Eudora looked at the bearded man in shock. "You know me?"
Callum smiled and replied, "Of course. Who wouldn't know the lady who captured Mr. Nolan's heart? No matter what, we have to get to know you!"
Fabian smiled gently as she saw how embarrassed Eudora was.
"Okay, she's shy! Stop talking nonsense!"
Callum burst out laughing. "Mr. Nolan, you are so caring towards her! Got it, I'll leave now, alright?"
After Callum left, Waldron came. Compared to Callum, he was much more serious. He greeted Fabian and then said a reminder.
"You should go back to work after you're done with your personal affairs. There are a lot of things waiting for you to handle at work!"
Fabian frowned for a moment and then gave a gentle smile, "Alright, understood!"
Eudora scrutinized the man for a while. Clearly, the intellectual Waldron not only despised those crude henchmen, but he was also condescending to Fabian, who had worked hard in the company since he was a young chap!
No wonder families like the Nolan family had difficulties 'laundering' their businesses. The pressure they faced from doing so was immense.
Eudora suddenly understood why Fabian showed interest in her immediately the first time they met.
Although the Holt Family was close to the Nolan family, the Holts did not have roots within the mafia. Hence, they would not underestimate the Nolans, given their power.
If the two families joined forces, Fabian might not be facing such difficulty as he was currently.
Eudora suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of this. What she worried most was to engage in emotional disputes with others. Now, it seemed that she could only ignore them for the benefit of both families!
In the afternoon, Eudora suggested going home.
Fabian had a lot of things to handle, so he didn't stop her.
When she arrived home, Eudora received a call from Tina. "Eudora, did you go on vacation two days ago?"
"Oh," Eudora replied, "Yes, I went to a resort and stayed there for two days."
"Then are you alright?" Tina asked anxiously. "Also, what about Dad? Are you guys all fine?"
The way she spoke piqued Eudora's curiosity. "What's wrong?"
"Err... It's nothing. Just asking! Are all of you really fine?"
Tina said it was nothing but... Yet kept on probing?
"If you won't tell me, then don't ever call me again!" Eudora threatened.
Tina had only just started enjoying the perks of having a sister. How could she give it up so easily? Hence, she hurriedly rephrased.
"Fine, I'll tell you, okay? It's just that... President Granger seems to be injured!"
Eudora was stunned. He was still fine when she last saw him that day. Did something happen after she had fallen asleep?
"How did he get injured?" Eudora asked nervously.
"It's nothing serious. His forehead was scratched by a tree branch. Clint and Doctor Leon said President Granger rushed to the resort in the middle of the night after overhearing that you were injured. He must have driven too fast that night, and his car's windshield was shattered by the tree branch. That was how he got injured. Fortunately, Doctor Leon and the rest arrived in time to treat his wound. But he continued on his journey right after but said he did not see you... So I was thinking, were you hurt too?"
"He said he didn't see me?" Eudora asked.
"Yes, after leaving Doctor Leon that day, Mr. Granger said he came back by himself! Isn't that right?"
