Chapter 193: Grandpa's Birthday Party
On Hector Rogers' side, when he returned, Rupert Rogers was playing a game with Solomon, and when he saw his brother return, he opened his mouth to say hello. "Brother, you're back!"
Hector Rogers ignored it and took his jacket off and tossed it aside just as the game ended, and Rupert Rogers looked up only to find his brother's face stinking.
Solomon also sensed that something was wrong and the two men looked at each other before Rupert Rogers finally spoke up and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you have a bad time at the party?" Which client was so bold as to offend his brother?
Rupert Rogers was a little confused when he heard Hector Rogers speak up and question, "Was it you who had Layla Davidson amping up a lot of work for Eloise Thompson?"
At first Hector Rogers wondered how the good Eloise Thompson could be so busy and sick, but now he's sort of figured it out, and sure enough, Hector Rogers nodded his head.
"Yes! That way sister-in-law won't have time to go on a blind date!"
"Who asked you to mind your own business." Hector Rogers spoke in a somewhat sombre tone.
What would Linn Dail have done on her own if she hadn't turned up last night and tonight, when Eloise Thompson had a stomach flu and Linn Dail didn't get the call?
And then there's this Liu today, who himself had not shown up for the reception, and there's no telling what she might have done to Eloise Thompson, one thing after another, and Hector Rogers can't even imagine the consequences. Rupert Rogers had wanted to take credit for his work! When he saw his brother's horrible face, he had to stand and warily ask, "Brother, is there a problem?"
Did his brother want his sister-in-law to go on a blind date? No way!
Solomon sat looking at the two men with a dumbfounded look on his face, he blinked to say something but didn't know what to say.
Hector Rogers was really there to take the piss, he was upset, but felt that it wouldn't help to take it out, after all, there were men touching Eloise Thompson across the board.
He pursed his lips and eventually didn't say a word.
Looking at his brother's gloomy face scared Rupert Rogers, so he hastened to admit his mistake.
"Brother, I've instructed Layla Davidson to lighten my sister-in-law's workload, and it definitely won't wear her out."
The person is already sick from exhaustion, Hector Rogers said quietly in his mind, and finally sighed and said, "Put her with some reliable clients, and don't have any of those who try to get their hands on her." "Okay, I got it, brother."
Rupert Rogers patted his chest and assured him that he had a sneaking suspicion that his brother had met his sister-in-law at a social function today to meet a client, and that this client was still thinking about his sister-in-law. What kind of person is so bold!
Hector Rogers had already gone upstairs and looking at his back, Rupert Rogers was still a little distraught as he thought back on what had just happened.
He thought to himself, why not just give his sister-in-law a female client in the future?
Solomon blinked and froze, speaking up and asking, "Uncle Junior, what's wrong with Daddy?"
Rupert Rogers shook his head in disbelief.
Solomon sighed, "Uncle, when am I going to see Auntie Eloise? Didn't you just post a friend, didn't Auntie Eloise see it? Does she not like me anymore."
It's been a few days now and Solomon can't tell you how depressed he is and how much he misses Auntie Eloise's arms, Auntie Eloise's cooking and, in general, Auntie Eloise.
"Baby, you'll have to ask your daddy that question."
Solomon shook his head, thinking back to the way his daddy had just eaten dynamite, how dare they mess with it!
Solomon sighed heavily, this daddy and Auntie Eloise falling out even if it's okay, why make it so that he can't see Auntie Eloise too, he didn't do anything wrong...
...
The next day, Eloise Thompson went to the office with a black eye again and briefly told Layla Davidson everything that had happened last night. "Manager Layla, what now? This project is probably a bust."
Layla Davidson had received instructions from Rupert Rogers a long time ago, and she hadn't poked around before receiving the project, not realising that this Liu was such a person. Fortunately, nothing happened to Eloise Thompson, so Layla Davidson wouldn't have known how to explain to Hector Rogers.
"It's okay, I've already kinda Linn Dail said, that Liu wasn't that important in the first place, I'll get you another project later." Layla Davidson spoke up.
"Thank you Manager Layla," Eloise Thompson said with a million thanks, she hadn't known what to do, things had been said and done, Eloise Thompson was going to leave the office but then remembered Grandpa Fletcher's So she said, "By the way, Manager Layla, I have some business tomorrow and would like to take the day off."
Layla Davidson didn't ask for anything, she agreed and after Eloise Thompson left, she reported the matter to Rupert Rogers, whose every word was important at the moment.
...
After hearing that Eloise Thompson was taking a day off, Rupert Rogers wondered if he was going on another blind date. No way....
Although puzzled, Rupert Rogers forgot about it in a blink of an eye as Grandpa Fletcher's birthday party was tomorrow and he had a lot of things to prepare here, like a present for his beloved grandpa...
Rupert Rogers, who was in his office at the time, looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, you're really not taking your sister-in-law to Grandpa's birthday tomorrow, are you?"
Hector Rogers lowered his eyes, having initially intended to formally introduce Eloise Thompson to his grandfather today, but now ... how could Eloise Thompson possibly meet his family when he wouldn't even meet himself.
Rupert Rogers was sorry, "Why don't you go and persuade your sister-in-law? It would be a shame for my sister-in-law not to go to such a good opportunity."
In fact, Rupert Rogers is worried that his brother will be forced to marry by the elders of several families tomorrow. After all, Reeva Lawson will be there tomorrow, and with his sister-in-law away, it will be a big deal if his grandfather also helps his parents to get his brother and the Lawson family politically married.
"She won't be there." Hector Rogers spoke up.
She knew Eloise Thompson's nature and she would not have gone to this birthday party anyway.
Reeva Lawson entered just in time to overhear the conversation between the two, and for a moment, a smile flashed in her eyes.
He had made the right decision in going to Eloise Thompson earlier, and now it was good that the woman Eloise Thompson would not be present at tomorrow's party.
Grandpa Fletcher's words carry a lot of weight with Hector Rogers, and he will have to make sure that he is happy with him tomorrow.
...
The following day, Eloise Thompson dressed up, Grandpa Fletcher had been so kind to her, and since Eloise Thompson liked him from the bottom of her heart, the party was naturally a big deal. After getting all dressed up, Eloise Thompson set off for the party.
The party was held at a five-star hotel, the whole of which, was booked by the Godbold family.
The venue was incomparably exquisitely decorated and gorgeous, and the gathering of guests... was quite a spectacle.
