One Night Stand With That Beggar

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.

She knew that he valued her a lot. He would put everything aside and deal with her matters at once whenever she needed him. This time, she was indeed in urgent need of help.

“It’s okay, just tell me what you need! Nothing in this world is more important than you.”

Eudora then said, “Actually, I need some help from that executive of your company, Ivan, the one who danced with Cindy last night. Is he free right now? I’m thinking of letting him take a day off work. Didn’t I give Cindy my tickets to the honeymoon vacation? I need him for the whole plan to work!”

Amos raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t it just an act?”

“Yes, it’s an act! However, the show has now reached its climax! Charlie just ran out to chase after Cindy!”

Hearing her joyous and excited voice, Amos laughed as well.

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Yes, it is! However, I don’t want him to succeed too easily. Otherwise, he’ll take her for granted! That is why I need one of your men.”

“No problem!” Amos nodded.

However, the whole plan sounded overly complex to him. He wouldn’t want to be involved in such a plan.

As he was about to hang up the phone, he said again.

“Honey, I’ve been treating you really well. Please don’t use this plan on me.”

Eudora was puzzled for a moment. Then, she chuckled, “You silly!”

…

After Amos hung up on the call, everyone came back for the meeting one after another. Amos looked at Ivan and said, “You, pack your things now and…”

Ivan was baffled.

“What’s going on? Why is President Granger suddenly asking me to pack my things? Is it because I went out too slowly just now?” he was extremely worried.

“President Granger, I-I can explain.”

“No need to explain! Pack your things up and go to the airport now.”

Ivan was petrified. Was he about to be sent off to a deserted place as punishment?

Although President Granger had never actually done it before, all the presidents in novels were like that. If someone had hurt their family members, they would send the person away to a deserted place.

Ivan was so afraid that he almost cried, “President Granger…”

“What’s wrong? I’m asking you to go on a vacation, is there a problem with that?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Ivan was gradually tearing up, “President Granger, please! I’m willing to be demoted, I can start all over again. Please don’t send me off to a deserted place!”

Amos was lost for words.

“Huh? What deserted place? Come on, you’re a high executive of a company, you shouldn’t spend so much time reading those weird office romance novels!”

Ivan was confused.

“Then, why do I need to go to the airport?”

“There’s a task for you. Clint will tell you about the details later. Hurry up and pack your things!”

“Okay!” Ivan became spirited right away. He walked towards the exit. After a few steps, he realized that something was odd. “Wait, how does President Granger know about the novels?” he thought to himself.

Everyone else had the same question in mind. They gazed at Amos curiously in the conference room.

Amos let out a cough, “What’s the matter? Eudora loves to read those novels, is there a problem with that?”

“There’s no problem, not at all!”

…

Charlie encountered heavy traffic congestion while he was on his way to the airport. By the time he had arrived, an hour had already passed.

Fortunately, the plane hadn’t started boarding yet, which meant that Cindy was still somewhere around the airport.

He walked around the airport searching for her. Finally, he saw Cindy sitting on a bench outside the security checkpoint.

He was delighted to see her. Just when he was about to go over, he saw a man walking towards Cindy and started talking to her.

It was the man who danced with Cindy the night before. Charlie remembered that Eudora mentioned he was an executive in Amos’s company.

Charlie frowned and stood where he was.

Cindy was also surprised. She hadn’t expected to meet someone familiar at the airport.

The man, Ivan, was quite friendly. They had become acquainted with each other after the first dance.

After greeting each other, they found out that they were both heading to the same destination. It would be nice to have a traveling companion as both of them wouldn’t grow lonely.

After chatting for a short while, Cindy lowered her head and kept silent. Ivan, who was beside her, however, continued talking.

Initially, Cindy had been feeling rather gloomy, but after talking to him, she actually felt a little better!

When Ivan saw the happy look on her face, he complimented her.

“You look really beautiful when you smile!”
