Judging from the situation, it seemed that the two of them must have quarreled. Amos, who was known to attach great importance to relationships, wouldn't have the time to interfere with them this time around.
Only he and Bethany would be left to fight the next day. Steven was not worried that Bethany had received the support of those old men in the company. After all, those old men valued profit above all else.
He would be able to bring a continuous flow of reputation and profits to the company if he could secure the collaboration with TAG Group.
Those old men could then clearly discern who would be the better fit between the two of them.
Thinking of this, Steven couldn't help but ask, "Kesha, did you say that TAG Group could only get the contract signed with us tomorrow afternoon?"
"That's right!" Kesha replied.
She was extremely delighted. Truth be told, she had only managed to accomplish the mission thanks to her good sister, Eudora, this time.
The other party was looking for Eudora in the beginning. However, Eudora had been missing in action lately, hence they contacted her instead. After all, everyone knew that she was Eudora's biological younger sister! Everything then happened naturally. The meeting she had with the other party went on smoothly and she eventually won their trust. After all, her innate ability to interact with men was just that formidable.
After that, they made an appointment to sign the contract the next afternoon.
Kesha believed that the other party would not renege on their offer. After all, the other party did mention that the project was very urgent. They had been keeping in touch with Eudora ever since she worked on that amusement park project with Steven. Coupled with the fact that a big company like Valiant East was supporting them, Kesha had full confidence in a successful collaboration.
Steven, on the other hand, was a little anxious. He asked, "Could we sign the contract today instead?"
The longer it was delayed, the more trouble could arise.
Kesha furrowed her eyebrows, replying, "You don't seem to understand. These foreigners are very rigid in their ways of doing things. It's a holiday in their country, hence they are not working today. It's useless for me to contact them now. Don't worry, we will definitely win the project. You'll attend the meeting tomorrow morning and we'll sign the contract in the afternoon, okay?"
Steven nodded. "Okay then."
After that, Eudora reached out and touched Steven's chest again. She asked, "I heard that the doctor in the hospital was taken away by you. Good thinking this time, Steven." Steven once again pressed Kesha under his body, answering, "Well, I did learn it from the best. I couldn't possibly stay so ignorant especially when you're so clever."
Soon after that, they resumed their activities, filling the room with intimacy.
Eudora had slept through the afternoon, hence she was completely awake in the night.
She became unusually attentive. When Amos was having his meal, she rushed to help him with his cutlery. She then hurried to follow him around after he was done with his meal.
Amos could already guess that she was planning to head out to exercise or do something of the sort, thus he held back and said nothing.
Eudora seemed immersed in her thoughts moments later and she almost fell after knocking into him. Amos was startled, and he immediately helped her to sit on the couch.
"Eudora, what are you trying to do?"
Eudora looked at him in surprise and asked, "Was it that obvious?"
How could he not know? Her every thought and emotion was written all over her face.
"You can't go out to exercise. It's already too late now. It's fine if you feel like taking a walk."
"No, no!" Eudora waved her hand hurriedly, saying, "I'm very well-behaved!"
Charlie and the rest were speechless as they looked at the mess in the room and the white lilies in the garden. Who was she kidding?
Amos didn't expose her. He just responded to her with a faint 'hm1.
Eudora spoke again, "Well, actually, I did tell you this earlier, didn't I? I want to think of a way to redecorate this room myself!"
Amos nodded and replied, "Well, just ask Charlie if you need to buy anything."
"I don't care much about buying stuff. I want to redesign it. I want to draw a blueprint, but you've already put my laptop away..."
Her voice became weaker as she spoke, but there was still a hint of a small protest.
Amos frowned immediately and rejected, "No! The laptop has radiation coming from it. You can't have it back!"
"I'll just use it for a while, and I've already checked it online. Radiation from a laptop isn't very high! Besides, I'm not playing games or anything on it I'll be working," Eudora explained.
