One Night Stand With That Beggar

Steven Granger maintained an innocent look on his face, “Eudora, of course, you may opt to reject me!”

“Forget it!” Eudora George shook her head, “I’ll do it.”

“Really?! I knew that you wouldn’t reject me,” Steven said, “I’m going to the construction site now. Eudora, would you like to come with me?”

“Sure!” Eudora nodded as she spoke. Since she had accepted the project, she would have to visit the construction site one way or another. It would not matter whether she were to head over today or the day after.

Christopher Gellert immediately said, “I’m coming along too!”

Steven suddenly smiled, “President Gellert, you’re such a good boss! You’re even willing to accompany your employee to the construction site!”

Christopher frowned. Eudora then said in a hurry, “It’s okay. I can go by myself. Besides, you had just gotten back. There are a lot of things that still need your attention.”

Christopher then glanced at Tina Holt who was next to him and finally nodded, “Alright then. Be careful.”

“I’ll take good care of Eudora!”

After that, Steven left with Eudora.

After they left, Tina came over and said, “She’ll be fine, right? Perhaps I should have tagged along too.”

“You? You will only get in her way.”

Tina glared at him, “Christopher, are you trying to pick a fight with me?”

Christopher took her into his arms hurriedly, “I thought we have already made a deal. I thought we promised to treat each other nicely.”

Tina then broke into a smile, “But what about Eudora?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Don’t worry!” After saying that, Christopher took his mobile phone out right away and dialed a number.

At this moment, Amos’ cell phone rang as he was about to attend a meeting. He glanced at it and saw that it was Christopher.

Although he and Christopher had spent the weekend together and did not speak much during their trip, they had somewhat become friends. Therefore, he answered his phone.

“What’s up?”

“Steven came by my office and brought Eudora out!”

Amos felt a chill in his heart, “What? Why?”

“He signed a contract with our company and requested for Eudora to design an amusement park for him…”

Amos Granger had already hung up the phone before he could finish his sentence. He then turned to Clint Zuckerberg, “Cancel the meeting. Something urgent just came up.”

…

Steven planned to build his amusement park in the suburbs, which was quite far away from Rosaville City. It was surrounded by mountains. One sweeping glance would reward one with a view of windmills spinning leisurely on the mountain.

The land there was inexpensive, so it was not difficult to acquire. The land had been more or less cleaned up. Now, there were only a few workers measuring the land.

After Steven got out of the car, he smiled and said, “Eudora, what do you think? The scenery here is beautiful, don’t you think?”

Eudora was not in the mood to talk to him, so she immediately said, “Let’s get to work!”

“Eudora, you are so serious! As I said, you really are the most hardworking person I have ever seen.”

The flattery didn’t work and Eudora couldn’t care less about what he said. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Steven stopped the workers next to her and said, “Come here and help Miss George to measure the land.”

The land area was really huge and Eudora couldn’t do anything alone, so she didn’t refuse the help. After a while, Steven brought some water over and said, “Eudora, are you tired? Do you want some water?”

Although Eudora was thirsty, she shook her head and said, “No, thanks. I’m not thirsty,” Steven opened his bottle of water and drank it.

After drinking two mouthfuls of water, Steven’s face suddenly darkened and he turned to Eudora.

“Eudora, you sure have guts! I can’t believe that you dared to come with me!”

Eudora was stunned and she looked at Steven suspiciously. The next second, she saw Steven covering his stomach as he laughed.

“Eudora, you’re no fun. I’m trying to scare you, yet you’re not afraid at all!”

In fact, Eudora’s heart had skipped a beat when she heard those words. She only relaxed after realizing that Steven was joking, “Hurry up and work. Stop talking nonsense!”

Steven didn’t stop and he continued, “You and Amos really do have a good relationship.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m just speaking the truth! If you don’t believe me, then look…”

She turned and look at the direction Steven was pointing at. Then, she saw a familiar car approaching the site. Wasn’t that… Amos’s car?

All of a sudden, she felt at ease.

Eudora stared at Amos as he parked the car and walked over, “Why are you doing here?”

Amos looked at Steven and spoke calmly.

“I’m here to see the land,” Amos said as he touched Eudora’s fingers lightly, “It’s windy out here. Why didn’t you wear more clothes?”

Eudora shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Steven said hurriedly, “Amos, are you worried that I’ll take her away? Why did you come here all of a sudden?”

Amos frowned, “Don’t get me started. Didn’t I already introduce you to those other designers? Why are you still taking matters into your own hands?”

“Isn’t this good?” Steven didn’t take his words too seriously, “Now, our family could finally work together. What’s not good about that?”

Amos ignored him and immediately reached out for Eudora’s hand, “Let’s go back.”

Eudora shook her head, “It’s okay, Amos. Since I have accepted this project, I must see this till the end. Don’t worry about me.”

“You’re the best, Eudora!” Steven smiled and said, “Amos, don’t worry. I will take good care of her!”

Amos glanced at him. He then turned to look at Eudora, “Are you almost done for today?”

“Yeah, more or less!” Eudora said, “I still need to go over there and measure the land. Could you wait for me for a few minutes? We’ll go back together once I’m done.”

Amos nodded and watched Eudora leave.

Steven smiled, “Amos, Eudora has changed a lot over the years. She is not as weak as before.”

Amos snorted, “You’ve changed too.”

“Really?” Steven’s face was full of joy.

Steven didn’t want to see Amos’ fake expression, so he walked toward Eudora instead.

On the way back, Amos said, “Don’t worry. I’ll find someone to take over the project. You better not get involved in it.”

Eudora shook her head, “No! I’m done measuring the land. Hence, I do not need to go to the construction site anymore. Besides, if Steven really intends to fight with you, he would definitely find other ways to make things difficult for you even if we refuse the project. It’s better to get this over with.”

Amos’ face gradually darkened, “Eudora…”

“Are you scared?” Eudora said with a smile. She had intended to ease the tension, but she did not expect Amos to nod and say, “Yes, I am. It wasn’t easy reuniting with you and Juju. I don’t want to lose both of you again.”

Amos didn’t expect that he would be so scared. He had never been so worried before.

However, when he saw Eudora and Steven standing together, he couldn’t help but worry. He always felt like he was about to drag her into another unpleasant situation.

Eudora’s heart ached when she saw Amos being so vulnerable. She took his hand hurriedly and put it on her lips.
