One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora George was stunned. She didn’t understand what Amos Granger meant.

“I didn’t eat anything there, as I’d promised to come back to have dinner with you.”

A grownup man like Amos was talking to her coquettishly, as if he was a child. Eudora’s heart melted with his words.

“I’ll prepare it for you.” Eudora said.

“Let me help you.” Amos said.

Both of them brought the cold dishes into the kitchen together. After heating up the dishes, they sat down and ate together.

However, both of them remained silent when they were eating.

……

The next morning, Eudora handed over her design blueprint to the person in charge of the competition. She had finally accomplished this huge task, thus she felt very satisfied.

The preliminary round of the selections would start tomorrow.

After that, they would judge the design blueprints publicly on a TV program until they selected the top winner of this competition.

Eudora seldom went to the construction site recently as she was busy preparing for the competition. Now that she was finally free, she followed Christopher Gellert to check out the construction site.

Progress at the construction site was good. The construction of a modern logistics center was estimated to be finished within a few months.

The person in charge of the construction site was asking them a lot of questions, and Eudora was having a discussion with them.

Her mobile phone suddenly rang.

“I’m sorry, I have to answer this.” said Eudora as she got up to answer the phone.

An unfamiliar female voice sounded from the other side of the phone, “Are you Miss Eudora George? I’m the person in charge of the design competition. Sorry to disturb you, but the CD you handed over this morning was damaged. We can’t play your designed blueprint. Please give us another copy by today. Is that okay?”

Eudora frowned and asked, “How could this be?”

“Sorry, we didn’t expect such a thing to happen either. Please do it as soon as possible, as we’ll start the selection process tomorrow. You will not be able to take part in this competition anymore if you’re late.”

Eudora frowned, she felt somewhat uneasy.

“Okay, got it.” Eudora replied.

After that, she returned to the construction site absent-mindedly. Seeing her troubled look, Christopher asked, “Who was it?”

“The person in charge of the competition, she called me to say that the CD I handed in this morning was damaged, and they need me to give them another copy.” Eudora said.

“Then you’d better go quickly! I can settle everything here.” Christopher said.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t take long to make another copy. Anyway, it’s still early.” Eudora said. She felt guilty for being distracted from her job recently.

Eudora wasn’t in a good condition recently. Although she would pretend as if nothing had happened, her feelings of anxiety could never lie.

“It’s okay. There’s no need to be polite between the both of us, just go ahead!” Christopher said.

Eudora finally nodded her head and said, “I’ll be back right away.”

Eudora went to buy a new CD to copy the files from her laptop into the CD.

Just when she was about to get into her car, she felt someone following her. She turned around, meeting the eyes of an old man.

The old man smiled when he saw Eudora looking at him too.

“Young lady, you don’t look well. Are you having bad luck recently? Why don’t you buy a ?”

It was then when Eudora saw the old man holding a good luck charm.

“I’m sorry. I’m a little busy now.” Eudora said. She never believed in these things. Good luck charms were only superficial items used to comfort oneself.

Unexpectedly, the old man caught up and continued, “Please just buy one! It costs ten dollars only.”

Eudora did not know how to reject him, thus she gave him ten dollars with the leftover money she used to buy the CD.

The old man gave a green charm to Eudora happily as he said, “You’re my first customer today. Let me give you a piece of advice. Nothing lasts forever. If you continue to dwell in the relationship, you will only suffer more in the future. You have to make wise decisions in order to change your fate.”

Eudora did not take his words too seriously and smiled. “Thank you.”

She threw the charm in the passenger seat and drove the car back to the company.

She opened the laptop, and was about to insert the CD. However, she couldn’t seem to open the CD tray of the laptop.

Eudora tried to fix it but to no avail. She felt more uneasy now. She took a deep breath and tried to fix it again.

The laptop had no problem before this! In the end, Eudora managed to pull out the CD tray.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to put the CD in. However, the screen of the laptop blacked out all of a sudden.

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She stared at the laptop for almost two minutes before she tried to turn it on again, but it didn’t work either.

She finally understood why she felt uneasy today. Her sixth sense was telling her that something bad was going to happen.

Eudora quickly took the laptop downstairs to find someone to repair it.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As she got into the car, she saw the green charm on the passenger seat, and suddenly remembered what the old man had told her. Therefore, she picked up the charm to look at it.

After looking at it for a while, she smiled and thought she was being ridiculous. Since when she believed in things like this?

She was the only one who could control her own fate.

She threw the charm into the backseat of the car and went headed directly towards the laptop repair shop.

The staff at the shop however, said that the owner of the laptop had left a confidentiality agreement. They could only repair it after getting the agreement.

The laptop belonged to Amos. He gave it to Eudora because she needed it to draw the design blueprint.

Eudora gave Amos a phone call, and he said that the agreement was left in the company. He would ask Clint to send it to her after the meeting. However, Eudora was running out of time, therefore she could only tell him that she would get it herself.

She hurried to Valiant East immediately. Everyone in the company was treating her nicely this time, but she was in such a hurry that she couldn’t bother to care.

She went to Amos’ office. However, Amos was still in the meeting room at that moment. Therefore, Eudora decided to look for the agreement in the cabinet. Fortunately, the agreement was placed in an obvious section, and Eudora managed to find it immediately.

When she got up from the cabinet, Eudora accidentally hit a stack of documents on the table. The documents fell to the ground.

Eudora bent down to pick the documents up. However, she accidentally read the contents of the document.

It was about registering a fashion design company.

The legal owner of the company was Wendy Liam.

Eudora suddenly remembered the time when Amos had asked all the staff from the design department to have a gathering with Wendy, because Wendy told him that she loved fashion design.

Was Amos going to register a company for Wendy?

The door was opened when Eudora was in a daze. Amos and Clint had just finished the meeting.

Eudora picked up the documents and put them away. “I’m sorry, I accidentally dropped your documents just now.”

Amos frowned when he saw the content of the documents. He said, “Wendy is in bad condition. The doctor said that she would be more reluctant to connect with people now. So, I planned to register a company for her…”
