My Second Husband novel Chapter 34

"Oh, that's what you said!" the man laughed. "If you really feel sorry, it's still not too late, you can treat me to dinner."

Eudora George said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time tonight."

It was quite late, and Eudora had to go back to prepare dinner for Amos Granger. This was her job and duty as his lover.

"It's okay!" the man replied nicely. "When you work at the company, we will have plenty of opportunities."

"Thank you!" Eudora said sincerely.

Just as he was about to leave, the man added, "My name is Christopher Gellert. Don't forget it."

Eudora nodded vigorously.

In the evening, Eudora prepared a candlelight dinner.

When Amos came back, he saw the little woman sitting in the dim candlelight, her eyes shining.

He walked over and kissed her on the top of her head. Only then did Amos ask, "Did something good happen?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded with a smile. "I've found a job."

"Is it about Gellert family's Everpeace?" Amos asked flatly, maintaining his posture.

Eudora nodded quickly, and she couldn't help feeling happy in her heart. "I used to work there, this time I'm still in the same position. I'm sure I can do it..."

Sure enough!

Although Amos had already known the little fox intended to escape, it was still uncomfortable to hear her say so outright.

Amos frowned and said coldly, "You're not allowed to go."

Eudora's happy expression froze. "Why?"

"There's no reason. I'm telling you not to go," Amos said.

The disappointment in her eyes was apparent, so Amos added, "Clint has already arranged for you to be my assistant. You can go to work tomorrow."

His assistant?

Eudora finally realized that he had been humoring her. He treated her like a little pet and teased her. Amos had never thought her worthy of freedom and respect.

Therefore, he had only given her an assistant job so that she could work with him 24 hours a day.

In the end, she was still losing herself, just like when she was in Meyer family.

"I won't go!" Eudora stated firmly.

This was the first time she had spoken to Amos in such a tone.

"Be good, don't lose your temper!" Amos reached out to touch her hair but Eudora pushed him away. "I don't have a temper. I'm just expressing my opinion. I want to work for myself, not be your assistant." "Is there any difference?" Amos frowned. He gave her a job just as she wanted.

"Of course there's a difference!" Eudora's chest heaved violently. "I want to realize my self-worth, not be a pet following you around forever!"

Amos' eyes darkened. "Isn't your self-worth attained by staying by my side and performing your responsibilities? What's wrong? Have you forgotten that in just a few days?"

Hearing this, Eudora's heart sank.

After a long time, she finally gave a wry smile. "Yes, so I'm just a pet that always stays by your side? I forgot! I'm sorry."

Eudora bowed to Amos stiffly and sat back at the table. "Mr. Granger, let's have dinner!"

Amos frowned. "Mr. Granger", how very harsh.
