Eudora George was stunned. She didn't understand what Amos Granger meant.
"I didn't eat anything there, as I'd promised to come back to have dinner with you."
A grownup man like Amos was talking to her coquettishly, as if he was a child. Eudora's heart melted with his words.
"I'll prepare it for you." Eudora said.
"Let me help you." Amos said.
Both of them brought the cold dishes into the kitchen together. After heating up the dishes, they sat down and ate together.
However, both of them remained silent when they were eating.
The next morning, Eudora handed over her design blueprint to the person in charge of the competition. She had finally accomplished this huge task, thus she felt very satisfied.
The preliminary round of the selections would start tomorrow.
After that, they would judge the design blueprints publicly on a TV program until they selected the top winner of this competition.
Eudora seldom went to the construction site recently as she was busy preparing for the competition. Now that she was finally free, she followed Christopher Gellert to check out the construction site.
Progress at the construction site was good. The construction of a modern logistics center was estimated to be finished within a few months.
The person in charge of the construction site was asking them a lot of questions, and Eudora was having a discussion with them.
Her mobile phone suddenly rang.
"I'm sorry, I have to answer this." said Eudora as she got up to answer the phone.
An unfamiliar female voice sounded from the other side of the phone, "Are you Miss Eudora George? I'm the person in charge of the design competition. Sorry to disturb you, but the CD you handed over this morning was damaged. We can't play your designed blueprint. Please give us another copy by today. Is that okay?"
Eudora frowned and asked, "How could this be?"
"Sorry, we didn't expect such a thing to happen either. Please do it as soon as possible, as we'll start the selection process tomorrow. You will not be able to take part in this competition anymore if you're late."
Eudora frowned, she felt somewhat uneasy.
"Okay, got it." Eudora replied.
After that, she returned to the construction site absent- mindedly. Seeing her troubled look, Christopher asked, "Who was it?"
"The person in charge of the competition, she called me to say that the CD I handed in this morning was damaged, and they need me to give them another copy." Eudora said.
"Then you'd better go quickly! I can settle everything here." Christopher said.
"It's okay. It doesn't take long to make another copy. Anyway, it's still early." Eudora said. She felt guilty for being distracted from her job recently.
Eudora wasn't in a good condition recently. Although she would pretend as if nothing had happened, her feelings of anxiety could never lie.
"It's okay. There's no need to be polite between the both of us, just go ahead!" Christopher said.
Eudora finally nodded her head and said, "I'll be back right away."
Eudora went to buy a new CD to copy the files from her laptop into the CD.
Just when she was about to get into her car, she felt someone following her. She turned around, meeting the eyes of an old man.
The old man smiled when he saw Eudora looking at him too.
"Young lady, you don't look well. Are you having bad luck recently? Why don't you buy a ?"
