I could see the issue. It wouldnât be a problem to change it if thatâs the case.â
David shook his head, âLetâs not rush it. Weâll talk about it later.â
