One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora was so happy. She ran towards Amos and gave him a kiss.

But he sealed her lips with a French kiss. After that, Eudora exclaimed, “Oh, my lipstick!”

She burst into laughter when she saw that Amos’ lips were covered with red smears from her lipstick.

They went to work separately after breakfast.

She had not been to the office for nearly half a month. She felt a little nervous.

TEM Inc. had changed the company’s layout and decoration after the acquisition. It had a more professional vibe to it now.

Eudora made her way to the top floor. The entire office was unusually quiet.

The atmosphere in the company was suffocating. It was as though the company had fallen into another crisis.

A chill ran down her spine. She quickly entered her office.

Eudora crept toward her seat carefully in the silent office. She turned around immediately when she heard footsteps behind her.

At this moment, she heard a loud pop behind her. She turned around and saw Christopher smiling at her. He had a party popper in his hand.

“Welcome back!”

Eudora covered her chest and looked at her colleagues in bewilderment.

“You guys scared me!”

“You must be thinking that our company is going to close down again, aren’t you?” Christopher teased.

“President Gellert, you shouldn’t say that!” One of the colleagues replied with a smile.

“Yes, President Gellert! You have to treat us to coffee today.”

“Sure!” Christopher exclaimed, “Coffee is on me!”

“Thank you, President Gellert!” Everyone went back to their seats after that.

Eudora was ready to work. She took out her design drafts once she was settled in her seat.

“This is the draft that I had drawn at home recently. However, I have a few safety concerns. Please have a look at it. I will make the necessary amendments if there are any problems.”

Christopher took the draft from her and studied it carefully. He replied, “It seems like you’re in a good mood. President Granger must be treating you well.”

“It’s not too bad!” Eudora answered with a smile.

Christopher raised his eyebrows, “That’s good. I’ll have a look at this first and we’ll talk later.”

He turned around and was about to leave the office. He paused and then suggested, “Let’s have a team dinner tonight to celebrate your return. I’m sure that President Granger would not be too bothered by it, right?”

Eudora was surprised. She rolled her eyes secretly when she remembered the argument between Christopher and Amos.

“I will be there!”

“That’s good!”

After Christopher left, Eudora pondered for a while and sent a message to Amos.

It read, “Attending a team dinner tonight. Will be home late.”

Soon, Amos replied, “Enjoy.”

His consent was completely unanticipated. Eudora pursed her lips and replied him with a kissing emoji.

Amos grinned at Eudora’s text. The department manager, who was reporting his weekly progress, stared at him in disbelief. The documents in his hands dropped on the floor.

What did he just see? Did President Granger just smiled?”

…

In the evening. At Shelby’s private club.

The colleagues were babbling among themselves once they arrived at the club.

“I can’t believe that President Gellert is so generous. This place looks expensive.”

“This is all thanks to Eudora. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money?”

Eudora was astounded at their remarks. She chimed in, “Don’t make this kind of joke. President Gellert treats everyone equally.”

They looked at each other and chuckled.

One of the colleagues stood up and suggested, “Let’s have a toast! If it weren’t for Eudora and President Gellert, we might have lost our jobs!”

“That’s right! Cheers!”

Everyone lifted their glasses in the air. Eudora finished a glass of wine at one shot. However, they insisted that she get up for another round of toast.

Christopher stood in front of Eudora and stopped them.

“Shouldn’t you all propose a toast to your boss first?”

“Wooo, are you protecting her now?”

Eudora blushed and answered quickly, “It’s okay! I can handle this!”

Christopher downed another glass next to Eudora.

“C’mon, let’s drink to our hearts’ satisfaction!”

Eudora frowned while the colleague next to her asked curiously,

“Eudora, do you know that President Gellert visited you every day when you were hospitalized?”

“That’s right. I saw his car several times when I passed by the hospital.”

Did that happen? However, Eudora was sure that she had only seen him once…

“I was just doing my work. Stop talking nonsense!” Christopher quickly explained.

Eudora nodded and smiled awkwardly, “I need to use the washroom.”

Christopher quickly chased after her and asked, “Are you alright? They were just joking.”

“I’m fine!” Eudora turned around and went to the washroom.

She splashed some water on her face and leaned against the door for a while.

She felt a little dizzy when she was on her way back to the room. A man stood in front of her and blocked her way.

“Hey, beauty! Why are you alone?”

Eudora cursed in her heart and answered, “My boyfriend is over there. He will come and look for me soon if I don’t go back.”

The man was not surprised, “Oh? So what? Ask your boyfriend to come and fight with me then. Let’s see who’s the stronger one.”

He reached out and grabbed Eudora’s arm. Eudora took a step back and frowned, “Get out of my way.”

“Ohh, you’re tough! I like it!” He pulled her into his arms.

…

In another private room in Shelby’s private club.

Amos took a sip of wine from the glass in his hand. Harley was babbling next to him.

“Why did you buy that place? I thought that you were reluctant to talk about it.”

Amos’ expression darkened, “Well, let bygones be bygones. Time to bid farewell to the past.”

“That’s true!” Harley sighed, “We’ll tear the place down, build a playground, and bury all the unpleasant things. Let’s do whatever we want!”

Amos didn’t say a word. He seemed to be reminded of Eudora’s confession.

Her voice echoed in his mind, “I’ll always be with you.”

He nodded while the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Harley immediately covered his mouth, “Something’s going on! Boss, you’re so in love!”

Amos threw a lighter at him and roared, “Shut up!”

At this moment, the door was pushed open and a group of people came in.

Thomas Shelby entered the room with two beautiful women in his arms while his men followed behind him, “President Granger, I had to put a lot of effort into looking for you!”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Amos frowned and immediately greeted, “President Shelby, it’s been a while.”

Thomas sneered, “It really is. I even helped you when we met previously. But why did you ruin my business? How should we settle this now?”
