After Eudora went inside, she saw that the people from the clientâs side and her own company had arrived.
Those on Eudoraâs side were the construction workers and the foreman that she had carefully selected. Now that there was such a problem, she felt very sorry towards them.
Therefore, she started apologizing as soon as she entered.
âSorry, Iâm late. I already have a preliminary understanding of the problem. Why donât we take a look at the scene first and find out whatâs wrong with it?â
Although the person- in-charge from the other party was very unhappy, he suppressed his dissatisfaction because Eudora was Amosâs wife.
âLetâs see it!â
The construction foreman immediately brought Eudora and clientâs person-in-charge to the scene and compared the scene to the blueprint.
âWe did it all by following the design on the blueprint, and we have made the entire foundation. However, the person who was here to examine said that it isnât rightâ¦â
Eudora looked at the foundation carefully and asked, âAre you sure that youâve made it according to my design?â
âOf course, Iâm sure!â
After saying that, he went to look for the blueprint.
âIf you donât believe me, Iâll show it to you.â
However, he could not find it no matter how hard he looked. The foreman was so worried that his forehead was covered with sweat, âWhatâs going on? I thought Iâve put it here. Where is it?â
The clientâs person-in-charge started to vent his anger as if he had finally found a scapegoat.
âIt looks like youâre the one who had made a mistake! Making the foundation till this state not only costs plenty of materials but the time taken to redo it will also take a lot. You have to give me an explanation for this.â
He didnât dare to vent his anger towards Amosâ woman, but he could do that to the people who were working under her.
âIâve really been wronged!â The foremanâs eyes turned red with anxiety, âIâm just a construction contractor. It wonât do me any good if I do this! I canât afford the cost of the materials spent in constructing the foundation for such a large building. I really didnât do it.â
However, the client just wanted to find a scapegoat. Now that he had the foreman in his hands, naturally he wouldnât let him go.
âYouâre the foreman. The blueprint was given to you, and youâve made a mistake. If you donât take the responsibility, who else can?â
The other construction workers got anxious when they heard his words, âThatâs not right, isnât it? We really did it according to the design!â
Both sides were arguing with each other, and it seemed that they were going to start brawling.
Eudora raised her voice to stop them, âStop arguing! I think we need to investigate further to find out whatâs really going on.â
Turning around, she looked at the person-in-charge from the other party and said, âGive me a day. Iâll get back to you after I figure the whole thing out.â
He wanted to refuse, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar car parked outside.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a tall man coming out of the car. The man was leaning against the car door and watching them leisurely.
Amos Granger?
The man panicked, and he immediately nodded.
âAlright, Iâll give you one day.â
After an agreement was made, Eudora said to the foreman, âYou, come back to the company with me. Letâs take our time to figure this out!â
The foreman nodded and walked out with Eudora. As soon as he got outside, he saw Amos waiting there. He was petrified and did not know what to do.
Eudora pointed at the seat in front of them and said, âSit in the front!â
âOkay!â The foreman opened the door and sat down.
However, he could not help looking at the back seat from the rear-view mirror.
As the head of Rosaville Cityâs real estate industry, Amos had been in charge of Valiant East. As long as they were in this field of business, everyone knew who Amos was.
It was the first time that he had seen Amos in such a close distance. He looked as cool as he was on the television.
It was also said on television that Amos was handsome and aloof.
The foreman nodded slightly in agreement, but he couldnât help thinking in his heart, âIn fact, being with such a good-looking man also has a downside!â
At the very least, it must be hard to get along with a distant and reserved man.
Miss George was such a nice person. It must have been tough for her to be with him.
As he was thinking, the backseat door opened. Amos covered the frame of the car with his hand and said, âBe careful not to hit your head.â
Eudora turned around, smiled at him, and got in the car.
âPerhaps all the men in the upper class are more gentlemanly?â the foreman thought.
No matter what, in his heart, Amos had to be an unapproachable man.
The next second, the aloof man took out another wet towel and handed it to Eudora.
âDonât move. Your face is covered with dust.â
Hearing that, the foremanâs jaw almost dropped out of shock.
Sure enough, he couldnât judge a book by its cover! President Granger was impassive in his mind, and the foreman did not expect him to treat his wife so well.
He thought about it for a while and heaved a sigh of relief.
Rumor had it that Amos used rough methods against everyone who made a mistake. Originally, he was worried that Amos would teach Eudora some of those methods, but now, it seemed like he might not have done so!
After arriving at the company, Eudora bid goodbye to Amos.
âI have to go up first, to deal with some things.â
Unexpectedly, Amos glanced at the foreman and said to Eudora, âItâs alright. Iâm not busy today. Iâll wait for you upstairs.â
â¦
A moment later, in Eudoraâs office.
The foreman was sitting on the chair opposite Eudora and Amos.
âThe blueprint you were talking about, who gave it to you?â Eudora asked.
The foreman immediately replied, âYour secretary did!â
The design had been drawn by Eudora and handed over to the secretary to allow her full authority in handling it!
Eudora frowned. Based on her understanding of her secretary, the secretary would definitely not have made such a low-level mistake.
Was there any problem in this process?
As he was thinking, Amos, who was next to him, suddenly spoke.
âYou said she gave it to you. Tell us the time, location and day she did so.â
Amos bombarded the foreman with questions, which caused him to be stupefied for a moment before he replied.
âJust two days ago, at the construction site. I donât remember the time.â
âTwo days ago? Is it Saturday?â Amos asked, âYou work on Saturdays?â
The foreman quickly corrected himself and said, âNot two days ago, maybe three days ago? It was either on Friday or Thursday!â
Amosâs lips curled up slightly, and he asked, âYouâre 40 this year, right?â
âIâm 45.â
The foreman replied, but he felt a little annoyed after that. What was going on? Why did he answer subconsciously when Amos asked him anything?
He did not have to answer the question, did he?
As he was thinking, Amos had already come to a conclusion.
âCall the police!â
The foreman was mystified and asked, âWhat? Why are you calling the police? Itâs not me. Iâve told you that itâs not me.â
He turned to look at Eudora and pleaded, âMiss George, itâs really not my fault! Iâve been wronged!â
Eudora had already come back to her senses. It was just so that she trusted people too easily. Previously, at the construction site, her heart had already been softened by the foremanâs firm claim.
Truth be told, the other party had set up a trap. They knew that normally, when people encountered situations like that, their hearts would soften.
Meanwhile, just then, the questions that Amos asked were not actually that big of a deal, but the foremanâs answers had been a complete mess.
Two days ago, it had not been the weekend, but a Monday.
He did not even realize his mistake, which was enough to prove that he had to be hiding something.
She took a serious look at the foreman and questioned, âAre you sure you donât want to tell me the truth?â
