SWNOVELS Chapter 13
In the night club.
Eudora George massaged her aching temples as she pushed the door open.
It was going to be another long night. She wasn't sure how long more it was going to take for the client to finally come to an agreement.
It had been more than a month since Eudora made the deal with her husband. Felix Meyer had allowed her to work in the company since.
Felix had arranged Eudora to work as the manager of the business development department. While it sounded good on paper, she was the only hard-worker in the team.
Every project required her to deal with the client personally, and she often needed to entertain them till late at night.
But Eudora didn't mind it at all. If spending more time securing projects meant that she could get rid of Felix and the Meyer family quicker, she would gladly do it.
Eudora splashed some water on her face and refreshed herself. She then stepped out of the bathroom.
When she reached the entrance of the private room, she noticed a scantily-clad lanky woman leaning against a man's body. The man turned out to be Felix. Eudora had gotten used to it. Ever since she started working, she discovered that the things she had found out earlier about Felix were just the tip of the iceberg. He had done way more and Eudora had no intention on finding out more.
When she was about to walk towards the couple, the woman suddenly tripped and fell towards Eudora.
Fortunately Eudora was quick enough to step aside and avoid the woman from falling onto her.
Eudora looked at the woman pitifully. She wore heels as high as sky, her butt almost sticking out because of the skirt she wore was too tight and short. She fell on the ground, but Felix didn't even bother to help her up.
After picking herself up, she turned to Eudora in embarrassment and started to vent her anger at her.
"Are you blind! You bumped into me! Felix, look. My feet are all bruised now."
Eudora was amused by her antics. "Miss, I hope you're joking. You were the one who bumped into me and lost your own balance."
The woman was going to say another word when she was interrupted by the door opening behind her. Eudora's assistant came out and saw Felix. He greeted him politely, "Young Master Meyer, are you here to visit Young Madam?"
The woman was stunned and her eyes darted back and forth between Felix and Eudora.
People like her tend to have very good observational skills, and when she noticed that Felix did not acknowledge Eudora, she became even bolder.
"Oh, are you the good-for-nothing housewife that Felix often told me about? Why are you still doing outside instead of helping Felix entertain the clients inside?"
The assistant frowned. "Lady, what are you talking about?"
Eudora raised her hand to stop her assistant from speaking further. "You can go back in first. I'll take care of this."
After her assistant left, Eudora looked coldly at the arrogant woman standing in front of her. "I didn't know mistresses nowadays are so bold."
"You..." The woman clenched her teeth. "Well, at least I'm better off being a mistress than a lowly wife like you. At least Felix still loves and cares for me, but what about you? You're still out here in the middle of the night to entertain your husband's clients to earn us more money. Thank you for your hard work."
Pa!
Eudora slapped the woman hard.
"This slap is to teach you a lesson to behave yourself. If you don't know how to talk then just keep your mouth shut. If you're saying that I'm the one earning money here, are you insinuating that Felix is just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend his woman's money?"
Felix's face turned pale.
The woman was shocked by Eudora's remarks and quickly explained to the man standing next to her. "Felix, she's purposely twisting my words! I didn't mean that at all!"
Felix took a deep breath. "I know you don't mean it that way. But she's right when she said that you spoke without thinking carefully. You should apologise."
