Eudora George shifted uncomfortably. She really didn't want to stay even a minute longer. She muttered under her breath.
"It doesn't really matter whether I'm here or not when it comes to your business matters, am I right?"
"I told you to stay, so stop saying all this nonsense." Felix Meyer was angry. He raised his hand and waved it towards Eudora's face.
The next second, a big hand grabbed him.
Felix was so angry that he cursed, "Who the f*ck dares to stop me?"
"How dare you! Do you think this is a place where you can do whatever you like?" Clint Zuckerberg, Amos Granger's assistant, said sternly.
It was only then that Felix noticed that the person who grabbed him was Amos Granger, an influential businessman in Rosaville City.
He immediately changed his expression and replied politely. "Mr Granger. My apologies for not recognizing you earlier.."
Amos glanced faintly at the woman standing next to Felix and said coldly, "Don't you know it is not right to hit a woman? Isn't the Meyers a well-educated and powerful family? How could you not know that?"
"Mr. Granger, you're right. I was not thinking right. Our family rules have always been very strict. Perhaps if you have some time, would you like to sit down and have a chat? What do you say, Mr. Granger?."
Even though the Phantom Group had been doing very well, but it was nothing compared to the Valiant East company of the Granger family. Felix naturally wanted to get on Amos' good side.
"There's no need for that!" Amos was disinterested. Instead, he glanced at Eudora, "Who is this?"
Felix thought that his plans had fallen through, but when he heard Amos' question, he quickly grabbed Eudora's hand and pulled her forward.
"This is my wife, Eudora George."
He knew that keeping this woman by his side would still be useful.
'Wife?' Amos frowned and looked at Eudora with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
However, Eudora refused to entertain the man she was just introduced to. No matter how strong her heart was, it was impossible for her to face a man who had just tried to make a move on her.
"Are you done with your introductions? Then I'll leave."
Felix warned in a low voice, "What are you trying to do again? Don't forget what I told you before we came."
Eudora felt a wave of sadness in her heart. "Do you know what you look like now? You sound like a pimp trying to look for a customer for your own wife!"
Felix was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. "Eudora George, don't be so shameless!"
He did not raise his voice too loudly, but people around could see that the two of them were arguing.
Amos' face gradually darkened. Clint, who was standing next to him, sensed that there was something was off. He was a little puzzled when he heard Amos said, "There was a project last month in Valiant East. It seems that the Phantom Group took part in the bidding too, am I right?"
Felix was overjoyed. "Yes, Mr. Granger! I didn't expect that you would be interested in our small company too!"
Clint scoffed quietly. It was obvious that the man was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter. The Boss had always been a workaholic. Obviously he would know the ins and outs of his own company.
"Bring the documents for the project tomorrow and let's talk about it in my office!"
Felix was surprised by the sudden proposition. He was extremely delighted.
He quickly composed himself, "Certainly, Mr. Granger. I will meet you personally tomorrow morning."
"No!" Amos looked at the woman next to him, who had her head lowered the whole time, "Ask her to bring them instead!"
Eudora was stunned and quickly raised her head when she heard what Amos said. However, when her eyes meet his, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned her head away.
"But I'm not an employee of the company!"
"Then forget it!" Amos' mood turned sour. He didn't really care about this project in the first place, and Phantom Group wasn't his first choice anyway.
"Not an issue Mr. Granger!" Felix said, "You can rest assured that we will definitely be present at your office tomorrow!"
After Amos left, Felix pulled Eudora aside and decided to leave the mansion as well. There was much to prepare for the important meeting tomorrow.
After leaving the Granger family's mansion, Eudora pushed Felix away. "Felix, what do you mean? Who gave you the right to make that decision?"
Felix sneered and his face suddenly darkened.
"I haven't even asked you yet! Why did Amos ask for you specifically to go to his office? What's the relationship between the two of you?"
Eudora George pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She was still thinking about the way Amos Granger looked her just now.
His gaze was so piercing that it sent shivers down her whole body. What does he want? Why did he ask her to go his office? She couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"I'm asking you a question, did you hear me?" Felix Meyer grabbed Eudora's collar.
When he saw the hickeys on Eudora's neck, he could feel his blood boil.
"Well well, Eudora George, it seems that I had underestimated you. Why did you take so long at the bathroom earlier? You're still my woman, and yet you still dare to cheat in front of me? I ought to teach you a lesson today!"
Eudora sneered, "Your woman? Aren't the women of the Meyer family just objects to be exchanged for favors? Or are they solely used to attract people's attention?"
"You..." Felix clenched his teeth. "You're really asking for it..."
He raised his hand high and in a quick motion it almost hit Eudora's face. Eudora could almost feel that the impending force landing on the side of her face.
Suddenly he stopped.
"Are you trying to piss me off? So that I'll hit you? I know your tricks. Mr. Granger is still waiting for you. Anyway, you're damaged goods, so it doesn't really matter."
Eudora clenched her teeth. "Felix, are you still a man?"
"Of course I'm a man. Not only that, I want to be the greatest man of all men!" After saying this, he pushed Eudora into the car and left the mansion.
Standing next to the window on the second floor, Amos witnessed the whole interaction between the couple behind the curtains.
Felix drove Eudora to the company instead of going home. The Phantom Group held a meeting overnight to discuss about the project.
When the people who attended the meeting saw Eudora, they were all very puzzled. They all knew that Felix had many women outside, but they didn't know he had such a beauty.
Especially when the woman just lowered her head and did not speak a word throughout the night. Her beauty shone even though she looked quite restless.
A few of the younger staffs were distracted by her during the meeting, irritating Felix. He however did not say a word.
Everyone worked hard through the night, and it was already past midnight when they finally completed the final preparations.
Felix threw the thick stack of documents in front of Eudora and glanced at his wristwatch. "I'll give you two hours to memorize this. If anything goes wrong tomorrow, I'm not going to let you off easily!"
Eudora didn't say a word, nor did she touch the documents on the table.
One of the young men in the conference room looked at the woman pitifully. "President Meyer, it is already quite late. Why don't you go back and rest first? It's okay to memorize it tomorrow. If it doesn't go well, we still have our colleagues with us. Everything will be fine."
Felix looked at the young man coldly and said, "Get out of here."
The young man was stunned. "President Meyer..."
"I told you to get out of here! Get out!"
The young man's expression changed. After a few seconds, he turned around and left the conference room. The others too excused themselves after seeing Felix's temper.
Only Eudora and Felix were left in the room. He sneered, "Look at the power you possess, Eudora. A stranger was willing to risk his job and plead for you even though you were just sitting here minding your own business. You must feel very good about it."
"Are you done talking? I said I won't go to Valiant East. You can find someone else!" Eudora got up from her seat.
Felix threw a piece of document at her stiff body. "Leave if you want. As soon as you leave, I'll sign this document."
