Chapter 48 An Impending Storm
Amos Granger took Eudora George to a French restaurant. After sitting down, Eudora couldn’t help but rant to Amos.
“Hey! Have you read the newspaper in the morning? Is this why you don’t like Samantha?” Eudora asked.
She teased Amos but her eyes lightened up with a smile.
This little woman was bold enough to tease him now, Amos thought. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Just because of this, you’re happy? Well, I guess you’ll be happier later.”
“Is there any other good news?” Eudora asked happily.
While Eudora was talking, the door of the restaurant was pushed open violently. Samantha Cooper entered the restaurant unhappily and walked towards them.
Eudora was stunned. “What is she doing here?”
Samantha was standing in front of her before she could even finish her sentence.
She looked even worse than the day before. Samantha stood in front of them without saying anything. Eudora couldn’t figure out what she was going to do!
The servant, who was standing behind Samantha, reminded her carefully, “Miss Samantha, didn’t Second Master say…”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry!” Samantha said to Eudora flatly. Eudora’s mouth twitched. She thought, “Is she apologizing to me? But it doesn’t sound like an apology.”
After saying that, Samantha turned around to leave. However, Amos said in a low voice, “No one will force you if you don’t want to apologize.”
“Amos Granger!” Samantha burst into anger. She continued, “I liked you so much. But, why are you treating me like this? What’s good about this woman? She is a divorcee!”
Upon hearing this, Amos’ face darkened like an impending storm.
“Watch your words!” he said.
He looked enraged. His expression was a hundred times scarier than Harry Granger when he was venting his anger.
Amos had scared the living daylights out of Samantha. She froze.
The servant, who was standing beside Samantha, was so frightened that she inadvertently dropped the gift to the ground.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose!” the servant apologized immediately.
“Get out of here now!” Amos roared.
The servant scampered off immediately. But after taking a few steps, she realised that Samantha was still standing there. She hurried back to pull Samantha away.
Amos was still in a gloomy mood after Samantha and the servant left the restaurant. Eudora reached out her hand to hold his hand and said, “Hey, are you still angry? I’m not even upset.”
Amos gritted his teeth and said angrily, “I think she doesn’t want to live anymore!”
Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She said, “Please don’t be like this, Amos. You don’t have to be so angry with her. Don’t you want to enjoy lunch with me? I dare not eat if you continue to be angry.”
This woman…
In the end, he sighed and said, “Okay, let’s eat.”
After lunch, Amos sent Eudora back to her company. Then, he went back to his company.
Clint Zuckerberg approached him when Amos had just arrived at his office. Clint said, “President Granger, I took a glance at the list handed over by the Human Resources department just now. Guess whose name I saw?”
“Steven Granger!” Amos said coldly. He was not surprised at all.
Clint smiled and said, “Well, it seems that you have already figured it out. Yup, it’s him. What do you think about this?”
“What’s he good at?” Amos asked.
Clint shook his head and said, “He’s not very outstanding. Well, he’s just average among all the candidates.”
Amos sneered and said, “His father would definitely be fuming if he heard what you have just said.” Harry treasured his son a lot!
Harry had wanted to claim the Granger family’s assets as his own so that his son could inherit them in the future.
“Well, I’m just telling the truth,” Clint said earnestly.
Amos shook his head and said, “Please tell the Human Resources department to make an exception and recruit Steven.”
Upon hearing this, Clint was stunned. However, he didn’t ask anything. He nodded and proceeded to do according to what Amos had instructed him to do.
In the afternoon, Harry received the news that Steven was recruited. He was on cloud nine. He went to the Old Master’s study room immediately.
“Brother! I’ve told you that Steven is capable, right?” Harry said happily.
Old Master Granger did not show any facial expression. He was practicing calligraphy. Amos had the same aura as him. People could tell that they were father and son.
“Then ask him to work hard,” Old Master Granger said.
Harry nodded his head immediately. “That’s for sure. Steven will definitely work hard for Valiant East.”
“That’s good. His skills are secondary since we have Amos in our family. You should pay more attention to his behaviour instead. Don’t let him ruin our family’s reputation.”
“What a cunning man!” Harry thought.
Harry gritted his teeth and said, “I think the news that we saw this morning is fake. Samantha grew up with us. Although she is a little wayward, she still knows how to behave herself. I guess you don’t know that she accidentally crashed into Eudora’s car in the parking lot yesterday. They had a dispute. How could she be in the mood to go to the nightclub to have fun at night?”
Harry said while observing Old Master’s facial expression.
“You mean Eudora George?” Old Master Granger asked.
“Yup, it’s her! Samantha said she grazed her car in the parking lot yesterday. After that, the news came out this morning. I’m afraid it’s not a coincidence! Anyway, I’ve already asked her to apologize to Eudora today.”
Old Master Granger knew the hidden meaning behind his lines.
However, he wouldn’t say it out. He asked Harry to leave instead, “All right. I understand. You can go out now.”
“Oh, there’s one more thing. Steven is recruited into Valiant East with his own effort. Why don’t we have a meal together to celebrate?”
“You can arrange it then!” Old Master Granger said.
“Great!” After saying that, Harry went out happily and closed the door behind him.
Old Master put down his calligraphy brush and his face sank.
It was obvious that Harry wanted to show off in front of Amos. The first thing he did was to inform Amos.
……
Eudora initially wanted to go to the construction site to have a look, but as she was leaving, she received an anonymous phone call.
After picking up the call, the voice from the other side of the phone said, “Hello, Miss George. I’m the housekeeper of Granger Mansion. Mr. Granger asked me to inform you to come over for dinner tonight.”
Eudora was stunned. “Is it Amos who invited me?” she asked.
“Yes!” the housekeeper replied.
After hanging up the phone, Eudora felt that something was amiss. She quickly gave Amos a phone call. However, Amos’ phone was switched off. It seemed that something had really happened.
Eudora got off work early. Then, she dressed up and got ready to go for dinner.
Eudora arrived at the Granger Mansion. However, someone grabbed her arm as soon as she got out of the car.
“Why are you here?”
Eudora turned around and saw Amos. She couldn’t help but complain, “Hey! I couldn’t reach you on the phone. Your housekeeper had asked me to attend this dinner.”
Amos frowned and said, “I’ll ask Clint to send you back immediately.”
Harry came out of the mansion when they were talking. “Hey, why don’t you come in since you’re here? It’s a celebration dinner. The more the merrier,” he said.
It seemed that this had something to do with the family from the second wife. They knew that Old Master Granger didn’t like Eudora. Why did they still ask her here? Nothing good would come from this!
“No. I have to go back first. I just remember I have something to do!” Amos rejected.
However, the housekeeper came out as soon as Amos turned around to leave. The housekeeper said, “Young Master, Miss George, Old Master is waiting for both of you!”
