It looked just like an ordinary box and there was nothing special about it.
Charlie hesitated. Since Cindy had already gone off with another man, there was no point in him opening the box. In the end, he couldn't control his curiosity and opened it.
After he opened the box, he was stunned.
There was a smaller box lying inside, which contained a pair of couple rings.
The subordinate stared at the rings, "Wait, are these rings from 'Only One'?"
Charlie looked at him curiously, "What?"
"This is from 'Only One', a jewelry brand! I heard that couples can only order a set of these custom-made rings once in their lifetime, and that's why it's called 'Only One'!"
After that, he gave Charlie the side-eye and asked, "Boss, this is..."
Charlie did not answer him but he suddenly remembered that Cindy had once mentioned about it.
That time, when they had gone out together, he hadn't been paying attention when Cindy had asked him about the rings.
She had asked, "Should we order a pair?"
He had simply answered, "Whatever!"
He hadn't expected her to actually order them!
As he was thinking, the subordinate spoke again.
"Wow, your room is really messy! Wasn't your room always the tidiest? I guess, without Cindy around here, you're the same as the rest of us!"
His words pierced right through his heart, making him feel annoyed.
"Get out!"
The subordinate hurriedly went out.
Charlie took out a ring and looked at it. When he was about to put it back, he noticed that a few words were engraved on the ring.
He took a closer look at the words. Then, he was dumbstruck.
The next second, he got up and rushed out immediately.
At the entrance, Eudora was trimming the flowerbed in the yard. Charlie was running quickly as he passed by her side.
He almost hit her.
However, he did not stop. He yelled, "Sorry, Mrs.
Granger. I'm taking a leave!"
Eudora's lips curled into a smile as she thought, "Young man, do you finally regret not confessing to Cindy now?"
Sure enough, he was chasing after Cindy as expected.
"But, Cindy would feel happy about it, right?" Thinking of it, Eudora felt that all the hassle was worth it after all!
However, Eudora had another plan in mind.
"I can't just let him succeed so easily!"
Eudora instantly went inside to give Amos a call.
Amos was in the middle of a meeting when his phone rang. After seeing that it was a call from Eudora, he immediately picked it up. Eudora's cute voice could be heard as soon as the call was connected.
"Hubby..."
The whole conference room went silent. Everyone sat up straight, kept quiet and pretended to be unable to hear their conversation.
After all, everyone was already used to the two of them being so mushy and loving in public!
Amos ignored them. He answered the phone with a soft voice.
He answered the phone with a soft voice, "What's
wrong?"
Eudora was sharp enough to sense that something wasn't quite right.
So, she asked, "Can you talk right now? I have something to tell you."
Then, everyone in the conference room stood up before Amos even said anything and said, "President Granger, we'll go out for some fresh air!"
In a few seconds, the meeting room was completely empty!
"Alright, I can talk now!" Amos said.
"I'm sorry, I must have interrupted your work," Eudora was a little embarrassed. She rarely called Amos during working hours.
