My Second Husband novel Chapter 1055

Eudora burst into laughter while saying, "Nonsense! He won't do that."

"Won't he? I think he is expressing his envy for Clint, who has a wife that sends him lunch."

Eudora was speechless. She then replied, "When he gets back later, I'll tell him what you have commented on him."

"Madam, please don't tell him. I'm afraid that he will glare at me."

"Then, don't make fun of him! He's really fierce."

At the same time, Amos was still upset after hanging up the phone.

He wondered why Eudora failed to understand him anymore. He was so exasperated that he decided to ignore her for a while.

Consequently, he directly turned off his mobile phone.

When Eudora came back to her senses and wanted to apologize to him, her call would not get through. In this way, the seriousness of the situation would dawn on her.

Five minutes later, he picked up his mobile phone

again.

"Wait, if that's the case, I won't know if she calls me. Maybe it's better to turn on my phone."

Therefore, he turned it back on.

However, even after his phone was turned on, not a single phone call came through at all.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that my telephone bill is overdue?"

Archer, the secretary, happened to come into his office and heard his whisper, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Archer was in charge of Amos's daily matters. Failing to renew his telephone bills in time was a terrible blunder in work.

Archer trembled in fear, "Sir, please don't be angry. I'll go and settle the telephone bill immediately!"

Before Amos could say anything, Archer had already run out.

A moment later, Archer came back.

"Mr. Granger, your bills are not overdue. However, just to make sure, I've topped up another 10,000 dollars into your mobile phone credits. Now, there is 19,500 dollars in it. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Amos couldn't stand it anymore.

He pondered the reason why there were still no incoming calls in spite of such an amount of credits.

"There's something wrong with this telecommunications provider."

Archer, nonplussed by his odd comment, asked, "What?"

Clint came back like a dog with two tails after he had finished his meal and taken his medicine. He went to see if Amos had eaten his meal.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Amos's office, he saw Archer standing there, looking dazed.

"What's wrong?"

Clint was in a good mood hence he asked that question.

Archer grabbed Clint's arm right away as if he was the last glimmer of hope.

"Assistant Zuckerberg, help me!"

"What's going on? Is President Granger unhappy again?"

"It's not that. He has been behaving strangely today. First, he said that the telephone bill was overdue. Then, he said that there's something wrong with his mobile service provider. Is he hinting that I should go and investigate the situation of the communication service providers?

So, our company is going to make a foray into the communication services market?"

Upon hearing Archer's words, Clint started laughing his head off.

"It's not your fault. You'd better hurry up and get back to your work!"

Confused, Archer asked again, "Really? Will President Granger feel that I've failed to perform my job well?"

"No, he won't! He's just waiting for a call."

"Is the call important? Which client is it from? I'll investigate the matter."

"It's not a client, but his sweetheart instead. In short, you don't have to worry about this. Be careful not to gossip about it though, or you will get into trouble!"

Originally, Archer wanted to gossip about the matter, but upon hearing that, the thoughts of doing it were banished at once. Archer quickly turned around and left.

Clint thought about it for a while and decided to keep himself away from Amos for the time being.

Amos was used to display his affection for Eudora in front of Clint. Thus, he felt content to watch Amos suffer from jealousy.

However, he had miscalculated how angry Amos

would be.

In the afternoon, Clint went into the office to report on his work in high spirits. Just as he opened the door, he could not help but shiver.

It was incredibly cold inside. He looked at the remote control of the air conditioner and found that the temperature had been set to 16°C.
