One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos Granger’s hands were clenched into fists. He wanted to walk forward. However, he suddenly remembered what she said before she left, ‘Thank you.’

Was she thanking him for letting her go?

All of a sudden, his mobile phone rang. Auntie Agnes said, “Sir, Miss Liam…”

Christopher Gellert closed the car door before Auntie Agnes finished speaking.

Amos watched as Christopher drove his girlfriend away. However, Auntie Agnes was still nagging on the phone. All of sudden, he threw his mobile phone to the ground.

It was finally quiet now…

…

Christopher turned on the heater in his car. Eudora George felt more comfortable after getting into his car.

“Let me send you to the hospital first!” Christopher said.

“It’s okay. It’s just a minor injury.” Eudora said.

Seeing that Eudora was reluctant to go to the hospital, Christopher nodded his head and said, “Okay, let’s go to my house then. I have a first aid kit in my house.”

“No!” Eudora rejected him immediately. “I’ve already caused you a lot of trouble. How can I stay in your house?”

Christopher frowned and said, “It seems that you still don’t treat me as your friend.”

Eudora joked, “I really don’t dare to treat you as a friend. You are my boss!”

Christopher had no choice but to ask her, “Where do you want to go then?”

Eudora said, “Can you lend me some money? I’ll return it to you after getting my salary.”

Christopher said, “You don’t have to pay me back!” Then, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Eudora.

He continued, “The password is the last six digits of my phone number. You can use this card!”

Eudora didn’t want to borrow so much money from him. However, she had no choice. She promised that she would pay him back the money once she received her salary.

Christopher sent Eudora to a hotel.

He left after bringing Eudora to the hotel room.

Unexpectedly, Christopher came back after Eudora took her shower.

He was holding a first aid kit and some clothes. He said, “I don’t know what type of clothes you like. So, I just simply chose one. After all, you have to wear some clothes to work tomorrow. The first aid kit is for the wounds on your feet. Please remember to apply the medication.”

Eudora was touched. She did not have any other feelings towards Christopher. All she felt was gratitude.

“Thank you, I will definitely pay you back once I get my salary.”

Christopher frowned and hesitated before asking.

“What happened between you and Amos? Did you break up with him?”

Eudora pursed her lips and said, “I don’t want to talk about this now, is that okay?”

Christopher took a deep breath and said, “Ah, forget it then. Please rest well. I’m going back now. Please don’t come to the office if you haven’t recovered yet.”

“I can go to work!” Eudora said immediately. She needed money. How could she not go to work?

“I really can go to work. But I’ll come in an hour late because I have to buy a new laptop first.”

Christopher nodded his head and said, “Okay!”

Eudora applied some medicine on her feet after Christopher left. Then, she lay down on the bed.

The bed in the hotel was really big. Eudora was not used to sleeping alone on a big bed.

She smiled bitterly. She thought that it was a terrible feeling to get used to being lonely.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Eudora woke up early the next morning.

After getting ready in the morning, she went to buy a laptop. The laptop that she had been using belonged to Amos. Fortunately, she had already submitted all the design drafts on the laptop.

After buying a new laptop, Eudora went straight to office.

She heard her colleagues discussing something when she just walked in.

“It’s all over. Valiant East stopped collaborating with us. Do you think we can still manage the project?”

“I think it’s impossible. We could only get the project if we collaborate with Valiant East.”

Eudora frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Her colleague, who went with them for the bidding, said, “The staff from Valiant East came early in the morning. They went into President Gellert’s office. I heard that they want to stop collaborating with our company when I passed by President Gellert’s office earlier.”

The staff from Valiant East walked out when they were still talking about it.

Eudora hurried over and asked, “What’s wrong, President Gellert?”

Christopher shook his head and said to the secretary, “Please send them out.”

Christopher spoke up after the staff from Valiant East had left, “All of you are right. Valiant East has decided to stop working with us for this project.”

“Oh my God!” Everyone was so shocked. The team’s morale hit rock bottom.

“How can they be like this? They have signed a contract with us. Are they playing with us? Aren’t they afraid of the penalty?”

“Valiant East is a wealthy company. Do they need to be afraid?”

“Alright, you’ve won…”

Then, Christopher walked to his office without saying anything.

Eudora caught up immediately, “President Gellert, I’m sorry.”

“Why do you have to apologize to me?” Christopher smiled. He said, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“Really?” Eudora smiled bitterly and said, “I know him. You don’t need to defend for me.”

Amos did the same thing in the past as well. He just wanted to seek vengeance on her. Perhaps he was waiting for her to beg him as well.

Christopher stood up while she was still deep in her thoughts.

“Let’s not talk about this now. No one knows Valiant East has broken the contract. Let’s try to secure the deal anyway.” He said calmly.

“Okay!” Eudora nodded her head and responded. Then, she took out the card from her pocket and handed it to Christopher.

She said, “I want to return the card to you. I spent about a thousand dollars in total.”

Christopher said, “Okay.”

“Also…” Eudora was a little embarrassed. She said, “Can I pay you back by instalments?” She didn’t even know how much her salary was.

“It’s up to you!” Christopher said.

After that, Eudora and Christopher decided to head to the project’s main office to try to secure the deal.

Eudora tried to draw the design blueprints when she was on the plane. She needed to try her best to fight for it. After all, it was because of her that Valiant East stopped collaborating with her company.

After getting off the plane, both of them hurried to the office.

Christopher, who was walking behind Eudora, shouted, “Please wait for a while.”

Eudora was stunned. Christopher reached out his hand to take off the fallen leaf on her shoulder.

He said as he smiled, “Please slow down, it’s fine.”

Eudora nodded her head and smiled. She asked, “How do I look? Is this okay?”

…

Amos had just arrived at the office as well. He saw Eudora and Christopher standing at the main entrance of the office.

Christopher reached out to hold her shoulder gently. Eudora was smiling at him.

Amos felt a lump in his throat. He frowned.

Clint Zuckerberg said, “President Granger, we’re here.”

Amos finally came back to his senses. He opened the car down and got out of the car.

Christopher pulled Eudora to stand behind him when he saw Amos. He said, “President Granger, I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s my pleasure.”

Amos sneered without looking at Eudora,

“I was wondering why haven’t Everpeace achieve anything yet after such a long time. It turns out that President Gellert is not paying attention to his work at all. He’s busy dating the designer of the company!”
