She only realized that Auntie Valerie was already gone after she stopped speaking. She was the only one there performing her act.
After letting out an awkward light cough, she heard Amos' voice coming from behind her.
"Okay. What do you want to change?"
Eudora was speechless.
She was deliberately behaving like a spendthrift. Shouldn't Amos find her annoying and leave her alone?
Eudora made up her mind and said, "I'll change all of the furniture. I'm going out now to buy some stuff."
Amos frowned, "It's very tiring to go shopping. Your body might not be able to take it. Which mall do you want to go to? Shall I ask Clint to search for the website link to those stores instead? You could just buy them online at the comfort of our home."
Eudora was flustered.
Was there such a way?
Her heart was in turmoil, but she still had to pretend to be unruly and headstrong.
"I don't like online shopping. Most of the goods aren't accurate depictions of what they are advertising online. I much prefer paying a visit and seeing it with my own eyes before buying it." "Fair enough!" Amos nodded, "I'll go with you then."
"I don't need your company. Just pay the bill later. I'll go with Juju."
Amos was still anxious. Thus, he said, "No, I'll be worried if you were to go out alone."
"I'll have Charlie to come with me then!"
"Bring Wesley along too then!" Amos finally compromised.
He immediately went to the garden and gave new instructions to Wesley and Charlie.
"Two of you will accompany Eudora to the mall later, and remember what I'm going to say next. Don't allow anyone to get close to her, not more than a meter."
Charlie's heart was already filled with guilt after everything that had happened the day before. However, at this moment, Amos was still willing to entrust him with such important tasks. Hence, he had to do his best.
"Yes, Mr. Granger! Please rest assured!"
"Also, put on this micro-spy camera and send the recordings and images to me from time to time."
Charlie was shocked.
"Mr. Granger, isn't this the new high-tech product that was recently developed by TEM Inc?"
At that time, TEM Inc had announced ambitiously that this camera was prepared for the future of the high-tech industry, and it would be used for very advanced aerospace purposes. Charlie felt that it was ironic that Amos was going to use it to track and observe his wife's location.
Would the TEM Inc engineers find it insulting if they knew that this camera was being so severely underutilized?
"Yes!" Amos answered nonchalantly, "Its recording functionality is still far from perfect. There is still a few seconds of delay."
Charlie was dumbfounded.
Such efficiency of a high-tech product was already a major technological advancement and it would definitely garner wide media attention if it were to be released to the public. Yet, President Granger was still disapproving of it.
Charlie furrowed his brows and felt a little helpless.
"Actually, the Madam has crossed the line a little. Don't you..."
Amos had already given him a cold stare before he could finish his sentence.
"This matter is between me and her only, and I don't want anybody else to intervene. Just mind your own business. You may go now!"
Only after they had left did Amos let out an awkward laugh as he remained at the same spot.
Did that little lady really think that he couldn't read her mind? She was deliberately trying to irritate him. However, how could he be annoyed with her?
In his heart, she would always be the loveliest and most genuine person in his mind no matter whether she was sweet or irrational.
