It was unfathomable for the almighty Amos Granger to be concerned over such matters all of a sudden.
Eudora thought that he was just joking, so she merely laughed it off.
It turned out that Amos had stayed hidden in the study room all night long as though he was dealing with some mysterious national confidential.
This was how the last night had transpired!
When Amos came back, he racked his brains and thought about ways to take Eudora on a date. Unfortunately, he was truly bad at it. He thought about it for a long time but he failed to come up with any solution.
In the end, he had no choice but to ask his friends for help.
The first person he asked for help was Clint.
Clint had been working for Amos for many years, and he had always given his best effort. However, as he had always gone all out as Amos' assistant, he did not even have time to date.
In the end, after a few critical dispaly of affection from Amos, Clint finally took the first step.
He chatted happily with an online friend.
The girl on the other side seemed to be very satisfied with the information that Clint provided her with. Just as he was about to get to know her on a deeper level, she asked a question. "If your girlfriend calls you, will you respond to her immediately?"
Just as Clint was about to reply, his phone rang.
It was the ringtone that he had customized for Amos' call. As soon as he heard it, Clint was on full alert. He immediately sat still and answered the phone.
"Mr. Granger!"
"Are you busy?" Amos asked.
Clint did not know what to say.
It was strange for Amos to want to chat with him. Clint quickly recalled everything that he had done in his work recently. After confirming that he had not made any mistakes, he answered.
"Not at all!"
"That's good!" Amos nodded, "I just want to ask you something."
Clint breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please."
Amos hesitated for a moment. For a second, he didn't know what to say.
Clint got anxious again. Was it a tricky situation? After thinking about it attentively, he remembered the conflict that Amos had recently with Steven and Bethany, but that was temporarily in control.
So, what was happening at this moment?
While Clint was still puzzled, Amos finally spoke.
"Here's the thing! I wanted to ask you, what do you usually do on a date?" Clint was just taking a sip of water when he spat it all on the table.
Choking and coughing on his water, Clint tried to confirm what he had just heard, "A date?"
"Yes!" Amos nodded, "I'm going to take Eudora out for a date, so I wanted to ask you for some ropes."
Clint was devastated, "President Granger, as your professional assistant, I would really like to help you. However, I have been single for 25 years. I really don't know much about dating..."
Before he could even finish his sentence, the call was already disconnected.
Clint did not know what to say.
Did Amos really have to hang up on him like that just because he could not get what he wanted from him?
However, this was not the worst part. Clint tried to comfort himself. Although he was single, he believed that he was about to make a breakthrough. Once he gets into a relationship, Clint swore that he would be able to give all sorts of romantic advice to Amos.
However, when he returned to the online chat and sent the message that he was about to reply to the girl just now, he realized that he had been blocked!
Clint's eyes fell on the girl's last question, "If your girlfriend calls you, will you respond immediately?"
It was from half an hour ago...
Clint did not know what to say.
Did he just show her his answer to that question is a 'no'?
Amos's second call was to Harley. He considered it for a minute before finally making the call.
