Love Comes To Me
Chapter 165: By improper means

The following day, Eloise Thompson's fever was completely gone and Hector Rogers put his mind at ease and took her out of the hospital and back to the hotel.

Hector Rogers spent another night on the hospital couch, and the thought of it made Eloise Thompson feel a little guilty about how she had gotten so sick for no good reason.

On arriving at the hotel, Reeva Lawson came out just as they were stepping out of the lift, and although she hadn't slept all night, she was still her usual elegant and dignified self, smiling and saying, "Miss Eloise, are you all right? We were so frightened when you suddenly fainted at the party yesterday."

"It's no longer a problem, thank you Miss Reeva for your concern." Eloise Thompson responded.

"It's fine."

Reeva Lawson nodded and looked to Hector Rogers again to speak up on business.

"By the way, Hector, I need you to come over and talk about that project with Mr Sheply yesterday." Reeva Lawson looked at Hector Rogers' face and said, "You didn't get much rest last night, did you? Do you want to get some rest before you go and deal with it?"

The thought of Hector Rogers spending a night in hospital with Eloise Thompson drove Reeva Lawson crazy with jealousy; what makes Eloise Thompson the woman that Hector Rogers treats so well?

"No need." Hector Rogers shook his head, and when he finished he looked to Eloise Thompson.

Seeing this, Eloise Thompson hurriedly spoke up and said, "Go ahead and get busy!"

"Well, you get some rest and call me if you need anything."

Having said that, Hector Rogers left with Reeva Lawson.

Eloise Thompson stood in awe, watching the two men's backs and wondering what was going on, when the door to the room she was staying in was opened and it was Linn Dail who came out. Linn Dail, with a gossipy face, started by asking about Eloise Thompson's body.

"Eloise, how are you? Has the fever gone down? Is there anything else wrong with you? Do you know that you scared me when you suddenly fainted last night." "Don't worry! There's nothing left to do."

"I should have let you rest at the hotel last night... I'm glad nothing serious happened to you! Otherwise I wouldn't have known how to explain to Manager Layla."

Eloise Thompson smiled, "How is resting in a hotel going to take this project! Well, let's go, it's about time to go to SR Group and sign."

"Yeah, oh, let's go, let's go! Don't be late for this hard to get project!"

"Hmm." Eloise Thompson nodded, packed up and left for SR Group with Linn Dail.

...

All along the way, Linn Dail kept gossiping about what Hector Rogers' relationship with herself really was.

"I told you we don't know each other well." Eloise Thompson explains that she really doesn't want her colleagues to know about her relationship with Hector Rogers, after all, there doesn't really seem to be much between the two. "So Mr Hector would have taken you to hospital if you weren't familiar?"

"I guess I had worked together before and Mr Hector was kind-hearted that's why he put me in the hospital."

Linn Dail stares at Eloise Thompson with a look of disbelief.

"Eloise, don't try to lie to me, if you didn't know each other well Mr Hector would have left his job to take you to the hospital and look after you all night? Besides, Mr Hector told me he was your boyfriend."

Eloise Thompson almost didn't choke when she heard that, Hector Rogers was talking about him being his boyfriend?

Linn Dail tugged on Eloise Thompson's hand and continued to gossip: "Eloise, is there really something going on between you two? I never thought you'd be so good as to take down the president of the Rogers Group. You don't even know how nervous Mr Hector looked when you suddenly fainted last night.

Eloise Thompson wanted to explain but didn't know how. Luckily the car had arrived at SR Group and got out to the reception desk where the secretary took them to the office.

"Miss Eloise, I heard you were ill yesterday, is everything okay now?" Mr Orson spoke with concern.

Eloise Thompson smiled, "Thank you Mr Orson for your concern, just a little less fever, nothing more now."

"You young people are just trying to break down your bodies for the sake of work, you know that your bodies are the capital of the revolution, no matter how important your work is, you have to take care of your bodies!" However, Mr Orson appreciates the seriousness of Eloise Thompson's work.

After the successful signing, Mr Orson also handed Eloise Thompson a business card.

"Little girl you can call me if you come to America in the future or if you have any difficulties."

Accepting the card, Eloise Thompson was flattered and then smiled and said, "Thank you Mr Orson, I'll leave you to your work then."

Mr Orson nodded and Eloise Thompson left with Linn Dail.

With the signing contract in hand, both men breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Eloise, you're amazing, you've won another project, and this Mr Orson gave you his card, he looks like he admires you!"

Eloise Thompson smiled and took out her mobile phone to call Layla Davidson to tell her that she had successfully signed with SR Group.

Layla Davidson's voice on the other side said, "That's great, Eloise, I knew you could do it, well done. By the way, I heard from Linn Dail that you're ill, the project has been taken and you can take two days off before you go back home! Take the two days to shop around."

"Okay, Manager Layla," Eloise Thompson agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Eloise Thompson and Linn Dail made a trip back to the hotel first.

Here, Catherine Greaves' face hurt when she heard that Eloise Thompson had won the project, which she hadn't done for a month, in a matter of days.

Catherine Greaves, half exasperated, spoke up reluctantly, "Manager Layla, the SR Group is so dodgy, she Eloise Thompson must have taken it by some shady means."

In Catherine Greaves' mind, she always thought that Eloise Thompson was just a good-looking woman who used her face to seduce clients in order to win projects, but she had no power at all.

At those words, Layla Davidson's gaze sank as she snapped the papers in her hands onto the table and looked at the person in front of her and spoke, "Catherine Greaves, is it so hard to admit that someone has strength?" "Manager Layla ..."

Catherine Greaves' eyes were downcast, intimidated by the aura that came over Layla Davidson.

"Do you know that when Eloise Thompson arrived abroad, she stayed up all night making a new proposal, went to a meeting with a client with a high fever and fainted straight away at the party, do you know how much she had to work for to get the project? And you, Catherine Greaves, it's time for you to reflect on yourself too, instead of denigrating Eloise Thompson here."

Catherine Greaves, knowing that Layla Davidson was a little angry, didn't dare say anything for a moment, so she left the office weakly.
