Ela hinted at Agnes to stop talking with her eyes.
Josh was at the peak of his anger, if Agnes retorted him and angered him further, it was not beneficial at all for the two of them. Who knew if Josh would instantly agree Eloise’s demand and drive them out of their home. Then it would have been too late.
Agnes understood her own mother’s meaning. She pursed her lips and finally held in all ger dissatisfaction and did not say anything.
Josh looked at Agnes in disappointment and he contacted Robbie again, discussing on what to do next.
…
After the three left, Eloise’s expression remained dark. Having met this sort of father was rather not saddening for her, since she was already used to the Thompson family’s attitude towards her all these years.
It was just that these few people kept appearing to disgust her now and then, and it was really annoying.
After, Eloise recovered her emotions and went to the office after changing her clothes.
Throwing aside the unhappy events in her mind, Eloise put her heart and soul entirely into work.
At about three or four in the afternoon, Layla came by and pressed, “Eloise, you are done with the proposal, right? Hurry and get to the Rogers Group to discuss on the collaboration!”
Layla did not forget Master Rupert’s request, to allow Eloise to discuss on the agreement.
Hearing this, Eloise paused.
“I have to go now?”
“When else do you plan to go? If you complete the discussion on the collaboration, it would allow us to get the USHOW project, no?”
“Well… alright.”
But why did it have to be her who was going?
Without other options, Eloise left the office with the proposal.
The two companies were not far from each other, so Eloise walked there. On the way, she was still fretting if Layla had booked a prior appointment with the Rogers Group? Did Hector know that she was going over?
She had wanted to call and ask Layla, but she did not expect that just as she arrived the Rogers Group, she already bumped into Hector at the entrance. He seemed to have returned from some sort of socialising event just now.
The man was dressed in a black suit, his entire person radiating with a mighty aura. The employees around who saw him all greeted him respectfully, “Good day, Mr Rogers.”
Hector walked into the company without expression. When he saw Eloise who was standing at the entrance, he immediately stunned, as if he was not expecting to see her here.
The surrounding employees who were passing by seemed to have felt it as well, the abnormality of their CEO, and it appeared to be due to this woman. Everyone looked at Eloise in puzzlement.
Realising everyone’s gazes, Eloise could not help but feel quite embarrassed as she greeted awkwardly, “Good day, Mr Rogers.”
Hector glanced at her and asked, “Why are you here?”
Eloise explained the reason she came, “Our company is recently trying to get the USHOW project. The manager said that your subsidiary company was quite good at marketing so she told me to come for the discussion on the collaboration. I’ve already did the proposal, do you have the time to take a look at it?”
Hector paused, it was Layla who sent Eloise here? On another thought, he already knew whose handiwork this was.
“Yes, follow me!”
Just like this, the employees of the company watched as Eloise followed Hector, and went upstairs in the elevator reserved for the CEO. Everyone was heated in discussion, making guesses about Eloise’s identity.
Hector leaded Eloise into his office. He took off his coat and put it on the chair, and he ordered his assistant to pour Eloise a glass of water.
Hector pursed his lips and said, “You have a seat first, I’ll have a look at the proposal.”
