Eudora took a deep breath. She could only blame her side for not paying enough attention to the implementation.
In the business world, the party at fault must accommodate their clients, no matter who they were.
She needed to comply with the other partyâs demands no matter what.
Eudora suppressed the anxiety in her and nodded with a smile.
âIâm sorry, I got hasty. Mr. Zuckerberg, why donât you taste the tea here? Itâs pretty good.â
David drank the tea. Indeed, it tasted good.
Nonetheless, he had also heard from Clint that Eudora had good culinary skills.
Moreover, Clint had always described it with excitement in his eyes. It was as though he had tasted the heavens.
David was rather curious, âMiss George, I wonder if you know how to make desserts?â
Eudora was taken aback. That question was a little inappropriate, however, she answered it sincerely for the sake of the project.
âI know a little about it, but I donât know how to make most of the desserts served here!â
David nodded. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a familiar car parking speedily outside the entrance. Then, a tall figure could be seen pushing the door open and rushing in.
Coincidentally, there was a big decorative mirror from Davidâs perspective, and it was not far behind Eudora. He could see the entrance of the restaurant at a glance.
He saw Amos rushing in, and their eyes met. However, Amos immediately stopped and sat at the table two tables away from them.
Davidâs itchiness for gossip intensified. It seemed that both of them were in a quarrel.
He thought that it would be fun to tease them since he was bored. David then continued the conversation.
âThe beauty of desserts isnât about their designs, but the thoughtfulness and meticulousness into making them. Miss George, since you like to bake desserts, and since we have some time right now, why donât you bake some desserts for me?â
Eudoraâs brows knitted even tighter.
Even though he was speaking rather informally, he still was not out of line. However, why did he ask her to bake desserts for him? After all, she was only her partner in work.
What was Holt Family to him?
Eudora refused politely after taking a deep breath.
âMaybe another day!â
Anyone would know that this was a form of subtle rejection. However, David looked visibly displeased and he exclaimed, âLetâs not do it on another day. Isnât the Greene Hotel part of the Holt Family? Why donât we do it today, Miss George? After all, I have plenty of time. I could wait!â
Eudora was speechless.
David glanced at Amos secretly through the mirror. Although he didnât move, David could tell that he was clenching his fists.
A sense of satisfaction arose inexplicably in Davidâs heart. Even though he had worked with Amos for almost ten years, he had never seen him so infuriated before.
Oh, that wasnât right. It was said that he had lost his temper once because Eudora had gone to TEM Company five years ago. He ended up scaring half of the employees in the office.
The person-in-charge of that branch was admitted to the hospital for three days because of that.
Unfortunately, he was not there at that moment. He had never gotten to witness such a beautiful scene, so he didnât want to miss it this time.
David raised his voice and said.
âMiss George, it seems that youâre not willing to do it, yes? But itâs clear that this case is indeed your partyâs fault! Since you are not willing to do such a small thing, then thereâs no need for us to negotiate about the contract anymore!â
Eudora was already cursing the Zuckerbergs in her heart repeatedly, but she didnât include Clint since the latter was a great person.
Taking a deep breath, Eudora smiled and said, âOkay, please give me a moment.â
There would be times where one would not have a choice but to be humble! At this moment, Eudora had no choice but to swallow her anger!
David glanced at the mirror simultaneously, silently doing a countdown in his heart.
Five, four, three, two, oneâ¦
All of a sudden, Amos grabbed Eudora, âYouâre not allowed to go!â
Eudora was stunned and she turned back to look at Amos.
Amos had already pulled Eudora behind him and glared at David fiercely, âDo you want desserts? Iâll make them for you!â
David looked at Amos excitedly. It was rare for Amos to show any kind of expression on his face, especially when he was angry. At this moment, he was still poker-faced.
However, his eyes were full of turbulent emotions. If a personâs gaze could kill others, David felt that he might have died there and then for a few hundreds of times.
Eudora freed her arm from Amosâ grip after realizing what was going on.
âHave you two had enough? If youâre done, could we talk about our project now?â
David was stunned. Eudora must have thought that he and Amos were playing with her.
All of a sudden, he felt a little sorry. David glared at Amos and said, âWerenât you going to make desserts for me? Go then!â
Amos stared at David coldly and chuckled after a long while.
Davidâs scalp began to feel numb and chilly.
He felt like his life was at an all-time high at that moment.
Finally, he got to witness the fury in Amosâ face! Oh, how he wished he could take a photo at that moment! After all, he wasnât sure if he would still be alive to witness it the next time!
Amos had already turned around and asked the waiter, âWhere is the kitchen?â
When Amos walked away, Eudora looked at David suspiciously, âWhat on earth are you guys playing at?â
David explained on behalf of Amos, âCanât you see it yet? Does it not look real to you after witnessing with your own eyes?â
Eudora frowned, and David added.
âArenât you going?â
Eudora trailed off angrily and followed Amos into the kitchen.
â¦
When Eudora entered the kitchen, Amos had already instructed the staff to take out the ingredients to make desserts. The kitchen would usually prepare a lot of ingredients for making desserts every day.
Amos was busy picking the ingredients.
Eudora took a deep breath and walked over calmly, âDonât bother, President Granger. Iâll do it myself.â
Amos didnât say a word, but he didnât move out of the way either.
His broad shoulders took up the best spot at the ingredients section. He showed no intention to let Eudora do it.
Eudora chuckled, âPresident Granger, could it be that you are planning to bake desserts for your subordinate? I donât care whether you guys were acting in front of me, but now, itâs time to end it!â
Amosâ finger paused for a second, and he asked, âAn act?â
There was astonishment in his voice, followed by a tinge of grief. Eudora felt a stinging pain in her heart for some reason. She took a deep breath and dismissed the uneasiness in her heart.
Amos pushed her away with his big hand.
âI said that I would do it. No one else is allowed to do it!â
Eudora was speechless. Why was he still so bossy when he was acting up?
âIâll help you get whatever you need. I donât want to fall into another trap of yours after working so hard at it.â
A trap of his? Amos pursed his lips and concealed the pain in his eyes. Then, he instructed.
âSure, then help me get a pound of garlic!â
Eudora was shocked. Garlic? For dessert?
