Chapter 229
Eudora George was initially very reluctant to attend the event, but it was rare that Juju could participate in a parent- child activity held in school. Furthermore, Juju had just recovered from a fever. Hence, she was worried that Juju would not be able to adapt well to her new school if Eudora did not put in some effort in the event.
At the very least, she could not let others gossip that Juju did not have a father.
Therefore, Eudora decided to go after thinking about it.
She saw Clint waiting for her outside when she arrived at the hotel.
"President Granger is still in a meeting. Please wait for a moment. He will be coming out in another ten minutes."
Eudora nodded and she went into the room alone.
The room that was arranged by Amos was quite spacious. There was a large living room and it would not be a problem for them to rehearse there.
At that moment, Eudora heard footsteps coming from outside. She turned to see Amos coming into the room.
"Let's eat first."
Eudora said hurriedly, "Please go ahead, I'm not hungry."
However, her stomach protested in hunger and it let out a huge groan. Eudora was embarrassed.
Amos frowned and said, "Couldn't we just have a meal together?"
He said it with a pitiful look as if Eudora had done something heinous to him. Eudora finally said, "Let's eat then!"
Soon, the hotel staff entered the room with their food. The two of them sat across each other and ate. After they were done eating, Eudora got up and said, "Let's begin!"
However, she had eaten too much and she accidentally hurt her back when she stood up in a hurry. She frowned instinctively.
"What's wrong?" Amos asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine!" Eudora shook her head. However, the next second, the man suddenly reached out and pushed her against the wall.
The familiar scent of hormones made Eudora's heart tighten. "What are you doing?"
Amos ignored her, his big hand already sneaking under her clothes.
Eudora panicked. She remembered that Clint was still outside and she quickly lifted her foot to kick him. However, Amos did not dodge her attack and she almost kicked him in the groin. Even though her kick did not land on his groin but her blow landed on his thigh.
She had used a lot of her strength but he did not even frown.
Eudora was taken aback and she had seemingly forgotten that his hand was still wandering around her body.
"Why didn't you dodge?"
Amos said calmly, "If I can't have you, what's the use of having that still?"
Eudora was speechless.
Immediately after, she felt a chill on her back and Amos' hand was pressed against her bruise. "Did you hurt yourself here just now?"
It turned out that he just wanted to check her bruise.
Eudora pursed her lips and said, "It's fine now."
"Tell me, does it hurt here?" Amos frowned and continued, "You will be troubled with lower back pain constantly when you grow old if this doesn't heal properly. When that happens, I'm not going to carry you!" Eudora was at a loss for words. Wasn't he being too full of himself? Who would want to be carried by him?
However, she decided to acquiesce so that they could rehearse as soon as possible.
She nodded and said, "Yes, it was hurting here just now but it's alright now."
Amos did not believe her and he continued caressing her bruise. His big hand was warm and it felt very comfortable, it felt as though she was having a massage when he pressed it on her bruise. He finally let go of her after a long while after he was sure that she was alright. "There's still one hour left. Let's start the rehearsal! Just answer everything that I ask so that we don't waste any time." Eudora was speechless. Who was the one wasting time here?
She took out the draft which she had
prepared. Juju's teacher said that the students who were picked would need to perform with their families at the event. Coincidentally, Juju was picked. Eudora thought that it would be better for Juju to sing. However, it was difficult for her and Amos to sing along with Juju. After thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to dance with Amos while Juju sang.
Fortunately, she had previously watched a lot of children's programs with Juju, so it was not difficult for her to come up with a simple dance.
Eudora handed the things which she had prepared over to Amos. When he saw the gray wolf on the paper, he immediately frowned. "What's this?"
"You..." Eudora replied.
Amos frowned even more and he said, "Are you saying that I have to be a wolf?"
"Yes!" Eudora nodded again.
"What about this one?" Amos pointed at the white sheep on the paper.
"That's me!" Eudora replied.
Amos was unhappy and he said, "Why are you the sheep while I'm the wolf?"
m
Eudora did not seem to notice this. Recently, there was a popular cartoon in the country called 'Wolf and Sheep', so she immediately thought of this.
"Is there anything wrong? It's 'Wolf and Sheep'! It's from a cartoon, so the children will definitely like it. Juju likes it too!"
Amos did not retort when he heard that Juju liked it. However, he still hesitated for a while and said, "Aren't there any other character in the scene?" "Of course, there's the village chief, who's an old man with glasses. That's not bad too."
"No!" President Granger said arrogantly, "Forget it! How are we going to dance?"
Eudora showed the dance to Amos. She looked very adorable and funny when she danced. Amos could not help but smile when he watched her.
When Eudora stopped, she noticed that the man was sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa and he was staring at her with anticipation in his eyes. He was still emitting his charm even when he was not moving.
She looked away quickly when she saw his smiling lips.
"How was it?"
Amos nodded, "Not bad."
"You should practice your part now! Let's try our best to rehearse today. There are only four days left until the event."
Amos frowned when he saw the anxious look on her face.
At this moment, Clint came in and Amos immediately said, "Is the meeting about to start? I'll be there right away."
Clint was surprised.
He just came to ask if they needed water. Moreover, President Granger would usually turn down his work just to spend some time with Miss George. However, why was he suddenly so enthusiastic in his work? Nevertheless, as his personal assistant for many years, Clint was excellent at reading the situation.
He quickly calmed down and nodded. "Yes, everything is ready over there!"
Amos nodded, "Sorry, I have to attend an urgent meeting right now. Why don't you wait for me for a while? We will have another break at three..."
Eudora felt that something was off when she watched him leaving the room quickly.
However, she had no choice but to nod as Amos left the room. After all, she was the one asking for help right now!
After Amos left, Eudora went through her draft and tried practicing for a while. She felt a little tired after a few rounds.
She sat on the sofa to rest but she fell asleep instead.
Amos returned to the room at three in the afternoon. He saw Eudora lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly as soon as he opened the door. He went back out and told Clint, "Tell them that the meeting's over. Let them go back first."
After Clint left, Amos walked over and slowly took her into his arms. He placed her head on his chest so that she could sleep comfortably.
The sunlight shone through the window and filled the room with warmth. Amos chuckled, closing his eyes as well.
