Amos was originally in the mood to watch people praise Eudora nonstop for her achievement. He didn't expect her to give him a warm embrace.
He paused for a moment before reaching out to stroke her back.
"What's going on?"
The people beside them were all staring widemouthed at them. They whispered, "What's going on? Are President Granger and Miss George displaying their affection publicly?
"But there is no such instruction in the planned procedure, is there?"
Harley was the first to react. He whistled with his fingers.
Then, the others on the scene finally came to their senses and clapped their hands together!
In the applause, Eudora suddenly approached Amos' ear and murmured.
"Darling, I don't want to be a strong woman. I just want to be your beloved wife!"
His heart softened and he held her more tightly. "Well, it's up to you! However, we still have to carry out what we've been planning!"
She looked up suspiciously, only to find that the stage lights behind her were switched on! The prearranged procedure had just begun.
Firstly, the manager from every department went up the stage to report the overall performance of their respective department throughout the year. To Eudora's surprise, the company's performance exceeded 130%, which was the figure during the previous year!
It was the best record in the history of Valiant East. She was awestruck and she looked at Amos afterwards.
"You aren't colluding with them to deceive me, are you?"
He shook his head and looked at her with a burning gaze. "You're so great, why would I lie to you?"
"But, that's impossible, isn't it?"
She frowned. She thought that the company would suffer heavy losses in the previous stock market battle! Moreover, Roger had been causing trouble for their company.
Therefore, the company should suffer a great loss! How could it recover from that in such a short period of time?
"Why not?" Amos replied with a question.
"In fact, the monthly report of the company has already shown everything! You should believe in yourself."
Indeed, the monthly report had explained everything, but she was still flabbergasted when it was pointed out!
While she was thinking of it, one of the shareholders, Nick Lance, also went up to the stage to talk!
Nick always disliked Eudora. He compromised the last time because he had no other choice. Later, she stopped them from going to the company, then only were their bad ideas removed from sight!
However, they were scheming against Eudora secretly. They planned to kick her out of the company if the company's performance showed a decline.
Unexpectedly, it had risen so much in such a short time.
They didn't want to drive her out anymore. All they wanted to do now was to ensure that Eudora, who was like a goddess of fortune to them, stayed in the company.
As a result, Nick had been singing all sorts of praises for her during his speech.
He extolled her virtues, including her way of handling things, her working attitude and her
astuteness.
In the end, even Eudora herself was stunned. "Is he talking about me? Why do I feel like he’s talking about an angel?"
Amos looked solemnly at her. "In my heart, you are an angel!"
Harley immediately covered his mouth. "Thea, my teeth are hurting!"
She thought that he really had a toothache, hence she looked at him nervously.
"What's going on? Let me see it. I think I'll bring you to the dentist when we go back later."
Harley looked at his wife speechlessly. "There is some serious public display of affection going on beside us. They are making me sick!"
Thea was speechless.
After a pause, he caressed her belly and said, "My wife, you have become unintelligent as soon as you are pregnant. What should we do in the future? Would our child be a little fool when it's born?"
"Harley!" She reached out and pulled his ear.
"Can't you say something nice? You should learn from Amos."
