Chapter 214: Valentine's Day
At that, Eloise Thompson paused... Valentine's Day? How can you spend it? She didn't really care about these holidays, and Hector Rogers was so busy that he probably didn't care either. "Eloise, do you want to go and buy Mr Hector a present of some kind? Or maybe you should just give yourself as a present to Mr Hector? That would make Mr Hector very happy." "What are you talking about?" Eloise Thompson glared at Linn Dail, so immodest.
She was a little hesitant to buy a gift for Hector Rogers, which she had planned to do before, but had failed to do so because of Catherine Greaves' fuss.
After thinking about it, Eloise Thompson decided to go shopping for a gift for Hector Rogers after work and Linn Dail accompanied Eloise Thompson.
In the end, Eloise Thompson didn't buy another tie, but chose a cufflink, which was not too expensive and was just right for Eloise Thompson, and it was very delicate, which she liked, but I don't know if Hector Rogers would have liked it....... With that thought, Eloise Thompson smiled as the waitress packed her bags for her and the two left the mall.
In the dark, a man is staring at the back of Eloise Thompson, Felix Crammer, who has come to the mall on an errand and didn't expect to meet Eloise Thompson.
Felix Crammer's eyes were downcast, his eyes looked a little deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
...
Eloise Thompson spoke to Hector Rogers and joined Linn Dail for dinner outside.
On the way home, there was a phone call from Egbert Chumley.
"Hey, Egbert."
"Eloise, are you free tomorrow, let's have dinner!" Tomorrow, Valentine's Day, Egbert Chumley naturally wants to spend it with Eloise Thompson.
"Sorry about that... Egbert, I've got some business tomorrow and I'm afraid I won't be able to join you for dinner."
Whether Hector Rogers plans to spend Valentine's Day or not, Eloise Thompson plans to be there for him tomorrow, so maybe that's just like it.
At these words, Egbert Chumley's eyes flashed a little silence, but it was not good enough to say anything.
After hanging up the phone, Egbert Chumley's assistant approached the office and said, "President, I've checked, Miss Eloise had a car accident a few days ago and that's why she's been absent from the office for the past few days." At these words, Egbert Chumley's expression changed.
"In a car accident?"
A few days ago Egbert Chumley went to JS Creative Company to wait for Eloise Thompson, but was told that Eloise Thompson had taken a leave of absence and his calls were not answered, so Egbert Chumley had no choice but to find out. "Yes, but it's just a minor superficial injury, and it's all basically recovered now."
Egbert Chumley was relieved to see that his assistant looked a little hesitant and he asked with a slight frown, "Is there anything else?"
After dwelling on it, the assistant then spoke up, "President, I also found out that Miss Eloise has been staying at Mr Hector's villa for the past few days to recuperate from her injuries, and the two seem to ..."
At these words, the expression on Egbert Chumley's face changed at once.
"Get out!" He spoke indifferently.
The assistant looked at his own president and couldn't help but feel some heartache, for so many years, the president had been thinking about Miss Eloise, the two were so easily reunited, but... hey, the assistant sighed and eventually left the office.
Egbert Chumley's mind goes back to a scene from his university days and his expression darkens.
Eloise, is it really not meant to be between us...
...
Hector Rogers didn't really care about holidays like Valentine's Day, but Rupert Rogers did, and came into the office early the next morning to remind his brother.
"Brother brother, what are your plans with your sister-in-law for Valentine's Day today?"
Hector Rogers was looking at the document when he heard the words and his gaze flickered slightly.
"Valentine's Day?"
"Yes!" Rupert Rogers knew his brother didn't remember such holidays, so he continued to speak, "Valentine's Day aka Valentine's Day, and you and your sister-in-law are sort of together now! It's definitely a holiday! Buying a bouquet of flowers and having a romantic dinner to give your sister-in-law a little surprise, all the things a young couple should do together, you're not going to spend the whole day at the office?"
Rupert Rogers is really impressed by his brother's emotional intelligence. If he hadn't reminded himself, how disappointed his sister-in-law would probably be!
Hearing this, Hector Rogers paused, he used to not care about such festivals, but now with Eloise Thompson ...
Right away, Hector Rogers instructed his assistant to buy flowers and make restaurant reservations.
At the end of the shift, the entire Rogers Group staff exploded in shock as the line of people watched the always cool president walk out of the office clutching a bouquet of roses.
"Did you see that the president is holding a bouquet of roses! Is this going to be Valentine's Day? Wow wow, so the president is really in love, this is not a rumour!"
"Ahhhhh the president is so handsome that flower is so pretty! So envious of that woman!"
"What kind of woman is it that can become the wife of our president, it's so curious."
There was a lot of discussion, except for Reeva Lawson, whose face was so grim that she could not wait to cut Eloise Thompson to pieces.
...
Eloise Thompson thought Hector Rogers didn't care about such festivities, until he waited for her downstairs after work with a bouquet of bright red roses, and Eloise Thompson was flabbergasted.
He was leaning against the side of his car in a black suit, his handsome face expressionless, and Hector Rogers raised his eyes slightly as he seemed to notice Eloise Thompson's arrival.
At once, Eloise Thompson approached with a moment of panic.
It's a good thing she got off work late today and everyone in the company was basically gone, otherwise they would probably have exploded at the sight of this image!
Hector Rogers handed the flowers to Eloise Thompson and his low, magnetic voice spoke, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Thanks." Eloise Thompson smiled and took the words, a happy and sweet feeling flooding through her heart, a heart filled to the brim with a feeling that she had never had before with Robbie Gardner. Eloise Thompson thought to herself that she really was beyond love with Hector Rogers.
Hector Rogers opened the car door for Eloise Thompson and then took the driver's seat himself as the car started up and left the JS Creative Company building.
Eloise Thompson looked at the red roses and spoke with a faint smile on her face, "I thought that you wouldn't even remember that it was Valentine's Day."
"It was all Rupert who reminded me of that." Hector Rogers pursed his lips in response.
No wonder! Eloise Thompson can't help but smile.
"I never thought Mr Hector would celebrate Valentine's Day and send roses! Hector Rogers, you're really making me wonder more and more."
Eloise Thompson is reminded that when she first met Hector Rogers, the man looked so cool and scary that Eloise Thompson would be wary of being around him for fear that she would say something wrong and piss off the CEO.... Eloise Thompson just felt that everything seemed to be going in a good direction, yet it felt surreal to her, as if there was always something that made her feel a little uneasy.
