David was excited and he couldnât suppress his joy. After Amos left, he sent his current location to his group chat.
âAmos is baking desserts for me personally. What a beautiful life Iâm living!â
Clint replied in less than a second.
âDavid? What are you talking about? Is he going to bake for Miss George?â
âHow could that be? Of course, heâs doing it for me! After all, I have worked with him for many years. TEM Company wouldnât have gotten to where it is today if it werenât for my hard work. A meal from him isnât too much to ask for, right?â
Clint was puzzled.
âDavid, is it arduous to work at TEM Company? But I always see that youâre free!â
David snapped, âShut up!â
Clint immediately replied with a smirking emoji.
Harley replied with a series of laughing emojis.
David felt dissatisfied, âHarley, what are you laughing at?â
Harley was a prick because he would only be respectful to him whenever they were in front of Amos. Nevertheless, he still cared for Clint and treated him as a friend.
He only knew how to make fun of David.
âIf Amos is personally baking it, Iâm afraid that you wonât be able to enjoy it!â
David snorted, âWhy donât you come and see it for yourself?â
âFine, Iâll come over since Iâm nearby. Iâll be there in ten minutes!â
Clint followed up with another emoji and replied, âIâm around the corner tooâ¦â
David began to feel slightly worried after putting his phone away. He might have exaggerated for a bit, and now Harley and Clint were coming over.
He didnât care about Harley. However, his younger brother, Clint, who had always admired him, was on his way there.
What should he do if he were to lose his prestige in front of his younger brother? After all, he wasnât as important as Amos in Clintâs eyes in the first place!
David became even more worried and thought of getting up to see if Amos really was baking desserts for him.
At this moment, he saw Amos and Eudora coming out from the kitchen. Behind them were a few waiters holding a few plates of desserts.
The worry in Davidâs heart disappeared.
It seemed that everything would be fine!
The desserts were then served on the table. Amos stood in front of David and said, âThese are the desserts that you had asked for.â
David smiled and said, âI knew that you would be kind to Miss George. So, it really was like that!â
Amos didnât reply. Eudora, on the other hand, didnât know what was going on. However, she recalled the conversation they had earlier and spoke again.
âSince the desserts have been baked, letâs talk about work!â
âLetâs not rush!â Amos and David exclaimed at the same time.
âSince the desserts have been made, itâs only right for us to talk about work after we have the desserts!â Amos said flatly.
Eudora fell quiet. She was a little lost for words thinking about the ingredients that he had added into the desserts. She frowned.
David too shared the same sentiments, but he had to pretend to be arrogant in front of Harley and Clint. Meanwhile, Harley and Clint had just entered the restaurant.
Both of them strode over the moment they saw them.
David chuckled, âYou heard it right? The desserts on this table were all made by Amos!â
Clint glanced at David naively. He had always admired his older brother and felt that only he was worthy to stand by Amosâ side and cooperate well together.
Harley glanced at Eudora. He was confident that Amos had chosen to make desserts for David because of her.
However, it was better for him not to say anything during that moment.
David picked up one of the desserts and took a bite proudly in front of everyone.
The next second, Davidâs smile froze.
What on earth! What in the world was that? It tasted like garlic, and it had a mix of chili, pepper, and wasabi too.
What the hell did he make?
Davidâs nose choked, and the rims of his eyes turned red.
However, Clint was looking at him in admiration, while Harley was staring at him like a tiger watching its prey! Davidâs neck stiffened as he forcefully swallowed the cake.
Amos smiled at him, âIs it delicious?â
David was speechless. He had just witnessed how ruthless his boss could be.
Clint suddenly asked, âDavid, why are you crying?â
David had eaten a lot of wasabi. How could he not cry? However, he still forced himself to smile and said, âIâm so touched! Amos treats me very well. Clint, you have to work hard under Amosâ leadership in the future, okay?â
Clint nodded, âI will!â
Clint picked up another piece of cake, âDavid, could I have one, too?â
âNo!â David snatched it back hurriedly.
Harley looked at him suspiciously. David explained hastily, âThey are all mine. No one is allowed to have them!â
Clint nodded, âAh, David, you should have more then.â
David was speechless. What was his younger brother doing!
Harley glanced at Eudora as David continued to swallow the desserts with much difficulty. However, Amos was quick to block his movements.
Harley sighed as he realized that Amos was destined to lose to Eudora.
It seemed that there was nothing he could do.
âPlease enjoy your meal. I still have some work to attend to. Iâll take my leave first!â
David was about to throw up. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Eudora for help. Others might not know the ingredients that were used, but only Eudora knew!
She was still thinking of the project, so she asked, âYouâre almost done with the desserts, arenât you? Shall we talk about the project now?â
David, who had been thinking about making trouble just then, immediately nodded his head aggressively!
âYouâre right, Miss George. I think that we should talk about the project now!â
Amos took a step back and nodded quietly. David was about to be moved to tears. He finally understood why Clint would always have a face filled with admiration and respect whenever he talked about Eudora.
It appeared that this was the reason why!
David ordered the waiters to clean up the plates and said instantly, âThis project isnât a big issue. However, if your side is willing to come out with a backup planâ¦â
Amos, who was holding the contract, suddenly bellowed, âNo!â
David was stupefied.
He didnât understand what was happening. Wasnât Amos the one who wanted things to go smoothly? However, it seemed that he was also the one who didnât want things to go smoothly at this moment. He even made him eat so much wasabi and garlic. What the heck did he want from him?!
Eudora pursed her lips and glanced at Amos. Her gaze gradually turned icy.
âMr. Granger, whatâs wrong?â
Amos closed his eyes and said, âEverything is wrong! I need to go back to review this project again. Weâll talk about it later if there are any problems!â
After that, he immediately took the contract and left. David sat there with a confused look on his face. After a while, he got up and followed after him.
â¦
David finally caught up and asked doubtfully.
âAmos, whatâs wrong with you? Are you two trying to make things difficult for me?â
Amos ignored him and stuffed the contract into his hands. âDidnât you notice the big loophole when you took this project? You are just waiting for someone to dig a hole for you to jump in, you know that?â
David was stunned and he hurried to read it carefully.
