My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 540

For the first time in her life, Eudora felt that she wasn’t being a good citizen. She frowned and felt an urge to retreat.

Leslie smiled and looked at Eudora. "Miss Eudora, don't you want to go in and have a look?"

In fact, Leslie had been trying to mock Eudora from the very start. After all, Eudora was the apple of Tyler's eye. Tyler had said in front of him repeatedly that he would give the entire Holt family's properties to her in the future.

Even though he felt that the lady standing in front of him was a good person, she might not necessarily be an expert in managing the Holt Family.

If she looked like a good person at first sight, then others would not be intimidated by her, and it would be unlikely for her to control them at all.

That was why he was trying to test Eudora.

Eudora pursed her lips. Although she was not a bad person, she was not a fool. She understood the underlying meaning of Leslie's words.

Since Tyler had given her such a task, she couldn't possibly disappoint Tyler's 'arrangements' for her, could she?

She smirked and said sarcastically.

"Are you one of the Holt's? Do I need you to teach me what to do?"

Leslie suddenly fell silent and grew serious. "I'm not..."

"Cut the cr*p. Didn't you say that you were going to take me in for a look?"

"Alright, come on in then!" Leslie composed himself and quickly led Eudora into the office.

There were quite a few customers in the building even though it was still broad daylight. Many of them were smoking in front of the table.

Eudora frowned and quickly walked over.

Leslie led her around and introduced everyone to her with a smile.

"Miss Eudora, the Holt Family is in charge of tons of places like this. This is the very first branch we opened, and we do not have any manager here for the time being. I'm looking after it in the meantime, but we usually have an assistant here."

Leslie waved his hand, and a man in his twenties ran over.

"Mr. Clarke."

Leslie pointed at Eudora. "This is Miss Eudora Holt. She will be taking care of this place from now on!"

"Miss Eudora, this is Raymond."

Eudora didn’t know him, but he looked just like a thug. His eyes rolled when he heard that Eudora was going to take over this place in the future.

He looked at Leslie, his tone a tad harsh. "Mr. Clarke, are you kidding? How could a woman possibly manage such a place?"

Leslie whispered to him.

"Raymond, watch your mouth."

Raymond was still unhappy. "Mr. Clarke, didn't you always say that the company would prioritize the person's ability and not their status? Although the lady here is of noble blood, we still need to know her ability first if she wants to lead us."

Leslie frowned. "Watch what you say!"

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall.

A waiter ran toward them with sweat all over his head.

"Raymond, Mr. Clarke. A customer is arguing with the dealer over there!"

Leslie subconsciously wanted to go and have a look. However, Raymond grabbed him and said, "Mr. Clarke, isn't Miss Eudora here? It's none of your business!"

Mr. Clarke gritted his teeth and said, "You must be out of your mind!"

At this moment, the thin man was looking at Eudora, unblinking.

It was the fifth day and the seventh hour since he was separated from Eudora. He remembered that moment very clearly. He had planned to look for Eudora as soon as he was done with Valiant East.

However, Bethany had suddenly passed away. She did not regain her consciousness after she was sent to the hospital that day.

Because of his father's dying wish, Amos had to bury Bethany's body before hurrying over to the Greene City.

Amos heard Eudora talking to Leslie, who had since arrived at the scene. "Since we have offended the guests, we should compensate him..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, she heard the man's voice coming from behind her.

"Could I make a bet with you? If you win, then I will let this matter go. If I win, then, I want you to promise me one thing!"

The man's cold voice was electric. Although Eudora had not seen him for several days, his voice was still like a curse to her, unforgettable to the end of time.

Whenever she was all alone at night, she could always hear him calling her name by her ear.

Eudora looked into his deep eyes. He had lost a lot of weight. Her heart ached.

It was not until Leslie's voice rang in her ears that she suddenly came back to her senses.

She had lost her composure. This place belonged to Tyler. It would not be good if Tyler were to find that she had treated Amos too kindly.

She quickly withdrew her eyes and glanced at Amos coldly.

"Oh, it's you, President Granger. Are you done dealing with your family affairs? Why do you have time to come and play in Greene City?"

Amos smirked and said, "My kitty has run away so I came here to get it back!"

Eudora's heart tightened and she took a deep breath. "Mr. Granger, you may look for your cat somewhere else. This is not the place to look for cats."
