My Second Husband novel Chapter 89

Clint Zuckerberg went into Amos Granger's office and said immediately, "President Granger, Miss George was scalded."

Amos frowned as he said, "Get the doctor."

"You don't have to do this!" Eudora George looked at them helplessly, "It's not too serious. I just need it to leave it under cold running water and apply some aloe vera gel afterwards."

After that, she went into Amos' lounge alone. There was a restroom inside, where she could run her arm under cold water.

The chicken soup wasn't boiling hot, hence she was not badly burned.

Coming out from the restroom, Eudora heard Amos asking Clint, "How did it happen?"

Clint shook his head and said, "I've no idea. Things had already happened when I saw her. I'll go check it out now."

"There's no need!" Eudora said in a hurry. "It's just an accident. I'm really fine!"

Amos grabbed Eudora's arm and looked at it, then nodded his head.

"Please be more careful next time. You don't have to take the staff elevator. You can use the president's elevator."

"Is that really necessary?" Eudora retorted. Despite saying that, her heart was beaming. Eudora took the president's elevator down. She saw the two young ladies from earlier waiting for her at the main entrance. They apologized to her immediately when they saw her coming out.

Eudora comforted them and said that it was all right. Then, she left.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our president's fiancee is indeed a kind person!"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, why would President Granger fall in love with her?"

As she spoke, Sunnie's mobile phone rang all of a sudden. She saw the caller ID and answered the phone somewhat indifferently, "Yes?"

Wendy Liam said gently on the other side of the phone, "Was the chicken soup delicious? I'll ask them to deliver it to you again if it's delicious."

"You don't have to do this!" Sunnie said in an awkward manner. "Thank you, Miss Liam."

Wendy was startled, then she said, "Would you prefer any other food then?"

"You really don't have to do this anymore!" Sunnie repeated her words.

Wendy said, "Well... What about President Granger? How was his work today?"

"I've no idea!" Sunnie said. "I'm not even working in President Granger's office, and I'm quite busy now by the way. Goodbye!"

After that, she hung up the phone directly.

Wendy was dumbstruck for a moment, and she threw her mobile phone onto the ground all of a sudden.

Considering the fact that Amos promised to go back early in the evening, Eudora went to buy some cooking ingredients after work.

Eudora had cooked a lot of brussels sprouts for him last time. Therefore, she decided to prepare a few sweet dishes today.

She was planning to cook some sweet potato bites, sweet caramelised pork ribs, as well as chocolate lave cake for dessert.

After she was done cooking, Auntie Valerie joked, "I suppose that Sir would fall into a honey jar today."

"What honey jar? Auntie Valerie, please stop laughing at me!" Eudora said.

After that, Eudora went to wash her hands, but her mobile phone rang all of a sudden. She then asked Auntie Valerie to answer the phone call.

"Please help me to answer the phone call."

Auntie Valerie had already hung up the phone when Eudora was back from the washroom. Auntie Valerie stood there, as if she was hesitating to say something.

Eudora paused for a while. She could tell what was going on.

"Is Amos working overtime again? It's okay. I'll wait for him for a while." Eudora said.

"No!" Auntie Valerie said, "Miss Liam fell sick again. President Granger asked us to eat first. He said we don't have to wait for him." Eudora's hands, which were holding a dish, stiffened.

It took some time until she finally put down the plate and said, "Oh, I see. Well... let's eat then!"

Auntie Valerie was a little angry. "Is Miss Liam only pretending to be ill? She's always falling sick whenever you get closer to President Granger..."
