"Apologize?"
That was probably the funniest joke that Eudora George had heard all her life.
"Felix Meyer, are you crazy? He wants me to apologize to him for what he did to me?"
Felix was unfazed by her outburst. "What else do you want? You'd already ruined the Amos Granger’s project last month. Do you want to ruin this project too? I worked so hard to arrange it for you!"
Arranged?
Eudora looked at Felix in shock. She vaguely recalled her conversation with her assistant that day. He had mentioned that the client was not recently scouted by their department but was an old client who decided to engage their services again.
Why would such a good project fall into their hands so easily?
Eudora came to a shocking realization. She turned to look at Felix and clenched her teeth. "You knew this all along, didn't you? These were all planned by you! You knew what kind of person Franco Horace is and you deliberately arranged for us to meet at the hotel. Were you trying to exchange me for your project!?"
Felix realized that his plans had been exposed, and he didn't even bother covering it up.
"So? I initially wanted to send you off for a better offer. But you refused Amos Granger - that I cannot force you. Franco Horace is still a decent deal. But of course, you just had to go and screw it up."
Eudora was so angry her entire body trembled. She raised her hand and gave Felix a hard slap, "Felix Meyer, you really are an animal!"
When she tried to slap him again, Felix suddenly grabbed her wrist. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Eudora, stop being so shameless! You're no longer someone whom Amos Granger wants. Do you think I'll still be scared of you? This is the last time I'm going to ask you. Are you going to apologize or not?"
"No!" Eudora fiercely shook off Felix's hand and turned around to leave.
The door was unexpectedly pushed open from the other side before she could turn the handle.
