Eudora was stunned. "Can't you just make an exemption this time? I'm not even an official employee of Valiant East!"
"No, I can't!" Amos replied mercilessly, his tone firm.
"Rules are rules. If I break the rules for you, everyone will bring their children to work in the future. How should I deal with it then?"
In fact, what Amos said was reasonable, and Eudora suddenly felt embarrassed.
"However!" Amos changed the matter of subject swiftly, "I can."
"Oh?" Eudora was confused.
"I am the President. If I take my child with me, no one can say anything!"
"Well..." Eudora became even more nervous. "Forget it!"
"That's settled!" After Amos finished speaking, he immediately took Juju out. He didn't even give Eudora any chance to refute at all.
Eudora was stunned for a moment and then hurried to catch up with him.
Auntie Valerie looked at this scene with a smile as she watched them leave. Going to work as a family was surely a step in the right direction.
That morning, the lobby of Valiant East was crowded and bustling as usual.
All of a sudden, someone shouted, "The President is coming!"
The people who were chatting quickly quieted down and returned to their seats. Those who couldn't return to their seats in time pretended like they were busy working.
The receptionist hurriedly stood up and waited for Amos to come in to offer him the brightest smile of the day.
A figure came closer and closer, and the receptionist quickly greeted, "Hello, Mr. Granger..."
As soon as she finished her words, her eyes fell on the child in Amos' arms, and the words got stuck in her mouth.
Oh gosh, what exactly did she see?
President Granger had actually brought a child with him, moreover, the child was sitting in his arms.
Whose child was she?
While she was thinking, the child in his arm suddenly moved and sneezed directly into Amos' chest. The receptionist quickly took a wet towel and was about to rush over.
After all, President Granger stressed on hygiene and cleanliness all the time. He even required the company to place wet towels and cleaning materials wherever there were people, in order to keep the best spirit and morale at all times.
Unexpectedly, Amos didn't care about the sneeze at all and held the child's face in his palms. Then he touched her head worriedly and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
The child in his arms shook his head, and Amos immediately smiled.
It was not an illusion! The President just smiled!
The employees who saw the scene all gaped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief. Goodness, they had been working in the company for so many years and it turned out that President Granger actually had the capability to smile. They saw it for themselves for the very first time.
Furthermore, his smile was adoring and tender.
So, whose kid was that?
At the same time, someone pulled Eudora aside and asked, "You came in after President Granger, did you see any woman?"
Eudora was stunned. "What woman?"
Since she didn't want to be associated with Amos, she deliberately waited for a few minutes before entering the building.
"Was there a woman in the car along with President Granger when he came? If there was, she has to be the kid's mother!"
Eudora was speechless.
She thought to herself, "Fortunately, I was quickwitted just now."
She shook her head hurriedly, "I didn't see anyone."
