One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora burst into laughter while saying, “Nonsense! He won’t do that.”

“Won’t he? I think he is expressing his envy for Clint, who has a wife that sends him lunch.”

Eudora was speechless. She then replied, “When he gets back later, I’ll tell him what you have commented on him.”

“Madam, please don’t tell him. I’m afraid that he will glare at me.”

“Then, don’t make fun of him! He’s really fierce.”

…

At the same time, Amos was still upset after hanging up the phone.

He wondered why Eudora failed to understand him anymore. He was so exasperated that he decided to ignore her for a while.

Consequently, he directly turned off his mobile phone.

When Eudora came back to her senses and wanted to apologize to him, her call would not get through. In this way, the seriousness of the situation would dawn on her.

Five minutes later, he picked up his mobile phone again.

“Wait, if that’s the case, I won’t know if she calls me. Maybe it’s better to turn on my phone.”

Therefore, he turned it back on.

However, even after his phone was turned on, not a single phone call came through at all.

He couldn’t help but mutter, “Could it be that my telephone bill is overdue?”

Archer, the secretary, happened to come into his office and heard his whisper, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Archer was in charge of Amos’s daily matters. Failing to renew his telephone bills in time was a terrible blunder in work.

Archer trembled in fear, “Sir, please don’t be angry. I’ll go and settle the telephone bill immediately!”

Before Amos could say anything, Archer had already run out.

A moment later, Archer came back.

“Mr. Granger, your bills are not overdue. However, just to make sure, I’ve topped up another 10, 000 dollars into your mobile phone credits. Now, there is 19, 500 dollars in it. Is there anything else you need me to do?”

Amos couldn’t stand it anymore.

He pondered the reason why there were still no incoming calls in spite of such an amount of credits.

“There’s something wrong with this telecommunications provider.”

Archer, nonplussed by his odd comment, asked, “What?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

…

Clint came back like a dog with two tails after he had finished his meal and taken his medicine. He went to see if Amos had eaten his meal.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Amos’s office, he saw Archer standing there, looking dazed.

“What’s wrong?”

Clint was in a good mood hence he asked that question.

Archer grabbed Clint’s arm right away as if he was the last glimmer of hope.

“Assistant Zuckerberg, help me!”

“What’s going on? Is President Granger unhappy again?”

“It’s not that. He has been behaving strangely today. First, he said that the telephone bill was overdue. Then, he said that there’s something wrong with his mobile service provider. Is he hinting that I should go and investigate the situation of the communication service providers? So, our company is going to make a foray into the communication services market?”

Upon hearing Archer’s words, Clint started laughing his head off.

“It’s not your fault. You’d better hurry up and get back to your work!”

Confused, Archer asked again, “Really? Will President Granger feel that I’ve failed to perform my job well?”

“No, he won’t! He’s just waiting for a call.”

“Is the call important? Which client is it from? I’ll investigate the matter.”

“It’s not a client, but his sweetheart instead. In short, you don’t have to worry about this. Be careful not to gossip about it though, or you will get into trouble!”

Originally, Archer wanted to gossip about the matter, but upon hearing that, the thoughts of doing it were banished at once. Archer quickly turned around and left.

Clint thought about it for a while and decided to keep himself away from Amos for the time being.

Amos was used to display his affection for Eudora in front of Clint. Thus, he felt content to watch Amos suffer from jealousy.

However, he had miscalculated how angry Amos would be.

In the afternoon, Clint went into the office to report on his work in high spirits. Just as he opened the door, he could not help but shiver.

It was incredibly cold inside. He looked at the remote control of the air conditioner and found that the temperature had been set to 16°C.

“Sir, the temperature is too low. Aren’t you cold?”

Amos stayed still, only staring at the phone all the time. Upon hearing Clint’s words, he uttered two words without looking at him.

“Get out!”

Clint was scared by his temper.

Clint really did not dare to go in again. After running out, he decided to make a call to ask for help.

…

Eudora was preparing some desserts.

Initially, she was reluctant to make some.

However, even Cindy could see that Amos wanted her attention, let alone her.

Therefore, she didn’t take a nap at noon, and she kept herself busy by preparing several desserts for him. She thought that he could come back and eat them when he got off work.

She washed her hands and was ready to pack up the desserts when Cindy came into the kitchen with her mobile phone.

“Madam, Assistant Zuckerberg is looking for you.”

Eudora became curious and asked, “Clint? Why is he looking for me at this time?”

As soon as she took over the phone, she heard Clint crying out.

“Madam, help!”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s my fault!” Clint first admitted his mistake, and then explained what happened at noon.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just showing off. I didn’t expect that President Granger would be so pet…”

What he wanted to say was ‘petty’, but he suddenly held back.

“Now that he is in a state of agitation, you’re the only one who can pacify him.”

Eudora was dumbfounded. She could imagine that Amos’s lips must be tightly pursed at that moment, and he must be sitting morosely in his chair.

What a childish man!

“Alright, I got it. I’ll head over immediately!”

Cindy laughed out loud and said, “Madam, this is all happening as I’ve expected.”

“Stop laughing! Hurry up and bring me the lunchbox. I need to pack them up.”

“Okay!” said Cindy. After that, she went to get the lunchbox while still laughing.

…

There were people standing outside the entrance of Valiant East.

Clint had been standing there with an umbrella in his hand for almost half an hour. Next to him were the leaders of various departments, who were all sweating under the sun.

They had all been driven out by Amos, and they couldn’t stop talking among each other to figure out a solution.

“Assistant Zuckerberg, you’re our only hope. I don’t have the guts to go in now.”

“It’s useless to rely on me. Don’t you see that I’ve also been kicked out?”

“Then, what should we do?”

“We should look for Mrs. Granger. Have you all forgotten? Only she can placate President Granger when he is furious.”

“Yes, but where is she? Hurry up and beg her to help us!”

“If she doesn’t come, I will personally invite her to come here!”

“I’ll go with you!”

Seeing a modest black car stop by the entrance, Clint hurriedly waved his hand to call the security guard.

“Quick, open the gate!”

As soon as the security guard opened it, Clint rushed forward hastily and put up the umbrella for Eudora.

“Madam, you’re finally here!”

Before she could react after getting out of the car, she was surrounded by a group of seniors, who were all smiling hospitably at her.

“Madam, you look great today!”

“You’re beautiful!”

“Madam, are you thirsty? I’m going to prepare a drink for you!”

Eudora was filled with confusion as she asked, “Have I come to the wrong place? Why are you guys so enthusiastic and friendly?”

It had not been easy for her to get along with them when she had been the leader of the company back then.

“You haven’t come to the wrong place. It’s our fault that we used to be ignorant. Indeed, you’re incredibly talented and exceptional.”

To be able to mollify Amos, she was truly one of a kind!
