Chapter 51 What A Coincidence, I Am Single Too
Rupert was speechless. Sure enough, he had thought about it a lot, and reconciliation wasn't going to happen.
'Hector was just waiting in the car like this? Tsk, tsk, who knew the dignified President Rogers would meet a day like this.'
With this level of efficiency, it was hard to find a wife for him. It seemed like Rupert had to help Hector, otherwise his sister-in-law might be robbed by someone else. Thinking about this, a mysterious smile flashed in Rupert's eyes.
The next day, when Eloise came to the company, a colleague said to her, "Eloise, there's a company dinner tonight. Make sure to attend!"
"Dinner?"
"Yeah. All employees of the company have to attend."
Thinking about it, Eloise couldn't help but ask curiously, "Will the president also attend?"
The longer she stayed at the company, the more she became curious about the identity of the president of the company.
Her colleague chuckled, "How is that possible? Why will he come to a small dinner like this?"
"Oh, right!"
"Don't forget to get off work on time this evening."
Although Eloise didn't like such gatherings very much, she couldn't find a reason to refuse. After all she was a new employee in the company, so she just nodded and agreed. "Okay."
After saying that, Eloise took out her cellphone and called Solomon.
The call was quickly connected and Solomon's excited voice came, "Miss Eloise!"
"Solomon! I will be very late at night. Don't come looking for me and waste your time, okay?"
Hearing this, the excitement in Solomon's voice disappeared.
"Okay. To what you should do first."
"Good boy!" Eloise smiled.
Alas... It was another day when he couldn't meet Miss Eloise. Solomon sadly hung up the phone.
In the Rogers Group's President's office, after Rupert finished reporting about some project, he said, "Oh! Also, you have an appointment tonight with the President of the FD Group tonight. If the meeting goes well, maybe we will talk about signing the contract. You can't be absent."
Hector nodded, "Give me the time and address."
"Eight o'clock at night, at DJ Club." After a pause, Rupert added, "Remember to be there on time!"
If Hector was late or did not go for any reason, his preparation was going to be wasted.
After saying that, Rupert left with a smile.
Hector raised his eyebrows. Based on more than 20 twenty years of understanding of his younger brother, he knew that his smile was certainly not without reason.
He vaguely felt that Rupert was planning something.
But at this moment, a work call interrupted his thoughts and Hector didn't continue to think about it.
That night, Eloise went to the dinner with Layla and others after they got off work. There were not many people in the company, only around twenty. Everyone went to the restaurant happily and lively. Eloise was the newest employee and Layla introduced her to everyone.
Everyone had a good impression about her and welcomed her to the company.
This way, the meal quickly ended up in a lot of talking and laughing.
After the meal, Layla looked at her watch and said, "It's still early, and it's rare for everyone to be gathered like this. Why don't we all go to a nearby club and have fun!"
"That sounds like a great plan!"
"All up to Manger Davidson's arrangement!"
Everyone agreed. They all looked very enthusiastic, if Eloise ended up not going... She was a little reluctant, she had never liked such noisy places. "Okay then, let's go!"
Layla pulled her along and Susan had no choice but to follow.
In the private lounge, people were playing cards and drinking; the atmosphere was quite noisy and lively.
"Eloise, welcome to our company."
Layla poured two glasses of wine. Eloise, embarrassed to refused, picked one of them up and drank it in one go.
"Thank you, Manager Davidson, for taking such good care of me."
Several colleagues came closer, drinking with Eloise.
At this time, a male colleague next to her joked, "Eloise, you are so pretty! Do you have a boyfriend?"
Eloise smiled awkwardly and said, "No..."
"Really? What a coincidence, I am single too!"
Layla realized that the situation was not the best and she quickly chipped in jokingly, "What does you being single have to do with Eloise? She is way out of your league anyway!" The male colleague chuckled, "Manager Davidson, come on now! Don't be like that. I am still considered to be in the top handsome people at the company!"
"What? You..."
"And what is this about Eloise being single? I think she has someone she likes." A female colleague spoke from the side. Then, she looked at Eloise and asked, "Am I right, Eloise?"
Eloise smiled and nodded.
She just didn't want her male colleague to flirt with her, so she admitted that's he liked someone. But she didn't know why, at that moment she couldn't help but think of Hector. 'What was he doing now? Will he send Solomon over tomorrow?'
"Okay, okay! Leave this topic alone and let's go drink!" Layla interrupted the conversation.
At the same time, the private lounge next door.
Hector looked coldly at Rupert who was sitting besides him and said, "What happened to the appointment with the president of the FD Group?"
Looking around, the private lounges were all filled with young rich people who came to have fun.
Rupert's blood froze under Hector's deadly stare.
"Hector, they just called and said that they have something to take care of and they can't make it. I was thinking, you seem so tired these days, why don't you just relax and have fun!" Hector pursed his lips and picked up his coat, ready to leave.
"Oh! Hector, don't go!"
Rupert hurriedly grabbed him and said, "We are here already. Just sit down for a bit, please! I promise you, the time you sit here will be way more valuable than going back to work." How could he let Hector leave after all his hard work?
"Just half an hour."
Hector frowned slightly, but finally agreed to stay.
Eloise was a weak drinker; she already felt a little dizzy after having a few glasses.
The private lounge was too noisy, she rubbed her eyebrows and excused herself to go to the bathroom.
Eloise washed her face, finally feeling a bit better. She slowly left the bathroom, planning to return to the lounge.
Walking into the corridor, Eloise saw a familiar figure in front of her.
The man was leaning back on the wall; his handsome face was expressionless. He was wearing a gray shirt that was slightly opened at the neckline, looking nefariously sexy. He stood there with a domineering aura around him, so that no one could dare approach him. Women who passed him in the corridor could only stare at him with hearts in their eyes, but couldn't get the courage to go up to him and say hello. Lost in thought, he lowered his head.
For a second, Eloise thought she had drunk too much and was hallucinating... No, it was really Hector!
Eloise had never expected to meet him like this.
What should she do? It seemed that he hadn't noticed her, so she could slip away in the opposite direction. However, it was too late...
As if perceiving her gaze, Hector raised his eyes and looked at her. For a moment, both of them were stunned.
'Why is she here?'☐☐☐☐☐☐
