For the first time in her life, Eudora felt that she wasn’t being a good citizen. She frowned and felt an urge to retreat.
Leslie smiled and looked at Eudora. "Miss Eudora, don't you want to go in and have a look?"
In fact, Leslie had been trying to mock Eudora from the very start. After all, Eudora was the apple of Tyler's eye. Tyler had said in front of him repeatedly that he would give the entire Holt family's properties to her in the future.
Even though he felt that the lady standing in front of him was a good person, she might not necessarily be an expert in managing the Holt Family.
If she looked like a good person at first sight, then others would not be intimidated by her, and it would be unlikely for her to control them at all.
That was why he was trying to test Eudora.
Eudora pursed her lips. Although she was not a bad person, she was not a fool. She understood the underlying meaning of Leslie's words.
Since Tyler had given her such a task, she couldn't possibly disappoint Tyler's 'arrangements' for her, could she?
She smirked and said sarcastically.
"Are you one of the Holt's? Do I need you to teach me what to do?"
Leslie suddenly fell silent and grew serious. "I'm not..."
"Cut the cr*p. Didn't you say that you were going to take me in for a look?"
"Alright, come on in then!" Leslie composed himself and quickly led Eudora into the office.
There were quite a few customers in the building even though it was still broad daylight. Many of them were smoking in front of the table.
Eudora frowned and quickly walked over.
Leslie led her around and introduced everyone to her with a smile.
"Miss Eudora, the Holt Family is in charge of tons of places like this. This is the very first branch we opened, and we do not have any manager here for the time being. I'm looking after it in the meantime, but we usually have an assistant here."
Leslie waved his hand, and a man in his twenties ran over.
"Mr. Clarke."
Leslie pointed at Eudora. "This is Miss Eudora Holt. She will be taking care of this place from now on!"
"Miss Eudora, this is Raymond."
Eudora didn’t know him, but he looked just like a thug. His eyes rolled when he heard that Eudora was going to take over this place in the future.
He looked at Leslie, his tone a tad harsh. "Mr. Clarke, are you kidding? How could a woman possibly manage such a place?"
Leslie whispered to him.
"Raymond, watch your mouth."
Raymond was still unhappy. "Mr. Clarke, didn't you always say that the company would prioritize the person's ability and not their status? Although the lady here is of noble blood, we still need to know her ability first if she wants to lead us."
Leslie frowned. "Watch what you say!"
All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall.
A waiter ran toward them with sweat all over his head.
"Raymond, Mr. Clarke. A customer is arguing with the dealer over there!"
Leslie subconsciously wanted to go and have a look. However, Raymond grabbed him and said, "Mr. Clarke, isn't Miss Eudora here? It's none of your business!"
Mr. Clarke gritted his teeth and said, "You must be out of your mind!"
