Chapter 10 Purposely Making It Difficult for Her
The next morning.
Eloise saw the cute Solomon next to her the moment she opened her eyes.
He was snuggling up to her and was sleeping deeply. His long lashes looked like feathers and his
cheeks looked so squishy.
Eloise was delighted.
She had seen a fair share of children in the past 5 years, but she had never met a child like Solomon
that made her feel so affectionate. She liked him so much she didn’t want to let him go.
Eloise laughed at her silly thoughts and speculated that the Rogers family would probably give her a
hard time if she didn’t let Solomon go.
With random thoughts in her head, she tiptoed and went out to make breakfast.
To her surprise, Hector was already awake when she got to the living room. There was also breakfast
on the table.
There was rice porridge accompanied by Cantonese and Western tidbits. It was way too luxurious.
Eloise was amazed, “What are…”
“I drove to the town and got something as there weren’t any shops nearby. I don’t know what you like
and hence I got a little of everything.”
Hector said plainly, his voice was deep and magnetic resonating like a cello. He also sounded a bit
carefree which mesmerized Eloise even more.
His voice was pleasant to hear. She responded with excitement, “You are too kind. I’m not picky, I eat
just about everything.”
But she also muttered under her breath.
The great Mr. Rogers bought her breakfast! If words were to get out, countless of women would be
green in envy! novelbin
As if it was no big deal, Hector said, “Really? Good to know. Go freshen up, I’ll go get Solomon.”
Eloise nodded ambiguously and went to the bathroom.
She got out after 15 minutes and Solomon was already in the living room. He was snuggling in his
dad's arms, not wanting to wake up.
Hector was patiently waking him up, even though he had a stern look on his face.
Eloise was captivated by them. She wondered who Solomon’s mother was. The mother had to be
blessed, giving birth to such a cute child.
She also wondered why the mother wasn’t in the picture.
Was it because of the Rogers family, or was there another reason behind it?
Eloise was lost in her thoughts. Solomon noticed her presence and abruptly leapt away from his father
and ran towards Eloise.
Eloise carried him and asked happily, “Did you sleep well?”
“Yes,” answered Solomon while he smiled and put his arms around her neck.
Eloise ruffled his hair and said, “Let’s eat.”
“Okay.”
Solomon answered cutely. His eyes were shining, and he was enjoying the food. In a blink of an eye,
his porridge was all gone.
Hector sat next to him and had a complicated look in his eyes.
Back at home during mealtime, the whole family had to coax Solomon into eating and their efforts were
fruitless most of the time.
Now Solomon was the most obedient child in the whole wide world!
After breakfast, Eloise cleaned up and was getting ready to go to work.
Hector drove her and dropped her somewhere nearby the office since it was on his way.
As Eloise was about to get out of the car, Solomon hugged her thighs and wasn’t letting her go.
Eloise was dumbfounded, “Solomon my dear, I need to go to work and cannot play with you today. Be
a good boy and go with your dad.”
Tears welled up in Solomon’s eyes and he stared at Eloise as if he was pleading “I don’t want to be
apart from Miss Eloise”.
Eloise almost gave in, but she was still rational, and she told herself to steel her heart.
Her living allowance and her mother’s medical fees depended on this job. She looked at Hector
helplessly, “Mr. Rogers…”
Hector picked Solomon up nonchalantly and said, “Miss Eloise has to go to work, you cannot bother
her. But you can ask for her number and call her when she is free. We’ll come by again when she gets
off work in the evening.”
Solomon’s stopped pouting and looked at Eloise, his eyes filled with hope.
He was asking with his puppy-eyes if he could have her number.
Eloise couldn’t win him, she chuckled, “Of course, I’ll write down my number.”
She then searched for a pen and paper from her bag.
Hector gave her his phone and said, “Just save it on my phone.”
Eloise was taken aback, but she took the phone from him and saved her contact in it.
Solomon was finally happy again. He held onto the phone as if it was his treasure, “Goodbye Miss
Eloise. I will call you later, remember to take my call!”
“I will, I will.”
Eloise smiled and bid them adieu. She then went into the office.
Everyone in the planning department was staring at her the moment she stepped in. It was as if they
were looking at some kind of exotic animal. She felt uncomfortable.
“Polly, what’s wrong with everyone?”
She asked a colleague who she was closer to puzzledly.
Polly Duncan inched closer abruptly and hugged Eloise’s arm, “Eloise, you have to answer honestly.
Did you already know Master Solomon from before?”
Eloise knew that this question would come up, she smiled plainly and said, “No way, I have never met
Master Solomon before.”
“Then it’s even weirder. How come he likes you so much?”
“Right, he even gave Miss Kaur a hard time because of you.”
“You might not know about this yet, but the general manager promoted you as an official employee of
the planning department. He even made you the leader of this project.”
The other colleagues came over and began talking relentlessly.
Eloise was astonished, but she quickly suppressed her excitement.
She knew that the company would make her an official employee due to the incident, but she didn’t
think that she would be the project leader.
Polly then whispered to her ears giving her a warning, “Eloise, you have to be more careful from today
onwards. Faye was really pissed about this, she even had a big argument with the general manager
yesterday about it.”
Eloise was about to nod and then she saw Faye walking in from outside.
Everybody immediately ran back to their positions.
Faye’s expression was tremendously horrid. She gritted her teeth and slammed a bunch of documents
at Eloise’s table.
They were all proposals for Solomon’s birthday banquet. There was also some important information
that was looked into previously.
Faye was the person in-charged until recently, now she had to pass everything to Eloise. She was very
unwilling, “Eloise, you know your limit, don’t take on something you can’t handle. You’ll fall hard if you
climb too high without knowing how to fly.”
Eloise wasn’t going to lose, she chuckled, “Thank you for reminding me, Miss Kaur. But I think I’m
capable enough, don’t worry about me.”
Faye’s face contorted in rage, “Hmph, fine. I’ll be watching you. Don’t make the company a
laughingstock because of your failures.”
She then walked out without looking back.
Eloise had a bad premonition.
Faye…since when she gave up so easily?
Based on her personality, she would fight until the very end to get the project back into her hands.
Eloise sweated nervously, she then subconsciously opened the file on her table. The first thing she saw
was that important information was all tampered. The proposals were also shredded into
pieces.
