Her heart ached, but Thea still put on a faint smile.
"Yes, you're right. We're just friends! I seemed to have thought too much."
The two of them smiled at each other, but both of them could feel their hearts aching.
At this moment, Harley's phone started ringing. He immediately came up with an excuse, "Well, I still have some other businesses to attend to. I'll leave first!"
"Okay. Go ahead! I'm leaving too!"
The two waved at each other and said, "See you again."
However, everyone knew that they would not see each other again. Even if they met each other, they would be like strangers.
When they turned around, tears flooded their eyes.
After returning to Clearwater Bay, Amos went to his study room alone.
As soon as he closed the door, he called Clint.
"Get someone to keep an eye on Steven. The moment they take action, get someone to arrest him immediately."
Clint was stunned, "Mr. Granger, didn't you say that you wanted to observe them slowly?" "We're not doing that anymore! I suspect that he has other intentions," Amos' gaze was a little cold. Steven was already plotting against his woman. What else was there to observe?
Clint hesitated, "But... we have been planning this for a long time. Besides, many people in the company have been dissatisfied with Steven recently. It seemed that he had neglected the company's interests for the sake of setting you up last time. As long as we hold on for a little while longer..."
"I'd rather give up a thousand chances than to let him slip away!"
He could not give anyone another chance to hurt Eudora.
Clint's whole body froze, "Okay, I understand!"
At this moment, Eudora pushed the door open and came in, "What are you talking about? It sounded scary!"
Amos was stunned, "Nothing, I was just talking about chess," He skipped the topic with ease and beckoned Eudora to come over.
Eudora walked over obediently and he pulled her over to sit on his lap.
His broad chest immediately enveloped her into a hug. Eudora gradually became familiar with this feeling and did not move.
"Are you alright?" Eudora asked him.
"Yes! It's just that seeing Tina being taken away made me afraid that you would leave me one day."
Eudora was stunned, "How come?" As soon as she said this, both of them were stunned. Even she did not know why she had blurted out this sentence.
"Well... I mean, I'm already married to you, aren't I?"
However... they had yet to register their marriage. In that case, they were just considered two people who were living together illegally, right?
Oh man!
Eudora was in a dilemma and she did not know what to say.
Amos was amused and he said, "I know, I believe you."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his movements ever so gentle.
"Our minds are connected. I know your every thought."
Eudora curved her lips. "Do you know what I'm thinking about now?"
Amos was stunned when he heard Eudora's stomach growling. He suddenly smiled and said, "I know. You're hungry."
Eudora was embarrassed and she looked at her growling tummy in a huff.
It was obvious that she had wanted to keep him guessing, but her stomach was such a party-pooper.
"Let's get something to eat then!" Amos said with a smile.
"Amos, are you okay? Fortunately, you are not hurt."
Amos did not even look at him. He lowered his head and took Eudora's hand, "Are you okay? Who told you to rush over here? What if you got hurt?"
Eudora shook her head, "I'm fine!"
The people next to her were all attracted by Eudora and praised her one after another.
"Miss George is really awesome!"
"Yes! Mr. Granger is so lucky."
In the end, not a single person even looked at Steven. He had wanted to show his brotherly love, but even that ended up in vain.
He had no choice but to silently follow behind Amos, waiting for the next chance.
After accompanying Amos through the whole hall, the group of people just now eventually dispersed as they were getting tired. Steven finally found an opportunity to speak.
"Amos, I know that I was wrong in the past. Please don't be angry. I'm apologizing to you right now. No one has contributed to the success of Valiant East as much as you have. In the future, I will have to ask you about the company's affairs."
Amos did not say a word. Instead, it was Eudora who asked,
"But, didn't you dismiss Amos from the company a while back? Your words seem to imply that you want him back at the company now."
Steven paused and said, "Well... Eudora, it was not something that I could control. It's the director of the company who makes the decision. Besides, I know that Aunt Bethany had her own thoughts too. However, you may rest assured. I will definitely find a way to speak to Aunt Bethany. Amos, if you have time now, why don't we go to the stage and talk for a while?"
He was hoping to achieve his goal with just a few good words.
However, fortunately, this hope of his would never materialize.
Before he could finish his words, Bethany had already come out from the back, displeasure written all over her face.
Her heart tightened when she heard Steven, whom she was keen on supporting, blurting out such words.
