My Second Husband novel Chapter 16

Franco Horace replied with a straight face, his eyes not showing any kind of remorse whatsoever. "What do you mean? Isn't it obvious it's all business? I chased after her because she tried to run away after taking my money..."

Eudora George subconsciously denied. "No..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Amos Granger suddenly clicked his tongue.

"It seems that your discussion with President Horace is not going very well. Maybe you should consider calling it off now." Amos stared at Eudora, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Eudora's face turned pale as she recalled what Amos had said to her before. She felt a wave of sadness in her heart. "We made an appointment to discuss about business, but he was the one who didn't honor his part of the deal first. On what grounds are you believing his words of slander? Just because you are Rosaville City's most successful businessman doesn't mean you should insult me this way, don't you think?"

Amos was stunned. He narrowed his eyes at the struggling woman. She may be helpless, but she was still a feisty little lady.

Franco quickly explained. "President Granger, please don't listen to her nonsense. She's just a measly woman. There's no point talking to her. What do you say if we sit down and have a chat if you're free?" "I'm not in the mood!1' Amos replied impatiently. The man was a nuisance to him.

Franco, however, was unwilling to give up. "Shall we talk when you're in the mood then?"

"Get lost!" Amos suddenly yelled.

Eudora's snide remarks earlier made his blood boil. At the corner of his eyes, he glared at the woman who was hiding behind Harley Louis. Somehow she managed to stir up different kind of emotions in him every time they met.

They were passionate the first time they met, followed by her indifference and distance in the mansion. And today he got to see how desperate and helpless she was.

Her exposed shoulder and trembling body, together with her disheveled long hair reminded him of the first time they met - how she cried so helplessly next to him.

"Franco, are you still not leaving? Do you need me to escort you?" Harley warned the plump man when he noticed Amos' darkening expression.

Franco smiled and nodded. "No no, there's no need for that. I'm leaving right this instant."
