Chapter 15
"What?"
President Horace's grin grew wider. "It's nothing. We're all here for fun anyway. It's just a little pick-me- up." He reached out and grabbed Eudora George's hand.
Eudora stumbled behind as she pulled her hand away. "Don't touch me."
"You'd already come all the way here. Let's have some fun while we're at it." President Horace stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards her.
"Didn't you want to discuss business with me? Don't worry I'll definitely sign this contract. But before that, let's have some fun shall we!" he grabbed Eudora and pinned her down on the sofa.
His strength was overpowering her as Eudora struggled helplessly under his grasp. How could she even fight him, especially someone as big as him.
"You beautiful thing, I missed you like crazy."
"You can't do this!" Eudora struggled desperately. "You're breaking the law! I'll sue you."
"Sue me?" President Horace laughed darkly, "We're here to discuss business. Besides, we are both consensual adults. In what way would it be illegal?" He pulled Eudora's collar roughly.
President Horace glanced at the woman's exposed pale skin, his breaths turning heavy. He couldn't resist his growing inner desire as he stared at the attractive woman in front of him. His hand slowly slithered to Eudora's chest.
In a swift motion, Eudora raised her hand and scratched the man's face. President Horace stumbled backwards as he wiped away the blood from the fresh wounds on his face, leaving space between them. Eudora took the opportunity to run out from the room.
There were no one else in the corridor of the hotel.
Behind her, President Horace had already run out from the room and was gaining on her. He yelled at her in anger, "B*tch, I will make you suffer when I catch you!"
Eudora noticed one of the doors to a private room in the corridor had been left ajar. She quickly pushed the door open and jumped into the room.
"Help! Please call the police for me! Someone is chasing after me." Eudora pleaded.
"It's you? What happened?"
Eudora was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look.
The voice belonged to a man. He was looking at her up and down with interest, a small smile evident on his face. She was sure she had never seen this man before. But there was another man behind him and her memory was still fresh. It was Amos Granger, the man who asked her to be his woman a month ago.
She did not expect that she'd meet him again, at least not under these messy circumstances. After all the last time they met, she had warned him off once and for all. President Horace suddenly caught up behind her. He muttered darkly, "How dare you run away! I want to see where else you can run to!"
No matter how strong Eudora was, this situation left her trembling in fear. She wasn't expecting Amos to help her, so when she noticed the windows were opened, she instinctively ran across the room. Harley Louis stopped her. "Are you crazy? This is the fifth floor!"
She might be crazy, but she would rather die than get caught by President Horace. Especially now that Amos had seen her in her most desperate times.
President Horace entered the room and was about to grab Eudora when he was suddenly stopped by Harley.
"Franco Horace! What on earth are you doing? Don't you know we're in public? Do you want to go to the police station?"
"Oh, it's Officer Louis! I didn't know you're here too!" Franco grinned at him politely, his eyes darting around the room he just entered.
"Ah, President Granger is here, too. It's my great honor today."
Amos didn't utter a single word. From the moment Eudora came in until now, he just sat there nonchalantly with his legs crossed, as if all that was happening were none of his business. It was only when Eudora's eyes met his that she felt he was secretly mocking her.
She acted so proudly the last time they met, but reality had just given her a tight slap!
"Stop talking nonsense!" Harvey interrupted Franco's insincere speech. "Explain to me, what is going on?"
