Upstairs, Eudora began working on her design model as soon she turned on her laptop.
At this moment, she noticed a message in her email. She hadn't used the laptop for a long time, hence she didn't know when the message was sent.
She clicked on it and found that it was sent four days ago!
The sender would have been extremely anxious if the matter was urgent, wouldn't they?
Eudora looked at the sender's name. After glancing at it, she immediately grew excited. She couldn't believe that it came from the TAG Group!
TAG Group had contacted her, saying that they were ready to build a resort town in the country and that they wanted her to be the chief designer. They said that they had seen her show as well as some of her designs in Italy before. They also mentioned that her designs were very fairytale-like, which was very in line with their theme.
Eudora was so happy that she almost danced in her seat.
She jumped up from her seat in excitement.
However, in the next second, a tall figure held her down tightly.
"Eudora..."
The man's voice was hoarse, clearly shocked that his heart had almost jumped up into his throat. She was already four months pregnant, yet she was still jumping up and down like that!
Eudora was so excited that she didn't even care about Amos being angry. She kept saying to him, "Look at the email! It was sent by TAG Group. They asked me to be their designer!"
Amos took a glance at the email. TAG Group?
He recalled what Clint had told him earlier that afternoon. Was it all just a coincidence?
However, it was not the time to worry about this. He pressed Eudora's shoulders, forcing her to sit.
"It seems that I have to get you a seat belt in case you jump up from your seat again."
Eudora pouted, "Are you worried about me or our child? I'm so jealous that you're already so worried about our kid!"
She protested indignantly while Amos sighed helplessly.
"Nonsense. He is just a lump of mass. If it is injured, who will be the one suffering then?"
Of course, Eudora knew that Amos was on her side. She had said those words deliberately. She had recently discovered that Amos was quite adorable when he was helpless.
Nevertheless, he was amused by her playfulness.
Eudora replied to the email quickly. First, she apologized and explained that she hadn't been online for the past few days due to personal reasons. Then, she asked the other party about their current arrangements. Eudora felt a little regretful after replying to the email.
She whined, "If I had known this earlier, I would have logged onto the Internet a few days ago. It's TAG Group, how rare is this opportunity! If I miss it, I'd regret it for a lifetime!"
Amos pursed his lips. "You're not in any condition to take on a project as big as this one. Even if it's TAG Group, I'll contact them only after you give birth to our child."
"No!" Eudora refused. Her stubbornness rose again.
She looked at Amos seriously, "Am I that useless in your eyes? Other women have to go to work and raise their children at the same time. You, on the other hand, have treated me as though I am a disabled person ever since I became pregnant when in fact, I could handle it. My body is not as weak as you think it is. I don't want to rely on you for the rest of my life, and I want to have my own career too. Amos, are you willing to listen to my thoughts and opinions?"
They hadn't had such a serious discussion in a long while.
Amos frowned, "Do you really want to do it?"
"Of course, TAG Group is a legend in the industry. Those who had designed for TAG Group in the past eventually became world- renowned designers. I don't want to give up this opportunity! Amos, pretty please?" Eudora pleaded.
Amos sighed and he looked at the furry head on his chest.
"Since you've used both the carrot-and-stick, could I still say no?"
