My Second Husband novel Chapter 21

In the Valiant East Group.

One of the supervisors was reporting on the daily work updates to Amos Granger in the conference room.

The Assistant Manager knocked the door and entered the room. He leaned over and whispered a few words next to Amos' ear. Amos' eyes darkened and he immediately got up from his seat.

"We'll do this another time!"

"President... President Granger?"

Before the supervisor could finish his sentence, Amos had already left the conference room.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What would have triggered their workaholic boss to leave everything immediately and rush out the meeting like that. It was truly an unusual sight.

Eudora George trembled in fear at the sight of the psychotic man standing in front of her. 'Perhaps, this is the end.' she thought to herself.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door.

It wasn't a knock. It sounded like someone was pounding at the door.

Franco Horace cursed as he released Eudora from his grasp. "Damn, who's that?"

The door suddenly slammed open. Behind the walls, Amos' stern face appeared. He immediately noticed Eudora was being tied to the bed and her clothes were torn everywhere.

His heart started beating wildly. At the speed of light, he swung his fist at Franco's face.

"Granger..." Before Franco could utter another word, Amos pinned him down to the ground. Harley Louis arrived shortly after and assisted in securing Franco.

"Take him outside!" Amos turned to look at Harley.

Harley nodded. He looked at Eudora and Amos and dragged Franco out from the room.

Amos took off his coat and slowly stepped towards Eudora. He placed the coat lightly over her trembling body.

Eudora, who was still in a daze, shriveled at his touch. She screamed, "Don't touch me!"

"It's me!" Amos pulled Eudora into his arms. "It's Amos. Don't be afraid."

"Amos?" Eudora raised her head, her throat dry and her lips cracked. The man looked at her solemnly. It was completely different from the mad man earlier.

"I'm here. Don't be afraid."

She wasn't sure if it was the concerned tone in his voice, or it was just his presence, but those assuring words were just the ones she needed to hear. She started bawling as she pulled Amos' chest closer to her. She was no longer afraid.

Amos enveloped her in his arms and soothed her as she sobbed till there were no more tears left to cry.He then carried her up and left the basement. When Eudora woke up, it was already the next day. She looked around and realised that she was lying on a hospital bed, the wounds on her body were already dressed.

A woman in a business suit sat next to the bed. She stood up and smiled when she saw that Eudora had already woken up. "Miss George, you're awake. I'm Mr. Granger's assistant and my name is Anya Astor. Mr. Granger assigned me to attend to your needs should you require anything..."

Amos' assistant..."

The memory from yesterday flashed in her mind. If Amos hadn't shown up, then she would have...

Felix Meyer, you are too cruel.

"Where is Mr. Granger?"

Hearing this, Anya laughed lightly. "Mr. Granger postponed the meeting yesterday to save you, so he went to the company early this morning to resume the meeting. He will come over later to visit you."

"Oh!" Eudora nodded. "Then I guess I'll just wait for him to come back!"

Anya was slightly taken aback. "Is there something I can do for you?"

Eudora didn't say anything. She laid down and closed her eyes. Soon she dozed off again.
