Hearing Amosâ voice, Eudora instinctively wanted to cover the scar on her face, but it was too late.
He grabbed her arm and examined her forehead with burning eyes for a long time.
âThe wound is quite deep. Iâll bring you to get a tetanus shot!â
Eudora hurriedly shook her head, âItâs not that serious. I just accidentally knocked it on the ground.â
âWas it the client from this morning?â Amosâs face darkened.
Eudora was worried that he would go to do something rash, so she hurriedly explained, âNo, I accidentally hit the door frame while walking in! Iâm fine, really. Donât worry about it!â
Amos didnât ask any more questions. He turned around and went to get the first aid kit.
Eudora was shocked, âI didnât even know we had a first aid kit here. How did you know?â
âThis is your office, are you asking me?â
Eudora was tongue-tied.
âIf I didnât ask you, who else could I ask?â Eudora wondered if this office truly belonged to her.
As she thought about it, a sense of coldness could be felt on her forehead. Amos disinfected the wound, but it was a little painful.
Instinctively, she winced. Amosâs fingers stilled mid-air, and he asked, âDoes it hurt?â
âNo, it doesnât hurt!â Eudora shook her head. Recently, she had already greatly worried Amos. She didnât want him to always be concerned about her.
âIs she trying to act tough in front of me again?â Amos thought to himself.
Amos exerted a bit of strength in his fingers, and Eudora immediately hissed, âBe gentle.â
âDidnât you say it didnât hurt?â
Eudora was at a loss for words.
She knew that Amos would only yield to soft, gentle actions. He would not be happy if she acted tough in front of him.
In the end, she tugged at the corner of his shirt and pleaded with him cutely, âIt hurts so much.â
Amosâs hand loosened slightly and said unhappily, âAre you still daring to act tough in front of me next time?â But his hand movements had loosened, contradicting with his words.
After he wiped the wound and applied the ointment, he put a plaster on her wound.
âItâs done. Letâs go out for dinner together.â
Eudora touched the plaster awkwardly, âBut itâs so ugly!â
She was the general manager of a company. It would be a joke to her employees if she walked out with the plaster on her forehead.
âApplying medicine is enough. We donât actually need this plaster, right?â
âNo!â Amosâs face was grim, âThereâs a lot of dust outside. We need to be careful in case the wound gets infected!â
âThen, Iâm not going to eat!â
Eudora deliberately acted shamelessly, âIâm so ugly now, how could I go out to eat? People will laugh at me!â
Amos snorted, âIâm with you. Who dares to laugh at you?â
âItâs because youâre with me, thatâs why they will laugh at me. Youâre so handsome, but Iâve become so ugly!â
The more Eudora spoke, the more she deliberately pestered him. In fact, she also knew that she was being unreasonable. However, she wanted to vent her frustrations thus she persisted that way.
In particular, there was such a person around her who was willing to listen to her unreasonable pestering. Eudora knew very well that she was much blessed than most people.
She felt better after pestering him that way and was about to give in to him. However, she saw Amos take out a plaster from the box and pass it to her.
âThen, Iâll match with you!â
As he spoke, he unwrapped the plaster and handed it to Eudora, âWhy donât you help me putting it on?â
Eudora was stunned.
âReally? You donât actually need toâ¦â
âJust stick it on!â Amos said.
Eudora also grew a little curious. What would everyone think of President Granger, who was uptight on a daily basis, being dressed like this?
Thinking about it, she stuck it on Amosâs head and observed him carefully.
However, Amos still looked the same. Even if there was a plaster attached to him, he still looked goodâ¦
Eudora was slightly depressed. While she was being carried away by her thoughts, Amos took her hand and said, âLetâs go, Iâll take you to eat some plain food.â
A bland diet was most suitable for people with wounds.
They went all the way downstairs. As expected, Eudora heard a series of gasps. At first, she thought that everyone would be disillusioned by Amosâ image.
After listening to the people around them carefully, it turned out to be something elseâ¦
âWow, President Grangerâs so handsome! Even though he has a plaster stuck on his head, heâs still so handsome!â
âItâs a type of sickly beauty, how attractive!â
âKeep your voice down. Madam is still by Mr. Grangerâs side!â
Eudora was dumbstruck.
Surprisingly, it seemed that everyoneâs aesthetic standards were the same. She also thought that Amos was handsome.
Just as she thought about it, Clint walked in from outside. When he saw the plaster on Amosâs head, he hurriedly walked up to them and asked anxiously, âSir, are you hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable? Shall I take you and Madam to the hospital immediately?â
âNo, thereâs no need for it!â Eudora hurriedly waved her hand, âWe are fine!â
âButâ¦â Clint looked at the plaster on Amosâs forehead, âThere will be an international video conference in the afternoonâ¦â
If it was displayed in the video conference, it would still affect the companyâs reputation!
âHeâs fine, heâs not injured,â explained Eudora.
Clint didnât understand her, âThen what about the plasterâ¦â
Eudora reached out and tore the plaster off Amosâs forehead as a proof, âLook, heâs okay!â
Clint was puzzled.
âThen, what are both of youâ¦â
Amos finally opened his mouth and said, âI did it to match Eudora. If you have nothing else to do, go back to work.â
Clint was flabbergasted.
âDo they still want me to live? Why are they able to show affection in public simply through a plaster?â Clint thought to himself.
âIâm also in a relationship too. But why do I still feel lonely and bitter?â
â¦
After lunch, Amos returned to his office and called Clint, âConduct an investigation on the company that had a deal with Tyly Company before and find out what happened.â
Clint replied in an affirmative. He was numb to the fact that Amos would intervene in Eudoraâs affairs.
Only if Amos did not intervene one day, then would he feel that it was strange!
Soon, the results came back, âIt was said that the other party wasnât satisfied with Madamâs design. They claimed that her design was a detriment to their company, so the deal might not have gone through. They are now looking for a designer again! However, ordinary designers would not be much of a help to them as their request was problematic!â
Amos grunted and said, âDidnât rumor say that the government has been preparing to build a green city? Such a big project, donât you want to investigate it?â
Clint was shocked, âDo you mean that you want me to find a way to investigate them?â
âIs there a problem?â Amos said indifferently.
âOf course, there was a problem. If it was in the past, wouldnât he have purchased them directly or given them a big lesson? Why was he taking a mild approach this time?â Clint thought.
âI just think that youâve become more humane, sir!â Clint said.
âHaâ¦â Amos chuckled, âEudora likes that project. If possible, itâd be better for Tyly Company to practice their skills with it! Letâs discuss later if they decide not to cooperate.â
Clint was dumbfounded.
As expected, he thought too naively. Amos was still the wife-spoiling maniac. He had never changed.
He probably would not be changing anytime in the future as well!
