My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 640
TEM Company had always been a mysterious existence for the outside world.
They were founded in Country M and they had expanded to multiple countries within two years.
Even in the recent international market, they had always been invincible.
There was a saying that TEM Company would only move forward, never backward.
It was also rumored that anyone who made a mistake in TEM Company would be severely punished. The one who made the mistake must be punished so that everyone else would remember the lesson. Under such iron-fisted management, TEM Company's leaders took every step with caution so that they would not lose.
Of course, TEM Company was no longer what it used to be. They could afford to make mistakes back then. Even if that were to happen, they would only need to plan for a comeback instead of backing out. That was the reason why that piece of news had attracted the attention of many.
"What on earth is going on?" Eudora asked.
The secretary shook her head. "I'm not very sure either. I just saw the news on the media. Just now, TEM Company officially announced to the public that they had withdrawn from Greene City's market. They also said that the previous project was an error on their end; they even sent a notice to us, saying that they would compensate us for our loss."
The project manager's eyes lit up. "TEM Company must've been stung by their conscience..."
Leslie snorted. "You wish! Miss Eudora, don't be fooled by their actions. We have Mr. Nolan to thank for this matter. If it weren't for him, we would have been dragged down by TEM Company!" "Fabian?" Eudora felt a shiver run down her spine. "Didn't I say that we shouldn't reach out to him for the time being? Who spoke to him?"
"It's me!" Leslie said, "If you want to punish me, Miss Eudora, then by all means. I couldn't bear to see you working so hard. Furthermore, Holt Enterprise has always been Mr. Holt's lifeblood..." Leslie took off his name tag, "I am willing to accept any punishment, Miss Eudora."
Eudora took a deep breath. She was very furious. However, Leslie had always been loyal, and he was much older than her.
He did what he did for the sake of the company. Eudora had no choice but to return the nametag to him.
"Forget it! It's me, your leader, who is useless. That was why all of you had to suffer with me. Since the matter has been settled, let's all go and take a rest!"
The tricky problem had been solved, and everyone became much more relaxed. They left soon after.
Eudora then looked at Leslie, "Where is Fabian? Is he waiting for me downstairs?"
Leslie was taken aback, "Mr. Nolan has not shown up at all. He went back to work right away after solving the problem. There are a lot of issues within the Nolan family recently!"
It was beyond Eudora's expectations. The Fabian she knew would have come over to the company and use that reason to invite her to dinner or a date.
Could it be that she was overthinking the matter?
Seeing that Eudora did not speak, Leslie continued.
"Mr. Holt's judgment is always right. Mr.
Nolan is indeed the most reliable person. Miss Eudora, I suppose you hadn't been paying any attention to the Nolan family's matters recently, yes? When a certain incident happened within the Nolan family in the past, Mr. Nolan had turned the tide within a few days. Right now, the Nolan family still leads Greene City."
After a slight pause, Leslie said hesitantly.
"There is something that I'm not sure if I should say, or not."
Leslie was already in his fifties and he had gone through thick and thin with Tyler. If he wanted to speak, Eudora naturally couldn't reject it.
"Please go ahead, Uncle Clarke."
"I'm talking about... the marriage between Mr. Nolan and you. I know that you probably do not have any feelings for Mr. Nolan, but it has always been Mr. Holt's wish for you to marry him. He told me that many times in private when he first picked you up and came back here. He said that he would hand over the company to you in the future, but he was still a little worried. After all, you are a woman, and he was afraid that you don't know the dangers of the business world. If you were to marry Mr. Nolan in the future, as long as you are under the Nolan family's protection, the Holt family will definitely be fine. What's more, Mr. Nolan has feelings for you..."
"I understand!" Eudora interrupted Leslie, "I will put your words into consideration."
If it had been in the past, Eudora would have definitely rejected the suggestion without hesitation. However, after experiencing these recent events, she felt a bit conflicted all of a sudden. Amos, whom she had thought that she could rely on, suddenly turned out to be the murderer who killed her father. Also, she still couldn't figure out the matter regarding TEM Company... She was undeniably a little tired.
Perhaps she should start a new relationship, even if it was not for herself. Perhaps, for the Holt family, she should give it a try.
Leslie was overjoyed. "Miss Eudora, are you sure? That's great! Mr. Holt would be delighted if he knew about this!"
Eudora looked at Leslie's excited expression and couldn't help but think of Tyler's happy face when she said that she was willing to accompany him to dinner.
Feeling a twinge of guilt in her heart, Eudora heaved a deep sigh of relief.
The phone rang and Fabian's caring voice could be heard from the other end.
"Has the matter regarding the project been settled?" "Yes..." Eudora responded, "I have just gotten the news. Everything's okay! Thank you!"
Leslie heard Fabian's voice and smiled cheerily. He then turned around and left the room sensibly.
Eudora frowned, and Fabian's laughter rang in her ears, "What's wrong? You sound a little off today. We haven't contacted each other for just a few days. Are you already not accustomed to me, just like that?" Eudora shook her head. "No, I was just thinking about something."
Fabian pondered for a moment before replying, "The Holt family has too many matters to attend to. You've been working too hard recently. You should relax a bit now that the matter has been resolved. Are you free tonight? Why don't we have a meal together?"
After that, he added, "Please don't refuse me! I am really terrified of you now!"
Eudora couldn't hold back her laughter. "Alright then, where are you taking me?"
Since she had decided to change his mindset, she should also be the one to take the first step!
Fabian was delighted. "Really? Are you sure about that?"
Eudora did not expect him to be so thrilled. She hesitated for a moment. "Yes... I'm sure. I'll just treat it as a thank-you for helping me to solve this problem."
"Great! Eudora, this is the greatest news I've heard this year!"
Eudora hung up after they had decided on a place.
She could hear a slight creak coming from the door. Eudora walked over and opened the door. Leslie and Quinn almost stumbled in.
Their gazes met, and Leslie immediately turned around and looked up at the ceiling.
"The weather sure is nice today..."
Eudora sighed helplessly. "Uncle Clarke, stop pretending!"
Leslie coughed lightly and said, "I was just curious about your conversation with Mr. Nolan on the phone. I'm relieved to see that you guys are getting along!"
