My Second Husband novel Chapter 269

Steven Granger heaved out another sigh when he saw that Eudora George was quiet.

"To be honest, I'm also pretty troubled. Since I was a child, my family has been in a mess. I really admire families in which everyone could get along well. It's hard to achieve for a family like ours."

He was right. While Eudora was still extremely cautious around Steven, she did agree with his sentiments.

"Unfortunately, I was still young at that time, so I couldn't do anything about it. Now that I've grown up, I'm finally capable of dealing with it. In the future, I'm certain that Amos and I will be able to get along with each other."

Eudora raised her eyebrows.

Steven did not push further when he realized that Eudora was unconvinced. "Actions speak louder than words in matters like these. Only time will tell."

All of a sudden, he asked, "Eudora, if I remember correctly, you're a designer, right?"

Eudora nodded, "Yes!

"That's great! Our amusement park is currently looking for a designer. My father said Valiant East has a lot of professional designers who are willing to help me with this. However, my vision is very much different from theirs. I'm not saying that Valiant East's designers aren't good. It's just that they're all too old- fashioned! I want to incorporate something fresh and hip into my project. You lived abroad for a while, weren't you? Would you be interested in joining our team?"

Was he asking for her help for his project?

Eudora thought it was inappropriate, and that it would be better if she refused, "I don't think it's right for me to do that. I think it'd be better for you to ask Amos about this."

Steven looked a little disheartened, "Ah, I see. That's okay. I suppose I won't take up any more of your time then!"

He then left the Ruby House.

Looking at his retreating back, Eudora felt a little confused. Steven...

At this moment, Auntie Valerie spoke, "Miss, I think that this might be an antique painting."

Eudora was snapped out of her thoughts and she proceeded to open the box. It really was an antique painting, and it seemed to be an artwork from a famous painter.

Based on her experience with such art, Eudora could tell that the gift was authentic. Steven was really generous.

"Where shall we put this, Miss?" Auntie Valerie asked.

Having thought about it for a moment, "Leave it in the storage room for now!"

Auntie Valerie nodded and followed her orders. Meanwhile, in Valiant East.

Harley Louis had been incredibly bored for the past few days. Upon hearing Amos' plan to take a holiday trip together, Harley came to the office early in the morning just to ask Amos about it.

He was shocked when he learned that Christopher Gellert would be tagging along too.

"Fu*k, you're doing all this just to defeat a rival. You've really turned crazy!"

Amos spared him a leisurely glance, "Not only will I be able to do that, but I'm also going to set him up with someone else too."

"Oh, that's much more vicious than beating him up! Thank goodness we're friends."

At this moment, Clint Zuckerberg came into the office, "Young Master Steven is here with his proposal"

Amos nodded, "Ask him to wait for me in the conference room."

Harley was shocked, "Steven? Which Steven? Your Uncle Harry's son?"

"Who else would it be?"

"Holy heck! Are you actually negotiating with him? Just tell him to f*ck off!" Harley hollered angrily, his rage befitting his job title.

Whenever he thought about the hardships that Harry Granger had put Amos through, he was tempted to just spring up from his seat and break something in rage.

Clint looked at Harley helplessly, "Please calm down, Mr. Louis."

"Calm down? What do you mean? They must be thinking of ways to take advantage of you, Amos. I just know it!"

"I know what I'm doing," Amos responded, heading to the conference room.

After he left the office, Harley recalled their indefinite plans for tomorrow and he proceeded to run after Amos. "Hey, are we still going tomorrow? The trip?"

"Of course!" Amos called back.
