One Night Stand With That Beggar

Benedict was discharged after recuperating for about half a month in the hospital.

After that, he went abroad as fast as he could to pursue his goal in his own life.

Meanwhile, the case of the Granger family gradually simmered down.

After investigating for a period of time, Samuel found some evidence. Although he had not found the mastermind, he managed to find information regarding Walter and how he and the few others were framed.

They were successfully released afterwards.

The media’s criticism against the Granger family had finally come to an end too.

…

In Valiant East, Amos was standing by the window with his back facing the door of his office. Clint was reporting to him.

Clint was reporting to him, “Everything is going smoothly except for the project at the construction site. We haven’t found the relevant person-in-charge yet. The purchasing records of that batch of materials wasn’t reported to the company’s financial department either. We’ve been looking for the records for a long time, but we couldn’t find any. Perhaps they were buried in the ruins.”

Amos said with his lip curled, “Perhaps there’s nothing left at all!”

“Do you mean that someone intentionally schemed against us?”

“What else could it be? Such a serious mistake has never occurred in our projects. The construction team we employed has also been working with us for a long time. Such a problem shouldn’t have happened.”

“You’re right, but we can’t find any evidence at all.”

“Don’t worry, evidence will come to light sooner or later!”

Clint nodded and said, “Yes!”

Clint’s phone suddenly rang. He felt a little embarrassed and he was about to reject it.

“I’m sorry, President Granger. It’s a personal call. I’ll hang up right away.”

“What are you hanging up for? It’s Anya, right? Answer the call! There are no outsiders here.”

Clint nodded and picked up the phone in front of Amos. It was quiet in the room, and the volume of the phone was not low. As a result, Anya’s voice could be heard.

“I’ve prepared lunch and sent it out for you via the express delivery within the city. Remember to eat it! Don’t eat spicy food as you’ve been having gastric problems recently. I’ve also prepared some antacid in the lunchbox. Have one pill after your meal. Don’t forget it!”

Delighted by her reminder, Clint replied with a happy smile on his face, “Okay!”

Amos was displeased at the sight of that. He pondered and realized that he and Eudora had never been so lovey-dovey.

The two of them were acting extremely affectionate with each other. If Amos had not been sitting there, Clint would not have hung up on the call.

As the saying went, every dog has its day. Since Clint was used to witnessing their public displays of affection, Amos’ turn had arrived.

At the thought of that, he purposely added several more sentences to show off.

“Alas, women tend to worry too much, don’t they? Actually, I’m fine. It’s just that I ate some spicy food a few days ago during a meeting with a client.”

“Last night, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. She became so concerned that she even got up in the middle of the night to cook some soup for me, not to mention the gut-nourishing cereal that she prepared this morning.”

“Moreover, she called me just now, saying that she just sent out my lunch. She’s so troublesome!”

He said that she was troublesome, but exhilaration was written all over his face.

Amos looked at him with disdain as he said, “You should appreciate Anya’s kindness. In fact, Eudora also behaves the same way. She always gets the heebie-jeebies when something happens to me.”

Clint asked doubtfully on purpose, “Really? I find that she doesn’t care much about you lately. I thought you two had a quarrel.”

Amos immediately retorted, “Nonsense! Outsiders won’t understand how nice she treats me.”

Clint giggled and ran away while saying, “Well, you’re right. I’ll leave and have my lunch now.”

After taking two steps, he looked back at Amos and said, “What are you going to eat for lunch today, Mr. Granger? I’ll order a meal for you!”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “There’s no need for that. Eudora said that she will send me a meal. I need to reserve my stomach for that.”

Clint couldn’t help but slobber. Then, he replied, “You don’t say! Then, please remember to reserve a portion for me as well, Mr. Granger. I’ll bring it back for Anya.”

“In your dreams!” said Amos while turning his head away.

When the door closed and he was let alone in the office, he sat gloomily in his chair, in deep contemplation.

After thinking for a while, he still decided to call Eudora.

Eudora had busied herself with designing after she got up in the morning.

Although she no longer worked, she still liked designing so much that she was reluctant to give it up. Therefore, she disguised herself on the Internet with a pseudonym called “Eu. G.”, based on her initials. She had made a lot of designs with this identity.

Soon, she became well known in the architectural industry. At present, there were some people who had come to seek her help due to her fame.

Her services were generally free, and she would choose whom to work with according to her own preferences and interests. In fact, she would mostly help those people in need.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

After she finished her work, she went to the garden to take care of the plants.

In reality, she disliked gardening in the past. These plants were used to be taken care of by Wesley before he had left to save Amos.

Thus, Eudora had taken over his job to take care of them.

She hoped that the garden would look as good as it used to be when it was under Wesley’s management.

While she was busy gardening, Cindy came out with her phone.

“Madam, it’s a call from Mr. Granger.”

Eudora was mystified as she asked, “Why is he making a phone call during this time?”

They were an old couple, and he basically never needed to call her at this time. She thought that something bad had happened, hence she quickly wiped her hands and came to pick up the phone.

“Is there something wrong?”

Amos shook his head and said, “It’s nothing! I just suddenly missed you, so I called you.”

Eudora had put him on speaker. Cindy, who was next to her, kept tittering. Eudora was so embarrassed that she wanted to end the call at once. Therefore, she said sternly, “Didn’t you just leave in the morning? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“Don’t hang up! There’s still something else.”

“What is it?” asked Eudora.

“Well…” It was impossible for a man like Amos to say that he was envious of Clint and Anya’s happiness.

Hence, he tried to beat about the bush.

“Clint seems to be having a stomachache these days!”

Eudora thought Clint was sick, so she asked, “Has he gone to the hospital?”

“He’s alright! Anya brought him lunch today though, along with some medicine. Their relationship is quite good!”

Eudora was a little gratified so she said, “Is that so! I’m also glad that Anya can live a blissful life now.”

Amos was at a loss for words.

“Is there anything else?”

Amos didn’t answer her question directly, but continued to talk about other things.

“You haven’t made dessert for a long time.”

Eudora asked curiously, “Didn’t you always dislike sweet food?”

Amos was speechless.

“If you don’t have anything important, I’ll hang up, okay? I’m really busy. I’ve just loosened the soil, but I haven’t watered the plants yet.”

Upon hearing her words, Amos hung up before her.

Hearing the beeping tone after he hung up, Eudora was rendered speechless.

“What is he up to?”

Cindy laughed and said, “Madam, why do I feel that Mr. Granger just wanted your attention?”
