Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 149: Taking the project
Hector Rogers walked to the door, looked at the old man in front of him and politely spoke up and called out, "Grandpa."
The old man nodded in response, "You're here at last, where's that boy Rupert? Why isn't he here?"
Hector Rogers spoke with a faint smile on his face and responded, "He can't sit still, as you know ..."
The two Rogers family brothers would come over to chat and play chess and drink tea with the old man when they could, but it didn't take long for Rupert Rogers to get bored, after all, the second youngest Ken was not interested in sitting around playing chess and drinking tea, he would rather be working in the office.
The old man laughed helplessly, "This boy ..."
Hector Rogers helped the old man through the door before speaking, "Come on, Grandpa, let's go inside and play a few games of chess with you today."
At these words, the old man was jubilant.
As soon as he entered, Hector Rogers saw that the tea set had disappeared, knowing that the old man had loved it so much that it had been here for a long time. Has Grandpa put it away?
Sensing Hector Rogers' confusion, the clerk spoke up and explained, "Young master, a woman just came in and the master saw how much she liked the tea set, so he gave it away."
At these words, Hector Rogers' eyes flashed with surprise that this tea set had been given away? You know that the old man's eyes are higher than the sky and it is very rare to find one that he can look at.
"Is that so? Didn't Grandpa say before that it was to be given to someone with a heart, so aren't you afraid of looking at the wrong person?"
The old man smiled and then spoke, "Although I am retired, but not yet old man faint flower, Fang just now that girl, eyes pure, no calculations, looks very clear spirit."
Hector Rogers was surprised to see the old man praise someone like that for the first time.
"That said, I think that little girl is a good match for you, and the rarest thing is that she is very interested in the tea ceremony, so I'll have her come every day, and you might like it if you come back and meet her." Hector Rogers was noncommittal and simply dismissed the old man as a rehash of an old story.
Anyway, both the Rogers family and Grandpa Chin's family were concerned about his marriage.
"Grandpa, I already have my eye on someone, so you don't have to worry about me."
As they walked upstairs, the old man spoke, "I heard Mullan talk about it, it's good that you have someone you like, but it's just that the other person's character seems to be worrying." Matriarch Godbold, mother of Hector Rogers.
Although Matriarch Godbold verbally said he was done with Hector Rogers and Eloise Thompson, he couldn't help but complain when he came to Fletcher Godbold and wanted Fletcher Godbold to talk about Hector Rogers.
So Fletcher Godbold knew something about Hector Rogers and Eloise Thompson. After all, his daughter had said that the other man was of questionable character, and Fletcher Godbold was always a little worried that Hector Rogers had the wrong man.
Hector Rogers did not say anything, and the old man continued, "Hector, whether it is the Rogers family or the Qin family, in the future, it will be you and Rupert who will inherit. You are the eldest son of the Rogers family.
Hector Rogers was helpless, "She's a good person, it's Mum who has some misunderstandings about her, and besides, my uncle has children, so it's not my turn to find out how."
"You are also my grandson, so is Rupert, you all have a part to play, the Qin family has been loyal and dedicated in the military for generations, you and Jin Yao have gone into business, and that cousin of yours, will need to rely on you for support in the future."
"I will, Granddad."
Fletcher Godbold nodded as he set the board up and opened his mouth again to bring up Eloise Thompson.
"Hector, your parents aren't trying to interfere with your marriage either, they just want you to find a good one and Grandpa hopes the same, marriage is a big life event and it has to be well thought out."
With that said, Fletcher Godbold couldn't help but think of the woman from earlier again, with the thought of pairing her up with Hector Rogers.
"How about tomorrow, you come over and meet that little girl today, maybe you'll really like her!"
Hector Rogers looked helpless as he pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, don't worry about it, she's the only one I've ever wanted in my life."
He had already decided on Eloise Thompson and couldn't possibly like anyone else.
It was the first time that Fletcher Godbold had seen Hector Rogers so persistent, and eventually he sighed and said nothing more.
"If you really like it, Grandpa won't stop you, I just hope you can live a happy life in the future."
Hector Rogers nodded, and as the board was set up between conversations, he wasn't about to continue the conversation.
The Fletcher Rogers sub also played chess with interest and did not mention Eloise Thompson again.
How could the two men at this moment possibly have imagined that the little girl the old man was talking about was Eloise Thompson, and that the person Hector Rogers liked was the person the old man had just met? This way, Eloise Thompson got her tea set and went back.
...
The following day she had an appointment with Paige Coldwell to discuss the project, in the same tea house, and Eloise Thompson dropped off the tea set.
Paige Coldwell, a man of knowledge, saw at once that the tea set before him was not an ordinary one, and he loved it.
"Miss Eloise has a heart and I love this tea set."
Eloise Thompson smiled, "Mr Paige likes it just fine."
When she was finished, Eloise Thompson handed the proposal to Paige Coldwell.
"Mr Paige, here is the project, see if there is anything you don't like?"
Paige Coldwell flipped through the document and after reading it, a look of praise flashed in his eyes; it had only been a short day and Eloise Thompson had come up with such a good proposal. This little girl is really nice.
The proposal was approved, and Paige Coldwell kept her word and signed with Eloise Thompson without a word.
The corner of Eloise Thompson's mouth ticked up as she took a project off the table.
"Mr Paige was a pleasure to work with."
"Well, good cooperation!"
After the business talk, Eloise Thompson had another chat with Paige Coldwell, a tea-lover, before returning to the office.
...
On arrival at the office, Eloise Thompson reported back to Layla Davidson about the project having been completed. "Awesome Eloise, I knew you'd be fine, another project taken in just a short time, awesome."
Eloise Thompson smiled, "Thank you manager."
She chatted with Layla Davidson for a while longer, then went to work on other things for a while, and when it was time to leave work, Eloise Thompson arrived at the antique shop as promised. The shop assistant saw a flash of surprise in Eloise Thompson's eyes, "You're really here, little girl, I thought you wouldn't come if you had brought your tea set!"
"How is that possible." Eloise Thompson laughed.
The clerk smiled back and continued to speak, "The old man is on the first floor, I'll take you up."
"Hmm." Eloise Thompson nodded and followed the clerk up the stairs.
Fletcher Godbold was making tea on the terrace when he saw that Eloise Thompson had kept her appointment and his heart grew even more fond of the little girl.
