One Night Stand With That Beggar

Hearing this, Christopher Gellert was taken aback, but he maintained the smile on his face. “Even so, President Granger, you are too sensitive! It’s just a meal between friends…”

Amos Granger sneered and ignored Christopher.

“Eudora, I didn’t know when you started making friends like Mr. Gellert. If you had looked for him at the beginning, you would not be in this situation now!” Amos said.

Eudora frowned uncomfortably. But she continued to explain, “I accidentally bumped into Mr. Gellert last time, I agreed to treat him to a meal then.”

“A treat? Are you so free? Have you done all your duties?” Amos asked.

The more he talked, the more unpleasant his words became. Eudora knew that he was implying that she had ignored him the past few days.

She knew that she was just a lover and had tried her best to perform her duties. However, she did not expect that he would embarrass her in public.

Suddenly, she felt sad and said, “Sorry, it’s my fault. I won’t have lunch with him, okay?”

Christopher was still gentle and said, “President Granger, it’s not nice of you to speak like this…”

Amos didn’t care. “Mr. Gellert, you’d better take care of your own family affairs!”

After that, he turned around and headed off in the opposite direction.

Christopher frowned as he watched the two of them walk away.

They had just gotten in the car when Harley Louis called them.

“Boss, come out and play,” Harley said.

Amos was silent. Usually, he didn’t like to take part in such activities.

Harley said, “Ah, don’t say that I’m not loyal to my friends. I saw that you were in a bad mood today, so I invited you. If you don’t want to come, then just forget it!”

“Where is it?” Amos asked.

“Wow!” Harley was excited. “Did you really have a quarrel with sister-in-law?”

“I won’t go if you don’t tell me now,” Amos said.

“Okay, I’ll tell you. I’m waiting for you at Nightlife Club!” Harley said.

Amos hung up the phone, furrowed his eyebrows and started the car. He headed towards the club.

…

When Eudora George returned to the office, she picked up the case again. However, she still couldn’t understand it. Amos’ words lingered in her mind, upsetting her.

Christopher Gellert came over and put a cup of coffee on her table.

“Sorry for what happened just now…” Christopher said.

“No, I’m the one who should be sorry,” Eudora said in a low voice.

At that moment, her colleagues returned, and everyone got to work. Eudora picked up the document on the table and said, “President Gellert, I’m going to start my work now.”

Christopher nodded and turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back. “The rules of the Granger family are very strict. Be careful.”

Eudora paused for a long time, then she let out a bitter laugh.

She and Amos just made a deal and would never see each other’s parents. Where did the family rules come from?

Even so, Eudora still left work on time.

No matter what, as long as she was still with Amos, she will honor their deal.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the bus. After Eudora squeezed in, she stood in the middle.

She was thinking about what to do when she went back. Someone behind her suddenly shouted, “Catch the thief!” Eudora was startled as a person ran from behind her and hit her arm.

Eudora heard a crack from her arm and she squatted on the ground, feeling painful.

Other people in the bus worked together to catch the thief. The bus captain came over and asked her, “Miss, are you okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?”

Eudora shook her head, she was almost late. “No, you don’t have to. Just stop at the market in front.”

The bus captain did as she asked.

She endured the pain and bought the food. At some point, her arm stopped hurting. Eudora gritted her teeth and looked at her bruised arm. The place where she was knocked had begun to swell.

But the pedestrian green light was on. She didn’t have time to think about it and crossed the road.

As soon as she was at the middle of the road, her arms could no longer support the groceries and she dropped them. Just as Eudora was about to pick them up, a car passed by with a whoosh.

Everything had been crushed into a pile of mush.

Staring at what remained of her groceries, Eudora broke down. She squatted on the ground and hugged herself. She just wanted to start over. Why wouldn’t God allow her any hope?

…

At the Nightlife Club, Amos Granger was slumped on a sofa. He had kept a straight face since entering.

Harley Louis came over with a beautiful woman in his arms. “Boss, you can’t do that, can you? I invited you here to have fun. Why are you drinking?”

Amos said nothing and just glared at him coldly.

Harley let go of the beautiful woman and asked, “Did you guys really quarrel?”

“Oh…” Amos sneered. “It’s just a woman!”

Harley curled his lips. “Tsk, tsk!”

“That’s right. She’s just a woman. It’s not a big deal! There are so many beauties here. You can pick whoever you want. Can your illness only be cured by sister-in-law?”

Harley called a woman over.

The woman’s long hair was straight. She looked timid, but her looks were far beyond that of that heartless little fox!

Harley grabbed her arm. “You know about our President Granger right? Serve him well!”

Then he pushed her in the direction of Amos.

Amos frowned when he smelled a strong fragrance. When the woman approached him, he got up.

Harley was stunned. “Where are you going?”

“Home!” Amos said.

Amos rushed back to Clearwater Bay.

Amos pushed the door open and found that there was no one in the room. Amos’ eyes darkened. Was this woman that bold? How dare she refuse to come back home!

Good, very good.

So what if she never came back!

Amos went out and slammed the door. That was when his cell phone rang.

Amos glanced at it and found that it was from Eudora. His mood finally improved a little, and he picked it up.

It turned out to be a stranger’s voice. “Hello, are you Miss George’s family? She’s injured and in our hospital…”

Amos’ face darkened. “Which hospital?”

The stranger gave the address quickly, and Amos rushed to the hospital.

…

In the clinic hall, Eudora George was sitting on a chair, staring blankly at the IV bottle, watching its contents fall drop by drop.

The cold liquid flowed from her veins to her heart.

Suddenly, a shadow covered her head. Before she could see clearly, he wrapped her in a warm embrace.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Where did you get hurt?” Amos asked.

Eudora lowered her head in a daze. For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.

Amos frowned and asked, “Can’t you speak? Hmm?”

“I’m fine!” She sniffed. “I’m sorry. All the groceries have been crushed, and I couldn’t do my duty tonight.”

She still tried to act tough! But it made people sympathize with her.

Looking at her injured arm, Amos sighed helplessly.
