One Night Stand With That Beggar

Mr. Granger Is Waiting For You

The document was an agreement on the Phantom Group's legal acquisition of the George family's Everpeace Group. Just two days ago, the Phantom Group acquired Everpeace Group.

Eudora George saw the name 'Gordon George' on the contract and remembered what her father said to her before she returned to the Meyer residence that day.

"Eudora, this is the last time I assure you! As long as the George family is able to survive this crisis, I will definitely bring you back!"

"Heh! What a liar!"

When she flipped open the rest of the pages of document, Everpeace Group was indeed already acquired by the Phantom Group.

"You still don't know, do you? The government is planning to develop Rosaville City and they were looking at building a waste-processing factory in the city. It took me some time to consider the most suitable location to build the factory, but now that I think about it, the land where the Everpeace group is built on seems to be the perfect spot..." Felix Meyer smiled evilly.

"Pa!" Eudora gave Felix a hard slap.

"Felix Meyer, you're so shameless!"

Felix instinctively licked the blood at the corner of his mouth with his tongue. "Eudora, just because I didn't hit you today doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. If you fail tomorrow, trust me I'll make sure the Everpeace Group becomes a garbage dump!"

"I'll memorize it!" Eudora angrily took the documents. "But I have one condition. Promise me you will return Everpeace Group to me if I'm able to successfully secure this project for you!"

"Return it to you?" Felix laughed scornfully. "Eudora you naive little girl. Do you know how much money I spent on buying this trash? 80 million dollars!"

"Fine, 80 million dollars it is!" Eudora clenched her teeth.

Felix glared at Eudora in contempt. "We'll talk about it when you have money!"

Before she married Felix, Eudora graduated from one of the top management universities and even worked in Everpeace Group for several years. She was well-versed with dealing with projects and securing deals. She quickly memorised the key points needed for the discussion.

Upon seeing this, Felix left the building and drove his car out.

......

The next morning, outside Valiant East.

Clint Zuckerberg was notified of the arrival of Felix and Eudora at the entrance of the building.

He quickly informed Amos, "Sir, they have arrived."

"Okay!" Amos stood up from his chair and placed his hands into his pockets. He walked over to the edge of the glass windows and took a deep breath, enjoying the picturesque view in front of him. It was a sunny day - the sky was blue and there were white clouds slowly floating along the horizon.

The weather was perfect.

Eudora opened the door and got off the car. Felix reminded her once again, "The future of Everpeace Group is in your hands!"

Eudora narrowed her eyes at Felix and slammed the door behind her.

After handing Eudora her temporary pass, the receptionist led her to the top floor. Eudora stood in the elevator and tried to compose herself. She was feeling very nervous.

The elevator doors opened at the highest floor.

Eudora squeezed the file in her hands and stepped out of the elevator.

Clint was already waiting for her and welcomed her warmly. He said politely, "The boss is waiting for you inside. Please come with me."

"Will there be others joining us for the meeting?" Eudora asked subconsciously.

Clint was puzzled at her query. "Hm?"

"I mean... we are discussing about a project up for bidding, yes? Shouldn't the relevant departments be present in the meeting to make the final decision?"

Clint stifled a laugh at her innocent question.

"No, Mr. Granger makes the final decision."

Eudora let out an embarrassed laugh. "Of course. What was I thinking."

"Miss George, please follow me."

Clint walked ahead of her and through the corridor. Finally, he stopped at the entrance to an office and went forward to knock on the door. Clint turned around and said to Eudora, "Miss George, please go on ahead!"

Eudora George took a deep breath and turned the door handle.

As she stepped inside, she noticed a large extravagant desk in the center of the room. The man was leaning with his back against the desk.

"Mr. Granger!" Eudora spoke.

"Ah! You're here." Amos Granger's voice was very calm and indifferent.

On the other hand, the indifference in Amos' voice made Eudora even more nervous.

"Don't be nervous. Take a seat." Amos said as he turned around to face Eudora. He was just as stunning as she had seen him yesterday.

And his eyes especially. If you stare at them long enough, his watchful gaze seemed to be able to pierce through your soul.

"That's alright!" Eudora placed the file on the table. "This is the Phantom Group's proposal. Please take a look."

"There's no need to rush!" Amos didn't even glance at the document on the table. He walked around the table and towards Eudora.

His tall stature was very intimidating as he approached her. With every step he took towards her, Eudora could feel her heart tremble as she took a step back.

"Why did you look like you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Ah?" Eudora was confused. 'What did he mean?' she thought to herself.

"Felix doesn't treat you very well, does he?"

"What are you trying to say, Mr. Granger? Does it matter if Felix treats me well or not? What does that have to do with you or with the project?"

"Of course it has something to do with the project!"

Amos replied calmly, "If it wasn't for you, the Phantom Group wouldn't even have the chance to bid for the project."

Eudora didn't realise that she had walked herself to the corner of the office, her back falling against the wall. There were no other ways to escape. Once again, she was cornered to the wall by the man. He breathed in her scent.

It was that very scent that made him intoxicated.

Eudora knew the intentions of the man standing in front of her - her hands instinctively reached towards his chest to push him away.

"Mr. Granger, I've told you last night that we're even now and we don't owe each other anymore. If you are going to act so inappropriately towards me again, rest assured I will not hold back."

Amos chuckled, "Are you afraid of me?"

"I know what you're trying to do to me. Obviously I'd be scared, won't I?" Eudora responded.

Amos heard what she said and let go of her.

He sat on the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him. "You knew and yet you still came here?"

"I'm here for the project!" Eudora picked up the file from the table and pushed it to Amos.

Amos still refused to look at the proposal. "Didn't I make myself clear? Any other company can do the project much better. Why should I choose Phantom Group? Give me a reason."

Eudora clenched her teeth. "What do I have to do to make you take a look at the proposal."

"Be my woman!" Amos exclaimed.

"Impossible!" Eudora was taken aback. "I'm married. I'm Felix Meyer's wife."

"Oh!" Amos was not surprised at all. "So what if you're married? Weren't you the one who seek me out that night? We're all adults, we have our own needs. I think you understand..."

'We have our own needs?'

Eudora's face turned pale. "What kind of person do you think I am?"

Amos raised his eyebrows, "A married woman roaming around in the middle of the night to find a man to pleasure herself. What kind of person do you think I will see you as?"

"You!" Eudora's face turned red. "That night was just an accident! Mr. Granger, if you do not have any plans to discuss about the proposal, then I don't think we have anything else to say to each other."

"Ok!" Amos crossed his legs and stared lazily at the upset woman in front of him. "If you reject me today, I believe there will be repercussions waiting for you at the Meyer Family yes?"

"That's none of your business!"

After that, Eudora rushed out and left the office.
