Amos Granger shook his head helplessly. If Eudora George was a man, she might be more of a workaholic than he was.
After that, Amos took a book out casually to read. He suddenly felt that he was really relaxed like an old man.
When his phone rang, he opened the door and went out.
It was Clint Zuckerberg. "President Granger, the Second Master really used the funds that we collected. He used the funds to buy some piece of land. After investigating, I found out that the owner of the land was he himself, even though the official legal owner was registered as his wife’s brother." said Clint anxiously.
Harry Granger finally couldn't hold back his greed anymore. Amos smiled faintly. "How about the Cooper family?"
"Jeremy Cooper worked well with Thomas Shelby last time. He was expected to win the deal, but he didn't expect that there would be a competitor. He must be very upset after losing to the Second Master."
"I would be worried if he wasn’t upset!" Amos laughed.
Clint was confused by what Amos said,” What do you mean?” "Nothing. When will they make the deal?" Amos suddenly asked.
"Most likely to be on the day after tomorrow. The venue is the Church of Repayment." replied Clint.
Amos nodded and said, "It’s a great venue.”
After hanging up the phone, Amos looked at his wristwatch. It was already almost forty minutes, but the little woman still had no intention to stop working.
He carried her up from her seat as he frowned.
Eudora was shocked. "Amos, you..."
"It's time for you to rest!" After saying that, he walked towards the bed.
Eudora did not want to rest, because she had been resting in bed for half a month. Her back ached as soon as she saw the bed.
"I don't want to rest. How about I go downstairs to play with Cola? It’s been a while since he last saw me.”
Amos shook his head. "No."
"Why?" Eudora uttered a wail.
“If you don't have a good rest today, how can we go out tomorrow?" Amos said.
"Hmm?" Eudora was stunned. "Are we going out tomorrow?"
"Yeah, aren't you bored?"
"But I..." She rather stayed at home to check the drafts of the design blueprints.
"Have you heard of the Church of Repayment? I heard that the Statue of Jesus there was very ancient. I know you always like to see this kind of art. Don't you want to go and have a look?"
As expected, Eudora suddenly became excited when she heard this.
"Yes! I want to go.."
"Then have a good rest! We'll depart tomorrow morning."
After that, he put the blanket on Eudora and lay down beside her. He had been sleeping on the small bed at the hospital, so he did not really sleep well recently.
They soon fell asleep.
The next day, Eudora George was carried by someone when she was still sleeping. Then, she found herself already in the car after she woke up. The car drove forward slowly as she was lying on Amos' thighs.
Amos was reading a book, and there was a soft sound of paper flipping from time to time.
Eudora closed her eyes and lay down for a little longer to enjoy the coziness . Then, she got up.
The Church of Repayment was not very far away from their house. However, because of the rugged mountain roads, they still took a few hours to reach there.
Just like Amos had mentioned, the Statue of Jesus was indeed an impressive European Sculpture. It gave off a strong sense of historical solemnity since it had been there for a long time.
