My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 893

The next day would be a week before the New Year.

The day of the company's annual banquet had arrived.

Eudora woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for her family, and then went to the company to do her makeup in the afternoon. She also needed to review the manuscript prepared by her secretary!

Fortunately, she had been practising in the company many times, therefore she would not be as timid as she used to be on such occasions!

After putting on her makeup, she stood up with the manuscript in her hand.

When she walked towards the door, she saw Amos standing at the door and looking at her while holding their children's hands.

Seeing her, Sugar Bun was the first to open his mouth with a grin.

"Mommy, do your best!"

Eudora was baffled and saw Juju covering her younger brother's face. "It's too early..."

However, Sugar Bun didn't care about it. He thought his sister was correcting him, hence he waved his small hand and shouted, "Mommy, you can do it!"

Juju gave up and followed suit, "Do your best, Mommy!"

Eudora felt a surge of warmth in her heart and walked over to stand in front of them.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Amos' voice was low and husky. "My queen is going to the battlefield. I'm bidding her a fond farewell!"

Eudora had goosebumps all over her face and said, "Where did you learn those words? They're so cheesy!"

He did not answer. He bowed his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. The two little kids followed up instantaneously and kissed on her left and right cheeks respectively.

"You can go!"

Eudora asked curiously, "Aren't you going with me?"

Generally, they could bring family members along to the annual banquet. Even if Eudora was not allowed to bring family members along, Amos could still go since he used to be the leader of the company!

He shook his head and said, "We won't go. It's cold, so we will just wait for you at home!"

She was a little disappointed. "Are you really not going?"

She thought that if she performed well, she would be praised by him on the spot!

Just as she was thinking about it, the three of them had already turned and left.

She was left alone.

"Three heartless guys!"

In fact, that day was also Eudora's birthday! She had never cared about her birthday, but her birthday that year was a little special.

It was the first year that she took over the Valiant East. At the annual banquet, she would announce the company's performance to the public for the first time.

To be surprised, she was not informed regarding the exact statistics about how much the company had improved that year. She just had a vague number in her heart!

She sighed and muttered to herself.

"Forget it."

She seldom celebrated her birthdays before, so it was normal for them to overlook it. She reminded herself not to think too much!

She suppressed her thoughts and rushed to the banquet hall.

When she arrived at the venue of the banquet, she was exasperated.

"Shouldn't everything have been prepared? Why did it turn out that there's no one here? There are so many things that should be arranged, and I don't know who I should make requisitions to." She was initially a little vexed, but at that moment, she was really enraged!

She immediately called her assistant. "What's going on? Where's Clint? Why are these things not ready yet?"

She thought that she could at least achieve something that was worth bragging about to Amos.

She would be one year older after that day. Even if she was no match for his abilities, she hoped that she could get closer to him!

"I have to be a good match for him!" She told herself.

The assistant said hurriedly, "I'll arrange it right away. Don't worry."

Eudora calmed down and looked at the manuscript again. After looking at it for a while, she felt thirsty. Just as she was about to drink some water, she realized that the drinks hadn't been prepared yet! Moreover, none of the invited guests were present.

Clint arrived when she was about to fly into a rage again. Eudora quickly asked, "What's going on? Aren't you responsible for the planning?"

"I'm sorry, Madam!" He apologized at once as he turned up, which made her confused.

"What's the matter? Speak slowly."

"I'm sorry, Madam. I might not be able to handle the arrangements here today. I had a fight with Anya yesterday and I just found out that she's leaving Rosaville City. I have to chase after her instantly, thus I'm leaving now. I've already handed the matters over to the assistant."

After that, he already turned around and left before Eudora could answer.

She stretched out her hand but she didn't say anything in the end. She simply put down the manuscript and was ready to go check on him.

Unexpectedly, her phone rang after she had just taken two steps.

It was from Harley. "I'm sorry, Eudora. I accompanied Thea to the hospital for a prenatal care checkup today. The doctor said that she needs to walk more at the moment. In addition, she can't eat the food with high sugar content or go to a noisy environment, it will have a bad impact on the baby. Thus, we might not be able to go to your annual banquet tonight! I wish you all the best, and may your business grow and bring you prosperity. Good luck!"

Thea also said, "Eudora, let's get together again when I get better!"

Since they had said that sincerely, how could Eudora say no?

She had no choice but to nod. "Take care."

After hanging up the phone, she silently pursed her lips and pondered, "Well, another two won't be here."

Just as she was thinking about it, the phone rang again. It was Tina this time. She told Eudora about the child in her belly.

"It's moving! Eudora, it moved this morning. It's amazing!"

She nodded. "Yes, pregnancy is a very happy process. At this period, you can eat more appropriately so that the child can grow well!"

Tina nodded. "That's right. Luckily, Christopher treats me well. I said I wanted to eat a different cuisine today, and he went looking for a local chef, and it's being prepared right now!"

Eudora was flabbergasted. Sure enough, the next second, she received unpleasant news from Tina.

"Eudora, can I... not go to your banquet? Usually, there would be some sweet food at the banquet. I don't really have a good appetite for those foods. I want to eat some savory food at the moment, so I..." "Okay, I got it!"

Eudora was helpless. At first, she was dismayed when they said that they were not coming. However, she began to get used to it.

It would be the same even if none of her family members or close friends came. On the contrary, she would be more relaxed if no one came because she wouldn't have to worry about being stared at by them when she was delivering the speech later on!

"Thank you, Eudora! You're the best! Love you!"

"Love you too!" She smiled and hung up the phone.

The assistant shouted outside, "Miss George, everyone is arriving!"

Eudora regained her composure in haste and stood up. "Alright, I'm coming!"

Most of the guests that night were the company's employees while the others were the business partner such as the suppliers or the clients.

Eudora wanted to go out to greet them, but found that she seemed to be ignored.

Everyone who entered the hall would be chatting with people they were familiar with. She was just like an outsider who could not get along with them
