There was a smile on Amos' face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Eudora George avoided his touch. She turned back and sat down on the bed.
The two of them looked at each other silently before he turned around and left for the study.
His words were obvious. He was not going to let either of them go.
He had suddenly become this terrifying man, a man whom Eudora didn't know. However, after thinking about it carefully, Eudora realized that he had always been a scary person, but he had just treated her differently all this while.
After a sleepless night, Eudora decided to go to see Christopher the next day.
After all, she was the reason that all of this had happened to him. She passed by a hot dog stall on the way there. They smelled so good, so she bought two of them.
Christopher was assigned to the warehouse, the one which he and Eudora had built together.
The warehouse had since been renovated. It was extremely dusty and was still in the process of getting cleaned up. Although the company had hired professional cleaners, Christopher, as the person in charge of the warehouse, still had to stay there to supervise the cleaning. When Eudora arrived, Christopher was delegating the work to the staff. He was wearing a casual suit with dust all over his head and face.
It had never occurred to Eudora that that person was Christopher. If he was somewhere else, she would definitely not be able to recognize him.
While this was going through her head, Christopher saw her. He said a few words in a hurry, turned around, and smiled at her, revealing his white teeth.
"Why are you here so early?"
"Just checking the construction site. And checking up on you while I’m at it," Eudora said flatly.
Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, "How nice of you. What's that behind you? Smells good."
Eudora reached out and handed it to him. "Hot dogs. They’re delicious. Go wash your face and we'll have it together!"
Christopher nodded hurriedly. "I'm really hungry. I'll wash my face right now."
Soon, he returned and had regained his original appearance. He finally looked like Christopher Gellert.
After taking a bite at the hot dog, he couldn't help but hum. "This is really good."
"Yeah!" Eudora responded absent- mindedly. Her ears were filled with the sounds of sweeping and garbage truck wheels rolling on the floor.
However, all of this did not suit Christopher. He was transferred here because of her.
"I'm sorry." Christopher was stunned. He swallowed the hot dog in his mouth and shook his head. "Why are you apologizing? I agreed with the project, and that meant that we have to bear the risks together. I am the only one who has been demoted. You’re fine. We should be happy."
Eudora shook her head. He didn't know anything.
He didn't know that TEM Inc was Amos' company, and he didn't know that he was transferred here not just because of the so- called problems in the project.
But how could she tell him that? She could not save him either way, so it was better not to talk about it.
As she pondered on this, Eudora got up and picked up the broom next to her. "You should eat, I'll help you with your work."
Christopher was stunned. "No, this isn’t part of your job."
"Why can't I do it even if it isn’t my job?" Eudora smiled and said, "When I was in the Meyer Family, I did way more than this. It's okay, leave it to me!"
After that, she kicked off her high heels and stepped onto the dusty ground with her delicate feet.
Christopher grabbed her again and said, "You really don't need to help me. Just leave. People might even think that I'm bullying you!"
Eudora was stunned, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.
