Valiant East.
After finishing some tasks, Amos leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to have a rest.
Clint pushed the door open and came in. Amos heard him and opened his eyes to say, âWhatâs nextâ¦â
âIâve pushed it back for three hours. Please take a break, you donât seem to look well.â Clint said.
Amos nodded his head and said, âCall me later then.â
As soon as Amos was done speaking, Harley Louis pushed the door open and came in. âBrother, are you free today? Didnât we say the other day that weâre going to your place to try Sister-in-lawâs cooking?â
Clint was speechless. âWell, it seems like President Granger has no time to rest anymore.â
Harley looked at Clint and asked in puzzlement, âRest? Isnât it still working hours?â He turned his head to see Amosâ pale face, and was shocked by the sight of it.
âWhatâs wrong? Brother, did your Second Uncle do anything to you again?â he asked.
âNo!â Clint said in a hurry. Harley was a talkative person. On the other hand, Amos preferred to remain silent.
If Amos kept quiet, the conversation might end up being just between them both for the next three hours.
âPresident Granger didnât have a good rest last night!â
âOh!â Harley breathed a sigh of relief, and said flirtatiously, âIt seems like your nights have been quite exciting recently!â
Clint was speechless.
Amos rolled his eyes almost instinctively and said, âIâm not free these days, weâll talk about the meal again next time. You should go back now!â
âNo way!â Harley was disappointed. âIâve been very busy recently. Itâs not easy for me to visit you on my leisure time. Look at that attitude of yours, I just wanted to have a meal with you, itâs not like Iâm taking Sister-in-law away from you. Itâs just a meal!â Harley repeated.
Clint kept giving looks at Harley. Of all times, why did he have to mention about Eudora now?
Recently, the relationship between President Granger and Miss George had been rocky. Therefore, President Granger was very annoyed. How dare Harley mentioned about Eudora now!
Fortunately, Harley was sharp enough. He understood what was going on when he realized Clint was throwing a meaningful look at him.
âAre both of you quarreling because of that woman?â He asked.
Upon hearing this, Clint was speechless.
Harley confirmed his answer when he saw the both of them remained silent. âSee, I knew it would be like this. Itâs impossible for a woman to accept their man being with another woman. Is Sister-in-law unhappy? Well, I think you could just buy a bag for her. Bet you havenât heard, but this is in fact the simplest way to make a woman be happy! If one bag doesnât work, get two!â
Harley said proudly, lifting his chin in confidence.
Clint doubted, âAre you sure itâll work?â
âOf course!â Harley nodded his head and said. âJust listen to my advice!â
Clint was speechless. He still found this method unreliable. Moreover, President Granger would probably not agree with this too.
Unexpectedly, Amos looked at them and said, âIâll give it a try.â
Clint was speechless. However, he didnât understand anything about relationships. Therefore, he would just prepare for it as the president said.
âIâll get it prepared now!â
âForget it.â Amos looked at his wristwatch and stood up.
Upon seeing this, Harleyâs eyes lit up. âAre we going to have a meal now?â
Amos shook his head.
He said, âItâs time for my other schedule. Iâll go first.â
Harley was speechless, how could he just leave him like that!
â¦â¦
After his afternoon schedule, Amos passed by a shop on his way back to his office. After hesitating for a while, he decided to enter the shop.
Although he knew well that Eudora was not a materialistic woman, he still wanted to buy her a gift. He couldnât recall gifting her anything before.
Perhaps this would be a great way to start!
The shop assistant noticed his extraordinary temperament. Therefore, she hurried forward to assist him. âSir, are you going to buy a bag for your girlfriend?â
Amos shook his head and added, âItâs for my wife.â
Upon hearing this, Clint was speechless. Amos sounded so loving the moment he mentioned his wife.
It was so rare of Amos, who was usually indifferent, to be so gentle.
In the end, he chose a white business bag and made the payment.
Amos kept admiring the bag on the way back to his office, and Clint did not quite understand why. It was just a bag.
There was nothing special about that bag. However, he was staring at the bag because he bought it for Eudora.
âWould you like to go home directly now?â Clint asked.
âIs there anything else that I have to deal with?â Amos asked.
âYou still have to sign some documents.â Clint said.
Amos looked at his watch and said, âLetâs go back to the company then, and please cancel all activities for tomorrow morning.â Amos said. It was the weekend, and it had been long enough since he spent some quality time with Eudora.
âOkay!â Clint nodded his head and said.
The receptionist shouted as soon as they arrived at the lobby of Valiant East, âAssistant Zuckerberg!â
Clint looked over and saw Wendy holding a pot of soup at the reception counter.
âMiss Liam?â He frowned and said. Amos, who was standing beside him, looked over as well.
The next second, Wendy ran over happily, âAmos, youâre back.â
All the staffs looked at her suspiciously. Why did this woman acted like she was very close to President Granger? Didnât President Granger already announce that he had a girlfriend?
The receptionist said helplessly, âThis young lady insisted on waiting here. I couldnât do anything about it.â
âItâs alright!â Clint said, and walked up to Wendy, âMiss Liam, letâs talk upstairs!â
Wendy followed them to Amosâ office, and only put down the pot of soup when she arrived at Amosâ office. âYou didnât drink much soup last night. So, I cooked another pot for you today. I promise itâs delicious this time. Please taste it.â
Leaving those words behind, she began to pour the soup into a bowl.
Amos stopped her quickly and said, âIâm not hungry, you didnât have to. Plus, youâre still in poor health. Why did you come out?â
âIâm much better already!â Wendy said. âLook, I came out alone and nothing happened. I just kind of missed you, so I came to see you.â
Clint, who was standing aside, felt that something was wrong. Did Miss Liam fall in love with the President?
It was not impossible.
After all, the President was an outstanding person, and Miss Liam had suffered a lot due to various reasons. Now that she was rescued by Amos, how could she not fall in love with him?
But, what about Miss George?
The more Clint thought about it, the more complicated it seemed to be. It was no wonder that Amos, who was an intelligent person, was worried too.
Clint turned around, and pushed the door open to walk out of the office.
Amos walked towards Wendy and said, âYou have your own company now, and Iâve hired a designer to teach you, right? You should learn more from the teacher if youâre free.â
âIâm learning!â Wendy nodded as she quickly took out the sketches from her bag, handing over to Amos. âLook, these are my drawings. Arenât they good?â She said.
âYes!â Amos responded as he nodded.
All of a sudden, Wendyâs glance fell on the bag that Clint had put on the coffee table just now.
She got up and reached for the bag in astonishment, âWhat a beautiful bag! Is this for me?â
