Eudora George took a deep breath and turned the door handle.
As she stepped inside, she noticed a large extravagant desk in the center of the room. The man was leaning with his back against the desk.
"Mr. Granger!" Eudora spoke.
"Ah! You're here." Amos Granger's voice was very calm and indifferent.
On the other hand, the indifference in Amos' voice made Eudora even more nervous.
"Don't be nervous. Take a seat." Amos said as he turned around to face Eudora. He was just as stunning as she had seen him yesterday.
And his eyes especially. If you stare at them long enough, his watchful gaze seemed to be able to pierce through your soul.
"That's alright!" Eudora placed the file on the table. "This is the Phantom Group's proposal. Please take a look."
"There's no need to rush!" Amos didn't even glance at the document on the table. He walked around the table and towards Eudora.
His tall stature was very intimidating as he approached her. With every step he took towards her, Eudora could feel her heart tremble as she took a step back.
"Why did you look like you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Ah?" Eudora was confused. 'What did he mean?1 she thought to herself.
"Felix doesn't treat you very well, does he?"
"What are you trying to say, Mr. Granger? Does it matter if Felix treats me well or not? What does that have to do with you or with the project?"
"Of course it has something to do with the project!"
Amos replied calmly, "If it weren't for you, the Phantom Group wouldn't even have the chance to bid for the project."
Eudora didn't realise that she had walked herself to the corner of the office, her back falling against the wall. There were no other ways to escape. Once again, she was cornered to the wall by the man. Fie breathed in her scent.
It was that very scent that made him intoxicated.
