Eudora silently swore in her mind. She couldn't possibly leave at such a critical time.
However, the project Clint mentioned was significant as well. The employees of the company had worked together for several months to win the deal.
If everything got ruined because of a signature, she would not be able to bring herself to explain it to the employees who had worked hard for it.
Eudora grabbed a nurse by her side.
She asked, "How long will it take to remove the bandages?"
The nurse looked at the time and said, "It'll take more than an hour! It won't be that fast."
Eudora nodded and calculated the time in her mind.
If she acted quickly, she could make it back in time!
She quickly told Clint, "Get everything ready. I'll head over there now!"
After that, Eudora took another look at the door of the ward and turned to leave.
Along the way, Eudora was urging the driver, "Hurry! Can you drive a little faster?"
The driver was dumbfounded, "Mrs. Granger, I'm going as fast as I can! If we were to go any faster, we would get in trouble! Also, we are already going at an incredibly high speed!"
Eudora let out an exasperated sigh. Fortunately, they arrived at the company within twenty minutes.
As soon as she entered the door, Eudora shouted at Clint.
"Where's the contract? Bring it over!"
Clint had an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry, Mrs. Granger. The contract was ready, but before you arrived, I checked again and found some mistakes. The secretary is making the changes as we speak. Please wait for another 15 minutes!"
Eudora looked at the time and felt unhappy.
However, Clint seldom made mistakes in his work. It was his first mistake, so she could not say anything else. All she could do was to hold it in.
About 15 minutes later, the secretary finally handed her the contract.
Eudora looked at it and signed it quickly after making sure there were not any problems with it.
"Alright, you can handle the company's matters first. I still have something urgent to deal with. I'll get going right away!"
As soon as she arrived at the door, Archer came in from outside.
"Miss George, Miss Malone is here!"
Elaine?
Although Eudora was a little annoyed, Elaine was still her business partner. She held herself back and said, "Let her in!"
Last night, Eudora had overheard the conversation between Elaine and Amos. Naturally, she was aware about Elaine's thoughts towards Amos.
Truth be told, she should have realized it a long time ago.
After all, when Amos had still been living as Sawyer, he had been Elaine's neighbor for quite some time. Elaine had also mentioned Sawyer repeatedly in front of Eudora.
Eudora trusted Amos and understood that it had all been part of Elaine's wishful thinking.
After the two met, they chatted for a while.
Then, Elaine said, "Judging from your face, the two of you didn't quarrel! I really envy how much the two of you trust each other!"
Eudora smiled faintly, "Thank you. He's a trustworthy man. However, I wonder why you're here..."
"Oh, don't misunderstand me! I'm not here to provoke you! Although I'm not the kind of person who's willing to admit defeat, I'm not a person who likes to pester others either. Since I've already been rejected, I won't pull any stunts behind your back. The purpose of my visit is due to the charity project we've worked on before. Albert sent me a letter, so I came here to show it to you!"
Eudora remembered Katie and her mother.
Although she had ordered someone to keep in touch with them, she had been so busy lately that she did not have the time to find out more about them!
With that thought in mind, she took the envelope and opened it.
