Eudora fell asleep later than usual the night before. When she woke up in the morning, she realized that she was running late. She quickly hopped into the car.
Sawyer glanced at her from the rearview mirror and heard that she was on the phone, âIâll be here in ten minutes. I canât be late for the meeting!â
Today was the annual general meeting with the shareholders, so it was important!
However, it would take more than half a day for the meeting to finish.
She hadnât had her breakfast yetâ¦
Sawyer frowned. Eudora put down the phone.
âLetâs go!â
Sawyer did not speak any more. He started the car and drove forward.
A moment later, the car arrived at a breakfast store. Eudora thought they had arrived at the company. When she looked up and saw that they were somewhere else, she felt puzzled.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âI want to buy breakfast.â
Eudora was speechless.
Although it was normal for an employee to get breakfast, they were late today. How could he still think of getting breakfast?
âCanât you get it later?â
Sawyer had already gotten out of the car!
âTwo minutes!â
Eudora looked at his back speechlessly. She didnât know that he could be so stubborn.
After a while, he came back with two sets of breakfast.
âThe food here is quite delicious. This one is for you.â
âI donât want to eat! Letâs go!â
Sawyer slowly opened the food container, and the fragrance from the food burst out instantly. Eudora was puzzled. How could Sawyer produce delicious food every time?
No! Why was she thinking about that? She was in a hurry to attend the meeting. Why was she thinking about such a trivial matter?
âWeâre not going to make it in time!â Eudora added.
Sawyer nodded, âIf we followed the navigation device, then we definitely wonât arrive on time. However, I know a shortcut ahead. If we take that route, weâll get there in time. You can even finish your breakfast!â
Eudora frowned, âA shortcut? Why havenât I heard about it?â
Sawyer no longer spoke!
A thought flashed through Eudoraâs mind, and she immediately said, âWhy donât we make a bet?â
Due to that matter concerning Amos, she felt animosity towards Sawyer. Moreover, as her personal driver, his personality was not quite suitable for the job.
Although he was qualified in all other areas, the fact that he did not listen to instructions alone made him unqualified!
Sawyer wanted to open his mouth.
However, Eudora spoke first, âLetâs make a bet. If you donât arrive there on time, then youâll have to resign from this job yourself. You donât even need to wait for me to initiate your resignation! After all, today is an important day.â
âDeal!â Sawyer nodded. âThen, you should enjoy your breakfast first!â
Eudora grabbed her breakfast and finished it as normally as usual.
Initially, she could have dawdled a little longer to burn off some time. However, she thought about the meeting and decided not to.
After she was done with the food, there were only seven or eight minutes left till the meeting began!
Eudora estimated that Sawyer would not be able to make it in time.
Just as she was thinking about it, Sawyer had already thrown away the trash and returned to fasten his seat belt.
The next second, he glanced at Eudora from the rearview mirror.
âAre you ready?â
Eudora was stunned. The moment she met his eyes, she nodded subconsciously.
After that, the engine rumbled, and the car dashed forwards as fast as an arrow.
Sawyer did not lie, and actually strayed from the main road, taking another route.
Just behind the breakfast store where they were at, the car drove off and entered a narrow road which led to a residential area.
The road was not well-maintained and filled with potholes.
Eudora looked at the speed of the car and gradually became a little worried. She couldnât help but remind him.
She couldnât help but remind him, âSafety first!â
After that, she met Sawyerâs eyes through the rearview mirror. He was smiling from ear to ear.
âDonât worry!â
At that moment, the look on Sawyerâs face was something that she had never seen before.
He looked confident and did not seem like a person who would shut himself in his own world every day.
Eudora looked at him, and the familiar feeling washed over her again.
Why was the person in front of her so similar to Amos?
As she was thinking about that, the car stopped.
âWeâre here!â Sawyer glanced at his wristwatch. âJust in time.â
Eudora was dragged back to reality. When she looked at Sawyer again, Amosâ aura had completely disappeared from him.
The person in front of her was unconfident and quiet like he had been.
Eudora put those thoughts to the back of her mind and got out of the car.
After Eudora left, Sawyer slightly straightened his back.
This woman was still as sensitive and clever as before. Just now, she had been staring at his back, which made him break out in cold sweat!
Just as what Sawyer had expected, the annual general meeting only ended in the afternoon.
When Eudora walked out of the conference room, she was exhausted.
She only wanted to have a good sleep and did not even want to eat anything.
Therefore, she went to the lounge behind the office and took a nap. When she woke up again, it was dusk.
The dim sunlight made her realize that the sky was getting dark.
She hurriedly stood up, freshened herself up, and walked out of the office.
Clint had left a note on her table. It read, âMadam, there was a meeting in the afternoon that wasnât important, so I had attended on your behalf. The documents on the table arenât urgent either. Please look through them tomorrow!â
Seeing that it was not too late, Eudora sat down and read all the documents. Then, she made some notes.
When she left the company, the street lights were all lit up.
Most of the employees in the company had left.
As soon as Eudora walked outside, she saw that it was snowing. It was the first snow of this year!
Although it snowed every year, at that moment, for some reason, Eudora felt as if she had not seen snow for many years.
There was already a thin layer of snow on the ground. She could hear it crushing beneath her feet as she walked on it.
Eudora walked through the square in front of her and walked towards the parking lot.
When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw the car parked under the streetlight. A black figure stood next to the car, as if the person was a sculpture.
The snow was falling on him, and he was covered in a thin layer of snow.
At that moment, Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She walked towards him and looked at him angrily.
She walked towards him and looked at him angrily, âWhy are you standing here? Itâs snowing. Why didnât you get into the car? You could have waited for me in the company too.â
The expression on Sawyerâs face was the same as usual, not having the slightest ripple.
He only said calmly, âLetâs get into the car!â
Eudora frowned while following his instructions. She opened the door and got into the car. Then, she saw him take off his coat outside the car before entering.
In the end, she was unable to hold it in anymore She ordered him, âIn the future, you can wait for me in the office. You donât have to wait outside!â
After that, she realized that Sawyer might misunderstand her intentions.
So, she added, âItâs just that I donât want my staff to get sick. If you get sick in the future, weâll still have to pay you. Besides, you wonât be able to work. Itâs a double loss for the company.â
Sawyer pursed his lips, âOkay.â
