One Night Stand With That Beggar

Vincent Granger gradually calmed down over the next few days.

The entire mansion was finally back on the right track.

After Eudora’s first design was finished, she sent it to Christopher Gellert for review purposes. However, she realized that Christopher had not been online for several days.

She recalled what had happened at the banquet that day. She had long forgotten about it because of her own family issues.

Couldn’t Christopher let go of the incident that day?

Therefore, Eudora George went to the company when she was free in the afternoon. As soon as she went in, she noticed the immensely tense atmosphere in the company.

Everyone seemed to be very nervous and they were all speaking very softly.

It was as though Eudora had come to the wrong place and ended up in Amos’ office instead. After all, Christopher was known for his good temper. When was he ever upset?

She could not help but stopped Christopher’s assistant and asked in a low voice.

“Is President Gellert in the company today?”

The assistant trembled with fear and nodded hurriedly, “Yes, but I won’t help you to pass any message!”

Eudora was speechless.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She had not even mentioned it yet. How did the assistant know that she needed a favor?

At that moment, someone rushed over and tucked the assistant’s hand and pleaded softly.

“You’re the best. Could you help me just for once? Otherwise, I’m going to be done for.”

“Just go on your own!” the assistant retorted softly.

“You are President Gellert’s assistant…”

Eudora understood immediately. So that was how it was! She gave the assistant a sympathetic look, “What’s going on? Didn’t President Gellert always have a good temper?”

The assistant shrank her neck subconsciously, “I also heard from others that President Gellert has always had a good temper, so I applied for the job. At first, he was really nice but two days ago, he seemed to have changed into another person. He had not left the company at all for the past few days and he would pick on various problems every day. I felt that I could not hold on any longer…”

While they were talking, there was a bang from the inside and the assistant’s hair stood on end.

“Oh my God. He had just smashed another mug but I don’t want to go in and change it…”

Eudora felt a little uneasy. It seemed like what had happened that day had greatly affected Christopher. She even thought that his relationship with Tina Holt would improve because of that!

She took a deep breath and pursed her lips. “Let me help you.”

The assistant immediately stared at Eudora with admiration as if she had seen a goddess.

“You’re a savior…”

At this moment, a group of busy colleagues took out their own documents and handed them to her. “Please.”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

She opened the door carefully. However, before she could step in, she saw an ashtray flying toward her. Fortunately, with her previous experience of dealing with Amos Granger, she managed to dodge that in a nick of time.

She then closed the door.

Behind her came Christopher’s angry roar, “Get out…”

Eudora frowned, “Do men always use this method to scare people away when they’re angry?”

Christopher was taken aback. He looked up and realized that the person in front of him was Eudora. He choked and paused for a while before saying, “Why are you here?”

“If I don’t come, all the employees outside would have been scared away by you.”

She put all the documents on the table and found a place to sit down.

“Did you two quarrel again?”

Christopher’s face darkened, “That is between us. You don’t have to know.”

“I don’t want to know either!” Eudora pursed her lips and continued, “But it did happen at the event that was held by the Granger family. As a member of the Granger family, I think I have the responsibility to care about it.”

“Ha…” Christopher sneered, “Well, you see that I am fine.”

“Really?” Eudora seemed serious and replied, “We’ve known each other for five years, haven’t we? This is the first time I’ve seen you like this. Are you really telling me now that you’re fine?”

Christopher did not speak. He buried himself into the sofa with a deep look in his eyes.

After a long time, he gave a wry smile, “You don’t understand.”

“Of course I don’t!” Eudora frowned and continued, “You think you have been wronged, but you are still a man. Furthermore, I was also there that day. You were drunk and you were the one who treated the other person like that. Why are you acting like the victim? Have you ever thought about Tina’s feelings when you’re not home? She might be sadder than you are.”

Christopher’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“She…”

“Do you finally remember about her now?” Eudora frowned, “If you do, go freshen yourself up now. Look at you. You stink! Go back and see her after washing up!”

Eudora then opened the door and waved to his assistant.

The assistant was so scared that her whole body trembled. She felt as though Eudora’s gesture was like a call from the Grim Reaper.

Oh no. What was going on inside? Was President Gellert trying to find a punching bag?

At this moment, Eudora added, “It’s alright. Prepare a set of clothes and some toiletries for President Gellert to freshen up. It’s alright now!”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s great. It’s a sunny day after the rain…”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

Christopher left the company after packing up. Naturally, he was not in the mood to see the design sketches. On the other hand, Eudora suddenly thought of Amos. The building was not far from Valiant East, so she bought Amos some desserts and headed toward Valiant East.

As soon as she walked through the entrance, the receptionist at the front desk immediately flashed a bright smile at her.

“Mrs. Granger, you’re here? President Granger is upstairs. I’ll take you up right away…”

Eudora was taken aback, “Do you know me?”

It had been five years and the staff at the front desk was probably already replaced. How could the receptionist recognize her at once?

Noticing Eudora’s skeptical looks, the receptionist added, “President Granger sent your photo to every employee two weeks ago and introduced you as Mrs. Granger. He told everyone to give you a warm welcome whenever you visit the company! Besides, haven’t you been to the company before?”

Eudora was speechless.

Two weeks ago? Wasn’t that the time she had agreed to be with him? This guy really had it planned out for a long time!

Eudora was embarrassed as she smiled. She suddenly felt that she should not have come. She handed the cake that she was holding on to the front desk hurriedly, “Please send it upstairs for me. I just remembered that I still have some other matters to attend to…”

The receptionist grabbed her arm immediately, “Mrs. Granger, since you’re already here, why don’t you just head up for a bit. President Granger would be delighted to know that you’re here. I’ll definitely send you up there. Let’s go!”

She was too warm and enthusiastic. These employees are really obedient.

Eudora was helpless. She did not want to cause a scene at the entrance, so she followed the receptionist up.

Along the way, everyone she met was as friendly and warm as the girl at the front desk. It was as if they were about to put her on a fancy carriage and carry her there themselves.

Eudora did not know what to say. She told herself that she would never step into Valiant East ever again.

It was too scary!
