Chapter 81 A Family Of Three
Reeva came to her senses and smiled, "How come you're here, Miss Thompson? I assume you must be feeling alright! Luckily no harm came to you, I was so scared that day, and I was still thinking to take some time off to visit you some day!" "Thank you for your concern Miss Lawson, I'm feeling alright now. I came here today to discuss an agreement with Mr Rogers."
"Oh, I see!" Reeva nodded.
Eloise's identity and background were still under investigation, and she could not help but feel puzzled at the moment. Had Eloise got related to Hector due to work affairs? While the two were talking, Hector passed the proposal to Eloise.
"The problems are basically what I've just told you, and you can amend accordingly."
"Alright, I'll take it back now to amend," Eloise took over the proposal and nodded, and she had planned to leave by then, but Hector's voice sounded again.
"No need, you can amend it here. When you're done, we can eat together."
Hearing this, Reeva who was standing on the side changed her expression slightly. She tried hard to keep herself in a graceful manner, but inside she was crazy with jealousy. She had previously invited Hector to have a meal together but was turned down, but now he was personally inviting Eloise to eat together.
Looking at Reeva, Eloise immediately felt awkward. She replied hurriedly, "This... this is unnecessary!"
"I've already told Solomon, and he should be on the way here now after his class has ended."
Hector's request was not up to Eloise to refuse.
Eloise was instantly out of options, and since Solomon was coming, she could not possibly leave. So she could only take the proposal aside to amend. Was it not just a meal together? Further, Reeva and Hector were not dating, and Hector did not like her, so what was there to be awkward about.
Reeva calmed her feelings and maintained her graceful stance, then she reported about work to Hector.
After a few minutes, Reeva finished reporting about work. She glanced at Hector and took a look at Eloise, a little unwilling to just leave like this. Was she really going to watch them go eat?
On this thought, while Reeva had just reached the door, Solomon then walked in.
"You're here, Solomon!"
She reached her arm out wanting to go forward to hug him, but she recalled the first time she met Solomon at the Rogers...
Reeva had found out that this kid's personality was similar to Hector, in that he did not really like to make contact with others.
But it was alright. She would take it slow!
Solomon replied, "Good to see you, Miss Reeva."
He was well mannered but distant.
Reeva smiled, she wanted to say some more, but Solomon had already ran over to the couch in strides. His entire person pounced affectionately into Eloise's arms.
"I haven't seen you for two days, Miss Eloise. Did you miss me?"
There was a smile on Solomon's face, his tone sounding terribly excited.
Eloise reached to embrace him, her eyes twinkling with joy as she replied, "I did! Of course I missed you."
Solomon smiled and he then greeted Hector.
Reeva stood where she was, her entire face frozen. She had never expected that Solomon would be so close with Eloise.
Why?
Further, Hector on the side seemed like he was used to this; the three of them looking like a family out of no reason. This scene looked very harmonised, and Reeve could not interfere no matter what. She could feel slightly that some things may be out of her control. She clenched her fingers tightly and left the office unwillingly.
In the washroom, before the mirror, Reeva's expression was no longer like just now and now it was already dark.
It was not that she did not know that the elders of the Rogers family doted heavily on Solomon. If Solomon had asked, no matter what identity Eloise had, they would surely agree for her to marry Hector.
Reeva's eyes became darker, and the feeling of danger becoming stronger and stronger.
No, she would never allow Hector and Eloise to continue developing like this.
This man could only be hers.
In the office.
After the proposal had been amended, the three went for dinner.
This was a French restaurant, the ambience of the restaurant was very graceful.
Eloise ate while she asked, "Hector, did you do anything to the Thompson family?"
Agnes had said today that Hector was targeting them, and Eloise could not help but got a little curious.
What on earth did Hector do to cause them to find her in the early morning?
Hearing this, Hector's eyes darkened as he asked, "They went to find you again?"
"Yes," Eloise nodded and did not plan to conceal it.
"But nothing much happened, I chased them away after we had a few exchanges."
Only then Hector relaxed. He pursed his lips and said, "Didn't the Thompson family and the Gardner family always had a project that they wanted to work with me on? They recently have their eyes on other companies, and last night Robbie had been in a well discussion with this company but it was cut off by me."
Eloise's gaze paused, no wonder Hector had come to find her so late last night, so it was to get this done.
Hector continued, "This project of
the Thompson family and the
Gardner family is facing great losses every day. If they can't find a suitable company to cooperate, the tw companies could face bankruptcy directly."
Eloise instantly understood. Hector was asking for her opinion, since she was one of the Thompson family.
"No matter how they are it had nothing to do with me," Eloise replied.
Since the Thompson family had cut off ties with her a few years ago, their life or death was no longer of her concern.
Further, Agnes had treated her that way, so why would she help the Thompson family?
Eloise thanked Hector once again.
Solomon who was on one side could
not understand what they were
saying. Seeing that the topic was over, he blinked and said, "Miss Eloise are you done talking with Daddy? Can you talk with me after you're done?"
As he said this Eloise immediately laughed. How could Solomon be this adorable?
The corner of Hector's lips curled up similarly.
The ambience in the restaurant was harmonious, and the three looked extremely like a family of three.
...
After dinner, Hector sent Eloise home.
When they were parting ways, Solomon once again showed his reluctance to bid farewell.
When on earth would his daddy marry Miss Eloise, so that he could see her every day?
Solomon sighed. It looked like he has to help his daddy.
Eloise kissed Solomon once on the forehead and said gently, "Goodbye Solomon, I have to go."
Solomon smiled, pulling on Eloise's hand not letting her leave. His eyes turned as his asked in an adorable voice, "What about daddy? Aren't you going to kiss him once too?"
As he said so, Eloise glanced at Hector on the side and was instantly awkward.
"No... no thanks, good night. I leave first, you two be careful on the road."
Saying this, Eloise immediately escaped.
Hector watched the woman leaving and instantly laughed. When would the woman treat him the way she treated his son?
