Amos was stunned. He didn't know how things had turned out like this, but for someone as smart as himself, he guessed quickly who had come up with this idea.
It must be the doing of Clint and the others. They saw that he was in a bad mood, thus they asked Eudora to come here.
Thinking of this, Amos shook his head. "Although I am angry, it will not affect my judgment. There is no problem with the drawing, but Anya does not have the qualification to handle such a big case. It would only bring us more trouble if she couldn't find a good designer to finish this project together after I agree to the proposal. As a senior designer, you should know this, don't you?"
It never occurred to Eudora that Amos would say that, but she had to admit that he had a point.
"Don't you have a lot of experienced designers in your company? Can't you..."
"Miss George, are you willing to do it?" Amos interrupted her directly.
Eudora George was stunned and immediately shook her head. "Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, you are her good friend, and yet you are not willing to take on this risk. What makes you think others will be willing to? When you first started, you had those who doubted your skills as well. You should know how this industry is. There is no senior designer who is willing to be a foil to others, and Anya naturally will not agree to give away her own efforts to others like this."
Eudora had nothing to say, because Amos was right.
After a while, Eudora nodded. "I understand!"
After that, she retrieved the drawing and walked out.
When the onlookers saw Eudora coming out of Amos's office alive and well, plus the fact that the president didn't break anything, they were so stunned that their mouths dropped to the ground.
"What's going on? Who exactly is this lady?"
The one who questioned was a newbie who came to the Valiant East not too long ago, so he didn't know Eudora. However, there was an experienced employee beside him who recognized her.
"Isn't this the lady who used to come to our office five years ago? At that time, President Granger had a very good relationship with her. However, she stopped coming here a while later, and President Granger got into a car accident not too long after that."
This person seemed to have ignited a bomb. The colleagues buzzed all at the same time, starting a whirlwind of gossip.
Clint interrupted them, "I hope all of you refrain from discussing President Granger's personal life. Isn't the most important thing now is for you to take advantage of President Granger's good mood and submit your proposals?" Clint's words startled them and burst their bubble of gossip. They were stunned for a second before they rushed towards Amos's office all at once.
After everyone left, Clint walked in happily and asked, "President Granger, shall I prepare an office for Miss George?"
Amos glanced at him and huffed, "You're getting braver and braver. How dare you make decisions for me now? Did I say that I want her to come to Valiant East?"
Clint thought to himself, "Your expression says everything. Why are you still pretending?"
However, at the surface, he grinned at Amos, "No, I made the decision on my own. I will accept my punishment."
"That's enough!" Amos said, "She hasn't agreed yet. We'd better not prepare her office yet, in case she finds out."
Clint was stunned. "She hasn't agreed yet?"
"Yet you're this happy already? I thought she had agreed! You're too easy to please, aren't you?" Clint thought to himself.
Amos seemed to know what Clint was thinking, at the same time he seemed like he was answering to himself, "She will agree."
When Eudora went downstairs, she saw that Anya Astor was still waiting for her.
