My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 198

Eudora was stunned. "Can't you just make an exemption this time? I'm not even an official employee of

Valiant East!"

"No, I can't!" Amos replied mercilessly, his tone firm.

"Rules are rules. If I break the rules for you, everyone will bring their children to work in the future. How

should I deal with it then?"

In fact, what Amos said was reasonable, and Eudora suddenly felt embarrassed.

"However!" Amos changed the matter of subject swiftly, "I can."

"Oh?" Eudora was confused.

"I am the President. If I take my child with me, no one can say anything!"

"Well..." Eudora became even more nervous. "Forget it!"

"That's settled!" After Amos finished speaking, he immediately took Juju out. He didn't even give

Eudora any chance to refute at all.

Eudora was stunned for a moment and then hurried to catch up with him.

Auntie Valerie looked at this scene with a smile as she watched them leave. Going to work as a family

was surely a step in the right direction.

That morning, the lobby of Valiant East was crowded and bustling as usual.

All of a sudden, someone shouted, "The President is coming!"

The people who were chatting quickly quieted down and returned to their seats. Those who couldn't

return to their seats in time pretended like they were busy working.

The receptionist hurriedly stood up and waited for Amos to come in to offer him the brightest smile of

the day.

A figure came closer and closer, and the receptionist quickly greeted, "Hello, Mr. Granger..."

As soon as she finished her words, her eyes fell on the child in Amos' arms, and the words got stuck in

her mouth.

Oh gosh, what exactly did she see?

President Granger had actually brought a child with him, moreover, the child was sitting in his arms. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Whose child was she?

While she was thinking, the child in his arm suddenly moved and sneezed directly into Amos' chest.

The receptionist quickly took a wet towel and was about to rush over.

After all, President Granger stressed on hygiene and cleanliness all the time. He even required the

company to place wet towels and cleaning materials wherever there were people, in order to keep the

best spirit and morale at all times.

Unexpectedly, Amos didn't care about the sneeze at all and held the child's face in his palms. Then he

touched her head worriedly and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"

The child in his arms shook his head, and Amos immediately smiled.

It was not an illusion! The President just smiled!

The employees who saw the scene all gaped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief. Goodness, they

had been working in the company for so many years and it turned out that President Granger actually

had the capability to smile. They saw it for themselves for the very first time.

Furthermore, his smile was adoring and tender.

So, whose kid was that?

At the same time, someone pulled Eudora aside and asked, "You came in after President Granger, did

you see any woman?"

Eudora was stunned. "What woman?"

Since she didn't want to be associated with Amos, she deliberately waited for a few minutes before

entering the building.

"Was there a woman in the car along with President Granger when he came? If there was, she has to

be the kid's mother!"

Eudora was speechless.

She thought to herself, "Fortunately, I was quickwitted just now."

She shook her head hurriedly, "I didn't see anyone."

"Are you sure? It's a pity. Do you think the child really belongs to President Granger?" "I think so. I

noticed just now that the child looked exactly like him. It must be his. People say that daughters usually

looked like their fathers. I think they are right."

Eudora's whole body froze. "Do they really look alike?"

"Yeah!"

After that, Eudora's mind drifted away. She couldn't seem to hear whatever they said after that. She

was the one who took care of Juju every day, however, she did not notice whether Juju looked like

Amos or not.

"Do they really look alike?"

When she was still lost in her thoughts, Amos came over. He slowly walked toward Eudora with Juju in

his arms. Eudora's heart skipped a beat as she said, "President Granger, do you need anything?"

Amos narrowed his eyes and decided to play along with her.

"Yes! I have a problem with the case. Come with

me.

It was not until then that Eudora let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

She hastened her pace and followed behind him. When they were inside the elevator, Amos said, "Juju

is still reluctant to be separated from you. You don't have to go to the construction site today. After the

meeting, you can work in my office."

Eudora wanted to tell him that she didn't think it was a good idea.

However, when she saw the expectant look in Juju's eyes, she couldn't bear to say it out loud.

In fact, she had been blaming herself for all this while. If it weren't for her, maybe Juju wouldn't have

ended up like this. She did not protect her well enough.

"Alright!" Eudora eventually agreed.

After Eudora finished speaking, she told Juju softly, "I'll see you after I'm done with the meeting!"

Obviously, Juju was a little resistant, but Amos said, "Don't worry Juju. Uncle will read your favorite

storybook with you."

That immediately caught her attention and Juju cooed at him happily without any hesitation. Eudora

was speechless.

She had been taking care of Juju for so many years, and she immediately lost her daughter to Amos all

for a storybook. Weirdly, it made her feel like perhaps she wasn't Juju's real mommy after all!

As soon as Amos brought Juju into his office, Clint pushed the door open and walked inside.

"President Granger, today's trip is..." Before he could finish his words, he looked at the little girl sitting

on the couch in astonishment. "Is this... Juju?"

Juju didn't have any impression of Clint, so she was still a little scared when she saw him.

Amos said in a hurry, "Stay right there. Don't come into my office today. Just text me if you have any

problems."

Clint did not know what to say. After having been by Amos' side for quite a long time, everyone had

regarded him as a young and promising man. But today, he didn't even have a chance to show his

handsome face.

He felt that he was a little pitiful at that instant.

However, Clint did not dare to disobey Amos' orders, so he had no choice but to turn around and head

out, disappointment visible on his face. Then, he took out his mobile phone and promptly texted Amos

his schedule.

True to what Amos had said, Eudora's meeting was to discuss about the project that she had taken on.

After that, Anya Astor proposed, "Why don't we go to the construction site? Although it's still just a

piece of land over there, we might get better ideas after seeing the place for ourselves."

Eudora was indeed a little tempted. Moreover, she was thinking that the sooner she finished her work,

the sooner she could leave Amos.

She nodded in agreement., "Then I'll go and grab my things! We'll make a quick visit."

"Alright!" Anya nodded.

In reality, Eudora did not grab her things. After leaving the meeting room, she ran to Amos' office and

peeped quietly. She saw that Juju was reading a book with Amos, so Juju probably would not be

looking for her for a while. Eudora breathed a sigh of relief and she left with Anya to visit the site.

Just as Eudora left, Amos and Juju finished reading the book. However, he realized that Eudora had

not come back.

Amos was starting to get busy. Fortunately, Juju grabbed an ornament that she found in his office and

began to play with it.

Amos left her alone to play and dived into work.

However, everyone who entered his office couldn't help but take a closer look at Juju. Each of them

muttered to themselves, "They look so much alike. This must be his kid, right?"
