My Second Husband novel Chapter 36

Hearing this, Christopher Gellert was taken aback, but he maintained the smile on his face. "Even so, President Granger, you are too sensitive! It's just a meal between friends..."

Amos Granger sneered and ignored Christopher.

"Eudora, I didn't know when you started making friends like Mr. Gellert. If you had looked for him at the beginning, you would not be in this situation now!" Amos said.

Eudora frowned uncomfortably. But she continued to explain, "I accidentally bumped into Mr. Gellert last time, I agreed to treat him to a meal then."

"A treat? Are you so free? Have you done all your duties?" Amos asked.

The more he talked, the more unpleasant his words became. Eudora knew that he was implying that she had ignored him the past few days.

She knew that she was just a lover and had tried her best to perform her duties. However, she did not expect that he would embarrass her in public.

Suddenly, she felt sad and said, "Sorry, it's my fault. I won't have lunch with him, okay?"

Christopher was still gentle and said, "President Granger, it's not nice of you to speak like this..."

Amos didn't care. "Mr. Gellert, you'd better take care of your own family affairs!"

After that, he turned around and headed off in the opposite direction.

Christopher frowned as he watched the two of them walk away.

They had just gotten in the car when Harley Louis called them.

"Boss, come out and play," Harley said.

Amos was silent. Usually, he didn't like to take part in such activities.

Harley said, "Ah, don't say that I'm not loyal to my friends. I saw that you were in a bad mood today, so I invited you. If you don't want to come, then just forget it!"

"Where is it?" Amos asked.

"Wow!" Harley was excited. "Did you really have a quarrel with sister-in-law?"

"I won't go if you don't tell me now," Amos said.

"Okay, I'll tell you. I'm waiting for you at Nightlife Club!" Harley said.

Amos hung up the phone, furrowed his eyebrows and started the car. He headed towards the club.

When Eudora George returned to the office, she picked up the case again. However, she still couldn't understand it. Amos' words lingered in her mind, upsetting her.

Christopher Gellert came over and put a cup of coffee on her table.

"Sorry for what happened just now..." Christopher said. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry," Eudora said in a low voice.

At that moment, her colleagues returned, and everyone got to work. Eudora picked up the document on the table and said, "President Gellert, I'm going to start my work now."

Christopher nodded and turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back. "The rules of the Granger family are very strict. Be careful."

Eudora paused for a long time, then she let out a bitter laugh.

She and Amos just made a deal and would never see each other's parents. Where did the family rules come from?

Even so, Eudora still left work on time.

No matter what, as long as she was still with Amos, she will honor their deal.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the bus. After Eudora squeezed in, she stood in the middle.

She was thinking about what to do when she went back. Someone behind her suddenly shouted, "Catch the thief!" Eudora was startled as a person ran from behind her and hit her arm.

Eudora heard a crack from her arm and she squatted on the ground, feeling painful.

Other people in the bus worked together to catch the thief. The bus captain came over and asked her, "Miss, are you okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?"

Eudora shook her head, she was almost late. "No, you don't have to. Just stop at the market in front." The bus captain did as she asked.
