Chapter 14 Listen To What I Say
The woman saw that Felix Meyer didn’t seem to be very angry, so she pleaded coyly to him. “I don’t want to apologize, Felix. I don’t want to.”
“Apologize!” Felix suddenly snapped at her.
The woman’s hand trembled and she knew that she crossed the line. She immediately bowed to Eudora George, “I’m sorry.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Eudora’s lips turned into a smirk. “It doesn’t matter to me how much you want play outside, but you should at least have some standards if you know what I mean. This kind of woman will only cause you trouble in the future.”
Eudora turned around and entered the room.
The woman glared fiercely at Eudora’s retreating back and turned around to Felix. “Felix, my leg hurts so much. I don’t care, you have got to do something about her.”
Felix took a small step back and leaned on the wall. A look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
He could feel his blood boil when he thought of Eudora’s condescending attitude towards him earlier.
She was just a lowly woman. How daring of her to think she could belittle him just because she had been out working for a while now.
“Felix…”
“Yes, I will!” Felix said coldly. The woman hugged Felix’s arm with joy. “I know, Felix, you’re the best to me.”
Upon hearing this, Felix sneered, “Really? Would you listen to me to what I say then?”
“Of course I will listen to you. I’m willing to do anything you want me to do!”
“Then I am telling you to get lost now!” Felix said lightly. The woman was stunned for a moment before she laughed awkwardly. “What are you talking about?”
“Get lost!” he yelled.
The woman trembled at his temper, not knowing what to do. Felix impatiently pushed her hands away from him and turned around to leave.
…
Eudora did not have enough rest as she worked till very late last night. Her head started throbbing the next morning.
Her assistant brought her a cup of coffee and said with a smile, “Manager George, the project last night has been approved. We have another client today and we have an appointment at the Rosaville City Hotel later in the afternoon.”
“Where did this client come from?” Eudora questioned in suspicion.
“Oh! We used to deal with this client a long time ago, but it has been two years since we had a project together. This time they finally came back to us, and if we are able to successfully secure this project, we should be able to bring in quite a sum.”
True. There were no reason to reject good business.
When they were about to leave the building to meet the client in the afternoon, the assistant’s phone suddenly rang.
“Manager George, our client from last night said that there were some issues with our agreement. He’s requesting us to take care of it immediately. But if we leave now, what shall we do about the client here?”
Eudora frowned, “In that case I’ll leave the agreement to you to take care of. I’ll stay and meet this client.”
“Are…” The assistant was a little hesitant. “Are you sure?”
“Yes I’m sure! It’s still broad daylight and we’re meeting in public, I will be fine. Go, make sure you take care of the issue well.”
The assistant left.
Eudora got on the car and drove towards Rosaville City Hotel.
After entering the room, Eudora realised that the client came alone too. She felt a nagging suspicion.
On the other side of the room, the client seemed decent apart from his bad taste in fashion. He was literally clad in golden shining clothes. Of course, that has nothing to do with the project at all.
Eudora took out her files and started explaining. “President Horace, our company’s real estate…”
“There’s no need to rush!” President Horace said with a smile. “You came all the way here, and you didn’t even catch a breather yet! Here, have a sip of water first.”
Eudora really wanted this to end as soon as possible, so she took the glass and drank it all up. Then she continued to say, “This area is near to the Rosaville City’s riverside and the location is very strategic…”
She paused and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
“What’s wrong?” President Horace asked.
Eudora shook her head, but for some reason, her body began to feel hot.
President Horace suddenly sneered when he saw her struggle. “Do you feel a little hot? And you have no strength at all?”
Eudora’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the empty glass. “What did you add to the drink?”
